Just tell me why
DUers don't support the Guy James Show.

Every day that I log on, I read a thread whining, pissing and moaning about something that drug addicted Conservative Freakjob Rush said.

Who cares??

Do you really care what Rush says?

Support Guy.

Listen to his show.

Call in.

Make Liberal Talk radio a reality, instead of just talking about it.

He supports DU.

Support him.

16. No it's actually a farily common phenomenon in straight men
At least I just confirmed that you have married a straight man, eh? ;-)

9. Just did the "Bronze" membership
perhaps if things "look up" I can trade up to some sort of more precious metal!

Oh, and I wouldn't listen to "Rush" if my head was on fire and he had the instructions for putting it out.

10. Who? Why should I care?
I've never even heard the guy's name before. I would love liberal radio to become a reality, but I (and, I suspect, most of DU) has no idea who this guy is or what eh stands for.

I shoulf also mention that I live in a place that doesn't get Mike Malloy, either, but from what I hear from DUers, he's not a person I would listen to anyway...

12. "never even heard the guy's name before"

I have to assume you're not on DU on Saturdays. there is always an active thread during the broadcast and this goes back 15 months now. and there's always a 'pre-show' thread with info about that week's guest, etc. and many of the regular callers are DU regs as well.

as for where he stands, check out the website:

www.theguyjamesshow.com

or, listen to some past shows. he's had Palast, Ritter, Bev Harris and many many more a-list guests. archived here:

14. Hey, Jeff!
Ummmm I am too drunk to be on DU right now...if I send you my password, could you post under my name so I will not get banned, and people won't think Michael married a snot?

Thanks!

Steph

18. I DO remember that far back!
It's rare that I remember what happened before yesterday, but that could be attributed to the massive short-term memory loss (no fault of my own, I might add). What was that, last month? And to be perfectly frank, I rarely remember that much :-(

I mostly posted in a rather argumentory way because I am partly an asshole, and partly because IT DRIVES ME CRAZY WHEN PEOPLE POST, TELLING ME WHAT TO DO, WITHOUT TELLING ME WHY. Why should I listen to the Guy James Show?

Thtwudbeme, however, told...me...very...slowly. Mike Malloy is apparently very liberal, too, but many of the people on DU relate him to me as being very anti-Southern, which makes him more ignorant than progressive in my book.

19. Anti Southern?
Malloy is in Atlanta.

I am in NC; my family has been here for 6 or 7 generations.

I always liked you; please listen to Guy on Saturday, and send in a donation; it might be too late.

Sad, but true.

21. AS GOD IS MY WITNESS...
...I will listen to Guy between three and six tomorrow.

All I know of him is what others on DU have said about him -- and most of what I've heard about him has been that he's anti-South and anti-Southerner.

I also heard that it is DEFINITELY too late to help him out, but that he stands an excellent chance of getting on Al Franken's new stations.

*sigh* I won't hear any liberal radio unless it's on the Internet, since I live in one of those "all-radio-is-shitty" type of places.

23. As God as my witness, I will never buy Beam again!
It's Jack for me from now on!

If Guy were a Southern Basher, I would take SERIOUS issue to him....I LOVE the South...I grew up here, and moved back on purpose.

Choke me with a magnolia dipped in vinegar if you don't like what you hear.

AND call IN.

Call him and Michael....they are a BLAST to talk to!

26. What the hell is a "magnolia dipped in vinegar?"
Mine is an East Texas twang, and not a Southern drawl. This ("magnolia dipped in vinegar") is a colloquialism I am unfamiliar with...

BTW, I am listening to Malloy now (or at least I THINK it's Malloy).

And ho does everyone on DU seem to know what I'm drinking? :evilgrin: And how do you get eight-hundred some-odd posts in a couple of months, when I've gotten 1300 or so since The Beginning of Democraticunderground.com?

27. Oh dear
Texas BBQ. You folks don't know how to use vinegar.

OK, sorry, we had a communication problem here caused by Texans complete lack of knowledge of decent barbeque.

Mother of God.

How do we know what you are drinking?

"We" (DUers) don't. Southerners know that you are hitting the bourbon. Please. It's Thursday night. What else would you be drinking?

Seriously, listen on Saturday...and call in! It doesn't matter if you are eating crappy BBQ or not! Guy and Michael don't care! They won't even know if you don't tell them!

Stephanie

28. If I wasn't laughing so hard right now...
I would be kicking your ass!

***GASP!!!***

No mortal being could possibly understand how I feel about genuine East Texas Barbecue; my love for barbecue is SHAKESPEREAN in its depth. It's tangy and spicy and red and with bits of spices visible floating around -- never sweet, and never with honey. And REAL Texans know that the greatest place for barbecue just outside of Ennis that serves brisquit perfectly. It is no exaggeration to say that I once drove four-thousand miles round-trip looking for the perfect Texas barbecue.

Of COURSE I'm drinking bourbon; beer is only for weekdays. Today is Thursday, after all.

29. You are going to have to get in line to kick my ass
Edited on Fri Feb-20-04 01:06 AM by Misinformed01
There is a girl or guy in the Lounge drinking Wild Turkey chilled with Massey Ferguson 2" steel balls from his/her freezer....OK, I accused him/her of using BenWa balls...

Hey. Excuse the hell out of me....my relatives drive John Deere's, OK?

I think SKINNER personally deleted my post in the ATA forum. Yeah, he let ONE stand...the other one was more personal....damn, thought he would think it was funny.

It's almost One AM here...I have time for one more pour before bed.

Honest to God, you need some decent BBQ. It would seriously help your disposition.

Stephanie

On edit: Check this post out (it's a reply to me, btw...I had to lie down with a damp cloth for a few minutes after reading this)

"My steel balls are from a Massy Ferguson rear end and they are 2" big. I boiled out the grease with olive oil and keep them in the freezer. BenWa my ass."

Otherwise, listen on your computer. I know you have speakers because I am the ONLY DUer without them.

25. The post war dream
Tell me true tell me why was Jesus crucified
is it for this that daddy died?
was it for you? was it me?
did I watch too much t.v.?
Is that a hint of accusation in your eyes?
if it wasn't for the nips
being so good at building ships
the yards would still be open on the clyde
and it can't be much fun for them
beneath the rising sun
with all their kids committing suicide
what have we done maggie what have we done
what have we done to England
should we shout should we scream
"what happened to the post war dream?"
oh Maggie Maggie what have we done?

30. Did'nt know about him.
Until now.

Seems I can get him on the web..I have been out of the country for over a year, so this is news to me. The same local talk shows are running the right wingnut programs everyday. It is so lame. We need a "heavyweight" to contend with the wingnuts nationally.
