Feeling sad and having just heard the news that President Ronald Reagan had just passed this past Saturday June 5, 2004 at 5:00 PM I switched my car radio from my local news radio to my local NPR, PRI affiliate to get my fill of the left by listening to A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor.
I can normally make it through the live shows but this last show I had to turn off. The show began with ridicule and cheers from the audience when the Host (Mr. Garrison Keillor) announced that the former President had past away within the last hour. Yes folks, there were cheers in the audience. I waited for the host to ask the audience to refrain from cheers and to show respect, but this never happened. I was so shocked, then I began to understand – it is hate, how the left hates us.
I am posting a link so you can hear this yourself.

Segment 1 at 3:17 into show.
LOL! Okay, Shirley, I'll let you have this round.
I don't know about you guys, but I have not seen Old Cracker post much, but I think his labeling me a genius (while spot on) was just dripping with sarcasm.
Where in my post do I express sympathy to NPR? I'm all for attacking Keillor and NPR when the conditions warrant, but it just isn't there in this case. Keillor didn't say or do anything disrespectful and I think you're engaging in some mind reading to claim otherwise. Now those jerks in the audience are another matter ...
Well, he labeled me Shirley (not spot on). So I'm guessing there was a little sarcasm dripping from his words.
When he calls one of his sheep "Shirley" they start to buck like hell and try to crash out of their stalls.
>>You reported back not only the wrong thing, but you divined what his intent was in singing it.<<
Hey, listen, back off pal!
The misreporting was an honest error. When I get some publisher to pay for an editor for me, then you can give me grief about honest errors.
As for "divin[ing] his intent," given the data I had, I would not call that divining, but the only ossible conclusion.
Geez, man... go find someone worth picking a fight with or get yourself a beer.
Thank God for Bill Gates.
Fights were so much more bloody in person than they are on the internet.
Guilty as charged.
What the **** does Bill Gates have to do with the internet?
He meant Al Gore.
Post 149 sounded unintentionally beligerent. It was confusion not anger that caused the "****" to appear.
You truly believe that you have to be a psychic to discern another person's attitude while they are speaking? From which planet do you hail?
Bwahaha!
See, the beer does some good some times, no?
That is ok.
Sometimes my keyboard gets stuck when my **** gets caught in between all my Crl Alt Del functions.
A very unwinsome spirit. I'll probably be leaving you to your own devices.
I will observe, however, that your post is probably the most unReaganlike one on this thread.
LOL. That's not what I meant. I meant his attribution of the internet to Gates was bewildering, not enraging. The **** meant to express that bewilderment, not rage.
And on 2nd listening, the song Garry sings is strangely appropriate, isn't it?
Used to listen to him, but not since Clinton was elected.
In this case, yes. You said there was a "definite sarcastic tone" to Keillor's comments. I heard the recording and I don't hear that tone. I think most people who were disgusted with the Prarie Home Companion broadcast were disgusted with those audience members who cheered, but you're one of the few who is disgusted with Keillor. I say that what you heard is totally in your head and that to make such a claim you would have to be psychic, because it just isn't there in his words or his tone.
There's a lot of good examples of liberal bias and malfeasance on the part of the Democrats and the Media over the past few days. This is not one of them.
[ Keillor was respectful and polite about the president as he always is about everybody, and just continued without stopping for a heckler. ]
Keillor is a die hard socialist.. maybe worse. Do a search on Free republic or even Google there are other items on Keillor.. Leftists are veritable traitors even the dumbest ones, they are enablers. Treason and/or sedition is not funny or even even cute. Compassionate conservatism is a mirage only seen by neocons or other ex-democrats. Keillor is an enemy of america. Not THE enemy but An enemy.
