In Reply to: Then why does your opinion always form on the left?????? (sm) - .
Hubby listens to him all the time.
BTW, used to watch Glen Beck all the time. Can't wait until he's on Fox January 19th. He was on O'Reilly last night and I did watch, but he was pretty toned down, probably cause it was Bill's show.

Have you listened to their speeches? sm
Because Jr. and Sr. both frequently quote the New World Order.
The NWO is not a conspiracy theory. This stuff was discussed in my family for decades because my grandfather was a high ranking Mason and city councilman. All of them are Masons, and their symbols are everywhere.
I listened to the same speech today
It is really disturbing. He's been listening to Farrakan too much. To think your the messiah is one thing, to say it out loud is another.
Obama is not against offshoring. Have you listened to hm at all?
The global economy....citizen of the world...Didn't he say that the way to combat offshoring was better education so that our children could compete for those jobs? Basically saying that Americans were not qualified for a lot of jobs that were being offshored? Gee, I was SURE I heard him say that!!
Voting against Obama is voting against far left socialism. Voting against Obama is voting against changing my life in a way I don't want it changed. So yeah, I am most definitely, confidently, WHOLE HEARTEDLY voting against Obama.
If he REALLY wanted to stop offshoring he would STOP raising taxes on corporations so that we don't have the second highest corporate tax rate in the world. But if he did that, he could not pay for all his gimmes, now could he?
Yeah, that makes sense. No more tax BREAKS for those who already offshore, and tax them more. Yeah, that would make ME want to bring my business back to America.
That makes NO sense.
I've actually listened to what the Iranian president says.?
You said for liberals only, so excuse my intrustion into your world, but have you honestly not listened to some of the speeches he makes in his own country which usually begin something like *Death to America* etc. etc.? He's sounding all diplomatic right now, because he knows that his soldiers got caught in Hezobollah's forces, and he knows he has everything to lose. I'm going to watch it not because I think he's the best thing since sliced bread like some of you do, but because it's going to be real interesting when on Monday morning the free press rolls out all the hate/kill America speeches he's made, but you all will just believe they are fabricated too.
I listened to the speech. It probably sounded a lot like the one Obama..
gave at the dailykos convention. She stated twice very significantly about the Alaska constitution. That is the antithesis of secession. As governor she was recognizing a recognized party in her state. I don't think there is as much antipathy between parties in Alaska as there are in the lower 48. I see no problem in recognizing them. I am not willing to assume that Obama ascribes to the ascerbic smut from dailykos just because he spoke to them. I guess that makes me somewhat more broad-minded than you?
You mean something by "sambo?"
I've listened, watched and read
about as much as anyone and I believe the 95% applies to people who PAY taxes. Common sense.......how can you give someone a reduction in taxes who doesn't pay taxes. Nonsense.
I listened to Bush speak last night. No light at the end of this tunnel. nm
nm
I thought he gave a good speech. I hope all people listened

You C*nt Say That On Radio!

Believe it or not, I don't own a radio (nm)

