Larry Elder is also pretty good about this (KABC). I think Michael Medved
(on after
Prager) is probably above-average in this regard. And, oddly enough, Rush
Limbaugh probably lets his callers talk the longest, irrespective of their
points of view. Sometimes the more they rant against him, the more he just
sits back and listens, politely. Though in his case it's more a matter of
"letting the opposing side's wingnuts make fools of themselves."

Dennis Prager. Shame I can't listen to him any more. He's on at 9 am
and was very civil to everyone, regardless of the topic or vehemence.

I like listening to opposing viewpoints. It challenges my own and I
have to pull back and ask why I think that way. Sometimes it changes
my opinion, and sometimes it reinforces it.
