Official "Guy James Show" thread. Want some good radio for a change?

[BeachBuckeye]

We have a lively show planned this evening from 7 to 10pm. Of course, its your calls that make a good show so please call in at 888-602-7500, 7501, 7502, 7503 or 7504. WINK 1240AM in Ft. Myers Florida and WNOG 1270AM in Naples, Florida.

Got lots of mail this week from local Dems telling me I had better be "nicer to Republican callers". What do you think? I think not! When callers show me respect they get the same thing back. I believe we lost this last election by being "nice". They also don't like the fact that I attacked Senator Bill Nelson because of his votes on Gonzales and Rice and, also, any Dem who voted for the bankruptcy bill. Hey, I calls'em like I see's em. No Party line here.

The "memo" is finally getting out a little bit. We will talk extensively about it and Bush's deserving to be impeached and imprisoned bacause of it. If we had a Congress with a conscience he would go to jail for leading us into this war with lies. I will never forgive him for this. Join us tonight!

1. Can't wait for the show!

I can't wait for the show. I'm staying in this evening so I'll get to listen to it all. I don't think you should be nice to rightwingers when they call into YOUR show and insult you etc. If they're nice to you then you should be nice but if they don't show you any respect I'd say fuck it. :) Oh and the Foo Fighters named their new album "In Your Honor" for John Kerry. :loveya: You can read about that in the JK forum. :)

[krystine]

2. Nicer to Reps?

Gee Guy. I thought you were nice to them. Usually you let them just hang themselves. If they don't like the way you handle the neo-con callers, they must really be upset with Mike Malloy. On the reaction to the memo, related is the ABC story saying they were not that interested in covering the war. It is time to just go out and sink the neo-con MSM. Sink it like a rat infested pirate ship.

[Dudley_DUright]

3. Like the other side even lets democratic callers

through their screeners in the first place. :eyes:

[FreedomAngel82]

18. Exactly

They expect it of us but don't expect to treat us like that. LOL on the guy with the dog. That's funny. I'm enjoying the show Mr. James.

[B Calm]

4. You can't be nice to republicans! You have to hit them in the head

with a brick just to get their attention. All of them have been brainwashed to vote against their own best interests.

6. Whoohoo!

Too bad I have to leave in a few.. well, not really. ;) I'm very hungry for some paella y vino!

Enjoy the show! ... I'll check the archives later. :)

[Catherine Vincent]

15. Ewww!! That's some nasty looking shit!

:hi:

[Swamp Rat]

7. Kick ASS Guy!!!

I'm glad I stayed for the opening! :woohoo:

IMPEACH THE BASTARDS!!! :grr:

:kick:

8. We must be our own journalists

The days of real journalism in the televised media is over. It died on 9/11/01. With access to wire services, alternative media and blogs. we have to inform each other as we do here on Democratic Underground. What is more, we need to be critical more than we are now of the MSM. It is obvious they are not getting the message, nor do they want to hear the message that they are obsolete.

[krystine]

9. Walter Reed

Technically they are not going to close Walter Reed, but a building a new hospital in Maryland. The structure is over 100 years old. They are going to lessen the number of beds though.

[krystine]

10. Walter Reed Medical Center on Pentagon Closing List

From this site

http://www.wgrz.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=28464

...If approved by a commission, Congress and the president, the plan would move some staff and services to an expanded medical center in nearby Bethesda, Maryland. Officials say the new facility on the campus of the National Naval Medical Center would get the Walter Reed name.....

[proud patriot]

11. Hi everyone

:hi:

[Catherine Vincent]

14. Hi there, Truthseeker!

:hi:

[Swamp Rat]

20. Way'at Truthseekers!

:hi:

[eleny]

12. Great call from Peter

We need to inform each other since the news media doesn't dare.

[Dudley_DUright]

13. Saxby Shameless

Every time I think about the smear on Max Cleland, my blood just boils.

:mad: :grr: :argh:

[krystine]

16. Same here

I was in tears last Summer when George Bush refused to look at the letter Max took to him in Crawford. Max's fighting for disabled rights alone makes him a hero to be admired.