You can also check out NPR on the radio....
conservative they ARE NOT.
Okay, heard from radio
about american solutions.com so one can vote on this energy bill, but I keep getting link broken. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Ron Paul radio interview
For those of you in the listening area, Ron Paul is being interviewed on NPR. I am in New England and it is on now. But if you miss it, you can log onto NPR on the web and play it back at your leisure. :o)
today on radio, they were discussing
his own party is in controversy over flip-flops. disgusted almost with the whole lot of them. someone said government growth has been 60% in the last few years. Don't know about that, but upsetting story on medicare losing millions by having doctor's available info on line which, of course, has been abused. Some of these guys have been dead for years and so people have been using their id's and #'s to scam/order wheelchairs. oh well, we'll always have more taxpayers, right? The name of the game is money, and they are all to blame for this energy problem, alternative methods have been squelched for almost 80 years. We could very quickly find ourselves in a fine pickle if they shut off the tap over there and I don't put it past them. After all, we have already made them filthy rich, they won't need us anymore, especially with our losing economy. Indonesia and Viet Nam won't even accept american money. or so I heard a couple of weeks ago, not like I tried to spend any money anywhere! I strongly feel the need to become self-sufficient and I mean that on an individual level as well, think 1800's. our people are much too busy fingerpointing to get anything accomplished and I am sick of all the bickering and wastefulness. I really feel for the ones to come after us.
I am hearing on the radio that it was her husband, not she...
who was the member and it was several years ago. The jury is out on that one.
Obama went to the dailykos convention and spoke to them. Does that mean he approves of the smarm on that website?
Wright said God dam* America. Obama was in his pews for 20 years. Are we to attribute that comment to Obama?
You can't have it both ways.
yep. talk radio covered this. sm
Rush said that's why they went after him. Seriously, for those who have never explored talk radio, it's like getting your doctorate in history. It's so different than what many think. Of course, I like all of it, but this is a fabulous encyclopedia for sources other than the "drivebys." Of course, that's why the far-left Dems want that so-called Fairness Doctrine. The centrists (what few are left flailing with little or now face time, for obvious reasons) know full well that if it happens to the conservatives, it'll come right back around and hit them in the butts, too.
The Dems are very divided but put on a show for the cameras. If a centrist or a new Rep. doesn't follow The Pelosi Principle, he/she will never get $ for another run, and certainly won't get to introduce anything of interest to that Rep. The domino effect on that trickles down to the Rep's state, which in turn essentially gets nothing.
It's quite refreshing to be able to have a friendly exchange here. What on earth happened? Let's hope it lasts!
do you ever listen to Glen on the radio as well?
don't forget talk radio!
Of course, the libs want to squelch freedom of speech with the so-called "Fairness Doctrine." If they had any brains, they'd nix that one, as it will most definitely bite them in the butt, too. Michael Savage, for one, says if they pull it off, he'll go after them (all of them will, actually) to get equal time on ultra-lib shows, such as 60 Minutes, NPR, etc. Funny how we taxpayers fund NPR, yet Rush Limbaugh has more than 20 million listeners, and continues to grow. My favs are LauraIngraham.com, Rush (of course--I'd marry him if I could and weren't already married), MarkLevinShow.com, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck (now on Fox). Glenn's best friend, Pat Gray, does a talk show in Houston with Edd Hendee. If you go to patgray.com, you can hear Pat & Edd's shows. Levin has the same. Laura is a total nut, yet not one to cross (recovering lawyer, as she says).
Due to the huge success of talk radio, the Dems can't stand it, which is why they want to shut down free speech, which is in our Constitution!
I hope to see future posts from you re this. You won't hear the stuff from the driveby media, for obvious reasons. MarkLevinShow.com has a Keith Overbite page, which is a doozy.
Enjoy!

Even our conservative talk radio sm
station focused on how "hot" Sarah Palin was, not her brains. How they'd like to see her naked, in a bikini, etc, etc. As for being governor, the state of Alaska ranks 47th in population, not exactly New York or Massachusetts or you name it. As for bashing her because she is "pretty", I'll take brains over beauty any day. Pretty shallow to back someone because they're "pretty" or "hot." The day Sarah Palin sets foot in the white house, is the day I move to Canada or maybe I'll move to Alaska!
And lastly, as for me typing my little black keys, look who is calling the kettle black. When was the last time you ran for governor? 
Ed's a good guy (though he's awkward on TV and better on the radio).

I agree. I only heard recaps on the radio the next day.
However, I agree with you Lurker. At first I didn't though. I was like *all that wasn't necessary* and when my husband brought up the funeral I told him and his reply was the Kings were political and those were things Coretta believed in, so why should people sugar coat things because of the guests. It was after all HER funeral, not either of the BUSHES.
I heard on the radio the same kind of thing...
asked people about Obama and put Palin as his VP and vice versa with McCain and Biden. People actually said that they thought the Obama/Palin ticket was great and didn't like the McCain/Biden ticket! Unreal, and these people are allowed to vote? Another reporter asked about the policies of each candidate, but switched them around and out of 10 people, 9 thought Obama would get their vote because he believed like they did (of course they didn't know they were actually siding with McCain). It's a sorry time in America when the homeless on the park bench have a vote that is more coveted than our military's vote. Freedom is right and those who are fighting right now are defending those on this board's right to bash them and their service.
I did hear about the flyers on the radio though.. that is true (sm)
Our local radio & TV stations were trying to make sure everyone knew that was a scan. You can't blame republicants for that though...was probably just a couple of people with a hair-brained idea.
Interesting Insight into Talk Radio
I confess I am fascinated by the inner workings of the things that influence public opinion, be it media, politics, or religion. I found this article fascinating.
He's from about 35 miles from here; been listening to him on radio for years.

