Sad. I used to enjoy her verbal sparring battles with Bob Grant and Steve Malzberg in the golden days of WABC 770 NYC.

I am sorry to hear this. I can't say that I ever agreed with her on anything political.

I did enjoy listing to her show and her sparring with the other hosts.

I met her once in Penn station quite by accident. We spoke for a few minutes before she had to head to WABC for a show. She was very pleasant and thanked me for listening even if I didn't agree with her.

Oh no...

I liked her alot.

We spoke on the phone a few times; talked about music / The Beatles.

We both knew that talking politics was out of the question.

A very, very nice lady.

Some guy called her WABC show with an anti-gun rant, obviously expecting her to agree. She began her reply with something like, “I’m gonna have to disappoint you...”

Oh no, I loved her! She is the first person I emailed on 9-11. She was very personable and always returned my email!

Sad news. There was something endearing about Lynn. Unlike others on the left she left you know when she had been had. I remember one call to her I made where I was speaking about the murder of Vince Foster. She replied with her predictable, "But he was Bill's best friend," in that unmistakable high pitched righteous whine of hers. So I said, "Where did you ever get that idea? They were 19 months apart in age. Clinton moved away from Hope to Hot Springs when he was six years old. They didn't go to high school together. They didn't go to college together. They didn't go to law school together; and they didn't go to Moscow together." Lynn was crushed and she admitted it with something like, "Well, maybe they talke on the phone a few times." The next time I called she greeted me with, "If it's not Carl from Oyster Bay, it must be Mike from North Caldwell.

WABC made a mistake cancelling her. Their bad judgment continues now to where Rush and Levin are the only ones I ever listen to.

RIP, Lynn.

I too, am sorry to hear of her passing. I hope it was not in pain.

One time, returning from a FReep in DC, she made a comment on the radio FOR Pres.Bush -——— defending him for whatever the incident/accusation was. (I forget the circumstances) But I was surprised that she would defend him in the way that she did. When I got home, I e-mailed her and thanked her for her stand, and that I was surprised that it came from her — but was happy she did so, and she needed to be thanked for it. She returned my email and simply said that fair was fair. She felt he was getting attacked wrongfully and he needed to be defended.

I never forgot that and it really made me listen to her in a different manner.

I hope her soul is at peace.

My wife could never figure out why I listened to her on WABC. She was definitely an acquired taste.

On lynnsamuels.com, which I presume was her personal blog, there is an audio of a melange of Sirius shows she had done around Christmas time in past years. I listened to it for the sake of nostalgia, even though I never listened to her on satellite radio. I presume that the FCC has no rules for satellite, because there are a slew of F-bombs in her monologues, almost all completely unnecessary considering the mundane subjects she was discussing at the time.

I’ll miss her.

Here’s a clip I found from a few years back talking about Obama; she was no fan. Whoever posted it gave it the title:

“Barack Obama Belittle and Stereotype Working Class Americans.”

Lynn was as far left as they come, but condolences to her family, friends and fans anyway.

She was the quintessential leftist New Yorker Jewish liberal with the raspy voice. I have to say she always tried to be fair in her own odd way. She was more a cultural leftist who inherited her leftism from her parents. She wasn’t dogmatic or doctrinaire which drove some her fellow radicals nuts. RIP
