Support REgressive Talk Radio even if your not a REgressive and it PAINS You to do so

This week, Air America Radio's Randi Rhodes aired a comedy skit in which sound like an annoucer was pumping four bullets into President Bush. Here how the skit went.

"A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn't safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here's your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of four gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. [audio of gun being cocked]."

Quote taken from this story at World Net Daily

According to Matt Drudge our government was looking into this but AAR says that no federal probe took place.

Many on the right are once again braying like horses (I could say Donkeys but that honor goes to leftys) about how the liberals are going to fail once again, and this attempt at Progressive Talk or should I say REgressive Talk radio is not getting above a 2 share on most the stations that carry nothing but REgressive talkers. It seems that the conservatives enjoy the fact that the leftys can't make it and want to keep it that way. Well I think otherwise and we need to support this rising format and I have a few reasons why conservatives need to listen once in awhile to REgressive Talk radio.

1. You can truly find out what their take is, and get the pure spin on the issues of the day. Their sure better than any talking head presenting the "news of the day.

2. It only helps the News/Talk format as a whole along with the other forms of Talk (Hot/FM, Sports, Business ETC)

3. It does not Hyperaccelerate the REgressives desire to reenact the "The Fairness Doctrine" in which the leftys hope to use to reclam their monopoly on the media for their elite friends, contray to their statement that its the "public's" airwaves. The airwaves belonging to the public is nothing more but a euphemism to say the government owns the airwaves which it more/less does. In a more libertarian society the Federal Communcations Commission would do nothing but oversee the transfer of ownership of property and make sure that the property including the frequences that they broadcast on are not stolen by anyone. Yes I do believe in private ownership including the broadcasting business. The leftys are trying hard to bring back "fairness" but the failure of REgressive talk would make give them an excuse to use in order to bring back their beloved doctrine.

For myself I can't really stand most of the cast of AAR. Randi Rhodes and her outragous things she does on the show is a turnoff for me and AAR choosing Al Franken just because he is good at bashing Rush Limbaugh does not mean it will become a great radio talk show host. Last night I turned into Mike Malloy (who is part of AAR) and I spite of his choice of words, he still uses that media professionalism that he gained over the years working at CNN and at two talk radio powerhouses in two radio markets. So maybe I can put up with Mike Malloy more/less. Rhodes should know better unless her audience really did like her injecting the "venom" into whoever she wants to goes after when she was just a local radio talk show host.

Their is more to REgressive Talk Radio than just AAR. Their is another group trying to promote REgressive talk radio which calls themselves Democracy Radio. This group was very influential in getting syndcated radio deals for broadcast veterans Ed Schultz and Stephanie Miller via Jones Radio Networks. Both not only have experience in radio but in TV too. Schultz was a sportcaster while Miller did a TV talk show and made some appearences on some short lived cable game shows.

Schultz truly is the one leading the charge in the REgressive talk. His talk program has clearned almost 100 stations, and its very likely that he may overcome the hurdle this year. Miller has been cleared on 20 stations and I had a chance to listen to Miller's show, and between her and Rhodes, I rather listen to the formor.

Also some other names that have done well in the Progressive Talk fold Neal Rogers (WQAM-AM/Miami), Thom Hartman (KPOJ-AM/Portland and Self Syndicated), Ron Kuby who is half of the the Curtis & Kuby show on New York City's WABC-AM, Alan Colmes (FOX News Radio), Don Imus (WFAN-AM/New York and Westwood One), Jay Marvin (KKZN-AM/Boulder-Denver), Lynn Cullen (WPTT-AM/Pittsburgh, PA), Bernie Ward (KGO-AM/San Francisco), and Stacy Taylor (KLSD-AM/San Diego).

Lionel out of WOR-AM says he is not right or left has found love within the progressive talk format so check him too. He does a great talk show.

Well I doubt I can never every lefty our their put hey I did my best. We rightys and limitted gov types should be more greatful for this REgressive Talk format. For me its giving me an interest in doing some research into their beloved hero FDR. I shall talk about that in another post somewhere down the road.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!

Foul Play Suspected in Case of Missing Bride-To-Be: From WSB-AM Atlanta, GA

Update on Air America Radio's Randi Rhodes

She said on her radio show

"But, if it crossed the line, then certainly, there must be punishment, and if there is, I want to be punished so that I can actually say 'Equal justice under law.' Anybody that has stepped over this line of law needs to be prosecuted, including me."

Randi, Randi, Randi; you should be setting a standard for AAR. You are one of the few broadcasters on that bloody network, but just like all the comics that are on AAR (Marc Maron, Al Franken, Jeannine G.) along with Mike Malloy (who should also know better but then again he got the shaft at two talk radio stations) are nothing but of babies who can't the "security blanket" for the Dems in which then they start sucking our money while taking pleasure in the blanket.

Would be interesting if Randi got arrested.

If AAR fails its because the lineup is nothing but babies on the air, but then again AAR knew they would get attention for their audio death threat towards Bush.

I tell you again if Progressive Talk fails it only make people like Louise The Ripper out of New York more desperate for "fairness."

Prime Time TV Score Card: Will & Grace is officially renewed for an 8th season

A few weeks ago it was reported that Will & Grace was on the bubble ONLY because of money issues.

Well that has resolved and W&G gets an 8th season and its been said it might be the last. 24 episodes have been purchased which above the standard full season of most shows. The only show that has 24 episodes in the can per year is FOX's drama 24, and that has to be 24 shows. If you don't know why it has to be 24 episodes per year than you don't know "Jack" about 24...Please forgive me Mr. Bauer :)

The 24 episodes will include a clip show and if W&G is about to fold, then a send off episode is in the works.

Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally will be paid $600,000 per episode.

RightMarch.com Defends Tom DeLay

I normally don't want to do beg-a-thons on this blog, but in case I want to link you some stuff from RightMarch.com.

As you know Tom DeLay is under fire by "Desperate Democrats." They accuse him of the same things they do. The difference is that they are "Desperate Democrats," and with the media being an extention of the Democratic Party they will do what they can to distory DeLay.

The two mistakes that DeLay did was to get the congress involved regarding the case of Terri Schiavio. It was one of the rare cases in which the Dems were right and respected the rights of the States. The courts and state and federal levels followed the law, and Michael Schiavo was the legal Guardian of Terri. Say what you will about him being faithful to Terri but that is the great thing about not having a official church in this country. DeLay also made threats to our judges when they did not present the outcome that the Bush and congress wanted...meaning put Terri back on the feeding tube and let this linger for awhile longer. That was his second mistake.

Funny how DeLay wanted to let his own father go into the afterlife when it was diagnosed that daddy would not recover. Got to please the Catholics and the anti-abortion crowd I guess. I am sorry for the parents I really am. You may not think so but if there is a heaven Terri's is sure to be their happy at long last.

In spite of DeLay getting involved in the Schiavio case he is still the best thing we got in our congress and the Dems hate that. To that end its time to link that stuff from RightMarch.com

60 Second Radio ad (Real Player Required)

The ad they plan to run in the key newspapers in the nation (Requires PDF Software)

Like most things in life, they need the money to do all of the above. This link will take to the page to do such.

Thanks for reading. Let's stonewall these "Desperate Democrats." More frightening than "Desperate Housewives." I watch a full hour of that show for once and I still would rather watch Young & the Restless over that crap. I also rather get Dallas on DVD as well. When will Falcon Crest come out on DVD??? I'm waiting you guys. How about getting Michael Reagan on this? After all Jane Wyman is the mother of Mike Reagan.

If your able to chip in to defend DeLay thanks.
