“Mark’s startling growth in radio audience”
I was curious because I know his audience is growing. I hadn’t thought of the difference between pay and free website hits, but I would think the pay areas are much smaller overall.

To get Rush's podcasts, you have to subscribe. Not cheap either.

You can stream Mark's from his website or download MP3's of his broadcast around 9pm EST daily.

Mark's numbers might be depressed because so many of us are subscribed to his podcast via iTunes so we can load it on our portable MP3 players or listen to it at our computers.

Mark's website will grow. But he's giving us for free what we have to pay to get from Rush and we can get it from Apple as well as Mark's own site.

That list sucks. Seriously.

Drudge? That’s not a conservative site. Matt simply links you to other stories, mostly at liberal news outlets.

O’Reilly’s comments and Rupert Murdoch’s refusal to criticize China should have put an end to the “Fox is right wing” thing long ago.

WSJ? Their editorial page is (except for immigration, where they’re hard left). The rest of that paper is as leftist as the New York Times. Their reporters staged a political protest when Rupert Murdoch made his bid.

US News is centrist, not conservative.

Lew Rockwell? Lew fscking Rockwell????? He’s a Bush hating nutbag libertarian, and has been from early on.

And on the subject of Libertarians.....Libs are NOT conservatives. The Mises Institute, while it does some good work in some areas, has no business being on a conservative list. Conservatism includes social conservatism, and Libertarianism does not. There’s no such thing as a “libertarian conservative”. That’s as absurd as “liberal conservative” or “marxist conservative”. No such beast exists.

I find Rush’s subscription rate to be very reasonable. $65 a year, is it?

Apparently, JimRob doesn't agree. Republican libertarians are a vital part of our party. They have been ever since the Fifties when William F. Buckley and Barry Goldwater created the conservative movement, both known for their libertarian positions.

Something like that.

Not as reasonable as Levin's free podcasts, delivered automatically nightly via iTunes. And I come to FR for articles and comments, not Rush's site or Mark's site.

But, O’Reilly apparently agrees with Lanny Davis that Free Republic is a “hate” site?

“Republican libertarians are a vital part of our party. “

There’s a split coming. The “pure” libertarians are incrasingly persona-non-grata for the social positions (legalize drugs? Insanity). Usually, “republican libertarians” were nothing of the sort. They were libertarian on economics, and conservative on social issues. “Real” Libertarians think there should be no restrictions, legal or otherwise, on any kind of social behavior. Drugs, prostitution, you name it. Ideological libertarians are in favor of it all. In many ways, I can’t see the difference between a Libertarian and a Democrat on social issues. You simply are not a real Republican unless you’re a conservative, and conservatives don’t believe in things like the smutification of society and legalizing drugs

Furthermore, once upon a time (before he got old and found out his grandkids were homosexual), Goldwater used to espouse social conservatism too, and Buckley always has.

The irony is it won’t rate there either....(chuckle)

You know its a kook site when 1)They ban the word ‘kook’...and 2) the longest threads are all about bashing FR.

O'Reilly's support of a possible 4 year sentence for the college student who flushed a coran (intentional mispell) was completely boneheaded, actually a complete brain f*rt.

He's usually fairly level-headed, which is why I think he enjoys a level of popularity, but the more idiotic stands he takes, the less respect I and many others have for him. His treatment of the Swiftboaters p*ssed me off no end! I rifled him 2 or 3 emails which were 'no holds barred'.
