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.

Dorothy Parvaz deported to iran

201151114514413734_16

Al-Jazeera says it "has been given information that journalist Dorothy Parvaz has been deported from Syria to Iran."

Seems Parvaz tried to enter Syria on a expired Iranian passport. Syria has chosen, apparently, to throw her out of the Syrian frying pan into the Iranian lion's den.

Why you taking it personally? Maybe they're thumbing in the fact of Canada?

If you have a passport (i doubt it) it is clearly stated ....to permit the citizen to pass without delay or hindrance....


Our government is impotent in our foreign relations and continues to allow our citizens to be abused overseas.

She's a Canadian citizen. Didn't you know?

her fiance on KOMO today said she had Iranian citizenship too.


"An American citizen born in Iran, she holds multiple passports: Iranian, Canadian, and United States"

The funniest thing about this story is that when she was "detained" by the Iranians, one of the officials noted that she worked for the The Seattle Intelligencer newpaper. Since "Intelligence" was in the word "Intelligencer," it MUST have been a front for the CIA. No joke. Can't make this stuff up.

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

      News, traffic, Ken Schram and John Carlson.
    • Washington State Radio Stations
      Comprehensive list of every danged AM & FM station on the dial.