Some crazy loon on talk radio today
said that Bush's grandfather had Kennedy assasinated. Do you believe that?

Death of Right-Wing Talk Radio Influence sm
The Death Of Right-Wing Talk Radio Relevance
By Steve Young
Twelve years of unmerited influence and half-truths swathed in red, white and blue patriotism met its demise this past Tuesday with a dagger to the heart served up by revelations from the Iraq Study Group substantiating that everything right wing talk radio had said was right about the Iraqi, was wrong.
Born the day Rush Limbaugh mid-wifed Newt Gingrich's Contract For (On) America, RWTRR lived a healthy and wealthy life duping a great portion of the America public into voting against their own best interests.
Right wing talk grew larger and louder over its lifetime, adding names like Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Neal Boortz, Dennis Prager and many more imitators. They each spent three hours a day catchphrasing words and thoughts - no matter how rickety their evidence (if any) - that the mainstream media would give equal time and space along side the truth.
All of a sudden, the truth was only worth 50% of any issue.
Enabled by a gullible mainstream media hoping to hitch itself to the growing Lords of Loud audience, the Rove-inspired red-herrings were greased up even more by talk radio's band of Professor Harold Hills and shoved charmingly down America's throat. And, as with all great con men, these snake oil salesmen sold hole-cloth, betraying the public trust and making fistfuls of dollars doing it.
To be fair, they had to. It's was a Catch-22. If they had trusted their audience with the truth, they'd have no audience.
But November's election and the ISG report finally drained life-giving oxygen from a lying heart. Not only did the public begin to understand they were being duped, but even the FOBIJB (Friends of Bush including James Baker) could no longer ignore the tide. Of course there will continue to be FOBIL (Friends of Bush Including Lieberman), but they will sustain escalating losses, just as the LOL are losing audience in droves.
But the one-two punch of November's mid-terms compounded by the Iraq Study Group's revelations, knocked a terminal hole in any credibility right wing talk may have had left.
Limbaugh admitted he was shilling for Republicans who didn't deserve to be elected, then attempted to hush the death knell rung by the ISG by recasting it, oh so hysterically, as the Iraq Surrender Group. Get it? He changed one of the words. Second-rate comics who are dying on stage always go for the insipidly obvious and as with the comics, it never gets the audience back.
Hannity has gone off the deep end calling everyone else but himself wrong. He persists on telling liberal callers that we found WMD even though Bush doesn't seem to have gotten the same intelligence Sean has while Curt Weldon and Rick Santorum were voted out of office whipping the same dead horse.
Beck asks an American Congressman to prove he's not working for the enemy.
Prager believes the same Congressman holding his bible will bring down American civilization.
O'Reilly can't drum up many recruits to fight this year's War Against Christmas, and how many times can you hear look at me with out re-tasting last night's dinner?
And Savage...? Well, just Savage.
Oh, they'll keep some listeners, but they'll be talking to a choir who doesn't care that they're hearing to a bunch of cloutless charlatans who never had the guts to serve our country but have no problem sending other families into life-changing horror; fans who don't care their heros had it wrong, and had it wrong over and over. And when it came to the war...dead wrong.
Now any relevance these cascading Lords of Loud might once have had, if not dead, is on life support. And if there are some in the legitimate media who still choose to give these mongrels of misrepresentation any time, space or air, they do it at the risk of their own relevance.
Right-wing talk show relevance was never married but leaves behind soon-to-be-irrelevant offspring: Dick Morris, Bernie Goldberg, Tom DeLay, Ann Coulter, David Horowitz, David Limbaugh, Bill Kristol, Michelle Malkin, General Tommy Franks, Oliver North, James Dobson, Whitewater, Swift Boaters, Flip-flopping, Terri Schiavo, The buses, Outing covert agents as appropriate government behavior, WMD, Saddam's close relationship with bin Laden, If you're against the war your against the troops, If you're against the President's policies you're against America, Activist judges are making laws, Making progress, Tax relief benefitting the middle class, No child left behind is a success, Republican legislators appreciating veterans, Pharmaceutical companies writing drug bills will benefit the public, Stem cell research causes baby cloning, and Wars against Christmas
Memorial services will be continued, sadly, three hours a day. All donations should be made to Fox News.
My husband heard this is a definite yesterday on the radio (nm)

