right-wing blogs we like

  • The Reagan Wing
    Hearin lies the real heart of Washington State Republicans. 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.
  • Orbusmax

Great that KIRO has a new leader. Now it should get interesting to see what happens around there. Will there be changes to the right? And if so how far. Are we in for a spot lite approach on Mitt Romney as we head into the meat of the battle for King (I hope Queen) of the country. Hope they don't touch either Dave Ross and/or Dory Monson and their time slots; otherwise 'mow at will'.

"A kick downstairs"???

Rexburg, Boise, Killeen, Salt Lake City...and now Seattle. This guys leapfrogged into the jackpot.

Check out the KSL lineup. Mostly news and syndicated talk. All crap all weekend.

They have Sean Hannity every day at 1. So is this the end of Dori?

Also, google "Rod Arquette and Katrina". Not sure if the story is true, but it looks like the Mormons don't cotton to the blacks and jews so much.

Is he related to Rosanna, Patricia, et al?

Duffman

"This is either a kick down the stairs for him or they consider saving KIRO a top priority."

May be I don't understand the radio market, but why would it be necessary to 'save KIRO' when they apparently are ranked 3rd in the local market at 4.3 (Wi'07, P-2)

There was a period of time where blacks were not welcome in the Mormon church, but I think that has changed now.

Duffman

"There was a period of time where blacks were not welcome in the Mormon church, but I think that has changed now."

Wasn't that only in the priesthood?

sparky

not sure, but I think it included general membership.

Duffman

You may be right; just seems like I read somewhere that the priest hood started allowing in mid to late 70's?...I'm not sure either.

John

It's funny that Mormons preach that their religion is the only "pure religion" yet all negative references to blacks were mysteriously changed in the Book of Mormon in 1978. It's funny to watch them squirm and make excuses like it was a "printing error" when you bring it up. It's also fun to research the statements made by Presidents of the LDS church. As prophets who reportedly speak directly to God, they shouldn't make any mistakes. Cults, gotta love them.

mormon.org Look there for all your questions about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

I hardly ever leave messages, nor read these comments, but it is funny how everyone is an expert on mormonism. The Book of Mormon doesn't address African Americans since they didn't live in the land of the book, so how could there be retroactive changes done when none would be needed. There would be no "printing errors" as one person claimed, since it doesn't exist as a conflict. I challenge you to figure out where you are wrong, can you do it?

Doffman, how about finding out things for yourself rather than parroting nonsense from the uninformed.

Oops, I realized Duffman wasn't the one saying it, was John.

Anyway, congrats to his moving up in the radio business.
