Liberal Radio network? -Steve |

I detect... sarcasm. And, as far as I know, it's not Al Franken's network. He's just one of the people who has a show. Janeane Garofalo and Randi Rhodes are but two of the other notables. It's a breath of fresh air, that's for sure. There are too many Rush Limbaughs and Sean Hannity's as it is.

Actually, there's one Limbaugh and one Hannity AFAIK--but it's possible the vast right wing conspiracy has cloned them, encased them in pods, and sent them to radio stations around the country. I believe that Chuck D is another one of the "notables" on lib-radio. In fact, they have so many notables they they actually have had to buy stations (or is it buy time on stations?) to get these shows carried. So the analogy to short-wave isn't as far fetched as it seems. Since the left generally doesn't have much use for market forces, it seems kind of appropriate. |

Another fellow I like is Neil Boortz... his program originates from WSB in Atlanta, and he has some syndication across the country. |

He's the only one I heard railing against the misuse of "eminent domain" powers, in which townships force property owners to sell so a structure that generates more tax revenue could be built there. -- Stinger |
Like when George Bush got his baseball stadium?

In a genuinely competetive free market situation, this new liberal
network wouldn't last more than a few weeks. However, I suspect that it is being backed financially by some deep pocketed extremists who have a socialist agenda that is more important to them than financial profits. Poor ratings, which are nearly certain, will have no bearing on the network's longevity. This is all theory, mind you,and only time will tell. But as an example, take the WNBA. Most of us have no interest in watching a bunch of hairy butch looking women pretending to be top notch athletes on television. If you happen to tune in to one of their games, you'll notice that the stands in the stadium are predominantly empty. And the seats that aren't empty are freebies given out by radio stations and such to "lucky callers" and retarded school children. There is no way that the WNBA is making a profit, yet unlike its male counterparts, the old WFL and more recent USFL, it's still in existence. Why? Because it is just one element of the "equal rights" agenda that the leftists who own the TV networks have been beating us over the head with for decades. They trying to brainwash the consuming masses, through their obviously unprofitable ventures such as the WNBA,women's boxing, etc.,into accepting as fact that females are physically equal to males. Well,in reality, they are not. Nor are Franken and Garafolo equal to Limbaugh and Hannity. MB David wrote in message . .. Like when George Bush got his baseball stadium?

Maybe it is possible that wealthy capitlaists and Americans are tired of the hate being spread daily on the AM frequencies by the right. I'll try to keep from labeling them as Nazis, but that makes as much sense as calling Democrats socialists. But that is exactly what they are. They advocate taking from those who have, and giving to those who have not. |
Which shortwave stations carry this to Europe please? Sounds interesting?

I'm wondering at what point this term became co-opted as a an all-purpose slur on those with whom the left disagrees. Given the invectives hurled at Bush on a daily basis from that side of the spectrum, it's particularly ironic. The first poster's comments are not that far-fetched. Airamerica is being bankrolled--the buying of stations and/or air time without regard to market demand--by wealthy liberals--although I doubt they qualify as socialists. I don't have a problem with that, but let's not confuse this, at least not yet, with the marketplace at work. Of course a lot of people would have trouble admitting that those dang ol' rich conservatives aren't the only people in this country who use their dollars to influence opinion. |

If that is what they advocated, then yes, they were socialists. Hard for you to understand Ft Boy? Nope, not at all. Your idiocy is crystal clear. Crystal clear.... Hmmmmmmmmm... did you clean your bong today? The fact is, you are a convicted drug user... we have no reason to believe anything you say... Nor are we under any obligation to do so. The students you ostensibly 'teach' should be provided with the 'facts' so that they themselves can make up their own minds. |

Michael Bryant wrote: From: N8KDV Crystal clear.... Hmmmmmmmmm... did you clean your bong today? Are you longing to drink the bong water, again, Steve? Again? The fact is, you are a convicted drug user... we have no reason to believe anything you say... Be careful with that reasoning. Bush has been convicted of DUI and there's excellent evidence that he did community service related to finding a white powdery substance.... Can you document that with some 'credible' evidence Fat Boy? Do you want to come in and deliver a rebuttal? It might be interesting to have you do so. Contact me if you're interested. My boss is a former commander at Ft Knox, so you two should have a lot to talk about! His specialty area was human relations - he probably busted a few folks like you right out of the armed services! A few folks like me Fat Boy? I was never 'busted' out of the Armed Services. If anything, he'd be busting you! You are a convicted drug user! I have three Honourable Discharges... ....you got any? |

It's called "Capitalism." ADVERTISERS bankroll Limbaugh and Hannity, because they have audiences in the millions of listeners. "Bankrolling" is something these pathetic liberals are doing with THEIR network. Now, if I were to post like one of the liberals here, this is the point where I'd tell you that you're dumber than a stump, but I'm above that. Just read and learn. ;^) -- Stinger |

So in other words, if some government entity taxes the crap out of us we should just pay it because your 'mythical figure' Jesus said so? Give me a break Fat Boy. He advocated helping the needy. Nothing wrong with that Fat Boy... that's just something any good human being does, regardless of 'Jesus'. |

Les Limbaugh and Hannity (and lesser lights such as Savage) are advertiser supported. I have no idea whether those who support the programs with advertising dollars are Republicans or Democrats, but I suspect that there are at least some of the latter. It's not quite the same thing as what is going on at Air America, at least for the time being, where AFAIK stations have actually been purchased or segments of time bought for the express purpose of getting the hosts on the air without regard to receiving commercial advertising in return. To me, the latter is actually closer to the shortwave "model." |

But if history holds true, Air America will fail. |

Jesus was not a mythical figure. His life and death are both historically documented. Learning a little more about what this real person had to say while he was on this planet might do wonders for that surly personality of yours, Steve. Sorry, there is no contemporary record that shows that that particular 'Jesus' actually lived. |

Document the last time you helped the needy, Steve. Does that mean that you're admitting you're not a good human being? We're not talking about me today Fat Boy... we're talking about YOU! Document whether or not you've ever shared drugs with others. Document whether you've ever sold drugs, or not sold drugs. Like the answer isn't crystal clear....

And that's the best Bryant can do... he has 'some kind of degree' in Communications... |
