Bob Grant gets attacked in NY Daily News article

Posted on 08/23/2009 10:08:16 AM PDT by Politics4US

Bob Grant is returning to WABC on Sundays, beginning September 13, and this has liberals outraged. Grant is 80 years old, and they still won't leave him alone. The columnists as usual only comment on things conservative hosts say, and include nothing that liberal hosts have said.

Bob Grant is the best-hands down. He was the pioneer that blazed the conservative talk radio trail and predicted America’s decline decades ago. It seemed strange because his prediction was sandwiched between Reagan and the 94 Revolution, but he nailed it.

One of the on air personalities on WOR quit when Grant was hired to be on that station.

The left hates Bob with a passion and they always have.

GOOD FOR YOU, BOB.

Like he can’t take the heat! He’s better than a pot of simmering red sauce from Rao’s. I used to enjoy listening to him on WBAC on my commute. Comments like “mandatory sterilization,” “the men’s room attendant at the 21 Club,” and “folding like a cheap camera” used to crack me up.

He survived the Disney takeover, he’ll manage to thrive on this too. He’s no lightweight pansy.

Bad topee though. V-e-r-y bad!

Didn’t Sean Hannity get his start when Bob left WABC? My brain cells can’t seem to conjure up a time line of the events.

Bob Grant — Barry Farber -— They gave me sanity and a base all those years ago.

Good luck, Bob. I’ll be tuning in.

Ya, the leftists lecture conservatives that they have to be tolerant and celebrate divesity and all that. Yet, when confronted with diversity of opinion and diversity of thought, the left wants to censor everybody.

Conservatives are more intellectually honest than liberals. I know somebody will say that some conservatives use bullying tactics just as liberals do. But I’m trying to say that conservatives are willing to engage in the debate, explain conservative positions and values, and try to persuade others to that point of view. Conservatives generally can make reasoned arguments as to why conservative positions make for better social and gov’t policy.

Whereas liberals (not all but too many) will get into the emotional name calling and insults (somebody is racist, homophobic or bigoted), rather than engaging the debate and trying to persuade others to their point of view.

Consider arguments we hear on some issues:

Same sex marriage - if you oppose it, you are homophobic. Those in favor don’t have to make any argument as to why it’s good for society.

Abortion - if you oppose it, you are against women’s reproductive health rights.

Taxes - according to liberals, people above certain income levels “should” pay more to accomodate whatever new gov’t programs are instituted. If you oppose same, then you are against poor people or racist.

Healthcare - if you oppose Obamacare, you are against poor and uninsured getting any care at all. The fact that nobody can be turned away from ERs, or that many doctors do a lot of charity care on their own, is drowned out by the liberal noise that we must provide socialized medicine.

Federalism - Conservatives tend to believe that gov’t closest to the people administers programs most effectively. But liberals think everything should be run from Washington, DC, and that we need federal standards on everything from healthcare to sugar content of cereal. You can’t honestly debate liberals on this because in their mind, some states won’t provide certain gov’t services unless compelled to do so by the federal gov’t and Obama.

To liberals, their solutions are the only way to solve problems or provide services to people. They think that conservatives are homophobic, racist, sexist, capitalistic, and that these are character flaws in the conservative people.

Liberals with the ivy league education know better than people clinging to guns and religion how we should all live our lives.

I think Hannity was on late night and then after Bob was fired Hannity moved to day.......but I can’t remember either.

ABC actually brought back Richard Bey a few weeks ago It was the worst performance of all time. arrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhh

ABC fired Malzberg, brought in Savage, fired Savage and brought in Levin.........IIRC

THX for trying to remember. I recall Grant would also criticize Hannity, which tickled me to no end.
