LIB-eral talk network draws community's ire

At least Vernon Jones has a name.

I do not want McKinney back in, But I simply doubt that a non-Democrat movement like the one we saw last election could be mobilized.

Libs fighting libs....just wait until the ability to identify a "gay" gene is realized, if that turns out true. The left will implode once the first abortion to avoid having a gay child occurs. Gays, using the threat of extinction and using words like holocaust, will fight for the rights of unborn gay-gene-identified feti. The feminists will be forced to take the opposing position or else acknowledge that any gay fetus and by extension all feti do have rights...bye-bye RvW....or Hello to the newly Conservative pro-life gays.

As for Bob Law, this is sour grapes. He's as liberal as Fidel Castro. WWRL, the outlet over which he broadcasts, is even smaller than LIB. LIB is owned by inner-city, a broadcasting conglomeration founded by Percy Sutton with folks like David Dinkins and Jesse Jackson on board from the beginning.

Black politics in NYC is split into two long-fighting camps, Brooklyn and Harlem. There are generations of bad blood between the two camps which is why NYC is not another Atlanta or Detroit. Bob Law and his protege Gary Byrd (an incredibly self-absorbed idiot who was fired by LIB) are in the Brooklyn camp.

Mark Riley is a sophomoric boob who is worse at follow-up than Sean. Riley's typical response to any statement that should lead to a line of further questioning is "Hmmmm, interesting". He will impress nobody.

Lib radio has one goal and it is not long term survival. They need, in their plan, to be around only until third week November.

"I find it hilarious that the libs named their network Air America. Wasn't that a CIA cover during the 60's? Are they showing some subtle humor here?"

Yep, Air America is short for Air Head?

[StriperSniper]

I know, it took me months to get them straight, you never knew who was on which side of what. ;-)

You know, it might have been Loftus that he had on.

[FreedomPoster]

Hey, don't compare ATL to Detroit. There's actually a mayor who's trying to clean things up down there, and there is still have a substantial white residential presence in the city limits.

[Pharmboy]

I agree with them: they need voices from the African American community. They can start with Larry Elder, Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell (Sowell actually grew up in Harlem, IIRC).

[mware]

By the way did you ever hear why they dumped Paul Alexander from the show???

[Crazieman]

Yeah, but then Batchelor had on the guy who wrote the House of Bush and didn't challenge him, and THEN he had on someone from The Nation magazine.

I stuck a CD in instead. They replaced Laura for this guy? :/

[Musket]

We just heard Bob Marley's "Get Up Stand Up". Now playing "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" Yeesh. These people are stuck in a time warp. Yawn.

[TomGuy]

Now, doesn't this make you excited? Look at these faces. TG they went radio and not TV. They look much better on radio.

Drug-Free Radio Liars beware: Al Franken, co-host Katherine Lanpher and Team O'Franken invite you to spend three hours a day in the Zero Spin Zone. Weekdays noon-3pm Repeat: 11pm-2am

The Right has had its say for the last three years. Now, on "The Majority Report", co-hosts Janeane Garofalo and Sam Seder have theirs. Our side just got a little bit louder. Weekdays 8pm-11pm

Randi brings her own brand of provocative and infectiously humorous talk to Air America Radio. Weekdays 3pm-7pm Repeat: 2am-6am

Unfiltered is co-hosted by Lizz Winstead, Chuck D, and Rachel Maddow. This uncompromising program puts politics and culture through the ringer, uncensored and unfiltered. Weekdays 9am-Noon

Yes, its beautiful when the libs are forced to live in the upside down world they created.

Just so I understand what's going on: 1) the existing radio station caters to the "Carabean community" and is losing money (d@mn those racists at Arbitron),2) so they sold it to a fabricated liberal network which is a wholly owned subsidary of the DNC that has no plans to make money, and 3)the "community" feels that instead of being sold to out of town losers, the local losers should have been given a shot at not making money first.

I'm hoping that the local losers make life extremely hot for the out-of-town losers to the point that the entire circus tent collapses on their collective heads.

All in all this is an excellent way for the libs to piss away valuable campaign contributions AND alienate a sizable portion of their base at the same time. What's not to love?

[SwatTeam]

Yep, Air America is short for Air Head?

That's a given. I was thinking more like their desire to undermine and sabotage conservative talk radio. But I doubt they have anyone with that type of humor.

[Musket]

Now Marvin Gay's "What's Goin' On". Their choice of music really says it all, they're reliving the '60s. How sad.

[StriperSniper]

He was going on the political trail or writing a book or something. It was his decision to move on.

[NYC Republican]

Thanks. Just a couple of minor corrections

Sean's on from 3-6 in NY, The Great One, Mark Levin's on from 6-7, Luara from 7-9, and Monica Crowley from 9-10.

[reagan_fanatic]

Actually, I think AirAmerica will be a resounding success (as long as you don't factor in things like profitability or number of listeners.)

You are an astute observer. I think you're dead-on. This whole thing is an arm of the campaign. No other explanation that I have heard makes any sense.

Who is funding this thing?

[StriperSniper]

and didn't challenge him,

I know, he never really does, to keep them coming back. But to be fair, he doesn't challenge CATO scholars either. When he has foreign corespondents on, that is when his show is best.

They replaced Laura for this guy? :/

No, Laura does 7-9, he has been on at 10 since 9/11(or 12)/01. Laura is on vacation this week and Mark Levin does her 7 o'clock hour when there isn't a Devils game.

This is going to be like watching the deck hands re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, as it was sinking.

Okay, okay, that's not a nice analogy, but you know what I mean. I need some more coffee...

[Crazieman]

I meant replace Laura as in my station.

Although I wonder how the show is doing without Kevin Delaney adding remarks.

Does she still insult Lee?
