Black talk network gone in NYC, Boston

Yup...meanwhile are there still some conservative black talkers still out there..Larry Elder? Ken Hamblin? Guess they're still both on, or at least Elder is...

>>ANTI-business

same problem Air America has. In the book South Park Conservatives, Brian Anderson wrote about a South Park episode about a Starbucks-like business coming to town, and there were protests against it--but the kids
point out that big businesses are worth having--"they make computers and cars and canned soup", etc.
Why advertise on a network that puts down businesses?

That wascaly wabbit Kennedy said so as much in an interview about why AAR isn't busting down the doors of N/T. He says it's hard to get sponsorship from GM or Big Pharma when your entire 'talent' lineup is crucifying them daily.

Someone give that guy some Riiiiiiiicola! ;)

I guess the red necks have never heard of Barnum. Instead they quote a cartoon as a marketing and advertising authority. Including now the guy from Atlanta who invokes the name of the CSA president in his handle.

OK, there's a Black talk network and the hosts get "uppity." Maybe it's time for a good-Ole-boy, White American talk network. Maybe David Duke is available to host. Too bad George Wallace didn't stay around longer; a real natural for talk radio. Maybe Salem would provide backing (the owners are from Bob Jones University where they finally let in Blacks under IRS pressure but don't allow inter-racial dating). Possible sponsors might include Clorox ("because really White people should wear really white sheets"). Zippo ("lights the cross right the first time - every time"). Aunt Jemimah Grits. Moon Pie and RC ("a real White man's breakfast for the defenders of White Southern womanhood"). Then there are the mobile home dealers and mobile home parks ("mobile homes tough enough to stand up to twisters and the FBI"). On Sundays they could sell time to the mega-church preachers (premium rates; they'll pay it - discounts for sermons on "the mark of Cain").

I keep forgetting. Some people don't get irony.

An informative thread? I guess you missed "InstrumentofTRUTH" and radio's scion of the Lee family (FFV).

Freddy my boy.... That was the most bigoted hateful racist posting I've seen on this board in quite a while.

Freddy... I didn't just get off the pickle boat yesterday.

Ah say.... You can't excuse a hateful posting by calling it irony.

Only the greenest of greenhorns will be fooled by that, son.

Your mouth is open, but nothin's comin' out. Don't hold it in,
ah say, don't hold it in. Ah can't read your mind, your mind,
that is.

2 isn't "some", but Ken Hamblin isn't even on anymore. Larry Elder (barely) is, however. His show isn't that good--it has virtually NO entertainment value. I honestly believe that "the powers that be" keeps him on the air just to keep us from noticing the OBVIOUS racism in this industry. ONE host doesn't mask this FACT--especially when it isn't the BEST host out there...

If Larry Elder were white, and put on the very same talk show, he would NOT be on the air today... His show just isn't good enough. He's on for "token" status ONLY, believe that...

Why advertise on a network that puts down businesses?

EXCELLENT question, and observation. This is what is KILLING "black" talk radio. There's a talker (used very loosely) in Atlanta that is a downright LAUGHINGSTOCK in the industry for this very reason. This station loads up on PSAs during MORNING AND AFTERNOON DRIVE--go figure!!! This is because they cannot get any advertising for that station. However, the owners of this station (WAOK, owned by CBS Radio, yet another Viacom product) doesn't seem to care, because their OVERALL mission is protected--promoting STUPIDITY in the name of black people. No other company has the contempt for the black race than Viacom, in specific, Joel Hollander (CEO CBS Radio). I yearn for the day that black people wake up and realize this. Why would CBS Radio sell OTHER "failing" stations in their portfolio, and they retain the OBVIOUS failure WAOK? Because of the statements I previously mentioned. We (black folks) should demand better programming, intelligent programming, and creditable programming. My show would be a great example of what we need. Yes, I am a conservative, but my show isn't limited to the typical liberal vs. conservative debate. My show is appealing to ALL demographics, and isn't based on stupidity. It is entertaining, however. Hear it for yourself.

I never complained to be a progressive.
However, considering all the shots taken at liberals and progressives on this board, I was curious to see how y'all would respond to your own medicine. Seems like you dish it but can't take it.
And I don't consider y'all to "conservatives." Barry Goldwater was a conservative. So is William F. Buckley. The right wing talk hosts and the people who agree with them here are fasicsts. Sorry but your positions and actions fit the defintion exactly. Nationalism. Obsessive patriotism, coupled with military conquest. Deference to government authority. Insistance on conformity. Ethnic exclusion. Abandonment of measures to safe guard individual civil liberties. Placing authority and trust in one central leader.

I have no respect for parrots who are unwilling to think for themselves and only repeat what they hear.

Wow, Freddie. Your true nature is really showing in this thread. Call your comments irony if you want, but we all know it's your bigoted view of conservatives oozing out again. Yours are some of the most bigoted, hateful remarks I've ever read on a board like this. Certainly not very "progressive," eh?!!

I never complained to be a progressive.

That makes no sense. What was that supposed to mean?

Your postings are really bizarre, Fred. Like Forrest Gump's proverbial box of chocolates, I never know what to expect when you post.

