Then, when her show's over, I turn to a station with good reception for Rush's show. I prefer Rush to O'Reilly which is the show following Laura Ingraham.<BR/>then I go home for lunch and miss the final 2 hours of Rush's show. Then it's Glenn Beck in a time delay broadcast. By this time I am heading into another state and his signal fades before his show is over, so I change to another station and hear the final 30 minutes of Hannity. Then, I change again for the first of Hannity on another time delay. Then, on the last 30 munites of my day, I listen to a replay of the morning Laura Ingraham show on WABC out of New York, which I cannot get until after 8:30 PM. And then I am home for the day.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633208787250567256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1121636695869710872005-07-17T17:44:00.000-04:002005-07-17T17:44:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Sassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460285869232760394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1121630773455798322005-07-17T16:06:00.000-04:002005-07-17T16:06:00.000-04:00By the way, Mark, i just got called a "Nazi" on my...By the way, Mark, i just got called a "Nazi" on my comments page.

He's like the knee-jerk righty Reagan-lovin' frat boys that helped cement my Demness back in the '80s. But, I'd stop if I saw Hannity on the side of the road, on fire, I'd stop and pee on him. Being a punk doesn't make him mean or evil -- just a punk. <BR/><BR/>Bill O'Reilly? I wouldn't pee on him if he was on fire.Erudite Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830721195868387265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1121613630340928972005-07-17T11:20:00.000-04:002005-07-17T11:20:00.000-04:00Hmm....I listen to my fair dose of talk radio also...Hmm....I listen to my fair dose of talk radio also. Strangely enough, I have NEVER listened to Rush. I mostly listen to one station, and their programming is: Laura Ingraham, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved, and Hugh Hewitt. They have others, but these are the people I listen to from morning to dusk. Michael Savage comes on after Hugh Hewitt, but he's so far out in right field, 90% of the time I can't stand the guy (Now there's a conservative talk radio host who I think hates liberals and think of them as disease...even has a book called "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder"). Sometimes I'll flip stations if my favorite host has a topic I have no interest in, or is a repeat, and listen a little to Hannity, O'Reilly, or whoever else. I've also listened to Air America (which I don't think should be listened to as representative of mainstream Democrats). <BR/><BR/>I don't know Mark...I get a different impression of Laura Ingraham when I listen to her show. I don't think she hates liberals or think of them as evil. I'm not sure if the others do, either. I'm actually inclined to believe that they would agree with your own assessment of the differences between conservatives and liberals. Hannity never seems capable of conceding points when I watch him on FOX. He seems very narrow-minded, although I agree with him on a number of points. It's just that he can be rude to his guests and doesn't always acknowledge a good point being hurled at him from the other side of the net. Hugh Hewitt is one of my favorites, in that he just seems so on top of current events. When I listened to him throughout last year, he's treatment of liberals comes off more like a good-natured football game, ribbing the other side for going crazy over George W. Bush and the "Republican noise machine". <BR/><BR/>Medved and Prager themselves are reformed liberals. I believe Medved's book Right Turns, has chapters devoted to how he went from being liberal to conservative.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that's my take.The WordSmith from Nantuckethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15937868119894243815noreply@blogger.com
