Leykis kicks ass!

I go to all of his parties here in Seattle.

Leykis 101 does work!

 

[Ravengirl]

I love Tom Leykis!

 

[Hugh Jorgan]

I love Tom Leykis!

So then I suppose on Friday, if you see me driving with my headlights on, you will respond in kind?

 

[VMC]

Flash Friday

It seems to me that Falsh Friday is either occuring somewhere else or I am not looking out the window for a flash.

101 listener, user and will be forever thankful.

*chuckles* anything is possible...but I don't know how I'd pick you out of all the SoCal Friday evening traffic.

 

[VivaZapata]

Does he still open his show with; "He's not a right wing whacko....or a convicted felonnnNO! He's Tome Leykis!"?

I loved the implied jabs a Slimebaugh and Liddy. Unfortunately the evil empire of radio, Clear Channel, pulled the plug for Leykis without regard for local support.

 

[wil]

Don't worry, I'm sure there will be Govt program for liberal talkshows (I know you have NPR) that can't make it on there own.

 

[VivaZapata]

(I know you have NPR) that can't make it on there own.

Maybe they "can't make it on their own" because they have the integrity to operate as a non-profit organization and only sell underwriting spots for operating funds and not sell out (for profit) to advertisers and their influence over content like commercial radio. The airwaves should not be monopolized by corporate interest. My friend, money is not the yardstick by which substance is measured.

Sorry pal, NPR has conservatives on it's senior staff too i.e. Cokie Roberts. You're just mad because you can't handle the fact that NPR is the most objective and in-depth major souce of broadcast news, documentaries and talk.

If you need conservative comfort, go watch the spinmeisters of the fluffy and trendy FOX News, the bully pulpit of the ruling class and Bush regime.

He does still start that way. Makes me laugh every time.

That's a shame that they yanked Leykis off the air there...everyone should get their daily dose of Tom.

 

[Hugh Jorgan]

Obviously never studied 101...

Tom would be disappointed this thread turned into a moronic flamewar of politics.

I'm dissappointed there aren't more 101 students here.

Obviously these folks aren't.

Take me out old-school, Tom.


KA-BOOOOOOOM!

 

[bart]

As a card carrying member of the so-called "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy", I have to reply to Zapata's call of the NPR being the

"most objective and in-depth major souce of broadcast news, documentaries and talk"

That statement is laughable. NPR is a collection of the most anti-American, liberal losers the free world has ever known, not counting the BBC. Yes Zapata they do have a token conservative playing a marginal role, but by and large the staff is liberal. However, most people are there because their ideas are so far to the left, that even mainstream media won't touch them.

Liberals base most of their political agenda on emotional pleas that will not stand up to rational debate. This makes for poor talk radio where the host must engage their audience. It generally makes for poor politics, too. Witness the last congressional elections... that is how America responds to the far left of the Democratic party.

When are you liberals going to figure out that the MAJORITY of Americans do not like your ideas, not some lever pulling wizard behind a curtain that decides which ideas are good and which are bad. The fact of the matter is, conservative talk radio is popular because people agree with the ideas, and are tired of the other liberal-controlled media telling them what is good and what is bad for them.

So Zapata, live with it. I know it absolutely makes you apoplectic that America likes conservative talk radio, and for the most part, sees NPR for what it is.

 

[uavchaser]

they're doing it Hugh. they must definitely not be graduates of 101 like myseld.

Take me out with a bong hit and a thank you jesus!!

 

[Hugh Jorgan]

Morons

Start your own thread for ideological bull$hit! This one is 101 country. Leave us alone to talk about the issues we REAAAAALLLLLLLLY care about!

Thanks for highjacking a perfectly awesome thread.

There's a time and a place for intelligent exchanges regarding our press. This is neither. Go AWAY.

 

[Hugh Jorgan]

they must definitely not be graduates of 101 like myseld.

Clearly, they haven't studied under The Professor, but can one really ever graduate? I feel as though I'm a diligent student for life!

Hump 'em and dump 'em.

 

[VivaZapata]

okay bart,

"That statement is laughable. NPR is a collection of the most anti-American, liberal losers the free world has ever known"

That's not an "emotional plea"? You call that "rational debate"? We seem to have a pot calling the kettle black. Just because one is not in lock-step with the Bush regime and are dissenting does not make one "anti-American". It is more patriotic to call out the administration's bravo sierra.

The last "election"? You call that circus an "election"? It stopped being and election when the judiciary stepped in.

Sorry pal, conservative tabloid talk radio is not the antithesis of NPR, not even in the same ballpark. Right wing talk radio consists of patsy hosts glibly pontificating convienient one-liners by which angry listeners can vent without having to think too much. As much as they would like you to believe, it does not, by a longshot, have it's finger on the political pulse of the nation.

You, bart, live with that reality.

 

[Hugh Jorgan]

A minor victory for morons

Oh well, it was a nice try UAV. I'll concede to the ideologues this time.

We know the truth though, don't we?

As for Swass; MEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!

 

[Hugh Jorgan]

Where did Swass go?

Looks like Swass lost his cajones.

