I thought he went to the Herald.

Lasted there for less than a year.Was given the title "Fictional columnist" by Howie Carr at the Herald.Barnicle is on Boston radio,and it is the worst show in Boston.He is the biggest name-dropper I've ever heard.Yuck!

Some are more susceptible to propaganda than others, BDS seems to be the first symptom.

Schadenfreude: in Boston, WTKK is cutting out one hour
of Imus' show and chopping Barnicle's show in half (decision
made before all this):

What is on after Barnicle at ten?

Obviously, when you posted, "Good, I'm in before most of the jack-booted thugs get here. Long live the I-Man," it caused a lot of us to think you're a big fan.

Was it your New Year's resolution to be obtuse or, has it been a lifelong commitment? ;O)

Watching a washed up, cud-chewing, name dropping, faux cowboy is not my idea of entertainment.

A friend of mine used to watch him and told me to tune in several years agao.

I did, and he was smashing a piece of pottery some fan had sent him because that fan had spelled his name wrong. I thought then, he was acting like a child throwing a tantrum. I haven't watched him since.

As far as I am concerned watching him is about as enlightening as watching "The View," and I don't watch it either.

I caught the first minute of Olbermann before I could change the channel..and Keith was saying that Bush's "new policy" for Iraq doesn't include training more Iraqis..

It is supplying more American troops for the insurgents to kill....

The whole network has set it's goal, and method of attracting viewers by being crude, treasonous, and anti-anything remotely conservative.

Failing to defend the indefensible makes you a jack booted thug?

Well then, count me in as a jack booted thug.

Lighten up, Laz. They were doing nothing more or less than what some guys might discuss over coffee.

Who hasn't wondered how they might act as they approached the gallows?

by "jack booted thugs" I presume you mean people who find it shockingly disgusting for radio hosts to discuss on the airwaves the physical and emotional demeanor of American govt officials being hanged.

You fall right into the Imus/Barnicle psyche of dehumanizing anyone who thinks differently than you in political matters...making their physical disposal a dispassionate and casual matter. You might have been a perfect foot soldier for der Fuehrer and many other of history's mass murderers. Read about it.

No doubt bolstered by the past November elections.

There's a difference. They are media icons. One of them claims nonpartisanship. They are doing this exercise in ghoulishness over airwaves sponsored by companies that -- by implication -- endorse the thoughts.

I cannot give it a pass.

He was getting off, I just don't think he's capable of a physical response.

So it was mental onanism.

Agreed. The show would improve if Imus just left.

Having said that, I missed that this AM on the show. BTW, I listen to it on the radio, I rarely watch it.

There was a thread earlier that had misidentified the guest on Imus. Some were calling for him to be banned. That's a jack-booted thug.

You completely misread it

It's not your "failure to defend". That's on the part of those that you condemn.

Without hatred, the left has nothing. It's their platform.

For what it's worth, I believe in free speech.

Comments made on Imus' show will aide the enemy--if they are one of the three people that actually listen or watch Don Imus.

Yes, patriots are now "jack-booted thugs", the brave Saddam and Sons were innocent bystanders in the ME, and President and VP are sinister, corrupt murders who deserve to die by the gallows while peeing themselves.

Wow.

Just thank god you have not gone insane, (as some of our countrymen have), and kept your wits about you.
