Larry Elder versus the Marx Brothers - Doug McIntyre and Al Rantel
various | November 11, 2008

Posted on 11/11/2008 11:43:37 AM PST by EveningStar

Larry Elder hosts a daily radio talk show on KABC in Los Angeles.

Last Wednesday, I was listening to his post election analysis. He was relating the previous Tuesday night's election coverage show which he co-hosted with KABC colleagues Doug McIntyre and Al Rantel.

During this show, Larry was astonished to learn that both McIntyre and Rantel had voted for Obama. Both McIntyre and Rantel, like Larry, are supposedly free market, small government types. He found their explanations for voting for Obama to be absurd and goofy. They were so nonsensical that Larry felt like he was surrounded by the Marx Brothers. Larry has now given them that nickname.

Doug McIntyre was listening to Larry's Wednesday show and wanted to correct Larry on one point. Larry put Doug on the show. As you can hear from this audio clip, Larry pretty much ripped Doug a new one. Blogger graemebird covered this quite well last Friday.

Larry continues to refer to Rantel and McIntyre as the Marx Brothers.

We have Laura Ingraham on 1260 AM.

Unfortunately, the signal barely makes it across Coyote Creek into North Orange County before sunrise, so I usually listen to Mike Gallagher on KRLA at 870 kilocycles.

Simulcast on AM 540. Don’t know what it is about her and Hewitt. Too many adds, then rush through the callers.

Rush is thee man.

Ever since, he’s been a lot less the conservative Constitution scholar and more the middle-of-the-road guy who claims both sides are equally messed up. He went anti-war around the same time.
____________________________

Doug M tries to be “fair” by by claiming that both dems and GOP commit same sins. I am sometimes irritated by the fact that Doug would not recognize that dems could be worse than GOP.

Doug calls Bush’s presidency a “failure”.

I have not been listening to Doug too frequently...

Rantel was REALLY in the tank for Obama. McIntyre less so ... in fact, McIntyre said he voted for Obama to “teach the Repubs a lesson”. I consider that kind of excuse ignorant.
__________________________

Rantal is probably suffering from “Bush derangement syndrome”. His regular guest is former congressman John Lebutiller. Congressman John once said that Bush still has a drinking problem...Elder got annoyed at Rantal because Rantal didn’t ask Congressman John to explain that comment.

Friction between Elder and Rantal is nothing new...

Larry’s a good guy. I’ve listened to his show for years and agree with most of what he says. He was, however, against Prop. 8, from, I’m guessing, a purely libertarian viewpoint. I interviewed Rantel a few years back, and at that time he was very conservative and backed President Bush; I’ve heard him lately and he sounds much different.

Good Morning:

Hello expatpat, you asked *what book*?

The write up on Obama and the Hypnosis, you sent the document link on you comment[it was pretty large].

I will not get a chance to read it too busy.

Is there any validity in it? See you at FR. Gemma[Uversabound]

It is a tough signal to catch. It's on a very narrow band on my old GE radio, between 2 Spanish-speaking stations and a Chinese one.

Awesome, Churchillspirit!! Did he read mine about Al having a man crush, lol??

Larry is a very “for real” kind of guy. He has worked side by side with us at Operation Gratitude many times, and always talks up the care packaging drives on his program.

No. He didn't mention the Marx Brothers by name. When he read my initial post, he paraphrased by saying "this Marx Brother", "one of the Marx Brothers", "the other Marx Brother" LOL!

I was very impressed with McIntyre's support for the Shaw family, after the murder of Jamiel, but you are correct - Doug has lost his mind.

Larry’s arguments with McIntyire is great radio. And Larry’s show is the only thing I’ve heard on KABC in months. He needs to bail KABC and go to KRLA and do their morning show 6am -9am.

I used Free Republic as an example, of course. Here is a more generic sample:

Larry got the double whammy. First, the ABC network stopped offering him for national syndication last year. Then KABC acquired the Dodger broadcasts, which means that Elderados can look forward to only 5 months per year of uninterrupted broadcasts.
