As The Chris Plante Show forum coordinator, here is data from the template used to post his discussion forums in the Talk Radio thread:

The Chris Plante Show, 630AM - WMAL, Washington, D.C. is broadcast live Monday through Friday 9:06 a.m. - Noon and on Sundays from 12:06 - 2:00 p.m. by himself and with Jerry "WMAL's Pet Liberal" Klein from 2:06 - 3:00 p.m.

Chris Plante, often sub to Mark “The Great One” Levin, joined the WMAL team after 17 years at CNN including nearly ten years assigned to the Pentagon covering the U.S. military and intelligence community. Chris was assigned variously as Pentagon Correspondent, Senior Producer for National Security Affairs, Military Affairs Producer and as an assignment editor. He traveled extensively for CNN covering defense related stories from Saudi Arabia in 1990 and Bosnia in 1995, to Vietnam, Indonesia, Africa and the remote corners of the former Soviet Union.

Chris also hosts the public affairs show Homefront America which is currently seen nationally on The American Life television network, and is working as a documentary film maker. Representing the third generation of his family that has been “on-the-air” in radio and television, Chris brings a unique world-view, and largely conservative/libertarian values to his role as talk show host on WMAL.

Marching in lock-step with no politician, Chris says his political party is “Practi-crat”, “...because of my distinctly practical political leanings.” Chris received the Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio and Television News Directors’ Association (RTNDA) for his reporting from the Pentagon during the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001.

FAVORITE CHRIS PLANTE QUOTES:

“If it weren’t for ‘double standards’ the Democrats would have no standards at all”.

“The very aromatic ‘Stinky Ahmadgenocide’ of Iran, along with the 'ZZ Topniks' - the Ayatollahs".

“Pit-dwelling, blood-soaked, sharp-toothed, murder monkeys and troglodytes from Hell” (referring to terrorists).

“We screwed up Nicaragua? You got free elections, Rectum!” (referring to a Nicaraguan caller, Ricardo from Sterling, Va., who called the United States “a stupid country”) - 5/25/07 - Topic: Illegal Immigration.

“We should’ve left you to the Commies - we should’ve left you to the Totalitarians, you Moron, then you’d be living at the end of an AK-47, then things would be better, wouldn’t it? We should’ve left you to the Soviet Union! I wish Daniel Ortega’s regime had never been disrupted and they’d just stay with the heel of their Commie boot on your neck!” (referring again to Ricardo from Nicaragua) - 5/25/07.

"The Arab World [and more broadly, the Islamic World] is minting new lunatics just like Japan is producing new Toyota Camrys!" - 10/29/07.

"Our last caller, Clay, just stated that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are more dangerous than Khalil Sheikh Mohammed. Isn't it amazing?" (Note: Clay claims to have served 20 years in the military) - 11/8/07.

"Where's the 'peace march' condemning Osama bin Laden and praising the United States? There will be no peace march; there will be no rally. These people are murderous lunatics, waging war against us". Aug/Sept 2006

"There are a few daily non-stop flights out of JFK airport to the Middle East, but we don't see these 'peaceful pro-Islam organizations' [based in the U.S.] taking any flights to the region to rally for peace towards the U.S. I'll buy your damn plane ticket!" Aug/Sept 2006

"Liberal Line #1: 'There is no problem'". "Liberal Line #2: 'We (Conservatives) are the problem'". - 11/9/07.

"Attacks in Baghdad have gone down 77% in the past few months. So now, Baghdad is par with Philadelphia!" - 11/13/07.

"That theory has so many holes in it that Mohammed Atta can fly a plane right into it!" - (ongoing line; theory-bashing towards liberals)

Caller John from Md. (originally from Nigeria): “I didn’t come here [to the U.S.] to be white”. Chris’ reply: “No, only Michael Jackson can do that”. - 12/4/07.

“Smelly guys in their underwear, living off their parents’ trusts and living in the basement of their parents’ "McMansions", drinking Fresca with one hand while clicking their keyboards with the other and sitting in front of their computer screens all day and night -- that’s the ‘Moveon.org crowd’ “ - Nov. 2006

“You knock down two buildings; we’ll knock out two countries [Afghanistan and Iraq]” - 1/4/08