I heard and interesting interview on the radio today...
While everyone is so wrapped up in Colin Powell supporting Obama, did anyone take note that Lieberman supports McCain?
Yeah, we need conservative radio shows to give any

Listen/Request Alan Colmes radio show in your area.
See link.
Nobody wants to listen to liberal talk radio..look at bankrupt Air America. No demand for it...

Joe the plumber was a plant! Talk radio knew about him BEFORE he asked Obama a question
He is related to Charles Keating of the Keating 5 scandal that McCain was involved in.
Rush
What an evil, hateful, intolerant, ignorant person, but that explains the following he has with some on these boards. Birds of a feather stay together. Maybe it makes them feel more powerful somehow. If they weren't so hateful, I might even feel sorry for some of these poor misguided souls.
There seems to be an increasing movement of hate and intolerance in this country, wrapped around the Bible and the flag, neither of which is undeserving of such sacrilage by people who claim to love God and country.
It's becoming scarier every day to be an American who (1) might not belong to the "right" religion (no pun intended), (2) who thinks that Bush is taking us backwards in time, and (3) who supports our troops by wanting them to come home to their families safe, alive and intact, and to only be used when absolutely necessary, not at the whim of a president who has lies and who can't be trusted.
Rush is all over this, too. nm

Rush is Right Again
Who said anything about Jesus? Maybe I'm a Jew!
If you go to Rush's w/s, you'll see his "official Obama criticizer," aka "Bo Snerdley."
And speaking of the Jews, it was a Dem. strategist who made the comment in FL that the Jews wouldn't vote for a black man. That may well be on Rush's w/s as well. Even Rush hadn't heard that one.
Y'all just make this way TOO easy too much fun for me!
Rush is Right
If you actually studied this stuff you'd know what you're talking about. Even Greta played the soundbyte of what he said. It was printed on his web page, and is probably still there.
I don't have time to get into having studied this literally all my life.
Regardless, if you think that having a Socialist in the White House is the answer and that border security means nothing, then vote away for one. Ironically, the person who wrote the book "Real Change" before Obama picked it up as his buzz word was Newt Gingrich. You may have no idea who he even is.
Try looking at JusticeOnTheBorder.com or EyesOnTheBorder.com if you want to compare what Obama & Clinton said about opening our flood gates even more as they pandered to all the illegals.
You probably also had no idea that he has over 20 million listeners daily. Literally nobody can touch him. When you're on top, they always try to topple you.
Rush is NO racist. Even so, there's no law against it, whether it be black against white, white against black, etc.
I can't even believe when read things like this.
Have a nice day.
Rush
I LOVE RUSH!! Rush's show is so informative and entertaining at the same time. At least we still have someone who tells the truth about our government.
Re: Rush
Rush is common sense, huh? Do you consider being a blatant racist common sense? He lets it be known that he hates minorities and women, and as far as he is concerned all women are brainless individuals who should not have rights. Do you truly consider what he spews as gospel? He is one of the most toxic media personalities I have ever had the misfortune to listen to as many others feel he is, and he offers nothing of value to the true COMMON SENSE American public. The citizens of this country, whether white, black, red, yellow need to be brought together to make a change, whether you like Obama or not, whether your party affiliation is Republican or Democrat. I look at our current state and it saddens me that these individuals whom we have entrusted have continually messed over us and we STILL believe what they say and do - look at what we have endured for the past eight years and will for years to come. It's criminal.
Rush Limbaugh sm
I stopped listening to him when he started calling us feminazis. I can't believe that big load of (expletive) is still allowed on the air. Not only is he ignorant, he's a hypocrite and a druggy and if he's trying to impress someone, it's not me.
You are losing it for us, Rush.
"Whether you agree with the fact that it's going on or not, we all have come to the decision that it's best that we win it. You haven't even joined us on that. You hope we lose it. You want to lose it because you want to embarrass the leaders of the country. What must your lives be like?"
