Good Lord what a bitter nasty troll Lynn Samuels (Sirius Left) is, talking about Obama.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

I just listened to about 20-30 minutes of this in the car today (my wife loves her show) and the whole thing was a bitter rant against Obama, nothing positive about her candidate who is apparently HRC.

During this listen session I learned that, apparently:

-Because Obama went to school while there was affirmative action, and his wife, we can't know anything about how intelligent they are or whether they deserved to go to those fancy schools. (As if the man had no professional track record in the State Senate, teaching, etc.)

-Apparently he's "not actually black", she calls him the "beige yuppie." Hmm... what kind of radio personality have we heard this kind of thing before? Oh yeah, Rush Limbaugh and his gleeful "Halfrican."

-Obama is stupid like GWB and will be just as bad as GWB if elected.

-So bad will Obama be that she will not support him in the general election against a Republican if he's nominated.

There was more but that sums up the general content.

Within the last few months on her show I've also heard a lot of anti-Hispanic immigrant hate too.

You've made no friend here, Lynn. Just because you're a little old New York City Jewish lady doesn't mean you get a pass to spew mean spirited petty right wingy and racist shit. Go fuck yourself.

1. she would vote for the ghoul, mittens, or the huckster

over Obama? pahleeze.

[Maat]

4. No, she seemed outraged that Hillary had not won.

I've been through law school, and well know what it takes to get through it; Obama and his wife are to be strongly commended. AND, let me tell you, you don't last as a constitutional law instructor as long as Obama did - without knowing the Law - EXTREMELY WELL.

Lynn's full of baloney.

2. Get ready for lots of latent racists to come out of the woodwork.

3. She first said that yesterday on the original broadcast ...

and I happened to be listening in the car while my kid did a tennis lesson.

I was shocked, and I did what one of the callers suggested; I emailed Sirius.

I haven't got even a 'form' email back (well, I got their automatic reply, but that's it).

I told them that she had to go; this diatribe had been completely unacceptable.

5. Lynn Samuels is unbearable listening, for me. She's self involved and

her voice is the antithesis of radio friendly.

I don't understand how she qualifies as "left", although it's hard to tell her political leanings with her focus on celebrity gossip and so forth.

For her to make those remarks about Sen Obama is unconscionable.

6. Lynn Samuels - have never seen her, but from the sound of her voice, I'm

fairly certain she is swaddled in polyester, has poppy seeds between her teeth, a dot of grease on her chin
and at least two rooms in her house that are painted pink.

7. It's the one on the right...

In case ya didn't know... LOL!! :rofl:

[hisownpetard]

8. Oh. Well, thanks, I guess. (She's not smiling, so I can't check out the poppyseeds,

but I KNEW (swear to God) that she'd have on some clunky kind of beads.

9. Certain DUers have called Obama "Hillary with a penis and a tan."

Yes, that is racist, and no, they were not disciplined for it.

11. Fortunately, they don't have radio shows. NT

14. Got a link?

it would be interesting to see if they're trolls or disruptors.

You do know to expect that kind of thing from outsiders here during primary season, don't you?

[Bzzzz]

10. I Love Lynn...

I disagree with her sometimes, but she's not afraid to speak her mind...and I for one, like that.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

12. Do you think her calling Obama a "beige yuppie" and saying he's not black is a substantive argument?

Do you agree that he's such a bad candidate that he shouldn't be supported or voted for against one of these Republicans?

[OzarkDem]

13. OMG! Is she supposed to be a Dem/ liberal?

I'm supporting Edwards, but would defend Obama in a minute over something like that.

Totally unacceptable.
