Apparently, it means enough to you to comment about it. The reason their opinions are discussed and promulgated is because, well, people discuss their opinions. It's like Michael Moore - had everyone ignored him, he would have been as famous as, say, Michael Wilson, which is to say not at all. But since lots of right wingers spent a lot of time talking about him, he became the most successful documentary filmmaker ever. (Which is no suprise; right wingers often elect actors to positions of power, so they must not think Hollywood is totally devoid of intellect.) Don't get me wrong; you can talk about whoever you like.
