Stephanie Miller ~ anybody else listen today?

[jillan]

What a ------! (that's for you Obama supporters)

Fine if she is an Obama supporter but she didn't have to be so dam rude
to callers that support Hillary.

She was talking over them, not letting them finish sentences and cutting them off.

Is she always like this?
To be honest, I haven't listened to her in a while.... and probably won't be
tuning back in anytime soon.

[jlake]

1. She has really gone overboard. I'm glad that she has a candidate she passionately

supports - but she needs to take down the Hillary hate a few notches.

:( :( :(

[dionysus]

13. if you think that's "hate" you're far too delicate for politics, sorry....

Steph Miller is "hateful"... :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[wryter2000]

24. You got that

I doubt she has a hateful bone in her body.

[LSK]

26. its jlake

What do you expect him to say?

[jlake]

27. Who knows what you koolaid fiends are gonna say next.

[LSK]

34. Obama said that we should jump off a cliff so that is our next move

[TheDebbieDee]

29. I gave up on Stephanie this morning. Their heads were

literally exploding over the Texas Caucus lawsuit issue.

That group either really loves Obama or their getting paid a whole lot of money by someone to pretend that they love Obama.

Either way, I'm not listening to her show til after they all settle down a bit. I'll check out her show again in another couple of months or so.

[dionysus]

54. another pack of good dems thrown under the bus because you guys can't accept that not everyone

agrees with you... what are you 5?

"ah bet obamas bribing the stephanie miller show!"

keerist you guys are losing it...

[rodeodance]

58. Joe Wilson, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones ring a bell to YOU??

[dionysus]

60. i disagree with their endorsement choice but it sure as hell doesn't make me hate them...

next?

[jgraz]

75. Is that the Stephanie Tubbs-Jones who says Obama's native country is Somalia?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=385&topic_id=97851

I used to respect her before this shameful display.

[Hieronymus]

2. Oh no, someone else is picking on [telling the truth about] Hillary.

[jillan]

5. It wasn't that - it was that she wouldn't let Hillary supporters talk.

[Tarheel_Dem]

38. you mean that Weatherman crap? and the lady who couldn't even

cite the source for the smear she was trying to get in before they had to cut her off? The woman got the information from watching Hannity's show...since when do we embrace information from Fox News of all places?

Sam Seder and Stephanie have repeatedly said that they will not allow their shows to be used to promote rightwing talking points...why do the right's work for them? And I completely agree with them, no matter who our candidate is. The Clinton supporters who call these shows just sound hysterical, and unhinged. That's why they get the chop.

[Connie_Corleone]

3. It depends on what the Hillary supporters were saying.

Some usually call in with this morning's talking points. I haven't listened to the podcast yet.

I thought Hillary supporters didn't like sexist words.

[Window]

46. Only when it's used against Hillary.

Freaking hypocrites

[Window]

47. Only when it's used against Hillary.

Freaking hypocrites

[my3boyz]

4. Way to go Stephanie!

Expose the true Hillary!

[jillan]

Is that the new politics? Not letting people speak?

[NightWatcher]

6. so you can call Steph a bitch, but to say that Hilary is "bitchy" is sexist?

love the double standard

[jillan]

11. Typical - reply with a question to change the topic.

:eyes:

[Hieronymus]

20. Nope, you DID call Stephanie a bitch. You're sexist, right?

[jillan]

23. No I called her a beatch.

[NightWatcher]

31. if we dared call Hillary the same, you all would have had a fit

at least be fair

[rodeodance]

64. what i have seen is Witch---with a wink wink

[Alexander]

62. Oh, well, that's somehow different.

:eyes:

Who are the real sexist pigs here?

[zulchzulu]

53. Steph would be the first person to admit she's a biotch

That's why I love her...

[rodeodance]

55. You are ignorant of the distinction between calling some a ** and sounding bitchy.

[mmonk]

7. Were they nice saintly callers?

Steph has gotten plenty of hatred about her support of a candidate.

