Re: They want to silence you because they cannot compete with you.

Now why would someone listen to what someone else thinks on the radio when they are capable of forming their own opinions?

Why would you care if others choose to listen to something they choose to listen too? You can smuggly characterize others in anyway you choose, but why deny freedom of choice, for what ever lawfull (CORNSTATUTIONALLY PROTECTED) reason they happen to choose to make said choice?

Right wing talk radio dominates because it is the party of the sheep.

Now that's an opinion you hold that may or may not be correct. I would guess, based upon yer postings that you don't cornsider yourself to be Cornservative. BTW, are you WillyBWright, as others here have charged here from time to time? If you were an actual Cornservative, the above mentioned opinion you have stated could actually be based on a potentially valid observation and could cornceivably carry some weight. Why do you think you have any basis what so ever to judge the media preferred by both Cornservatives and Independents, as well as many "thoughtfull" Liberals?

As an actual Cornservative, (regardless of what King Skinny thinks), I totally dissagree with your above characterization. My opinion is based on actual experience as a cornsumer of both hard Left MSM and talk radio. Talk Radio dispenses hard news and opinion with an immeadiate feedback from the audience. Now that is very dangerous fer the Liberal mindset. Actual news that is debated in real time with a live audience does lead to critical thinkin' and could lead to cornclusions different then those adjendas of the editors at ABC,CBS,NBC,CNN,MSNBC,NYT,WP,LAT,CT!! Maybe that's why it is sooooo popular n' growing in audience n' influance, eh? Must be real scarry to think that fellow Americans might have start to cornsider a point of view differnent then the editors of NPR eh: MrBScott19? So do ya wanna take one of my Cornstatutionally protected freedoms away? If so why?


It is the same reason Air America is tanking.

Another opionion that may or may not be correct, I have listened to that from time to time as well, (although it is boring). I actually somewhat agree with yer initial statement about Talk Radio as applied to this specific segment, and if yer a Liberal, I can see how you came to the above cornclusion and applied it incorrectly (IMHO) to Cornservative radio.

Liberals can get the Liberal slant 24 X 7 from all the dominate media. Engageing on a Liberal talk show where Kool aid of the same flavor as the MSM dispenses would be quite boring as yer initial take here indicates. That is why it is failing, and why the hard Left Liberal MSM is relentlessly loosing market share. These are obvious trends that only a person livin' under a rock could not spot. It is hard to fight an established trend, and Air America just provides observers of these mega trends more conformation, of what was already VERY obvious. That's why the Liberals need to tweek the "living breathing" Cornstatution do deny all of us FREEDOM OF SPEECH and the related choice of media, (unless approved by John F Kerry), or there is a chance of critical thinkin' breaking out all over.


Some people can figure things out for themselves and don't need to listen to that crap, others crave it.

Some like the MSM Kool aid and are content to think the thoughts induced thereby, and some prefer choice and some real news and views to make decisions about to see if the Kool aid is producing correct thought patterns, (or lack thereof): REAL SIMPLE, if ya have a functioning brain cell. JR

"The view"
"Daily Show"
"Meet the press"
We can (and will if this thing flies) use the same tactics to "SILENCE" them (just like good little commies). A little question for liberals -- Do you know how this tactic will actually silence Rush and Bill Maur??
Another: "Why should this not be extended to other areas besides the AM broadcast band??
Is algore's internet NEXT? hmmm....

But wouldn't it be best in this free republic to use common sense, and say "NO" to these tyrants on the floor?
They are now openly-debating this issue on the senate floor today.Where is your foil hat now, liberals?
As Rush, "the talk show host whos listener base is amoung the most informed", says,
"do NOT doubt me"
.

How far will you let this go?

Re: They want to silence you because they cannot compete with you.

Here's an idea... why don't y'all head over to one of these plitical forums and start a conversation on boating! I'm sure they'd all be glad to get your input.

Any one of these will probably do:
www.politicalcrossfire.com
www.itsallpolitics.com
www.politicalhotwire.com
www.whistlestopper.com
www.politicsforumpoliticalworld.com
www.libertynewsforum.com

But I really think you'd have the most fun at this one:
www.theliberalforums.com

And when you're done with that, why don't you find a pool party somewhere and go pee in the pool. That's always fun too!

Why do liberals have such thin skin? Could it be that they are treading on thin ice and have no more appeal than liberal talk radio?