First of all, there is no war to be won. Our enemy cannot be destroyed by brute force. Our enemy hides among the population, lives among the people. They have no strongholds we can attack, no supply lines we can cut, and no army we can outmatch and outgun on a traditional battlefield. We are fighting on their terms, but we have refused to acknowledge that. I ask you, what do you think Rush means when he talks about "winning the war in Iraq?" What does he envision as victory? The end of all violence against American targets? Complete and total peace? When Iraqis welcome our soldiers into their homes, and hug and kiss them in the streets? The insurgency is a disease. We have tried to destroy the infections that we have encountered, but we have not found a cure. We cannot prevent it, we cannot vaccinate against it. So long as American forces remain in Iraq, there can be no peace. You cannot convince the average Iraqi that we are there for his benefit, when his brothers have been killed by our soldiers, his home bombed by our planes, his life governed and monitored by our Army. So long as our soldiers patrol their streets, the Iraqis cannot be free, and the insurgency will continue. The hard truth is, the Bush administration does not know what to do in Iraq. They do not know how to achieve victory, because they do not know what victory should mean.
Leave Iraq. Bring our soldiers home. Apologize to the Iraqi people. Has anyone in the Bush camp ever thought of that? We are not fighting the Iraqi people as a whole. We are fighting various elements within the population. We owe the Iraqi people an apology, for invading their lives and killing their innocents (and because it was accidental does not excuse us from our responsibility). It is wrong to hate the Iraqi people. The vast majority of them are victims, caught in the crossfire. But the longer we remain in Iraq, the more noncombatants will join the insurgency, and become our enemies. The insurgents don't need to recruit new members; we are providing the people with reasons to join the fight against us, merely by doing what we are currently doing in their country. It is the propaganda that people like Rush spread that creates more and more hate, and makes it harder and harder to really and truly win the war in Iraq.
blowhard rush
But it is okay for the blowhard, Rush, to rag on people, lie about people, diss people? Make a joke about people and their struggles? The minute someone proves what Rush is all about and you freak out. Tell me, if the article by Olbermann about Rush is not true, why has Rush's transcript where he is putting down on Sheehan been removed from his website? Why has he denied stating derogatory remarks about Sheehan? He knows he did because we have it in the net and on video. You know, it bugs me that blowhards spout their hate and intolerance, bugs me for sure but it bugs me even more when you can't own up to your remarks. If he stated it, he needs to come clean and we all know he stated it, as the proof is in the net.
Rush's new bottom.
I do not listen to Rush but I saw this on television and read it in the paper. Michael J. Fox has done a commercial for the democrat running in Missouri who is pro stem cell research. He is obviously having a really bad day or his Parkinson's has progressed since I last saw him. Anyway, Rush said that Fox was **acting,** flailing all over the place, that he knew Fox had Parkinson's but that he has never seen any symptoms of it before this political ad. He said Fox might have stopped taking his medication so that he would flail around more, but if not, then he was acting. Unfrigging believable. I have seen Fox unable to sit still or stop moving many many times even while taking medication over the years. I think he was diagnosed in 1994 so 12 years later he has probably deteriorated quite a bit. This just struck me as so mean-spirited. Knocking the homeless, the mentally ill, etc. is one thing, disgusting in my opinion, but to accuse a sick man of faking it is snake belly low. People in glass pill bottles should not throw stones.
Now you know how Rush feels. sm
Only he really IS deaf.
Rush is a Band... nm
and he's a blow-hard.
Is Rush for real?
Did anyone hear R. Limbaugh's comments? I only caught part of it, but it sounded like he was talking about liberals as though we are satan or something. "You can't let them do this, or you can't let them do that". All the time saying "them" like it's a dirty word. Years ago I used to like him. Now he disgusts me. Now more than ever do we need a democrat president - just so I can see their faces and hear them whine.....oh wouldn't that be good.
You all have proven Rush right ...
no meaningful dialogue, just name-calling.
Rush Limbaugh
hero of the great unwashed said SP was a "babe", "could wear a skirt", had "definable ankles." I thought sexism was sexism whether complementary or derogatory. I'll know more after my bath.
