I wonder how Mike Gallagher ever got a nationally syndicated show. IMHO his talent is strictly local level quality.

I think it is a breeding ground for a lot of bad, bad things."

Yes, shall we list a few of those bad things? Free expression of ideas you don't like. Challenging the misinformation of the left. Putting dweebs like you out of business. Making you leftist back up your unsupportable statements. Giving us the place to gather and plan anti-left strategy. Making conservatives aware they outnumber you leftists by better than 3 to 1. Giving us a place post our Adobe artwork (using your face). A good place to meet hot conservative chicks. A good place to meet rich conservative guys.

Oh yeah, one more. Where else can you see a rabbit with a pancake on its head?

Mike "Buggywhip" Gallagher vs. Jeff "Turbine Engine" Blogworthy. The jealousy has been building for months now. The gritting teeth of entrenched old school personalities tossing down the gauntlet, screaming BRING, IT, ON!! And brought it was.. RatherGate, MemoGate, BergerGate, EasonGate... IT'S BIG TURBINE in the lead. No PAYMASTERS to bow to. It's CITIZEN PJ against BLOVIATING IGNORANT SOMEBODIES, HISSING AT PROGRESS!!

It's, THE BLOG......DAMMIT.........

[traderrob6]

He then went on to reveal his ignorance of how blogs work

Yep just like the anti-gunners pushing for gun control yet they don't know the difference newtween a six-gun and a shotgun.

It is time to DESTROY MIKE GALLAGHER!!!!

[PaulJ]

Let's see what this would've sounded like, say, 200 years ago and instead of the internet he was talking about the then current form of mass communication:

"...political writers are a bunch of "geeky losers in their basements cranking out crap on a printing press"

"the printing press provides "power for freak-shows to harass and destroy individuals."

"I am worried about this trend of legitimizing the printing press," Gallagher said.

"Gallagher stated what really bothers him about the printing press is that "anybody can do it."

What should really bother people is the way some wish to delegitimize any form of free speech.

we are mad with power

mad I tell you

You do realize there is a huge leftwing blogosphere out there. There are also anarchists and conspiracy blogs as well. He may be talking about them. If you look at everything on an even plane, everyone thinks their ideology is the correct one so who can say that the bloggers on any side are spreading the truth. Lefty blogs I read spread the truth as they know it and the conspiracy sites do the same thing. Blogs are nothing new, they are just prominent now. They do give everyone a voice and that is good. I wonder when some of them will become as arrogant as the MSM. Probably when someone really powerful sponsors one.

Who cares?

Mike is syndicated by the Christian Right Salem Broadcasting.

I think Mike's comments come from the fact that this was going way cool as long as the conservative bloggers make the discoveries and expose the left. But there's also an active left blogsphere and they too will unearth ditties on us that will get traction.

The blogs are as dangerous to conservatives as they are to the liberals. Ask Gannon/Guckert.

I think you can boil down his entire tirade to one fine point.

"Damn! I better negotiate a new long-term contract soon."

And for the record, I only send out /hundreds/ of emails. :)
