Right-wing radio feasts like its ’92
Boston Herald ^ | November 6, 2008 | Jessica Heslam

Conservative talk radio yakkers took to the airwaves yesterday as though they were approaching the guillotine, all doom and gloom the morning after Barack Obama’s presidential victory.

“The process of rebuilding the conservative movement has begun,” declared Rush Limbaugh.

WTKK-FM (96.9) host Jay Severin played a clip of Obama’s acceptance speech, then told the president-elect to “go screw yourself.”

How is that "doom and gloom?"

I don't quite see how this is "doom and gloom."

I was all gloom and doom until I tuned into Rush today. He was definitely not gloom and doom.

America has called conservatism into question during the last two elections. Palin grabbed the base,but the election was lost in the middle. Obama stayed on message and McCain changed the message daily.

I heard the Severin comment “go screw yourself” but what the author fails to mention is why he said it. When Obama made a comment about needing help from everyone — including those who didn’t vote for him — Severin referred to Schumer’s comment about comparing talk radio to porn and then obviously the Fairness Doctrine.

just can not imagine in the privacy of the voting booth Rush Limbaugh having voted for Bob Dole, that would have been so against his interests as the performer in radio,” Harrison said.

That was an annoying article. Why is Rush a performer and KeithOlberman/ChrisMatthews a newsman/commentator?

Sounds rather American and hopeful to me. I guess that would be doom and gloom in a leftist’s mind.

“Tell the Republicans to go f___ themselves.” - Rahm Emmanuel

So why should anyone care if a radio host says “Obama, go screw yourself” over the air?

More evidence that liberals are the true deceivers and are enamored with the stifling of free speech. I am tired of their hate-filled labels. I have an online friend who is a teacher, a Republican, her brother served in the military; her fellow teachers ridiculed him today and his service. Good luck. I rarely watch TV anymore but I tuned into ESPN for a brief moment tonight and the Messiah was on. ESPN! The indoctrination continues. Quickly, the TV was tuned off. Instead, I watched a Lee Van Cleef movie.

I would like for every conservative in this country, using the radio, TV, newspapers, email to congress people - all means available - publicly declare that henceforth our objective, each and every conservative individual, is to become a burden on society.

Nothing would cure the left’s love of and propensity to Marxist policy and programs faster than the idea that they’re going to be supporting US!!!!!!!

The doom and gloom of 0bama as president and 99 per
cent Democrats in local offices. And people voting down
a proposed income tax wipeout, by a huge margin (because
we are just plain stupid.)
