My friend Doug; THE BEST liberal radio talk show host EVER.

[LynnTheDem]

"I start off my show every day by saying that it is the alternative to the daily lies, hate and abomination known as conservative talk radio," Basham explained. "I think conservative talk radio has evolved into an aberration.

"The main purpose of the show has always been to expose conservatism for the inherently dishonest, overtly shallow, greedy and selfish ideology it is. A lot of people say, 'You are nothing but a Bush-basher!' I take pride in that. That is what I have worked hard to develop into."

"We looked at Doug's show, and thought it was a great nighttime show because of his background in entertainment," explained Andrew Henderson, founder of the Phoenix-based network. "That translates into the show. You listen to so many shows today -- the Rush Limbaughs on down -- they are kind of just a big sermon. That's not what we're looking for. We wanted something more edgy, more exciting than that. We think that Doug is a great candidate for nighttime talk and fits that bill perfectly."

"The bottom line is the kind of programming I do right now is still -- with a certain contingency in America -- unpopular," Basham continued. "A lot of people have bought into this blind nationalism disguised as patriotism, have bought into the fear element of terrorism -- even though any credible study I've ever seen shows it's a small movement and doesn't have the support of the majority of the Muslim people. It's really nothing. It's certainly nothing we need to attack a defenseless Third World nation over.

Explained Jon Lindquist, KLAV's operations manager, about Basham's situation: "We don't want to lose him. He is a valuable part here, and he's got a terrific show. He's ruffled every feather in town. You know, it's just good radio."

4. Doug's vast knowledge available at his fingertips makes me feel like

an uneducated child, lol! The man KNOWS his stuff. And his guests are simply the top of the top.

And he's polite and hilarious and tells it EXACTLY as it is. No holds barred.

Plus he does the call-in whack-a-moran game with skill beyond belief; I wish I had the number of factual comeback lines at the tip of my tongue to slay ignorant rightwingnuts with the way he does! I always end up thinking of the perfect smackdowns AFTER a run-in with a rightwingnut moran. Not Doug; he shows them up for the ignorant morans they are, instantly.

GOTTA love that! :)

6. HIs original non-syndicated show:

Basham Radio is on the air from 9 - 10 AM(Pacific) weekday mornings (Mon. - Fri.) and rebroadcast each evening from 11 pm - 12 midnight on AM 1230 KLAV.

Each show will also be simulcast on the internet.

I listen on the net; go to his site;

http://www.dougbasham.com/base.html

and click on the "Listen Live" either M-F mornings, or for the evening re-broadcasts, or click on "Show Archives" to hear past shows.

Honestly, he's just The Best. :)

7. Well, right now there's some right winger on, talking about his dog named

"Semper Fi." :eyes:

So, the rebroadcast from 11 pm - 12 midnight is not Pacific time?

[LynnTheDem]

8. BAHHH I'm an IDJIT!

Re-broadcasts are 1AM - 2AM Pacific.

SORRY!

(I must learn to tell time...I must learn to tell time...I must learn to tell time...)

9. Now I have to take a shower.

The guy even went on to defend his Marine Sgt openly making racist comments - as long as you diss everyone, it's OK. Then he said it was cool for him to talk shit about Mexicans cuz "his great great grandfather rode with Poncho Villa!" :eyes:

I guess they allow lizards on that station too.

[LynnTheDem]

10. Oh yeah they sure do, BIG time. Doug's one of the only liberals on the

entire airwaves there. And DAMN but he's GOOD! As they said, he's ruffled every feather in that God-forsaken rightwingnut town.

:) :) :)
