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.

Mike Malloy suspends tonight's show

From his website: MikeMalloy

"I will not be on the air tonight. I can't do it. I cannot sit behind a microphone and talk about yet another incomprehensible act of gun violence - this time against the complete innocence and vulnerability of children.

There are no words that can be said to provide any sort of comfort to the parents, grandparents, sisters and brothers of the children murdered in the sanctuary of a school classroom. The pain they will feel is beyond description - there is no way to express this sort of horror.

As for me . . . I am choking on the tears and anguish that other parents - those whose children were not murdered this bright Winter's day - must be feeling.

So . . .

The "best of" program Kathy has for tonight dealt with a different shooting, not quite one year ago. I will try to be back on the air Monday.

Today's mass murder of children and their adult caretakers can be - and should be - seen as the NRA's holiday gift to America. How else to comprehend any of this?"

- Mike

Not just the NRA's gift to America. It is a gift from the Koch Brothers, the British petroleums, the Scott Walkers, the Rick Snyders, the Rick Scotts, the Mitt Romneys and Rush Limbaughs and Sean Hannities and the Sheldon Adelsons and the Paul "Ayn Rand" ryans of the world. I will even include the Bill Gates and the Nick Hanauers in that group who want to destroy the last of our public institutions: public education. All the greedy, polarizing haters of our Great Society and FDR's New Deal programs which kept us healthy and happy for so many, many progressive years.

Take a look at the Heritage Foundation and the money they pay to Hannity and Limbaugh for the hate talk.

Open your eyes and help us get our country back. End the greed. Just end it.

IQ Tests Are Racist

No doubt his tens of listeners were devastated to hear the news. Is that loser still begging his few listeners for money?

Hate talk is spelled M-A-L-L-O-Y. I am no Limbaugh or Hannity fan. T-S's type of show.

It might interest you to know that Jamie Foxx has quasi-blasphemously admitted that violence in Hollywood movies contributes to the occurrence of incidents like at the Clackamas Town Center Mall and in Connecticut in the past week. Not exactly a revelation, except that Foxx is someone who participates in the shoot-em up and gratuitous violence manufactured from Hollywood.

Also, states have lost control of the mentally ill, which could prevent a number of these evil killings of children (often in gun-free zones) as the last two assailants would have been classified as mentally ill. This disturbing trend started back over 30 years ago, when Gov. Reagan (at the time) signed legislation that shut down mental institutions in California.

"...as the last two assailants would have been classified as mentally ill."

What diagnoses validate your "mentally ill" claim, KS?

    • 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).
