Think that if you want. I personally believe that idea to be reprehensible. I believe people communicating to the public even on a small scale should be as responsible as those communicating on a large scale. But maybe that's just me.

I don't know much about Air America, and no one's blaming you for the current state of the liberal voice in America. It's an interesting problem though. America is a rather conservative nation.

The only reason we don't have the public option or the single payer option was that Obama got beaten so badly for advocating either option, not because Obama isn't a socialist.

My point is that the form it has taken isn't the universal health care other nations have come to know. It's a insurance scheme. The reason why it happened is because people were freaking out about "socialized medicine" and "death panels" and so Obama had to change how he approached it, which is a shame. And this is where we get back to the OP: they demonized the health care proposal as socialist instead of seeing how it could actually work.
