Liberals just don’t get the concept of “FREE Market”.

Liberals don't get the concept of "FREE".

I saw a few minutes of this cable interview last night but didn't stay long. She was boring. But I have heard her tell radio callers that Obama has not run up ANY debt, it was all inherited from Bush. Same with unemployment, same with taxes. Kind of humorous to listen to being so outrageous.

Libs are just too stupid to understand why they can't make it on the radio. It's just not good business for a free-market company to sponsor a radio show that trashes the free-market.

Ahhh Grasshopper, so much to learn. Do they listen because because he is on so many stations, or is he on so many stations because they listen? These people manage to make the obvious the mysterious. They cannot figure out where money comes from or how the “magic people” get it. So the only thing they know to do is take it from the “magic people” whom one radio caller said was the “ambitious achievement class” and give it to the “wanting class.” They can’t seem to even IMAGINE that someone may have something because they EARNED it and not by being lucky, evil or, in this case, “on so many stations.” Stunning stupidity.

Rush is on "every station" because people choose to listen to him.

Yes and no - they like free as long as it pertains to them and their speech or government benefits.

WBAP-AM (820 AM) in Dallas carries Rush. They have now added WBAP-FM (96.7) that also carries Rush.

According to Radioworld.com:
There were 13,977 in 2007

Breaking it down, there were 4,776 AMs, 6,309 FMs and 2,892 educational FMs, which the FCC lists separately.

From Rushlimbaugh.com I counted 592 stations that carry Rush’s show.

OMG, he’s on every station! LOL....2+2=5

Ya, right. Rhodes quit drinking long enough to put a coherent sentence together?

So Rhodes thinks there are no choices on the dial. No, there is no choice with ObamaCare. There are plenty of choices on the dial.

Next.

One huge reason, if not the biggest reason, why lib radio draws flies is the fact that libs for the most part don't pay attention to anything....except that bong or that crack pipe. Numerous studies have shown that conservatives are far more likely to pay attention to what's going on than libs.

That's why when one of my lib sisters complained recently to me about how nasty Ann Coulter was, I mentioned a few libs who could be called nasty. She didn't know who they were. In fact, she didn't know any of the approximately ten top lib scribblers and fraudcasters I mentioned to her. My sister's not a doper, but like most libs, she's extremely ignorant of facts and prone to blindly follow whatever New Lib Hero is put before her.

Ha,ha, thanks for the first laugh of the day. Of course you're one hundred percent correct.

This fits with the overall finite ‘pie’ mentality ... that if someone wins, someone else HAS TO loose.

liberal philosophy all boils down to the pie theory.

To be a lib requires that you never follow any reasoning to the next logical step to see what the consequences of a policy will be.

They MUST stop at the point where they feel good about themselves. Going further does not achieve their [stated] goal, but stopping achieves the actual goal of aggrandizing themselves and boosting their feelings of superiority or self worth.

Stopping the discussing at the “feel good point” doesn’t make for coherent, or interesting, talk radio.

Yea, here in DFW I know of one station that has Rush, 820AM... most of the rest is music (and NPR is in there somewhere :/ ), though I only tend to listen to 3 or 4 stations..

Huh.. that they did, didn’t know that. Just saw it on the website though. Well I suppose it’ll be better than the old stuff its been. I did like the old 96.7 the Twister but when Willie bought the station or whatever happened, they switched to old classical or something..? Wasn’t really country :/ so I didn’t listen to it

Liberals can’t conceive of anything that’s not rammed down the throats of the public. They have no concept of what market demand is; everything’s done by force and compulsion in their world.

You got her in some of her more lucid moments.

I’ve only heard snippets of her, one where she did a skit of shooting Bush.

Now there was some top notch radio.

At that time I had never seen a picture of her. When I heard that I got a picture in my mind of a girl, that if she walked into a bar, the only guys that would stay would be the deaf, dumb, and blind kids.

When conservatives regain power, the kindest thing they could do would be to assign minders to these poor liberal naifs.

You have stumbled accross the key to gaining liberal support for conservative doctrine.

It is perfectly clear that a large number of citizens prefer to be taken care of by a nanny state. It is just as clear that a preponderance of citizens abhor a nanny state. The humane thing is to provide both. In point of fact this is precisely what we have been about for the last 50 years.

Your kindly meant suggestion puts me in mind of a t-shirt I saw once: ______ is a filthy job, but someone’s got to do it.

In this case, re-educating liberals would fill in the blank.
