They're freaking out because Dore isn't flattering them and aiming vicious snark at the opposition, like SNL, late night hosts and hollywood generally does. Instead, he's calling them out, and doing it with verve and humor. Comedians used to occasionally do that. Remember George Carlin mocking America's warmongering spirit at the time of Gulf War I, ("playing with our toys in the sand"), and getting booed on his own stage.

Liberals are used to owning the talent, and the message -- especially when it comes to comedy. It became their safe space. They sneer whenever the right tries to put up any cultural opposition, with their shitty comedians and weird end-times movies and books. Someone with Dore's talent aiming his daggers at them? That's something they haven't had to deal with.

But I'd go further in giving Dore some credit as a part of the political conversation. His "Stop the Vote" advocacy was well timed, well aimed and well conceived. He attracts some very effective guests and allies (Greenwald, Mate and Rogan among them). I'd say the shitlibs should be worried about Dore.