[Tarheel_Dem]

43. No..they were screeching howler monkeys...

Telling Steph they can't continue to listen to her because she's too biased. Thom Hartmann has even mentioned that these attacks on progressive media almost seem orchestrated and coordinated by the Clinton campaign. Why don't they just change the channel? Why do they feel they have to make this big dramatic exit? I just wish that there had been 1/10 of this newly found outrage before Biden, Dodd, Kucinich, and John Edwards had to bow out because the media refused to cover them. Karma's a b*tch, ain't it?

"Waah..Waah...you like Obama more than Hillary, I hate you, and I'll never listen to your show ever again... Waah...Waah" I think the Hillarites should be careful who they alienate, because someone's gonna have to defend her if she somehow manages to snag the nod.

[mmonk]

56. I heard some of it.

I was being rhetorical but left the door open for something I may have missed since I didn't hear all of it.

[dionysus]

8. what you are seeing is liberal hosts getting fed up with astroturf campaign workers who never listen

to these shows call in and read from their little scripts.

[tularetom]

9. There was one Hillary supporter on there parroting Hannity

and I actually thought Stephanie was very patient with her. She was rambling on about Obama meeting with some radical group 100 years ago. Sadi she heard it on hannity and colmes. Didn't make a lot of sense. I would have hung up on her.

[jillan]

15. Actually - I missed that one. I caught the last 45 minutes of her show.

[judaspriestess]

17. that was not a Hillary supporter

they just probably said that to get air time. She listens to hannity and colmes for christ's sake.

[MadBadger]

10. Now watch the sexism double standard.

[NightWatcher]

12. the Hill-People are immune to double standards. just try calling Hillary a bitch and watch out

[Connie_Corleone]

14. Exactly. It's not okay for Hillary, but it's okay for other women.

[KAZ]

18. I'm waiting for an edit before commenting.

[Captain Hilts]

16. I just had to give her up. nt

[Botany]

19. Steph went out of her way to be nice but .....

... i heard callers intrupt her and read from anti Obama
scripts.

If you have a real problem w/ her .... call her ... and I guarntee
that you will get on.

[MnFats]

28. yep. and a couple of times, she interrupted callers...

who were wildly inaccurate.
she remains one of the best on-airs.

[Botany]

35. I know Steph and contribute to her show a little bit

She has gone out of her way to be nice to all callers but
there has to be limits.

Matter of fact her rule # 1 is to be nice to all people unless
"they" cross the line and try to control her show and air time.

My Favorite meme that is being pushed is Obama's link to
the Weather Underground (a radical off shoot of the S.D.S.
in the late 1960s). Obama would have been 8 freaking
years old then and was living in Indonesia at the time. I doubt
he was bombing ROTC bldgs on campuses @ the time.

[MnFats]

65. hey! he once was within a block of Bernadine Dorn!! what else do you need to know?

i'll bet he burned flags and ... and...

he was with the Armstrong brothers in Madison!
(history buffs remembre that one?)

[ronnykmarshall]

21. I don't listen to the three hour Obama ad anymore.

[wryter2000]

22. She's been blasted by some truly idiotic Clinton supporters

She's said over and over and over and over and over that she'll be proud to support Hillary if she gets the nomination, and she's been subjected to a lot of garbage from a few Hillary supporters whose elevators don't go to the top.

I'm in no way suggesting they represent the majority of Hillary supporters, but this type is there and is loud and insulting. Stephanie has put up with plenty from them, and I don't care how she reacts to them.

Editted to add that if you think calling her a sexist insult is going to win you any points, think again.

[jillan]

25. I listen to alot of radio personalities that support Obama AND are considerate

to supporters of other candidates.

[mmonk]

30. I will say this.

As someone who didn't start out in the Obama camp (me) and listening to radio show hosts take calls, many Clinton callers com across angrily and with a lot of venom. Stephanie's format using humor seems inappropriate for all the anger that comes across lines. I would be in her camp (as far as being a listener) whether she supported my pick for a politician or not.

[jgraz]

32. Just so I have this straight -- it's not sexism to call an Obama supporter a bitch?

Does that mean that when Hillary drops out and endorses Obama you'll call her a bitch, too?

