In what appears just short of outright panhandling, a desperate Air America Radio is now begging listeners for cash donations.
From a mass email pitch sent Wednesday afternoon, Air America supporters were taken to a webpage where a direct solicitation is made.
Resembling an online PBS or NPR pledge drive, the site offered paltry "benefits" for cash "gifts" to the liberal talk network. Is Air America unintentionally a not-for-profit enterprise?

To continue this great success story and start shaping the national debate the way that Right Wing talk radio does every day, we've got to reach into every community in this country. "Great success story"???
More lies from the lying liars who tell them.

To paraphrase Rush:
"Liberalism does not sell in the competitive free marketplace of ideas."
But they just don't listen, do they?!!...LOL!

Dear Danny,
When you have to scam $850,000 from a Boys and Girls club to keep your pathetic Hate America Radio network going under, the bottom is out the barrel. Rot in hell scum.

They never listen. They're too busy screeching to listen.

It's like Rush was saying about the NY Times charging for their editorials online. They aren't entertaining; they're not fun to read. Same thing applies to Air America. All whine, all the time. Who can stand it?

BWAAAHAHAHAHA!
This is from their donation page:
And for gifts of $50 and up, we've got FREE STUFF to send you. See the items on the right-hand side of this page.
For fifty bucks you get three official "I'm the dumbass who donated to Air America" bumper stickers. One hundred bucks gets you a stylish burlap tote bag reminiscent of the finest of Soviet craftsmanship, and two-fifty gets Al drooling your name out over the air waves.
That free stuff is awful expensive.

These people are pathetic. Losers!

I suggest we collect few pounds of expired grocery discount coupons from old Sunday newspapers and donate it to them. May it never be said that we are lacking in generosity.

Send them 1 CENT; then go to your credit card web site and bounce it right back at them. It feels good. I might do it again...... and again..........and again.

Let's face it folks... AIR AMERICA is not commercially viable.
We all knew it from the beginning and now the AIR AMERICA folks are suddenly realizing that their liberal format does not generate cash.
I am still watching the new AlGORE cable channel to implode under its own pretensiousness.

Just trolled some leftist sites and found nothing about any of these stories. That's one difference between them and us. If it was bad news for our side, at least we would post and discuss it if nothing else to inform people.
So now when AA stations start folding like a house of cards ( soon ), we'll know why, libs won't have a clue like they do with most things in life. They'll act shocked, simply because they didn't care to see it coming.
Here in Charleston, SC., Air America was replaced by an easy listening format. The goofballs are looking for a replacement station, stunned that nobody wants to buy a worthless product.
