right-wing blogs we like

  • The Reagan Wing

Doug Parris runs this red-meat social conservative group site which bars no holds when it comes to saying who they are and who they're not; what they believe and what they don't; who their friends are and where the rest of the Republicans can go. Well-written, and flaming.

Rabbi daniel lapin in the san francisco bay guardian

Fundamentalist Mercer Island talk host, Rabbi Daniel Lapin, our proud Seattle connection to the Abramoff/Delay lobbying scandal is highlighted in the new issue of San Francisco's venerable Bay Guardian ("Rabid Rabbi") in a brilliant, yet dreary piece by BlatherWatch's Michael Hood.

(It's brilliant because we wrote it; dreary because the hard right is such a soul-sucking topic.)

It's introducing home-boy and "show rabbi of the Christian right" to the Bay Area, where he recently moved his talk franchise to San Francisco's mighty conservative talker, KSFO, on Sundays 1-4p. (

We thought they should know him as we all do.

Lapin folded up his Sunday talk show in Seattle in February. He'd been filling in for KSFO hosts and began broadcasting his own Bay Area show in April from a Seattle studio.

Always impressive writing, Michael.

What happened to Babble-on? Was it the reason typepad went down?

    • KIRO 710ESPN Seattle 710 KHz
      Games and sports-blabber

      Seattle's foremost public radio news and talk.
    • KVI am 570 KHz
      Visit the burnt-out husk of one of the seminal right-wing talkers in all the land. Here's where once trilled the reactionary tones of Rush Limbaugh, John Carlson, Kirby Wilbur, Mike Siegel, Peter Weissbach, Floyd Brown, Dinky Donkey, and Bryan Suits. Now it's Top 40 hits from the '60's & '70's aimed at that diminishing crowd who still remembers them and can still hear.
    • KTTH am 770 KHz
      Right wing home of local, and a whole bunch of syndicated righties such as Glennn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larsony, and for an hour a day: live & local David Boze.
    • KPTK am 1090 KHz
      Syndicated liberal talk. Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes, Norman Goldman fill in the large hole to the left on Northwest radio dial.
    • KLFE AM 1590 kHz
      Syndicated right-wing 2nd stringers like Mark Levin, Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Dennis Miller and Hugh Hewitt inhabit this timid-voiced neighbor honker for your radio enjoyment (unless you're behind something large like Costco).

      News, traffic, Ken Schram and John Carlson.