I still contend that liberalism has only made the inroads they have because they couch their agenda in such kind, caring terms and that most busy Amuricans are only listening with a half an ear.

Re: They want to silence you because they cannot compete with you.

Look at all these marxists reveling in their attempt to suppress freedom of speech!

Look at you "can't-think-for-myself, have-to-have-talk-radio-to-tell-me-what-to-think" types trying to silence the opposing thought-holders by labelling them as Marxists. The "Liberal-Democrat" epithet has lost it's impact so now you have to try something else to try and shame those with some ability to think for themselves into silence. Where's freedom of speech now? Oh, it doesn't meet your needs so we must be silenced. Lest limbaugh might lose his soapbox to spew his hatred and intolerance from.

Talk about sucking up the Kool-Aid, if it weren't for talk-radio, you so called conservatives wouldn't know what was going on or what to think.

How can you accuse me of judging the media when thats all you do on this message board? That and judging people based on their political affiliation, liberals in particular. You have absolutely no room to talk. Granted you will, because this message board allows you to say whatever you want with no oversight or repurcussions. My post simply stated that anyone who listens to talk radio probably doesn't have the brain power to completely think for themselves. And whaddya know, most of them are republicans. Big surprise there. Not sure why you thought you needed to respond in length to otherwise general statements of opinion of mine, especially when you are just attacking my opinions with opinions of your own. You don't even make a legit arguement. Oh wait, I see that you've been here about 1/4 as long as me and already have over 5 times as many posts as I do. I think you need to get a life that doesn't involve a keyboard.

Tell me again why you listen to talk radio?

Also, I am not WBW and had no idea anyone on here ever thought that it may even be a possibility.

"A rose by any other name is still a rose" Who said that? Let's see how many government school graduates under the age of, hmmm? 48 can tell us. Government schools that have in recent years given us the current crop of un-critical, un-progressive thinkers. A school system that has, by design, produced a crop of people who do not understand human nature and thus succumbs to the feel good doctrines of liberalism.

When a party has a philosphy that in large part relies on taking something from one and giving to another, well, how can you deny that it is Marxist?

MrBScott, Jesus never commanded that Caesar take from one to give to another!

Don't care if you judge the media, I was questening the basis of yer judgement. Please re read my reply to yer post. Do you listen to Cornservative talk radio?

That and judging people based on their political affiliation, liberals in particular.

I try to deal with a persons' words not them personnally, please review my threads here. I actually like many of the Libs both here and where I live.

You have absolutely no room to talk.

I guess that is the problem. You don't want me to talk.

Granted you will, because this message board allows you to say whatever you want with no oversight or repurcussions.

Don't agree, but what ever floats that boat of yers.

My post simply stated that anyone who listens to talk radio probably doesn't have the brain power to completely think for themselves.

And my point was: HOW WOULD YOU POSSIBLY KNOW THAT? R U an ace mind reader????????

And whaddya know, most of them are republicans.

Hmmmmm, think yer real good at readin' minds n' judgin' brain fire power are ya?

Big surprise there. Not sure why you thought you needed to respond in length to otherwise general statements of opinion of mine, especially when you are just attacking my opinions with opinions of your own.

Yer opinions seemed unfounded to a feller with only one brain cell. So I stepped right up n' challenged yer words. Hope ya can tollerate a lil' interplay from time to time.

You don't even make a legit arguement.

Sorry ya feel that way, again: what ever floats that boat of yers!!

Oh wait, I see that you've been here about 1/4 as long as me and already have over 5 times as many posts as I do.

So I never can get as senior as you so a guess I'm kinda worthless eh?

I think you need to get a life that doesn't involve a keyboard.

You may have an actual point there. My GF agrees with ya.

Tell me again why you listen to talk radio?

I like to. It stimulates me brain cell when I'm drivin'.

Also, I am not WBW and had no idea anyone on here ever thought that it may even be a possibility.

Good, thanks fer the answer. I kinda like ol' WbW, (he is a very sharp boat motor tech, don't think he likes me old black boat anchors), don't see you as much. Can't remember who stated that. The record is now straight. Pleasure to engage ya. JR

That explains why I'm doing so poorly in life. It's because I can't think for myself... if only I was on drugs, in a gay marriage and receiving welfare... than I would be doing great!

Three salutes to Mike Pence from Indiana. He basically proposed an amendment to disallow federal funds to be used to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, and it won big, 319 to 100-something. When the rubber met the road, the Democrats did not have the guts to vote for this. It wasn't even close.
