'Conservative' Michael Smerconish Rewarded for Supporting Obama
NewsBusters ^ | November 4, 2008 | P.J. Gladnick

It looks like "conservative" radio talk show host Michael Smerconish has finally reaped his reward for supporting Barack Obama. Brian Maloney of the Radio Equalizer beautifully skewers the deceitful Philadelphia radio talk show host for cashing in on his self-serving, career-enhancing, endorsement:

As Philly talker Michael Smerconish has revealed, it certainly pays to tow your liberal employer's party line.

Just two weeks after the formerly conservative talk host revealed he would back Barack Obama for president, CBS has rewarded him with the previously-elusive program expansion he'd been long been desperately seeking.

At the time, Smerconish actually had the nerve to predict his career would take a hit for making this supposedly courageous decision.

Instead, his dividend is a bit like your local grocery store's rewards card, only the payoff is 1000 times greater!

LOL. Indeed. Smerconish made a deal with Ol’ Scratch. You know how most of those deals end up.

Gaydar Alert! Shmuckonish is NO conservative. He is more likely a Log Cabin repub. If you get my drift.

At the end of the day, this is the only reward any real Conservative will ever get for compromising with Liberals.

He is now in the good company of loser liberal talk show hosts. Keep that resume fresh, Michael. Perhaps there is a future in teaching waiting for you.

It does not surprise me in the least that that twit endorsed the Zero.

A conservative supporting Obama is like a KKKer supporting civil rights.

Talk radio ping.

Hard to have a talk show with the fairness doc in play.

2 words/things you don’t want to be connected with him: Log, or Cabin.

Bad idea. Either one.

His hit will come when his listeners abandon the show.

Seems Michael may already be in the Civilian National Security Force. Make sure you block caller ID if you call into his show.

This is about America’s freedoms and it’s promises to you.
A ‘Conservative’ would value freedom and liberty above all else.
Seems Michael’s Freedom has a price.

I stopped listening to that dope 2 years ago when he first defended gay marriage.

Ironically, the very next time I heard him was the day he announced his support for Hussein. I thought "see ya!" and smiled to myself. I knew then he'd be replaced soon.

It didn't take Bill Bennett (990 here near Philly) long to start putting up ads proclaiming themselves the only real conservative talk radio station in the area.

Good riddance, freak!

I hope it destroys his career. I was in the Philly area after the 06 midterms and he said, to paraphrase, “I guess I was wrong about what people in the area believe. Looks like I'll have to change my views to match theirs.”

He's an opportunist. And don't buy or sell property through his realtor wife, either.

“And don’t buy or sell property through his realtor wife, either.”

His mother has her own real estate firm in Doylestown as well, bought the building it’s in from an old real estate broker in the center of town.

From a past post of mine:

His father was my guidance counselor in JR HS. Didn’t do much except hide in his office, we didn’t have kids who needed counseling very often.

He’s from the Bucks County lawyer magnet county seat (Doylestown area) yet he practiced law in Philly.

I’ve heard from very reliable sources when he did appear in the Bucks Co. courts he was a joke.
