Air America, any listeners?

[WillyBWright]

I was listening to Randi Rhodes on my way home tonight and find her to be at least as much over-the-top as Rush Fullofhimself and Bill I'Rile-U. She was talking about a Bush / Condi Rice affair, and that Laura has moved out of the White House. Anybody hear about any of this? When was the last time you saw Laura and Dubya together? Wussup???

Ho Hum! ZZZZZZZZZZZ! Now I know why your political opinions are so out of touch!

Re: Air America, any listeners?

You're dude's approval ratings are in the toilet and I'M out of touch??? I listen for Al Franken, but my work schedule makes that difficult. RR is a bit much for my taste. But I'll admit she's at least as "entertaining" as Limberger. And just about as extreme.

Re: Air America, any listeners?

If you ever want to listen to someone first rate, if you ever get a chance listen to Bernie Ward out of Radio KGO in San Fran.<br /><br />Limberger wrote the playbook for all of talk radio. The more off the wall you are, the more listeners you have. I don't know why it works that way, but apparently it does.

When was the last time you saw Laura and Dubya together?<br /><br />When was the last time you saw Hill and Billery together ... except when he had his butt in a sling and she had to "stand by her man"? What a crock ...

Re: Air America, any listeners?

Bernie Ward hasn’t had any credibility for years and years and years. In fact, he couldn’t get a spot on KGO until it was reborn a liberal sister station to KSFO. Both the call-letter-impaired station (KGO) and the conservative station KSFO are owned by Disney.<br /><br />Never listened to Air Am but I watched it a couple of times. It shows (or showed) regularly on Robert Redford’s brainchild, the Sundance Channel. It’s a joke.<br /><br />For those you that enjoy Air Am, please keep in mind the station was floated by the theft of $800,00.00 of federal grant money that was supposed to go to NYC neighborhood community center that was badly in need of the money. The board of Air Am apologized and said they’d try to get the money back t the community center.<br /><br />No, won’t have anything to do with the party spokes mouths, be it any of the democrat/communist (same thing, no diff) liars, Bernie Ward, Al Frankenstein, Rush, Mouth-O’Reilly (aka the Fox News idiot), or I-don’t-know-what-to-say-unless-the-republicans-tell-me-what-say-Sean Hannity. There ain’t a nickels diff in any of them.

That comment is so freakin absurd it boggles my mind...

Re: Air America, any listeners?

forming opinions based on others' opinions... sheesh... what's next, interpreting ballots based upon voter intent and partially-displaced chads?

Must have been only 10 days or so ago we had a lot of TV coverage of George and his wife together. Our PM and wife spent a few days over there and all we saw was the 4 of them together, on many an occasion.<br />Cheers<br />Phillip

Quick! Someone call Al Frankin. It’s not a first-family divorce in the makings, it’s international wife swapping in the White House!!!<br />

Re: Air America, any listeners?

At least Bernie will take calls, and debate with those that disagree with him. <br /><br />A lot more than you can say about Rush, and all of his "Dittoheads"<br /><br />I like Franken, but he is not a radio personality.<br /><br />The problem of course is that issues tend to be complex, and a complex, nuanced airing of issues does not tend to make for dynamic radio.

Re: Air America, any listeners?

Ward takes calls because as a natural idiot he has nothing to say, needs the help of his comrade brothers and sisters to fill in the time on show. Like all other liberal talkers, he is a failure.<br /><br />Criticize the 800-lb gorilla all you want, his talk show success remains the envy of every democrat/communist (same thing, no diff) on the planet. In fact, several conservatives/republicans are able to maintain success talk shows. Not so with democrat/communists (same thing, no diff). Not a single democrat/communist (same thing, no diff) has been able to do that because no one wants to hear their mindless rhetoric.<br /><br />Sorry PW2 but the natural state of people just isn’t democrat/communist (same thing, no diff). That ideology is reserved for those that refuse to take responsibility for themselves, those who would take and not help others, those of the ‘Me! Me! Me!’ ilk. Their's is a mental illness. No kidding, watch any democrat/communist (same thing, no diff) closely and you see it, their liberalism is a true mental illness, they can’t help themselves.

Re: Air America, any listeners?

No,I am not able to listen. None of the local radio stations place their political idoelogies before their careers... They need to get Garrison Keeler to "contribute", lest they begone from their own woe. <br /><br />

<br />Incorrect.It's well-known fact that RL screens his calls, and takes liberals, or those who oppose him ideologically FIRST.<br />And if you had given this any forethought, you'dd probably have been able to figure this out without ever listening to his broadcasts.<br />It's one of the reasons he suceeds where others fail (and we all know who those are,don't we?).<br /><br /><br />

<br />Personally, I think Franken makes a much better "Stuart Smalley"<br />("he is Good Enough, he is Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like him!") But he is devoured by his own rage for both conservatism and America.<br />

Incorrect again, PW...What makes you believe black ink takes a back seat to "nuanced airing of issues"? That is silly, even at first glance, (which granted, is all i gave that PC PW theory).One need only look as far as R.L. ,Sean Hannity, Mike Savage, or Luara Inraham to name a few, to illustrate with a bullet, that the opposite is true.<br />And don't forget, some of us are "Rush24-7" subscribers who have first-hand knowledge of what we base our opinions of "what sells" on, as opposed to excusing failing ratings numbers to "nuance".

Re: Air America, any listeners?

And how much longer will it take to get AirAmerica in the black? And how much more monetary subsidising of AirAmerica can George Soros afford?<br />I know he is rich, but for the life of me, i do not know how he stays that way.

Re: Air America, any listeners?

Why does anyone listen to that bunch Blowhards is beyond me. <br />These loudmouths are partly responsible for the promotion of extreme bias and a turbulent political attitude in American civil society.<br />They all ought to be lined up and shot.

Re: Air America, any listeners?

The democrats/communists (same thing, no diff) don’t really need Air Am. They have PBS, courtesy of your tax dollars.

Re: Air America, any listeners?

I may be slow, but I'm beginning to understand the right wing/fascist (same thing, no diff)((see, I can do it too!)) mindset.<br /><br />Shout long enough, and loud enough, and often enough, while never saying anything new, and pretty soon you get everyone else to leave, and you are left with only those that agree with you, which must mean you are right, right.<br /><br />That would explain the approval rating, and explain a recent poll that ranked W as the worst president in the last 60 years, worse than even Nixon!!!

Re: Air America, any listeners?

What gets me is the divisiveness that's going on from both sides. The extremism and hatemongering isn't helping any of us. I listened to Rush for the entertainment value before. He's so over-the-top, it's humorous. Then I heard about Franken on the air and he seems a lot more sensible, although he certainly has his point of view. Lately Randi Rhodes has been spewing gossip without regard to credibility and it's hurting her station. I dunno, maybe extremism draws an audience. But who'd listen to a centrist station? What kind of audience would it draw? ME!!!
