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 inexhaustible Drudgery of NW conservative news
The Radio Equalizer prolific former Seattle KVI, KIRO talk host speaks authoritatively about radio.
OH yeah, sorry, forgot to keep these comments in the style the blog -- so very correct above to "... will come from to you from old, feeble-minded, beer-gutted whacko?"
He hates America and loves his paycheck. It's that simple. His followers have subscribed to anti-liberalism with the same devoutness the subscribe to religion despite the fact that their own economic philosophy has been proven extremely hazardous.
Conservatives are the new muslims wishing death to America.
What a fricken stupid statement that was. I'm no Rush fan but your idiotic conclusions spewed in that statement shows what a 'little' mind you have. You will forever be discounted by me...hope that makes your day.
Your reactionary, redneck, knuckle-dragging comments are offensive and rude. I have never wished death on America but to suggest that, even jokingly, betrays your cultural ignorance and rightist extremism.
If President Obama were to re-educate thuggish Americans like you, I would vote to have you be one of the first sent to a training and awareness camp. (And, by the way, cute way to diminish my culture by using a lowercase "M" - real class act you are, moron.)
Saxitoxin; I wouldn’t bet on that. Obama made a mint during his election. So my presumption is this will be a message played sometime in the future. But my guess is the ad was to gather e-mail addresses. I presume when you try to send your comment, that is what the ad is asking for, it will request your e-mail. This will be used later for soliciting.
Mykelbe; What are you talking about??? Bush’s’ policies did fail.
"Nobody wanted Bush to fail on ridding the world of terrorism. Too bad he went to Iraq instead."
The truth is; after the war in Iraq began, the far left/progressives started wanting him to fail - for selfish political advantage over someone they already hated for the way he won in 2000.
"Conservatives are the new muslims wishing death to America."
To put it nicely, a totally irresponsible statement that sounds like a 4-year old throwing a tantrum.
Someone please explain how Obama can fail while somehow leaving the well being of America perfectly intact.
This notion that libs wanted Bush to fail is idiotic. We disagreed with his policies because it was and is our belief that they ultimately lead to failure, and fail he most certainly did. We never wished that he fail for the sake of sabotaging conservative ideology.
You self described "ditto heads" have an allergic reaction to anything liberal. If Rush by chance says something you disagree with you will give it a second thought and then come around to seeing things his way within a few short minutes. If Rush's audience was known for being a lively controversial bunch the term dittohead wouldn't exist as we know it.
"When you want the leader of the free world to fail, you are choosing failure for yourself."
Now I know why you voted for Obama Joanie. When one takes pride in comparing the leader of the free world to Hitler by refering to him as Bushler, they want that man to fail. Doncha think!!!
And I just sent another nice message urging Rush to keep doing what he does best. Nothing better than using the Libs own site to make them look foolish. Imagine Rush getting letters from them praising him, he'll have a field day.
I notice this blog (& it's posters) have been strangely silent on the Illinois Governor fiasco...whereas it's being discussed plenty on talk radio. What gives?
KIROFM 97.3 Multi-format: news and nearly all local talk. This is where classic KIRO AM news talk radio went... hopefully, not to die. The home of Dave Ross & Luke Burbank, Dori Monson, Ron & Don, Frank Shiers, Bill Radke, Linda Thomas, Tony Miner and George Noory.
KUOW FM 94.9 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).
KOMOAM News, traffic, Ken Schram and John Carlson.
With all of America unempoyed and the world on the brink of catastorphe (see Sunday Herald: Britain on verge of collapse / UK faces bankruptcy and national debt default), I wonder where all those "big bucks" will come from?

I can't wait to see how much money the Democrats can glean from Rush. Can they make him into money? I doubt it.

As if you weren't rooting for President George W. Bush's policies to fail? Let's be honest here.

Isn't it something that he can outright claim he wants the US of A to fail? And people still make excuses for him? And listen to him?
