12. I do too!
Just joking. I read a review of one of their albums once and it called them Rush wannabes.

19. no way
a five piece band being a wannabe of a three piece band? DT has their own style, and it's not Rush. I love Rush, too, though.

Hehe...we're hijacking this thread.

Ick. He's terrible. Him and his icky producer Michelle. They think they are God's gift to Phoenix.

Andrew Bobinski sounds cute though.

He gets on about femanazis and the pansy liberal nanny state. It really is nauseating.

6. Got a few in Pittsburgh - Fred Honzberger #1
Edited on Wed Sep-29-04 12:32 AM by rmpalmer
was even fat like Rush (Fred now had the gastric bypass). He couldn't even take a joke when a local theater group did a parody of him and liberal Lynn Cullen. He dissed Lynn as being petty and mean-spirited on comments after the show when she wasn't at all.

Also Jim Quinn (real conspiracy whackjob - heard he openly carries a .45). Mike Pintek and Jerry Bowyer (who tries to play the intelligent Rush).

Pittsburgh PA

At least we're blessed with a couple of liberals. Lynn Cullen daily, Mike Romigh evenings (when baseball isn't on) and Chris Moore weekends(again when baseball isn't on).

30. Quinn
Best way to get a rise out of him is to call his show and make a reference to his days as half of the "Quinn & Banana" morning show on the now defunct teeny-bopper B-94 station. Done this a couple of time: Call gets cut, dumped from air.... :-)

Hard to believe that Sludgecrotch sub-hosts for Limpballs, Ricky for Wiener. Good thing Air America is on the air!

14. Rick Roberts is probably worse than Hedgecock.
Channel 8 has him on around 6:15 AM and he screams and rants about how stupid dems/liberals are and how great a prez the chimp is. I leave the room when that segment comes on.

18. sounds ugly, never watch TV
this early. Now that AA is on if I listen to anything in the am it's Stacy Taylor, who always seemed to be more of a libertarian vs. repuke. Glad he made the change.

Can't wait to see the Arbitrons or whatever the measuring system is. Hopefully AA is kicking ass.

45. humpreys is a turd.......in good old daytona beach we have.....
...marc bernier, on news-talk 1150. who is for the most part pretty tame as AM right wing knuckle draggers go, but he can get on little diatribes that make me want to :puke:. we have a decent morning guy here, greg blasse, who hosts a show called the bottom line, where he takes impromptu straw polls. he is very much a right winger, but is pretty good about fairly debating the subjects.

bernier has been getting a lot of slams as of late for doing his show via cell phone from tennessee during all of the hurricanes...he doesnt take the criticism well either...whines when put in a corner about fleeing while all the other on air personalities were made to stay.

Edited on Wed Sep-29-04 01:22 AM by 0rganism
Surprisingly, someone even came out and syndicated the stupid fucker' s lame show. What a dillweed.

Portland, Oregon: a town that's 75% liberal, stuck with talk radio that's 90% batshit conservative.

26. Depends what you mean by "this part"
If you mean "Portland", then hell, none of the RW talkers belong here. The insane success of KPOJ (AAR in PDX) ought to speak pretty clearly to an underserved liberal market.

On the other hand, Lars could head a few miles down the road to Prineville or Powers and be among his political peers.

in Louisiana.

This guy's qualifications for being a political radio commentator are that he was a college football player and then ran a failed catering business.

He is stupid and uninformed beyond belief, and has an adoring audience of dullards.

Truly disgusting

31. Todd ScHnIT and Glenn BecKKK
Two trolls from Tampa who get syndicated to the RUSHitler stations down here. Todd Shit is on down in Miami and Glenn Peckerwood is on BOTH Miami AND West Palm. Both are total assholes. Todd Shit has gone out of his way to shit-talk Randi Rhodes. What an insecure turd. Hey Todd, I know you're jealous cuz you're only in outta Tampa, Miami, Atlanta and San Antonio (on that Crap Channel flagshit station that is run by M. Lowery herself and her iron fist) and you don't get shit for ratings in any of those markets, except for Tampa and ya still aren't all doing that good there! And this turd is on FM in Atlanta, and that station is (last I knew, this station since probably has done a format flip!) the LOWEST rated station in all of Atlanta, FM OR AM! Talk about WEAK. Meanwhile, Randi is on in NYC, San Fran, Philly, Miami, Portland, West Palm (of course!), Atlanta, San Diego, Phoenix, Sacramento, Denver and a helluvalot more and ACTUALLY GETS KICK ASS RATINGS! HA HA!

Lu Cifer, stiring up the schnitt as always...

The thing with this guy is that I have beaten this guy down so much when I call in that he must think of me as his daddy. This guy claims to be non partisan, but don't they all. He listens to Rush and repeats everything he Say's. But I embarrass this guy on a weekly basis live and on his own air waves.

34. In my area...
...NW Ohio, we are 'blessed' :puke: with 2 local Rush wannabes. The morning guy, Bob 'I'm a political commentator, dammit!' Frantz is a self-proclaimed 'independent thinker' who just happens to come down on the republican's side. I'll never forget when Saddam was 'found', he argued with our Congressperson, Marcy Kaptur. She called the show and stated that capturing Saddam was irrelevent (true, that..) he had an on-air hissy fit. :) The insurgency will end, blah, blah, blah...

He's followed by Beck and Rush. After them, we have Denny Schafer. He's a little more centrist, but still annoying. More local politics, and sports talk.

or should I say "moron show." I've locked horns on-air with them and their freep news director several times. Now I no longer listen unless I need to know about a school closing, and I won't patronize their advertisers.

What a pack of juvenile losers.

And they dominate talk radio. Becasue Journal Broadcasting won't allow anyone else one that even remotely disagrees with the GOP.

39. Gerry Callahan and John Dennis.
They do a drive time show on Boston sports radio, WEEI. When they talk sports, it's really quite good. But when they get into politics, I switch them off. This morning, they spent nearly an hour about John Kerry's tan: an issue of critical national importance.

Dennis is a psuedo-libertarian who occasionally dares to say a bad thing about Bush. Unfortunately, his hatred for Democrats overrides any clear-thinking evenhandedness he might be capable of.

Callahan is a Kool-Aid drinker and an angry, vindictive fuck. He regularly shouts down people who disagree with him, and every debate inevitably turns into a venomous tirade of ad hominem attacks against "traitorous liberals." He is incapable of debating the issues, and his ignorance is only matched by his rage.

Both of them nearly got fired last year for equating black children with gorillas on-the-air.

The funny thing is this: Boston is a huge sports town, and ratings for all of the programs on WEEI are through the roof, regardless of politics.

I bet if they compared the morning drive time ratings during times when Dennis and Callahan are on vacation vs. when they're in the studio, the numbers would be exactly the same.

The station would save a lot of money if they dumped these two assholes and put just about anybody else in their timeslot. WEEI has an impressive stable of knowledgable sportstalk hosts- and none of them come with the extremist baggage that these guys do.

And he has a column in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram (Startle Gram).

It's the same stuff that Rush sells, except Mark is a "libertarian". Before he can speak, he's got to spit Bush's dick out of his mouth.

Is Cheney Bush's dick?
