I agree.  Lib radio can't survive for a reason.  The government shouldn't force it's survival. 

Sweet. I'm sending you some healing white light for that.  :-)

You just microwaved a puppy with your brain waves!

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I love you Rebel. 

Even though I'm more liberal than some, I don't feel it's the government's responsibility to "force" viewpoints upon everyone.  There's plenty of access to conservative vs liberal viewpoints.  The "fairness doctrine" is retarded at this point.

I agree and I told someone on my other site, who said it's about the public owning the airwaves, they can buy their own station. There are two conservative stations here. AM 580 and AM 1630. ...and a WHOLE lotta ****ing static between. 1630 had Colmes on, but no one listened. NO ONE. Are sponsors going to advertise on a program that calls them evil? Are people going to listen to people that constantly talk about how ****ed up this country is? NO! Rush, et. al. are entertaining. I don't listen that often, but I DO listen to the most entertaining sumbitch on radio, Neal Boortz, a Libertarian, religiously.

This is now about fairness. It's about control and shutting the opposition up. I've been in the Seattle market. The Newark market. The NYC market. The Dallas market. There are PLENTY of stations they could purchase. They tried....with Air America. Didn't work out too well.

No one listens to Colmes b/c he's an idiot.

Also I never needed to listen to Air America.  I see what DU posts of what they say, and I know I don't need to waste my time.  I lost all interest in Randi Rhodes when she said we were digging mass graves in New Orleans, when it's under the ****ing sea level.

I head Big Ed Schultz is pretty good as a liberal. Heard it from one of his friends. Ironically, that friend being another big guy, Neal Boortz.

I've listened to him before.  I do like him.  He's sensible, like me so I like him. 

The hardcore libs on DU hate him, so he must be good,  LOL

Too bad the only backbone we're showing this election season is the one that's piss yellow in color.


Who is the "we" you mention?

You got a mouse in your pocket?

Really?

He and Boortz are good friends because they're both tall men, Boortz being 6'4" and Ed, I think about the same, and they're both pilots. Boortz was asked to sit on some interview in England and they asked him if he knew anyone else with his views. The topic was about political radio's impact in America. He told them it should be someone on the opposite pole, so he suggested his friend Ed. They're both scheduled to appear this summer.

I used to work with a black guy in his late 40's.  He hated Colmes because he thought he was too much of a wimp and was not liberal enough.  The majority of the IT department at Ford was black (about 90%) and mostly agreed with this point of view.

This guy saw himself as a traditional southern/Tennessee Democrat, but he was as far to the left as the kookiest of kooks at DU.