[indimuse]

33. I heard that!

Very obvious....I am beginning to HATE her and ED Shultz...makes my blood boil at times...

[dionysus]

49. what a spoiled litttle childs view.... "they don't support hiwwawwee, i HATE them!!!"

here is your banky...

[Skip Intro]

36. Sounds like thrid degree Obamonia. As the condition progresses, feelings of hope and unity

are forgotten, and the infected often result to insults and telling the uninfected to STFU. Hostility reigns. Many think this state of progression may correlate to a high fever, and that once that fever breaks, the mind begins to heal itself, and the subject regains some measure of reasoning, objectivity and decorum, in short, healing may take place. It is too early to say at this point.

[dionysus]

50. is that supposed to be wildly clever?

[rodeodance]

57. I see it as witty

[jgraz]

37. FOR THE RECORD: Not one Hillary supporter has complained about the use of "BEATCH" in the OP

That's some real commitment to feminism you guys have. :eyes:

[jillan]

39. Will you go get yourself a cold beer please and chill out -

I edited the op since it was upsetting some of you.

[jgraz]

40. I've got my beer, I'm kicking back and waiting to see if anyone calls you on your bullshit

I'm guessing... no.

[jillan]

44. Why am I not surprised?

[Zookeeper]

45. I stopped listening to Steph's show a couple of months ago...

She says she will vote for the Democratic nominee, regardless, and I believe her. However, I didn't think I could bear to hear the adoring way she says, "Obama," one more time. She's never very good with on-line callers, IMHO, since she tends to be snippy and cuts them off rather quickly, but her obvious preference for Obama has made that habit much worse. The difference between Obama and Clinton is certainly not great enough to fairly cause Steph's level of adoration of Obama and disdain for Clinton.

I'll probably start listening again when the nominee is chosen.

[bpj62]

48. Stephanie Miller

I listen to Stephanie almost every morning and she was merely stating that this is not the time to start challenging the set up of the primaries in each state. I support Hillary and even I am getting tired of the "lets change the rules in the middle of the game crowd". Stephanie has repeatedly said that Hillary would make a fine candidate and a fine president, what more do you want. Stephanie and the mooks have been more then patient with some of the callers. The person who called and said that Obama was part of the "weatherman Underground" just blew my mind. I find it amusing that we are getting upset because democratic radio hosts have made their political choices clear. Try and get your point of view across on Limbaugh, Hannity or O'Reilly shows. Both this forum and Stephanies show allow dissent and isn't that the whole point of the democratic process.

[zulchzulu]

51. Tune back in after March 5th

Hillary will be out of the race by then.

[rodeodance]

52. She is byond rude. Give "progressive" radio a bad name. Lots of people I

know have tuned her out.

59. I'll see your Stephanie Miller and raise you one Taylor Marsh

really, what else do you expect if you listen to talk radio? I'd say the stuff you hear on those shows is 50% the host's personal views and 50% what's good for business.

[butterfly77]

61. Yes, she is always like this..

She tries to tell to many jokes and they are unfunny...

[SoxFan]

63. Go watch Wolfie

[Bluenorthwest]

66. Is she the one who uses all the sound cues

And punchlines from Little Britan and such? She could back me for President and I could not stand her! Schultz, well, I have an Obama backing friend who loves him now, I sent him an email he sent me last year about Ed being a 'GOP plant shilling for Clinton'. Funny stuff!
The only allegedly liberal talker I can stand is Thom Hartmann and lately even his show has been overly self promotional and he's been underprepared and prone to stammering around a point and frankly, I get annoyed. He has commercials for his commercials, and it does not stop. Book a cruise, curise a book, ask him about anything, and he has written 6 books about it and recommends two as essitial. Boring freaking radio way too much of the time, that is AAR at its best. At its worst it is simply a poor reflection of what the right does, invective laden bullying.
Give me Amy Goodman and let me go!

[SidneyCarton]

67. Cut Steph a break...

First off, she's taken an ungodly amount of fire about supporting Obama during the last few months and has managed to remain remarkably civil despite the daily ribbing. Secondly, I also heard the tail end of the mess regarding the weather underground bit, and the Woman's source was World Net Daily, when are we gonna learn that just because "I read it on the web" doesn't make it true. It ain't like the Baby Jesus personally writes everything that one reads out here.

[LisaM]

68. I can't listen to her anymore. She keeps saying that she is an entertainer

and that it's her job to entertain, blah, blah, blah. But here's the thing: she is a progressive and her audience is progressive. I don't think it's her job to divide HER OWN AUDIENCE. Even when I was an Edwards supporter, Stephanie made me feel sympathy for Hillary by constantly harping on her voice, her mannerisms, Bill, etc. But she went completely overboard with the Oprah garden party event. From then on she (Stephanie) has not looked back, and she's left a few Edwards supporters in her wake, and a LOT of Hillary supporters. I used to enjoy her show and it got me in a good mood for work, but I cannot listen to it anymore. Doesn't she want to hang on to her audience? We're supposed to unite together against conservatives, not be pitted against each other. She puts every Hillary caller on the defensive, every single one.

And as far as the Texas caucuses go, I think it's going to be a disaster. Their weird rules might have worked with low turnout, but let me tell you, it's going to be completely chaotic on Tuesday and a bunch of people will be pissed and a bunch more disenfranchised. This has been happening the whole campaign with caucuses. Caucuses are an unfair and ridiculous system and they mean a lot of people can't participate (I know - we had them in Washington). Did it ever occur to Steph and crew to examine the notion that the Texas system is terribly flawed?

[bpj62]

71. Primary-Caucus

You are right in stating that the Texas system is flawed, however it is flawed for both candidates. Hillary has had a tough time with the caucus states and am I am sure that this is why she freaking out about Texas. She had the same problem with the voting in casinos in Nevada but she still won that primary.

[LisaM]

72. Well, hear me out. I think that the caucus system is not prepared for the numbers

Understand, I don't like the process to begin with (going back to my first caucus in 1992). I also don't like open caucuses and primaries. Be that as it may, with the much lower turnout in previous elections, the systems, while not good, IMHO, were manageable.

It's a different story now. In Nevada, they attempted to hold the second round of caucuses in Clark County, and they were not able to! They've been postponed. The numbers were too large, and the planners couldn't accomodate it.

Our caucus in Washington started out with 1000 people in one room. It was like playing a game of Pit. Not everyone, e.g., was even signed in by the time it was supposed to start (no one was turned away for that, and I don't think they should have been). I never found out the total count in our precinct after the revisions, the chair was completely unprepared, and no one could explain how the delegates were allocated. Not everyone who wished to speak was given a chance. It was chaos.

I have a feeling Texas is going to be ugly. I think it's obvious that the campaigns need to focus on the problems one state at a time. Turnout is disrupting this process, which clearly was not designed to handle this many voters. It's great to see people turn out, but I don't think the caucus system is serving everyone well.

I also have a question about Texas. How do early voters caucus, and what if they arrive at the polling place and the caucus has been moved?

[babsbunny]

70. It is hard to listen to her, also keith Olbermann

The media has picked Obama, and the sheep will follow.

[Beaverhausen]

73. I had to turn her off. and I love her

But enough is enough. I will listen again in August.

[Captain Hilts]

78. Same here. I just can't listen to her. I've switched to the Tony Kornheiser show. nt

[Eurobabe]

74. Goodbye Pirhana, I'll see you when the primaries are over.

[TheWebHead]

76. when Hillary has begun her 2012 campaign already

and is currently serving as a defacto strategist for John McCain, it's time to end the niceties.

[Larkspur]

77. Steph is my #1 Progressive Talk Show Host

Love her humor and Jim Ward is THE BEST VOICE IMPERSONATOR in the WORLD!!!!

I also love Thom Hartmann, Sam Sedar, and Rachel Maddow. Not impressed with Bill Press. Sure miss The Young Turks but guess Cenk was too anti-Hillary for Mark Green.