[FreedomAngel82]

19. When I read about what they did to him

it was purely disgusting. I just couldn't believe it, but then again look at what they did to Kerry. I remember reading around the election an interview with Kerry's wife and she was asked why she left the republican party and she said because of how they treated Cleland. Simply disgusting. They only spout "support our troops" when they're off fighting. When one is running against an AWOL sob they don't give a damn. I also remember the whole "purple heart bandaid" shit they did to Kerry. God these people have no sense of shame.

[krystine]

21. Yes, that is true.

Not only disgusting, but downright cruel. All Bush had to do was to come out and take the letter, Not even agree with it. It would of defused some of the left wing sentiment against Bush... But No. He had his booted thugs come out, turn Max away. It was just plain cruel.

[krystine]

17. Why Rush dropped out of college.

Didn't Limbaugh drop out of college because he was seen frequenting a park popular with gay cruisers?

[krystine]

22. We love you the way you are, Guy

From us at DU, we love your style. In fact, I am just as proud of you when you call out the Dems as you do the Reps.

[Dudley_DUright]

23. No need to apologize

We like you just the way you are, Guy. :loveya:

[FreedomAngel82]

25. I agree

The show is great and I like it. I look forward to it every Saturday night. :) Keep up the great show!

[eleny]

27. I feel the same

Don't change, Guy.

Sorry about Kucinich not making it to tonight's program. But you've had some great callers this evening.

[Judi Lynn]

24. Senator Nelson is not that far from being a Zellster.

It's good form to tell the truth about this major disappointment.

Glad Guy James won't white wash him.

[FreedomAngel82]

26. Iraq is

so against the Constiution. I wish we could do something about this. And the caller about holding people is right too because they're all more then likely innocent. *sigh* It's so disheartning. What can we do about this??

[Bozita]

28. UAL pension toon -- Can you find the parachutes?

Hint: The parachutes are golden.

[benburch]

29. White Rose checking in!

We start our next fund raiser this week!

If you want to beat the rush, you can donate to White Rose at http://www.WhiteRoseSociety.org/Donate.html

We could really use your donations in any amount.

THANKS!

[eleny]

33. Hi Ben!

[benburch]

34. Hi, Eleny!

Didn't I hear you calling in to one of the shows (I forget which) this week?

:applause:

[eleny]

36. No, but Bob Kincaid read my email to him on the air

I get the jitters about calling in!

[benburch]

37. That's what it was!

I knew I recalled your name.

Isn't Bob's show great? And he is about to be syndicated!!!

[krystine]

41. Great News.

The more the voices the better.

[eleny]

42. No kidding! I'm so glad for him!

I absolutely love his regular local callers. Talk about articulate and well thought through ideas. The South is not lost to the right wing. Head On!

[Dudley_DUright]

40. LOL

Your jittery smilie is great. I am the same way about calling in, but we can contribute to the show via the DU thread.

[eleny]

30. No wingnut callers yet?

Or did I miss them? But I don't think so. :popcorn:

[Dudley_DUright]

31. Wow, a very well informed caller!

He has hit all the high (or perhaps low) point of the week. Nice job. :thumbsup:

[eleny]

32. These local callers are great

We can learn about the doings and goings on. Hearing Tom Feeney's name perked up my ears given his history of involvement in fixing the votes during the last election.

[Dudley_DUright]

38. I once was on a flight to DC with Feeney

not long after he was elected to congress. I glared at him the whole way since I remembered very well what he tried to do during the 2000 election in the FL house.

[BeachBuckeye]

35. Slow nite!

Our locals have deserted us. Give us a call!

[benburch]

39. Must be beautiful weather down there!

I'd call but I don't have anything to say! (Unusual for me.)

[benburch]

43. Thanks for the GREAT plug, Guy!

:yourock:

[eleny]

44. They all sang "If I Had A Hammer" to Tom DeLay!!!

I couldn't believe that. A good old lefty, song! What a bunch of maroons. The right wing is short circuiting!

[benburch]

45. BTW, Check out my new Blog....

http://www.livejournal.com/users/ben93/

[eleny]

47. Super!

[eleny]

46. Great show as ever, Guy!

Time for my Saturday night bubble bath!

[Dudley_DUright]

49. Have a good one

Your smilies are cracking me up tonight. :rofl:

[Dudley_DUright]

48. I wish I had time to go to NY for nostamj's memorial

but the next best thing will be listening to your show next week. Thanks for the heads up.

[benburch]

50. GREAT SHOW!

:applause: :patriot:
