I think Tom Sullivan was just talking about the dominance of Conservative politics on the radio just a week ago or so. The Left seems to dominate TV and films. But he says there have been a few attempts at putting liberal talk show hosts on the radio, but most of them have failed. Radio just isn't their market. Of course the Libs own all the public/college radio. But that's just how it is. Seems like all the really Left leaning radio stations are government and donor supported, because they just don't get enough listeners to be self-sufficient.

And by the way, they are all anti-American Commies! I came across these people just days after 9-11. Even before we knew for sure who attacked us, they were spreading around their Zmag.org talking points, which all boiled down to: "We know we were attacked because of America's evil "foreign polices" (ie. we support Israel's right to live) and because our attackers hate Capitalism." Note: at that point we had not even verified that Bin Laden was responsible at this point. It doesn't make any sense that these people get all up in arms when you call them anti-Ameircan. Our freedoms are very much a part of our Capitalist system. If you don't like Capitalism, and if you sympathize with Muslim complaints (and ignore their quest of Religious world domination), then you ARE anti-American.

Haven't seen any updates, Mud. Will ping you with news.

The whiners on the left have been at this for years and the corporations have caved and caved. Just look at what the envirals have poor Long John Silvers doing. (^;

"Radio just isn't their market."

Talk Radio certainly doesn't work fer the Left 'cuz folks who can think will listen to their Leftist NONSENSE and call to make a fool of the host, which ain't hard to do to anyone who supports an ever-expanding Federal Leviathan!! It's hard enuff to suffer through a DOLT like Alan Colmes irrational Barbra Streisand, and that shows tolerable simply becuz Hannity continually whups Colmes' butt on EVERYTHING!!

People may wish to go here, and then post responses to said post here. It's pretty amusing, full of the usual ultra-left claptrap: Rush's show is dying and has been for years, Radio Shack actually cancelled even though they never advertised in the first place, etc etc.

These people are simply not an obstacle to us. They sit and stew in their own smugness, while we roll right over them.

"He just went too far," said Stinson. "Don't call me anti-American."

You are anti-American. Otherwise you'd be critical of Iraq's actions that are what have caused us to be on the brink of war. Instead you attack the country and our president.

thanks for the heads-up RC.

liberals, communists, marxists, parasites, whatever.

radio shack is an interesting case... they (being tandy leather) were firebombed by alfholes all across the nation... can't find a local tandy leather shop round here nomore. hmmm. reckon they're gunshy bout raising much attention anymore. may have been just bidness... or maybe, like blockbuster video, they just need a good, ole fashoned financial smack upside the head. dunno. don't care - won't miss em.

blockbuster put up "no guns" signs here in utah. we organized a drive to chop up yer card and mail it to miami... whoa doggies, and about face. the signs disappeared in no time. (hey, is it okay to bring my gun in here now ?!!)

now... how many folk of our political ilk have the tech bent that rat shack markets to? i'd venture by internet useage and such, they've shot themselves in the butt by doing this, just in the respect they won't reach the moderate to right side of the world that listens to Rush, has cash money, and buys expensive toys. otoh, i wouldn't give a rat's shack if they vanished, and i'm an in the wool geek at heart.

Mega Bravo Zulu Ditto's to you, bb69!

This dude Stinson and his ilk enjoy the cover of being a vet. IMHO, showing up is one thing, staying around is another.

Sort'a rings to what a much smarter man than I said:

"...If you don't stand for something..you'll fall for anything..."

I recall Rush saying, several yrs. ago, that if he was pushed off the air, he would go offshore and start a 'pirate' station.

Here's Mine:

Thanks for dropping your advertising from the Rush Limbaugh Show. You have ensured that I, a 41 year old Realtor in the height of my earning years, will NEVER BUY ANOTHER Radio Shack product again. Good Luck with socialism, by the way, SOCIALISM ALWAYS FAILS.
