I guess since Air America and the great liberal Al Franken and freinds can't steal from the Boys Club of New York to keep them a float anymore... they are going out of business. Where are all their supporters that believe in them and the garbage they blast over the airways.

Who Cares? doubt they will be out of buisiness or off the air , If you want to be successful on the radio you cant have a woman like randy rhodes with her annoying yenta voice on the radio for the afternoon commute who wants a to hear a nag on the way home from work ? you could just call your wife or mother if you wanted to hear that.

I think abc is funnier than air america anyway rush hannity and mark levine are way better comedians than franken , I doubt they even believe the shit that they say.


Sadly your best bet if your looking for truth are the sports channels at least their statistics arenīt misleading

Thanks for the thoughtful contribution to the CH board, Beachman. It seems that about every other day you get constipated and feel the need to take a shit here.

I'm still looking for a meaningful contribution from you that has anything to do with the main topic of CH.

I'm getting kind of tired of your doing nothing but laying turds everywhere.

PS. it's "airwaves" not "airways," and "afloat" not "a float." Consider taking a course in English.

Bwana, with Bush making an ass out of himself daily, his ideological following and fellow conservatives are a rabid bunch, who are indeed very busy laying turds. Although it's tiring, it's understandable.

They should find solice in the fact that an IQ test is not required to vote.

Air America finally got rid of Jerry Springer, now people will start listening again.

Advertisers better start supporting Air America after November 7 if they have any business before the new Democratic majority in congress.

Beach,

I am unfamiliar with Air America, and I hope that I am misreading your post.

It seems like you are taking delight in this company's failure. Your tone seems to indicate that they deserve what they got. Just from what you said, it seems the worst thing they did was disagree with the President and the republican party.

I think it is important to have a contrarian voice especially during these times. Don't you?

No BT. He doesn't.

1) I don't think that Air America is going out of business (yet), it simply a business reorganization, like Delta Airlines and many other companies have done.

2) I can't listen to AA much - they go in for this "Republicans are naturally evil" crap that may have worked in high school, but not in the real world.

Bluestraveller-

Read the above link and you will see where I am coming from.

I do take delight in their failure.....and they are the biggest hypocrites.

I am tired of the corpution from both parties but what is worse the coruption of the media that protects both parties. The media hides behind the coontitution of the right to a free press when in reality the media has become an extension of the Democratic and Republican parties. Both parties have taken more rights of the people than any President has and the media....who is suppose to be the watchdog is as corupt as the political parties.

If anyone wants to learn more about the media check out the movie manufacturing consent , or read necessary illusions, or propaganda and the public mind , both by noam chomsky ,I also saw a good documentary called the myth of the liberal media , excellent as well.

The media is not the enemy. They are an essential part of the American version of democracy. I know nothing about Air America, but it seems like they made a bunch of bad business decisions. If they fail, it seems like it is a function of these bad decisions, and not where they sit on the political spectrum.

Furthermore, the democrats are not the enemy. I refuse to donate money to Republicans that call democrats the enemy. The converse holds true as well.

The mainstream media is an extension of both political parties. And since you are mentioning it....Bush is not the enemy either.....the terrorists are... who have sworn kill as many as Americans as they can and distrupted our way of life any way than can. They follow no international rules or laws and flaunt and make a mockery that we must or the World condems us. The terrorists have convince the World to be more afraid of them because they are free to do as they like and America will follow the rules and laws 99.99999999% of the time and the one or two times they don't...... their own liberal countrymen (Democrats) will create such a firestorm that it will break the will of the American public and will take the pressure off the terrorists so they can bid their time, regroup and organize and strike back in a fashion that will make 9/11 look like a car wreck compare to what they will do in the future!

And we CAN'T even negociate with them because they do not value ANY human life....even their own! But they know they are being protected by the Liberal Democrats who insist that terrorists are entitled to the same rights under our Constitution that American Citizens are.....and are making a mockery and are controlling how the US must engage in the War against terrorism. Can you imagine.....we would probaly still be fighting World War Two if we fought under the same rules of engagement today or worse yet be speaking German or Japanese!

Beachman sure comes up with some stupid shit. Incapable of anything but black and white thinking, and even for that genre he is incapable of an original thought, only Polly want a cracker stuff.

Here's a fun exercise. Click on each of the handles in this topic, there aren't that many so it's easy to do. Everyone has trip reports or photos or both, except for one person who has been around since May 2001. Check his posts in the past year, 66 posts, 66 of which are in the Off-Topic section.

Not only is he an illiterate buffoon, he's completely lost.

Most of us understand the purpose of CH and post about politics because we're well rounded and it's something else to talk about occasionally. For others, or more precisely one other, it's the whole point of participating on this website.

This guy obviously has pent-up anger issues from his childhood when he was beat up for being stupid (they said he "wasn't very bright", he thought they said they "didn't like whites"), so to compensate he chooses to rail against "liberals" (translation: not Republican) by mischaracterizing their motivation (fear, appeasement, betrayal) rather than appealing to logic and reason to make his points. I'm not sure why you guys are trying to reason with him.

As for the topic, left-leaning Americans tend to be much closer to the center than right-leaning Americans. Consider the popularity on the Right of commentators and best-selling authors like Coulter(Treason...Liberal Treachery), Hannity(Deliver Us From Evil...Liberalism), Savage(The Enemy Within...Liberals) and the lack of such incendiary rhetoric (at a comparable scale) on the Left. Political talk radio requires a more hard-core partisan audience, and the Left simply does not have it.

My theory is that Beachman has so thoroughly bought into the FEAR FEAR FEAR mantra that he's afraid to travel.

On top of that, it's well known that most prostitutes are liberal.

Beachman,

No matter how poorly you represent your thoughts, I do believe that you are not alone. Perhaps, some officials in the highest levels of our government share your points of view. If you look back on my posts, I never once challenged your opinions, because I realized early on it was hopeless.

All that said, my point of view is totally opposite of yours. I believe that extremism is promoting hatred. The Muslim extremists believe that all Americans want to kill them. Furthermore Republican extremists (you included) believe that all Muslims want to kill Americans. Both sides are promoting hatred and fear. In this regard, you are right. The Republican extremists have been less successful in promoting hate and fear than the Muslim extremists. You are correct to partially blame the democrats, but we are also seeing signs that moderate republicans no longer want to promote an agenda of hate and fear.

You are wrong in your assumption that it is futile to negotiate with Muslim nations. I agree that it is futile and hopeless to negotiate with Muslim extremists. Note: they feel the same way about us. But not all Muslim nations are represented by their extremist segments.

There is a solution to this mess, but we have to remove the extremists from both sides, and then we can find common ground with the more moderate thinking populations on both sides of the pond. So I would say that the battle is not against terrorism but against extremism. Unfortunately, some of this extremist thinking is in our own government.

I would agree that liberals do not mesh well with talk radio, hence its lack of success. For whatever reason, most talk radio listeners appear to be right leaning. I couldn't begin to tell you why.

I for one am looking forward to divided government once again. It's too much pressure for one party to have control of the House, Senate, and the Presidency. The party in total control gets blamed for everything and the party with no control feels like they are left out of the process, hence resentment builds.

Beachman, you do seem a bit high strung on the issue of politics. I would just point out that liberals and Democrats are not your enemy. Yes, Clinton screwed up some things, but so has Bush.

You might want to take your thoughts over to http://www.watchblog.com/ . If you keep posting things like you've been doing, you are just going to keep getting hammered, and I don't really see the point.
