10 most influential Conservative AM radio commentators. (Vanity, Vanity all is Vanity!)

10 most influential Conservative AM radio commentators. (Vanity, Vanity all is Vanity!)

My dear friends,

Rush “the great” has been described as the scourge of the leftists, socialists, and other anti-American groups of thugs.

His most powerful technique is simply to point out the 5 biggest lies that the socialist, anti-American, Islamic terrorist axis of evil spread the day before.

Rush then informs the world, of those portions of the news stories, that the “people of the lie” censored or distorted while producing their propaganda the day before.

But reports now state that there are close to 700 AM radio commentators ( local, regional, and national) who describe themselves as conservative.

Out of interest

First: Who do you think are the 10 most influential syndicated Conservative American AM radio commentators.

Second: How do you personally rate their shows.

If you are a hate-filled leftist anti-American you can skip this survey. And please feel free to go back to listening to your favorite NPR show.

Love as always,

Octavian Pliny

1. Rush : Rating 12 (on a scale of 1-10) 2. Shawn Hannity: 7 3. Dr. Laura: 4 (Yes, I know that very little of her show is directly political but she has a huge audience) 4. Michael Savage: 10 5. Paul Harvey: 8 (Once again minimal political discussion, HUGE audience) 6. G Gordon Liddy 7 7. Cal Thomas 7 8. Oliver North 6 9. Michael Reagan 5. 10. Hue Hewitt 8

Honorable Mention:

In no particular order, Larry Elders, Drudge, Dennis Prager (9), Michael Medford and on and on and on.

Who are your personal favorites?

Extra point question: Do you think that the leftists and socialists have a snowball’s chance in hell, of breaking into the AM radio audience (unless their shows are federally subsidized, and maintained by tax free leftist foundations)?

Dittos to those you've chosen ... especially Michael Savage!

I also like Rusty Humphries (on Michael Savage's station in Phoenix), and Mike Gallagher (on Michael Medved's and Hugh Hewitt's station here.)

Hope this thread flourishes!

One of my favorites is Neil Boortz. He is rather humerous to listen to along with being a very sharp and rapid thinker. As for liberal inroads, dont count on it. The whole problem with the liberal agenda is it is based on lies and emotion as opposed to a detached logical view.

' Michael Medford '

I think you meant Michael Medved.

I think Michael is the most intelligent and articulate of them all. I'd easily rank him in the top 10.

The sub who is on Rush today, Roger Hedgecock, is supposed to have a radio show in the San Diego area. He is usually excellent when he sits in at EIB.

Hedgecock is great. I tund in his show from San Diego while driving home afternoons in LA. He has a great sense of humor as well.
