Kyl calls talk radio liars
Hugh Hewitt show ^ | June 21, 2007 | Hugh Hewitt

Posted on 06/21/2007 6:31:37 PM PDT by fifedom

HH: Now Senator Kyl, why the attacks on talk radio from your colleagues, Senators Lott and Graham? It doesn’t, in any event, it cannot possibly help the party, and it can’t help the bill. What are they thinking?

JK: You know, I hate to speak for my colleagues, but I can suggest in the case of Senator Lott, because I’ve talked to him about it, is just said in frustration. If you look at it from his standpoint and mine, there is so much misinformation, and by the way, a plug for you, whatever your feelings on the legislation, you’ve tried very hard to get facts out. I mean, you just asked me a series of about eight questions that are designed to elicit information.

HH: Right.

JK: Well, not all talk radio is quite that constructive. And I’m afraid that there’s some of my friends who, for ratings or whatever purposes, have chosen to ignore some of the facts, and stress some things that were incorrect.

Hope this helps:

Was an Exclusive..

BREITBART.TV EXCLUSIVE: Appearing on John Ziegler’s evening show on KFI 640 AM in LA, U.S. Senator James Inhofe says he overheard Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) saying they want a “legislative fix” for talk radio.

My Transcript which is a little loose, but as accurate as I can make it.

Begin:

Inhofe:"... Opinion was formed mostly in this country by Fox News and by Talk Radio. I wish this was more the case than what it really is, responded the host, Ziegler.

Remark by Inhofe would not first give out the names: Inhofe said "you can guess who they are" (lead in)

Senator Inhofe said he was on the way to vote the other day and was walking with "two very Liberal "gals" and they were outraged about something someone said (on John Ziegler’s or Rush’s" or some other host he said) on talk radio.

(The Gals, at this point; as we do not have the names confirmed yet):
"We have to do something about this, these are nothing but Right Wing extremists..we have to have a balance..we have to do something legislative to fix this.."
Inhofe on getting off the elevator with them remarked that "talk radio was a market driven and, No, you don't understand".. "there is no market for your Liberal driven tripe"..
They are always complaining about talk radio, it is common chatter, Inhofe said .

John Ziegler’s pressed if these two senators were Boxer and Feinstein, whereas, Ihofe laughed and said Ziegler was half way there, and that the other was running for President. Ziegler guessed Boxer and then of course Hillary.

Then Ziegler went on and asked Inhofe if Boxer and Clinton were conspiring to end talk-radio and Inhofe laughed, "no, they just want to influence it".

Inhofe then told John Ziegler’s evening show on KFI 640 AM in LA The point is said Inholfe ,”that the market is still out there and it counts.."” —from that interview. Dateline: Los Angeles, California - Source: John Ziegler Show

Thank you very much. Am passing this on too some folks who are in that business. What part of “freedom of speech” and market driven economy don’t these pinheads understand?

They’ll attempt to take down talk radio first. If successful at that, they’ll come for certain blogs and forums next. Following that, the magazines. Following that there will be trips to “camp” to (re)educate the masses on the wonders of selling this nation out to the turd world.

Say what you will about both political parties, I’ll bet the trains will run on time.

“I think Thomas Sowell has it right We Need a Military Coup”

Glen Beck said something along those lines on air the other day. More like “the pols better get change their ways before a bunch of crazy, pissed off people of all political stripes start picking up weapons and marching on D.C.”

Is the phrase, “stinking Mexicans”, Racist?. I do know that you would have called me racist if I had wrote that.

Tell me, what race are mexicans anyway?. Mexicans are not the only Criminal Aliens that are in this country illegally. Any person of any nationality, race, or color that is in this nation illegally should be sent HOME.

In case you missed it, the sponsored immigrants I wrote about came into this country legally after the War Between the States. They were not allowed to live off of society.

I am glad you are enjoying FR so much.

Gallagher show interviewed Chris Wallace on this video today..and Wallace who will be interviewing Lott would not respond as think he had not heard the original exclusive on the radio show I mentioned..the source was his problem although did not dispute the integrity of the Senator who gave out the information. Gallagher did not run the whole clip..sorry did not have time to sit and transcribe the whole thing verbatim perhaps someone on here could do that for you..

Thanks

I wouldn’t have called you anything since I wouldn’t get my PC panties in a wad over a joke.

Course you saying My Ancestors owned slaves is not pulling the race card either. You Marxist conservatives argue like libs.

Somebody, Bush or one of his flunkies?, is rattling skeletons in Kyl’s closet. Wonder what they have on him.

It was posted in a discussion several days ago that Kyl has been promised a federal judgeship by Bush.

I am not a female, or a homosexual. I don’t wear panties. What gets your PC panties in a wad?. I mowed my own yard today. I am not rich enough to pay illegal trespassers to mow it for me. I don’t usually aid or abet criminals either. I went to Cozumel a couple years ago. I did not try to get a job, over stay my time there or get on the public teat. I tried to remember that I was in a foreign nation and treat the citizens with respect. All I ask is that foreigners treat me the same.

I did buy a good straw hat there. I wear it when I have to be in the sun for a while. I tried my best to act like an illegal. My neck got very sore from looking behind me all the time.

My next door neighbors daughter got married and moved her new husband in about 4 years ago. Since then a 4 strand barbed wire fence that was between my property and my neighbors has disappeared. It was more than 400 feet long. He has taken over some of my property that is next to his house for his own use.

I asked the land owner if he knew anything about it. He said his mexican son in law must have done it. Did I mention that the son in law is illegal?. Fences don’t seem to mean much to him.

That’s your interpretation of Kyl’s comments. I stand by mine. As for the headline, this was a talk show interview so there is none. The transcript was quoted for all to make their own interpretation of Kyl’s comments. Given that Kyl’s actions are diametrically opposite his campaign statements 8 months ago, I would advise anyone to read Kyl’s comments carefully.

Ask people you know that came here to become citizens for their opinions about this for yourself. They have words to say that the sanate should hear.

They're not listening to us, either.

I am concerned that the ridiculous Fairness Doctrine might be backed by some of these embattled Republicans as payback for the immigration fiasco.

As you see, the word went out from demomoonbat central that talk radio must be destroyed, and so all the little lemming-like demomoonbats are complying, and using every opportunity to slime talk radio and bring about its ruin.

Name one, Senator..

I'm not the Senator, (Although, my name is.. 'Kyle') But... I can name one: Rush Limbaugh

Before the flaming starts... Let me say: I love Rush. (Most of the time) And, I'm 100% opposed to this bill.. I've called both of my Senators three times each. But, I HAVE heard Rush being "loose with the truth" in his arguments against this bill. Before he left for a week of golf, I heard him say, several times, "Not one damn mile of this fence has been built". That's simply not true.

Not nearly enough has been built, I'd say..... but, this one issue is illustrative of how difficult it is these days to get truth on any issue. I have heard (and read) everything from Zero, to 2 miles, up to 90 miles of fencing has been built. I mean... how hard is this? Is there Fence? or not?? Why is it SO FREAKING HARD to get TRUTH on something this basic???

A Federal Judgeship. Kyl knows he is done in the Senate. He named his price and got it.

I am beginning to think you are right and my guess is the guru of Bush almost getting beat by kerry and the 2006 election debacle where Rove/Bush ran people against incumbents in the primary because the incumbents were against illegal immigration is the culprit. Heard he has been arm twisting and threatening according to some sources and it is not working with a lot of Senators.

Wonder if this is why they were so against Katherine Harris in FL? I never could figure that one out.
