Republicans laughed, mocked & predicted it wouldn't work-Air America Radio
Edited on Thu Mar-31-05 01:46 PM by LaPera

turns one year old today.:wow:

Cheers to Air America Radio (AAR) on their first anniversary!!! :yourock::party::smoke::beer::bounce:

AAR is kicking ass and doing far better than anyone could of imagined ... AAR continues to grow faster than any network in the history of radio, and has become a national powerhouse...the right-wing is now beginning to take very public swipes at AAR.

:kick:Are they scared?

Support liberal, progressive radio. www.airamericaradio.com :loveya::toast:

Watch the HBO special about Air America Radio tonight at 8:00 PM

4. AAR I LOVE YOU!
My doctor and I both thank you for helping me maintain my blood pressure. Now I don't have to listen to the local wingnuts Howie Carr and Jay Severin or any of the other national blowhards!

I remember all those that mocked AAR and said it would be dead in a year.

Just like I remember all those who mocked Howard Dean as DNC Chair and promised that it would mean the end of the Democratic Party.

8. Of course they can.
I listen to it all the time on my Mac, both streaming and via the archives at airamericaplace.com and whiterosesociety.org


Of course we have an AAR station here in SF, but I like listening to Malloy during work, so I play the archives. Franken doesn't do much for me. I like Randi, but only in the car. I'm weird, I know.

9. How do you do it? I looked up RealPlayer for him and it says it is not
mac compatible. (Dad doesn't want to get the downloads from WRS... too big a file size.)

42. He won't likely go for XM or Sirius. He held out for years against DISH.
He is a die-hard when it comes to public ownership of the airwaves and is appalled at how companies are making money hand over fist by selling what he feels is a public commodity.

Download good shows from AirAmericaPlace.com and burn them to CDs and loan them out to liberals.

We should all promote AAR!

22. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AAR!!!!!!
Woot!

:party: :yourock: :beer: :beer:

I tuned into AAR when 92.1 The Mic came on in Madison as a disillusioned dittohead fed up with the increasingly obvious level of bovine excreta...wandering cautiously into the Dem tent...and now look where it got me. :D

Here's to many more years of AAR! Nothin' like a little Sedition in the morning to go with my coffee... ;)

25. Today...I won a 100$ steak dinner.
I bet my conservative Father that they'd make it. He had the same talking point they all had last year; "They're in money troubles. They're going to fold any day now."

Unfortunately, I owed him a 100$ steak dinner from I bet I lost.

I bet him that Cheney's heart would explode before the end of their first term.

I guess if you actually don't have a heart...it's impossible to die from a heart attack.

26. Now let's start a cable channel
Remember, most people get their information from TV so to really reach the American people, we need a cable channel. There has to be an alternative to FOX News.

28. Happy Birthday, AAR!
AAR is the best thing that's ever happened to radio. Morning Sedition is the reason I had to go out and get Sirius radio.

Congratulations to all!

32. Fabulous!
Unfortunately, I live about 30 miles beyond their signal in Maine. They are on in Portland and I live in Augusta. The only way I can usually get them is to stream.

As for the righties, let them swipe! They can use the free publicity.

BTW, My favorite AAR show is Unfiltered.

34. This calls for some fitting lyrics!!!
The odds were a hundred to one against me
The world thought the heights were too high to climb
But people from missouri never incensed me
Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned
For from history I had learned
How many, many times the worm had turned

They all laughed at Christopher Columbus
When he said the world was round
They all laughed when Edison recorded sound
They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother
When they said that man could fly

They told Marconi
Wireless was a phony
It's the same old cry
They laughed at me wanting you
Said I was reaching for the moon
But oh, you came through
Now they'll have to change their tune

They all said we never could be happy
They laughed at us and how!
But ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh now?

They all laughed at rockefeller center
Now they're fighting to get in
They all laughed at Whitney and his cotton gin
They all laughed Fulton and his steamboat
Hershey and his chocolate bar

Ford and his lizzie
Kept the laughers busy
That's how people are
They laughed at me wanting you
Said it would be, "hello, goodbye."
But oh, you came through
Now they're eating humble pie

They all said we'd never get together
Darling, let's take a bow
For ho, ho, ho!
Who's got the last laugh?
Hee, hee, hee!
Let's at the past laugh
HAR HAR HAR!
Who's got the last laugh now?
