You look @ his bio & his acting gigs have included push-the-envelope shows like NYPD Blue, Beverly Hills 90210, and liberal venues like HBO (HBO movie).
Doyle's no true "conservative" when he has helped push the envelopes of these media outlets.
Hmm. He did have a bit role in one episode of NYPD Blue, and, I think, a single episode of Beverly Hills 90210. As an actor, his claim to fame would be the lead role of Garibaldi in the five-year run of Babylon 5. When that series ended, he ran for Congress as the Republican nominee in Los Angeles/Ventura Counties. After losing to the Democrat, he says he was pretty much blackballed in Hollywood, since he was outed as a Republican. That’s when he turned to talk radio, where he’s been very successful.
Yes, exactly as you and I agree, he’s NOT a true conservative, not by a long shot. No conservative would call pro-lifers “anti-abortion freaks”, or spend a lot of his air time praising Romney and mocking Governor Palin with all the talking points and vitriol of, say, Bill Maher.
I posted about it because he has kept his true liberal nature under pretty tight wraps as he was building his radio career, claiming to be a conservative, talking the conservative talk. It concerns me that he’s now got a very big microphone on over 200 stations, 17 of them in the top 20 metro areas. In my area, he’s sandwiched right between Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin. He’s managed to inflitrate the conservative talk radio universe, and now he’s peeling off the veneer of his fake conservatism. So now we have the equivalent of Air America right in the thick of things, only with a MUCH larger audience than Air America ever managed. He’s become fairly popular, and he does have influence. Not everyone is as informed or discerning as you or I or others who read Freerepublic. He’s in a significant position to mislead the less informed.
This guy, promoting Romney on a daily basis, bashing Gov Palin on a daily basis, and heaping offensive insults and namecalling upon social conservatives is bad news. If this worries anyone else, as it does me, email or call your local broadcast program director and complain.