Wife order you to delete your post?

MEEEOOWWWWW!

 

[Swass]

My cajones are intact. You should know, they're bouncing off your chin right now.

I deleted my post because I felt as though I took potshots and low blows to two of our Leykis fans who share opposite political beliefs than myself. I don't like it when others take potshots at me, so I deleted the response to show the same respect to you.

Political debate can bring out the worst and most aggressive qualities in people. This forum is no different, I have read some of the nastiest exchanges here, in of all places an aviation forum.

The attitudes in here ar getting a little negative, I just didn't want to add to that.

 

[Midnight Mike]

YOU BET! "Do you Care?"

In true Leykis fashion, here ya go

[uavchaser]

i keep having that "meow meow meow meow" song in my head every time I come back to this thread to read this off topic bs. I'm in graduate school of Leykis 101 now Hugh, i'll always be dilligently studying the fine art kicking beotches to the curb, hey I just did last night, look at that.

 

[bart]

Yo Zapata, check this out:

1. Congressional elections were held in 2002 and were a sweeping victory for conservatives. The courts were mute because the Democrats did not attempt to selectively count votes. The judiciary stepped in in 2000 because one side wanted only to recount votes in selected districts rather than in the whole state.

2. Who mentioned George Bush? His foreign policy is excellent, but he is a big government, big spending liberal elsewhere.

3. The hosts that are patsys are the hosts at NPR. Do you think they would have a job for one second if they were anything but left wing reactionaries? If the views of the left wing were so popular, they would have talk shows that were economically viable due to the following:

Popular Content = Large Audiences = Higher Advertising Revenues

The NPR model is as follows:

Unpopular Content = Small Audiences = Must take money from people by force

Unlike the NPR, conservative talk radio hosts aren't using government power to forcibly take my money and support their agenda. They then proclaim that their viewpoints are important and not well understood by the un-educated masses - creating the self-important, elitist viewpoint that most of their listeners have.

NPR in the end is just another Government jobs program - only the no-talent bums that hold the jobs have advanced degrees.

NPR is a collection of the most anti-American, liberal losers the free world has ever known, not counting the BBC.

Spoken like a man who's never actually listened to either.

I still haven't figured out how not believing every single thing that dribbles out of George W.'s mouth makes you an "anti-American liberal loser."

 

[bart]

Typhoon...

I have listened extensively to both NPR and the BBC (both segments on other networks and their Int'l shortwave broadcasts).

I hold my opinion from listening to them both. Their liberal bias has been researched and published (www.mediaresearch.org, www.eagleforum.org, and accuracy in media). The fact that the journalists in the national media are dominantly Liberal is really beyond serious question. Evidence was clear as far back as 1981 when the S. R. Lichter and Stanley Rothman queried 240 journalists working for the national media and found that 81% percent voted for the Democratic candidate for president for every election from 1964 to 1972. More recently, Thomas Edsall, political reporter for the Washington Post cites 2001 Kaiser/Public Perspective survey that, ``only a tiny fraction of the media identifies itself as Republican (4%) or Conservative (6%). This is in direct contrast to the public, which identifies itself as 24% Republican and 35% Conservative...''

As for George W, I did not bring him up. You and Zapata did.

Please point out where I stated I believe everything he says.

 

[Typhoon1244]

As a card carrying member of the so-called "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy..."

This is what caught my eye...any credibility you might have had with me was lost with this statement. I'm frightened by anyone who aligns themselves solely with the beliefs of one Party. Life is not, and never will be, that simple.

Something's happening to me as I grow older. I used to think Republicans were heartless as_holes and the Democrats would eventually save the day. But recent events (9/11, Iraq, etc.) have made me realize that the Democrats are, well, morons. Wonderful. Thanks to the simple-minded, all-or-nothing nature of our current political system, I have to choose between as_holes and morons.

Political discussions on this forum give me a headache...I'm going to look for aitplane stuff...

 

[VivaZapata]

Yo, bart,

"Popular Content = Large Audiences = Higher Advertising Revenues"

The same argument can be made for Big Macs and the National Enquirer. Your reasoning does not give your points any merit.

Your links are to right leaning organizations, hardly objective sources, especially eagleforum....I don't buy it.

NPR and Public television are PARTLY (mostly listener supported) funded by the ("elected") gov't because people realize that to maintain integrity and objectivity, there needs to exist broadcast mediums that are relatively free of commercial influence or profit motive.

You may have listened "extensively" to NPR and BBC yet you obviously filter the content with your preconceived notions. To simplistically lump all of the professional staff at NPR as "left wing reactionaries" and "no talent bums" is abject nonsense.

 

[Huck]

I listen to Limbaugh. I listen to NPR. I can actually enjoy listening to people that don't hold the same views as mine. It's like watching TV when you're overseas. Yeah, CNN is there, but don't you want to hear other opinions once in awhile? (And some of those BBC girls are hotties, at least the weather ones....)

 

[gallileo]

- Go get em Zapata.-

The rantings of Rabid conservatives hurt my head.

by the way. Did the pennacilin work?
