True Left: 'You're off the air after we win'

WTKK | 2/11/08

[pabianice]

Just on the Jay Severin Show, WTKK Radio, Boston...

A self-described 24-year-old Obama supporter called Severin on the topic of the presidential campaign. The young man waxed at length about how in this election cycle the 18-29-year-old age group would be voting, for the first time, in enormous numbers. Enormous enough, in fact, to assure a victory for Obama. Severin countered that this group's huge turnout had never happened before and he doubted that it would happen now. The caller then started getting warmed-up, insulting Severin in particular, and conservatives in general as "old" and "on the way out." Severin countered calmly, which just enraged this peace-loving Obama supporter. The caller then spooled-up into a rant about the end of "old conservatives" in favor of the new, hip, 18-29-year olds (I couldn't help but flash to 'Wild in the Streets'). The caller finished by promising that, when his side won, Severin would be out of a job after the Young Left used their power to pull his show from the radio.

In all, a great look into a large part of Obama's support and what the Left is simmering over these days.

[RightWhale]

The Young Left is probably way too young to remember 1994 and what happened when the Young Left of that day tried the same.

[mdittmar]

The Young Left is probably way too young to remember jimmy carter;)

[redpoll]

The young fascists are in for a jolt when they realize that they should have taken our guns first.

[MrEdd]

In his drug induced haze, the little hip hop boy doesn't understand that the left by no means owns today's youth.

[DoughtyOne]

I certainly wish we could expect something approaching the same results this year.

[Digital Sniper]

The caller finished by promising that, when his side won, Severin would be out of a job after the Young Left used their power to pull his show from the radio.

Imagine the liberal media uproar over the "chilling attack on freedom of speech" if a conservative caller said precisely the same thing to Al Franken or any other Airhead America talk show hosts.

[LowTaxesEqualProsperity]

The Young Left was at its peak in the late 60’s and early 70’s.

Nixon elected twice. Nuff said.

[6SJ7]

Seventy years ago, this ‘youth’ would be wearing a brown shirt.

[lonestar]

Bet he doesn’t have a job!

[rintense]

The young left will get help from McCain with his support of the fairness doctrine.

[lonestar]

Bet he doesn’t have a job!

[Red Badger]

Projection is a symptom of mental illness.......

More of that great change we keep hearing about from Obama and his supporters.

[massgopguy]

Typically this type of Young Lefty has a, shall we say; San Francisco accent.

[whd23]

This yet another time I wish WTKK had show archives available online. It seems that I always just miss the idiot caller of the week.

[N. Theknow]

Ah, 24.

That wonderful age when the "old folks" make a lot more money than they need.

Have a much bigger house than they can use.

Drive a much nicer car than they should have.

And take little pills that warn them to contact a doctor if something lasts longer than 4 hours.

Like 4 hours is some kind of record!

[Red Badger]

That’s sooooo gay!..............

[Proud_texan]

"was at its peak"

Hehe, my first thought on hearing "young left" was George McGovern.

[Jacquerie]

The Young Left is probably way too young to remember 1994

Quite true.

The larger problem is the GOP has not forgotten how they had their rear ends handed to them in late 1995 with the conservative Newt budget. All of the popular media, rats, academia, etc pounded the pubbies into the dirt over draconian, socalled budget "cuts."

It is no small surprise that conservative pols are scarce and why the last one of prominence was Ronaldus Magnus. Conservatism is noble, but not often conducive to job longevity.

[MrB]

Just goes to show you what is truly in the hearts of the tolerant freedom loving “liberals”.

[oblomov]

And then, as now, his professors would be providing the moral and intellectual justification for his wished-for violence against others...

[2banana]

18-29-year-old age group would be voting, for the first time, in enormous numbers.

I have heard that same phrase for 30 years - never seems to pan out...

[AbeKrieger]

I can’t wait to hear what he’s got to say when Hillary engineers a comeback and steals the nomination back, fair and square.

As I read on another post, wish I could give proper credit, “The Audacity of Hope meets the Fist of Machine Politics”.

[killermosquito]

In a few years this punk will be amazed by how much his dad (or “old folks”) have learned in just a few years (props to Twain).

[Eric in the Ozarks]

14 or Fight !

[seoul62]

To all the self-haters of America out there - these are the brave heroes that are protecting your punk arses and your right to pontificate the nonsense that you wax on about. God Bless Them All And Lord, keep them safe and sound where ever they are in the world./Just Asking - seoul62........

[kidd]

Wait until the “young left” have their candidate bumped because of superdelegates and an illegal seating of Florida and Michigan delegates.

Have no doubt about it...Clinton will win.

[Rick.Donaldson]

Well, gangs are gangs I guess. Time to clean the weapons again.

[DGHoodini]

The Hillary/Obama/Pelosi/Reid acme of International diplomacy and crisis management:

“Osama!..Bubbie!..We can give them to you!”

[killermosquito]

The only way they’ll get my radio is to take it from my cold dead hands.

[tal hajus]

“In his drug induced haze, the litle hip-hop boy doesn’t understand that the left by no means ownd today’s youth.”

So true. My 27 and 21 year old sons are voting against “the hell that would be produced by a Obama or Hillary win.”

[50sDad]

A wonderful example for everyone who is too pure to vote McCain.

[Polonius]

“Wild in the Streets,” you say? Well, at least the LSD internment camps will provide some amusement.

[horse_doc]

The counter for the Youth Vote is to release "Guitar Hero II", in late October.

They won't leave their Mom's basement for a week.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Let them try it. All el Rushbo has to do is say the word. Ok, listeners, contact your elected representatives, and there will be no more talk of eliminating the opposition.

[dashing doofus]

Damn, what a novel idea: “Never trust anyone over 30.”

The kid must be so proud for thinking of that....

[bootless]

“Osama!..Bubbie!..We can give them to you!”

Sounds like that weasel in "Die Hard" - saw it (again) this weekend.

Absolute power, anyone?

[AndyTheBear]

Former Young Left movements have had successes banning free speech before. Like the National Socialist Party in Germany, and Communism in several nations.

[Eroteme]

McCain did not support the so-called Fairness Doctrine. Lots to criticize McCain on, but this isn't one of them. He and Sen. Thune co-sponsored legislation early last summer to stop the democrats from resurrecting it. It was the senate version of the Broadcaster's Freedom Act that overwhelmingly passed in the House.

[Yo-Yo]

The caller finished by promising that, when his side won, Severin would be out of a job after the Young Left used their power to pull his show from the radio.

And the Left complains that Bush shredded the Constitution.

Doesn’t matter. He is voting for the gummint to pay him to lay around and do nothing.

NOTHIN CAN CHANGE THE SHAPE OF THINGS

NOTHIN CAN CHANGE THE SHAPE OF THINGS

NOTHIN CAN CHANGE THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME!!!

[ronnie raygun]

I want to see this sniveling panzie when China and Russia are at our back door!

[OKSooner]

Or, alternatively...

"We're going to put everbody over twelve out of business."

[Right Cal Gal]

And if Hillbilly’s the nominee, they’ll be staying home. Which is fine with me.

[devane617]

Satellite Radio companies, Sirius an XM, is the answer. Look for a big migration to SatRAD in the coming year. When Rush moves to Sirius, it is all over for the threats.

[Hacklehead]

A lone hippie punk talks smack on some second class radio talkshow and people feel the need to respond?
