RADIO:

KOA Radio is our largest radio station at 50,000 watts. The Mike Rosen program, from 9:00 to 12:00 noon is a leading local conservative show host. Rosen is opposite Rush nationally but is so strong locally that KOA kept him in this slot. Rosen will probably provide the best conservative analysis in Denver. Rush is delayed here and on-air from noon to 3:00 PM on KOA. Other host include Gunny Bob and Jon Caldara. Jon Caldara is excellent and the president of our Independence Institute, which is known nationally, at http://www.i2i.org for 2d Amendment issues as well as right to work and other free market positions.

KNUS Radio hosts Sean Hannity from 1:00 to 4:00 PM, and considered the local conservative outlet. Hugh Hewitt is on from 4:00 to 7:00 PM. Also hosts Bill Bennett, Laura Ingraham, Dennis Miller, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved, Mike Gallagher, Mark Levin and Michael Savage.

KHOW Radio has a mix of shows. Peter Boyles from 5:00 AM to 9:00 AM is good. He is more of a populist, along the lines of Bill O’Reilly. For example, he’s pro-choice and supports the homosexual agenda but he supports the death penalty and is hot after Democrat leaders. He supports the border agents and opposes the Mexican highway. The Caplis/Silverman show is good but this is a conservative versus liberal Democrat program. Bill O’Reilly is on this one from 6:00 to 8:00 PM and Glen Beck from noon to 3:00 PM

Notice its always the ugly, the unclean, the unkempt, the stupid. You know .... losers.

[macamadamia]

"fasist"

?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Those steaming piles have the gall to call themselves Americans? I don’t think so. That’s human waste.

[PackerBoy]

Pretty sparse and tame. In the 70s at U of Wisconsin, they could muster 5,000 students to protest the sun rising in the east — on about an hour’s notice.

[Snurple]

Bad breath, stinky feet, hairy armpited women....yep the dem’s have arrived!

[SLB]

Waaay too much time on their hands.

My exact thought as I looked at the first picture.

[DogBarkTree]

A lot of these folks are lilly white I hope they get a real good mountain sunburn.

[muir_redwoods]

Someone ought to alert these morons that the Iraq War is essentially over. Detroit has more homicides than Iraq

[brushcop]

No masks or face covering should be permitted by protesters. I believe police should not wear masks either, other than protective gear/face shields of course. When you do away with anonymity it tends to mellow some of them out a bit (the protesters), especially when photographed.

Always carry a camera/cam phone, etc., with you, in your car, you never know what evidence you will discover and provide.

[Snurple]

Love them liberal women...lmao

[Parley Baer]

Yep, just run of the mill dimocRATS. I hope the jail is big enough for all of them.

From Denver CBS4:

“...Nearby, about 50 counter-demonstraters, including military families waved American flags, sang the National Anthem and hoisted signs praising GOP candidate John McCain and Gen. David Patraeus, commander of U.S. troops in Iraq. One sign portrayed a soldier and the words, “Want peace? Shut up and let us do our job.”

Nancy Hecker held a sign with a picture of Petraeus. She and her husband moved to Colorado Springs to be with their four grandchildren after her son, Maj. Bill Hecker, died in Iraq in January 2006.

“I’m here to honor our son and the sacrifice he made for our country and to support the troops and the families who give so much,” Hecker said.

Although Hecker supports McCain for president, she said Sunday’s event wasn’t about politics.

Another sign had an arrow pointing to the war protesters with the words “Al-Qaida Fan Club.”

“I don’t get why they don’t understand,” said 23-year-old Michael Haynes of Fort Collins, who said he served two tours in Iraq with the Marines...”

Some of the good guys were too!

And in the 70s the protestors had no qualms about scrapping with the police. These kids are just out for the afternoon ... playing with bandanas.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

The usual dirty hippie brigade in action. Yawn.

[Marie2]

I’ve brought my kids to a rally or two but I hate to see a kid dressed in a death mask with murderous accusations in his hands paraded around. I think that’s abusive. Poor kid.

The b@st@rds went after surferboy.
