Listen to Tammy Bruce Show live over the web.
I will not listen to a Lesbian lecture me on family values and what is right and what is wrong.
Excuse me, but who is Tammy Bruce?
what has she done to distinguish herself in life?
What if she happens to agree with you?
Your comments show you to be extremely foolish. Where do you get the "lecture" idea? Have you listened to her show and heard her "lecture". She strikes me as one of the most intelligent radio hosts, period. Maybe that's what bothers you.
I'm not impressed.
Tammy is one of the most popular C-O-N-V-S-E-R-V-A-T-I-V-E talk show radio personalities in the country and a regualr FOX News contributor. If you can get over the fact that she's happens to be gay, you'll find that she is a strong defender of conservative values.
I heard her yesterday say that she is a conservative democrat lesiban.
Tammy Bruce is an openly gay, pro-choice, gun owning, pro-death penalty, voted-for-President Reagan progressive feminist. She was drawn into feminist activism in the late 1980's to contribute to the ongoing effort to ensure safe and legal abortion for all women. Just two years after joining the National Organization for Women, and with a brand of feminism that places her somewhere between Donna Reed and Thelma and Louise, Ms. Bruce was elected president of the Los Angeles chapter of NOW at the age of 27. The youngest ever to achieve that position, she doubled the chapter's membership from 2,000 to 4,000 within a year with issue campaigns that introduced a fresh view of feminist activism. In her seven years as president (1990-1996, the longest continuous tenure in the chapter's 30 year history) she mobilized activists locally and nationally on a whole range of issues, including women's image in media, child care, health care, violence against women, economics, and domestic violence. Ms. Bruce also served two years as a member of the National NOW board of directors.
An important contributor to the author's position on the relevance of free speech comes from her experience as a radio talk show host in Los Angeles. In fact, with the "Tammy Bruce Show" on KFI-AM 640, she was the first openly gay women in the country to host a show on mainstream talk radio. Her editorials and commentaries on significant social issues have been published nationally and internationally in a wide variety of magazines, newspapers, and on television and radio programming.
Ms. Bruce's first book, The New Thought Police, was published by Forum, an imprint of Crown/Random House, in October 2001. An analysis of freedom of expression and the culture wars, it explores the importance of freedom of expression and personal liberty and how that liberty is under attack by the dangerous rise of Left-wing McCarthyism. She is currently writing "The Death of Right and Wrong: How the Left's Moral Vacuum Corrupts Our Culture and Threatens Our Liberty," also for Forum (April 2003)
A native of Los Angeles, the 39-year-old writer and political commentator notes that her interest in politics and individual liberty was sparked during her childhood in part because of the work of authors Ray Bradbury and George Orwell, both of whom remain her favorite writers. Ms. Bruce lives in Los Angeles with her foundling cat, Sadie.
Tammy Bruce is a conservative talk show hostess now and is pleasant and polite to callers. Her intelligent conservatism is refreshing especially when compared to the feminist and extremely liberal attorney, Gloria Allred.
During the few shows I've heard, Tammy Bruce did not discuss lesbian/ homosexual topics or culture nor did I hear her use profane language when discussing current topics. However, she does not hide the fact that she is a lesbian. She did speak in past tense about her membership in NOW.
I have in the past and sometimes still have similar negative feelings as Race Bannon about listening to Tammy Bruce. This is despite my agreeing with some of Ms. Bruce's viewpoints. It's a learning process, sometimes very slow and sometimes I don't feel like listening to her at all.
TB is a strong defender of certain, current, conservative values. Like Camile Paglia, she is NO conservative; endorsing the war on Islamoterror or decrying Leftist excess is not quite the same thing as accepting a solid, constitutional outlook.
If you have news of the contrary, I'd love to read about it.
I've got better things to do with my time than debug crippled websites.
Tammy's ok, though.
Actually, she has seen the errors in her ways and come over to the right side. She may still have some distance to go but, give her a chance!

Bruce currently recognizes the ascendancy of personal liberty, but firmly within the context of a post-modern feminist perspective. I accept her as an ally-without-portfolio, but I believe that our constitutional rights are unalienable rights for all - including the unborn. Once the idea is accepted that the constitution grants abortion rights organically, there is NO distortion closed to revisionists.
