In a word ......................................YES !
It’s a job.
Drive BOR off the air first.
What’s your beef with Rush? He doesn’t do interviews, so that part of your argument is out and he came as close to a Primary endorsement he has ever had with Santorum. I don’t feel played at all.
“As for Rush, he is more interested in commercializing the tea party movement with his “Two if by tea” than promoting it.”
__________________________________________
Get over it.
Rush is as patriotic as any American that I know.
He is also a great spokesman for the conservative movement.
“Two if by tea”...come on.
of course
Rush is right.
Get over it.
Rush is as patriotic as any American that I know.
He is also a great spokesman for the conservative movement.
Ditto that.
Rush must contain himself. Sometimes when he’s discussing liberal politicians and 0bama, he almost lets go full force.
Yes, but Rush to his credit is pretty open about it. I don’t think he is joking one whit about bolting if the bottom drops out, and why not? Who would not if the option were there? He has also paid his dues and busted the crap out of many a leftist when he is not, in his own words “carrying water” for the Geriatric Old Plantation.
Hannity . . . Don’t like him for a number of reasons so I will withold comment. I don’t think I can be objective about him.
Greedy Capitalists promoting ideas just because it sells.
someone should stop them
Yes....
I’ve gotten to where I don’t take talk radio hosts or news networks seriously, especially if I know they are slanted in one way or another.... Even if it’s a ‘slant’ I agree with.
It’s so easy to turn on virtually any news broadcast(cable or network) and see that they are attempting to manipulate people.
If the radical Left has payed activist working 80 hour weeks to take you off the air and scare off your sponsors, wouldn't it be a fair move to have a backup revenue stream?
I know. Crazy. That scenario could never happen, right?
Uh, yes. Notice how quick they fold up and alter their views once their paychecks are in jeopardy.
Have you ever listen to Rush? If so, have you listened to him for long? If you can’t answer yes to both then you have no Idea what you are talking about. If you are truthful and can answer, “yes” to both then I feel sorry for you ... you obviously have missed the point.
As for Hannity, I don’t get to listen to him often, but I would put him in the same category as Rush.
In a marketplace of ideas, the bad ideas go away eventually. CNN. MSNBC, and others are examples of that. There is absolutely nothing to stop you from blogging, becoming a writer, or becoming a talk show host. To keep an audience, you would have to keep some opinions close to your vest. Savage and Stein prove that. Levin is the only one that can call someone a liar, or communist and get back on the air the next day. I think hat's because he's a lawyer and leaves a way out. Look at what's happened to Anne Coulter. I bet her next book isn't quite the best seller she is used to.
All Hannity cares about is how many football tosses he can get into his 1 hour time slot. Yeah yeah shoot your arrows but Glenn Beck is one of the few who actually believes in his message and has forgone big $$$ to do so.
The only one I listen to regularly is Rush. I don’t get to listen to all of every show by any means, but you only have to listen for a few minutes to know how much he wants Obama to be defeated. If you have listened to Rush for as many years as I have, you know that he never endorses anyone in the primary, but will support the eventual nominee because that is the best way to defeat the liberal agenda. BTW, one reason Ruah started his “Two If By Tea” company was to prove that the entrepreneurial spirit is still alive and well in America.
Rush and Levin are the only ones I listen to. Occasionally Beck...tho I’m growing tired of the ‘spectacular revelations’ he has (i.e. the Buffett connection to the pipeline deal. FReepers knew about that MONTHS ago!!!)
Hannity drives me nuts and I turn his show OFF as of late. He’s a toadie for the RNC....panders to the establishment with this “can’t we all just get along” attitude.
Particularly pissed about his lecturing to us about Breitbart’s death and that HE knew about Andrew’s heart condition and that we should lay off about the autopsy.
Most annoying with him is his pandering for the ‘black vote’ with the guests and callers he has on. It’s like....”well I know you’re going to vote for Obama......but can I sway you and your kids by sending you a beautiful arrangement of flowers from Pre-Flora and toys for the kids?” It’s disgusting. I’m sorry, No different from what the Democraps promise them. And that’s my damned opinion. So, there.
