Why I listen to Conservative Talk Radio

[Chris]

Perhaps the most striking recent example of voter suppression came in the 2000 presidential election, where a slim margin of 537 votes in Florida gave George W. Bush the votes in the electoral college that he needed to claim victory over Al Gore. (Nationwide, Gore won the popular vote by 543,614 votes.)

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (USCCR), produced a report in June 2001 titled "Voting Irregularities in Florida During the 2000 Presidential Election." The report concluded, "Despite the closeness of the election, it was widespread voter disenfranchisement, not the dead-heat contest, that was the extraordinary feature in the Florida election. The disenfranchisement was not isolated or episodic." The USCCR found that African-American voters were at least ten times more likely to have their ballots rejected than other voters and that 83 of the 100 precincts with the most disqualified ballots had black majorities.

I could provide a really good rebuttal to Chris's post, but I think I'll pass. I'm sure many of you have already posted the real skinny on all that.

I would rather give my reasons for listening to conservative talk radio. They are:

1. Conservative talk radio is usually featured on the news stations that I most depend on for current news. That is because those stations are usually No. 1 in their markets and it is the popularity of talk radio that made most of them No. 1.

2. Conservative talk radio, whether or not I agree with it, is almost always upbeat and interesting. Compare that to most liberal talk radio which is dreary and whiny and repetitious and devoid of much of anything useful to know. From conservative talk radio, I almost always get one idea, concept, stated fact, or name to research further every time I listen.

3. Most conservative talk radio hosts are so well prepared for their program that even if they are running in the back ground or you only have time/opportunity to listen for a very few minutes, you will almost always learn something in whatever brief span that is.

4. You cannot get any balanced in depth commentary from any of the alphabet networks or cable channels or print media. Admittedly, you might not get the whole perspective from conservative talk radio either, but if you balance the other stuff with the research done by the radio talk show hosts, you will have a fighting chance to obtain all of the best information available out there at the time.

I listen to it when I feel like hearing commentary that makes me think.

 

[Fatality]

i thought people listened to conservative talk radio beacuse they were incapable of independent thought and felt it easier to have their opinions given to them

no, thats the dhimicratic party. talk radio listeners are something different, they listen because they recognize their own "voice" on the radio.

I don't listen to talk radio, but apparently I "think just like them. It happens to be called. THINKING. Not "feeling" like the dhumies on the left, who have to have everything from their mortgage to their healthcare and thoughts handed to them by government. The left is indoctrinated.They eat it like they are starved for attention or something.

Bashing Christianity being the lefts favorite past time and embracing a political ideology that is inline with facists around the world

Yeah that is the way to go lefties

Just remember their is nothing in life that is free. we all will pay because of your feelings.

Did your English teacher tell you that?

Well, Ozz, I see the problem. So let's allow no one to make more than $250,000, and spread the rest of the extra money down the line. Then we could make the tax system so that it gets the same amount, but taxes everyone pretty much the same.

This is why Unions came to be. White Collar kept making more and more and labor's wages stayed the same. We saw that they weren't sharing the profits with labor. So we organized and demanded that if a CEO is going to make a fortune, then the labor that made his company successful were going to benefit too. If that is wrong, I don't want to be right.

If he gets $20 million a year, we should get $35 hr. That isn't really communism, is it?

No one said NO ONE CAN MAKE MORE THAN $250K. How about no one SHOULD make more than $20 million a year? Is that fine for you?

How Rich is Too Rich For Democracy?

you see folks its like this when i go to sleep at night i put on wabc radio to listen to the end of curtis sliwa's show and leave coast to coast on through the night and wake up to imus in the morning, during this time period wabc plays snippets from rush's show and they pretty much all wind up blaming whatever is troubling rush at the time on those naughty liberals. i think maybe it was a liberal drug dealer that got him hooked on drugs so he carries a vendetta against them.

 

[Mr.Fitnah]

Conservative talk radio is not a fact free zone
Issues are discussed, Bill #numbers and supporters are name and arguments how laws infringe on personal liberty and restrictions on business are considered.
The side of the isle are of little consequence, both sides get their ox gored if tyhey infringe on personal liberty for the betterment of the collective.

It's hypocritical.

Oxy Rush and his preaching against drugs is like being a womanizer and then going as a guest speaker to a men's ministry group that helps men with sexual sins and tells them about the evils of fornication and lust (then he goes and beds a woman later).

Its conservative talk radio and the rest of the new media that has stopped the socialized health care crap....