I more or less agree with what you said above. But you go too far. Beck, O'Reilly, and Ingraham definitely fit the description of religious right extremists with fascist tendencies. Limbaugh and Savage are less obsessive and more intelligent, with their own endearing idiosyncrasies, but still a bit extreme. (No worse than the AAR hatemongers, however.) I don't know how to classify the Salem folks.... I don't listen to them that often.

But how do you justify classifying any non-liberal as a fascist? That's bigotry, to say the least.

I don't trust the government any more than I trust you. I'm sure the government has the same proportion of stupid, dishonest, and self-serving people as the mainsteam media or this board. (Some people, of course, fit into more than one category.)

And why do you categorize anyone who wants to aggressively fight terrorism as a fascist?

Those assumptions make you look like the liberal counterpart of a mindless xenophobic jingoist.

Maybe when you say "your positions and actions fit the defintion exactly" you should state specifically to whom you are referring.

I find all of the accusations inaccurate and extremely offensive. And at least one of them sounds more like a description of you liberals, who are in favor of giving more powers to the government.

Nice try. You blew it after a few good, intelligent sentences.

Put in another quarter and try again, without the blanket name-calling, Fred.
 
Keys said my earlier posts were "not very progressive." I pointed out I had never claimed to be a progressive. When I first criticized AAR on this board, I was called a "conservative." Apparently some people filter everything through the prism of ideology.

I did not say all non-liberals were fascists. I specifically mentioned Goldwater and Buckley as true conservatives (and I have admired their writings). I do not consider libertarians fascists either.

I don't consider many in talk radio or on this board who call themselves "conservatives" to be true conservatives. Conservatism, as I have read it, is not an authoritarian philosophy,

As an individual of Irish descent, I am forced to consider "terrorism" as sometimes a necessary response to an intolerable situation. I also notice that terrorism is label only applied to others.

Were Tecumseh, Cochise, Sitting Bull and other American Indian leaders terrorists, too?
How about Nat Turner?
If the word had been in use back then, probably a lot of people in London would have applied it to the guy on the one dollar bill.

Authoritarian politicians always need an enemy to justify their attempts to take or use greater power. They don't have communists to be the designated villain any more, so they have adopted "terrorists."

I have not listened to Savage much but I consider Rush more of an entertainer and a pitchman for the GOP party line. Originally, he did seem more of conservative (a lot of Buchanan supporters liked him at first), more thoughtful and less prone to cheap shots at the enemy.

Originally, true conservatives favored individual initiative over government solutions; liberals wanted government to solve problems (and still do). However, the current crop of neo-cons - by their actions - favors a strong government - especially a strong central government - and most especially a strong executive branch. They use government to promote business, restrict competition, encourage certain kinds of trade and develop infrastructure (all traditions going back to Hamilton and Clay). And neo-cons claim the "commander in chief" has almost unlimited authority, does not require a declaration of war, and can ignore treaties and international law. Neo-cons pushed through the Patriot Act and endorse warrantless searches and wiretaps. Neo-cons have taken control of public education away from the states and with No Child Left Behind and other measures have enforced federal control of education. Right now, the two major political camps in this country both push for giving more powers to the government; the only choice left between them is whose ox does each propose to gore.

The problem with Black Talk radio is that it is labeled as "Black." I don't understand why everything has to have the black label when it comes to any type of black-owned or black-targeted entity. There is "Black Gospel" which is sort of a hypocrisy statement since the Gospel is for everyone, not just "Black." There is Black Entertainment Television, Black Talk, the Black Caucus, etc. I can't see how the black race can advance as long as they stay locked up and segregated in their own the world. Salem Talk Show host Mike Gallagher recently devoted a full hour on this subject and he doesn't understand why there is a Miss Black America Pageant and Black Entertainment Television. He thought the the TV show "Survivor" effort of creating teams by race was as absurd as all this Black labeling. I agree with Gallagher when he stated that everyone should focus on being Americans and become a colorblind society.

It is a great thing to see the rise of Black Americans who have a conservative mindset and are leaving the civil rights plantation. However, we don't need another black movement called Black Conservatives or Black Republicans. I never heard Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity labeling themselves as a White Conservative or a White Republican. Recently, I heard Walter Williams substituting on Rush Limbaugh's show. The first hour was great because he was discussing the issues of the day. However, the second hour featured Juan Williams as a guest and the topic was the moral state of the black community. Although this may be an important topic, I don't think this hour was particularly entertaining to loyal Rush's listeners because it only focused on a certain portion of America. I believe the reason that Larry Elder is one of few black hosts on conservative talk radio is because his show is not about race but about the issues important to America. Hopefully, Black conservatives will become a vital part of the America conservative movement and not become just another Black movement.
 
I am forced to agree.
There is a double standard in this country.
Blacks, women, Hispanics, gays and other groups are allowed discriminatory and exclusionary practices and hate speech on the grounds that only Whites can be racists; only men can be sexists.
But apparently some people feel the antidote for discrimination is more discrimination.
Sorry, if something is wrong, it's wrong whoever does it.

Well, except for the government.
One definition of crime: The ruled assuming the perogatives of the rulers.