Rush is the very best he can be. Your comment betrays a smallness of character. Rush speaks honestly but he does not seek to be telling people what to do, but rather how to think conservatively. Your petty comment is a greater indication of what is wrong. What are you doing to help conservatives? Besides bitching and moaning.
Foolish post
Hannity came close as he could to endorsing Cain, and had he or any of them endorsed anyone, every other candidate could have demanded equal time.
Foolish
“It’s so easy to turn on virtually any news broadcast(cable or network) and see that they are attempting to manipulate people.”
I’ve noticed that too, regardless of the personalities or the agenda, propaganda seems more . . . crass? obvious? ineffective? I wonder if it is because it takes less effort, or because there is just such a saturation of propaganda that it is less effective, and indeed counterproductive. I am not aiming this at radio or any particular personalities, just ‘news media’ in all forms and at all levels.
Occupy the airwaves!
That's your job.
They provide information, entertainment and motivation. And deserve their hefty compensation for their talent regardless of whether or not their views are genuine.
I bet you enjoy falling asleep to a Hannity podcast of one of his numerous McCain interviews.
Levin is far from perfect.
He convinced many (suckers) in his audience that Palin was really running which was obviously not the case even at that time, and then he was rewarded with that exclusive interview by her well over a month afterward to admit it was not so, that she was not going to run.
Notice he asked her no real questions about all the things she did that ‘looked’ like she was running. That is why she picked him, a free ride.
On the positive for him, Levin's podcasts are free, The others demand $$$.
He is ABBBO now isn;t he?
Exactly...it is my job. Which I did in 2010 and will do in 2012.
I’m just not a sap that hangs on their every word like some around here.
I listen to Rush every day. He has never connected his Two If By Tea to the tea party movement. Damn good tea, by the way.
No
Rush is the best! I have listened to him since the beginning. He is playing straight with his audience. My other favorite is Michael Berry, the rest are not on my wavelength.

__________________________________________________________
No, he hasn’t. I need to get me some! Or send some as gifts!
so change the dial....
if you want a leader then be a leader
Is his tea very sweet, because I prefer a tarter iced tea?
I wonder if Two If By Tea comes in Sour Grape flavor?
President Obama is either 1. destroying the USA on purpose, or 2. intellectually >unqualified to be President of the USA.
Let’s worry about sending Obama&cronies back home in 2012.
Rush Limbo repeatedly states the defeat of >Democrats, liberals & the enemies of the USA should be the main concern of ALL Americans.
Would you explain a little bit more about Rush bolting? It’s been a good 2-3 weeks or more since I listened to his show. Is he talking about leaving the U.S.? I’d love to know when he discussed this.
One of my heroes is Gov. Scott Walker. A man of such courage but he doesn’t have a radio show. I have found YOU have to research and re-research your own information and not depend on talk shows for everything.
I haven’t heard it recently, but fromt time to time during the past several years he has said “I’ll let you know when it is time to go” and teased about going to New Zealand or some other unnamed place. I take him to be half joking. Half. But he has not talked that way recently.
I am sure he has contingency plans though, both as to his person and his fortune and his closest circle. He is a wily and pragmatic man, with the means to put his plans into action should he choose.
Rush and Levin and others are very brave. If 0bama is re-elected, there is a chance that their lives could be in danger.
He said he’d go to Costa Rica of all places. That was back in 2010 before the passage of ObamaCare.
Yes, he mentioned that too.

Why haven’t you created an “about” page? You’ve been on FR for a long time according to the date attached to your name. Why haven’t we seen any postings before? What have you been waiting for?
Rush still likes money but he is reaching an age where money becomes gradually less important. He is already super rich so what he is looking for now is recognition and adoration.
Hannity was never about the money. He has stronger core than any other celebrity IMO.
Levin is more about money than above two combined.
O’Reilley was always about money and rating and still is. His show is very entertaining as evidenced by top rated show for dozen years running.
Come on.....
Filthy tricksey capitalisticsists. Using filthy advertisementing to sell... THE PRECIOUS.
Yes, they always go for the establishment. Levin said support Romney. I don’t worship them..I use to adore them since they seem authentic. It’s insane to put liberal Romney at the head of the republican party. He began Romneycare. Their sheep will follow them-see these posts among us.
They all make money - so what? If you give them money and regret it - then stop!
