Hedgecock Op-Ed: The Left Scheming To Shut Down Talk Radio

[ropertex]

Even the liberal talkers that do exist on radio can be just as (or more) vicious than Rush and gang. I've never heard Hannity or Glenn Beck advocate pulling someone's beating heart out and stomping on it, and I've never even heard Michael Savage say that the president should be taken out on a fishing boat and shot in the head.

I know it's not popular to say around here, but there is plenty of hateful liberal talk out there. Even on radio.

No "liberal" host ever said Bush should be shot.

When Bush was trying to give the Social Secuirty trust fund to his Wall Street buddies, AIR America ran a bumper where the announcer said: "A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn't safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here's your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of four gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. "
Drudge, World Net Daily,
and talk radio all reported that Randi Rhodes had called for the president to be shot.

Here is Glenn Beck "seriously" talking about poisoning Speaker Pelosi

Steyn does sound Australian; interestingly enough from what I've read he was born in Toronto, educated in the UK, and is a Canadian citizen now living in N.H.--so where does the Aussie-
sounding accent come from? Pronounces prez's name as "Be-rack Oh-behhmerr"

I haven't been listening all that often to Rush's show of late, but did catch a bit of Doug Urbanski. I'd agree with you, he's nothing that great. He's definitely not on the level of Paul W.Smith or Roger Hedgecock, or even the Australian sounding host (don't remember his name) that Rush has used lately. Maybe Rush has decided to use lesser quality fill in hosts so he'd be missed more, as I said before, I preferred his show, before with the fill in hosts they were getting more than elRushbo.

I'd like to hear Snerdly fill in one day. He always seems to have interesting thoughts that he's continuously pumping into Rush's headset (that Rush dare not let us ever hear from Snerdly's mouth itself so he filters it and gives us what Rush says Snerdly is saying - maybe Bo has a future in talk and Rush doesn't want the competition from a former employee). When I used to listen to Glenn Beck's radio show over a year ago (Beck's too far out there, a conservative version of Keith Obermann) for my ear. I remember his side kick Stew, who did get a mic and quite often had better stuff to say than Beck. He seemed to be the "sane" one there thus was more believable and interesting to hear, again for my ear. I had wondered what the show would have been like if Stew (don't know his last name) was the host and Beck was retired.

Bo Snerdly's real name is James Golden who had a weekend show on WABC in the 90's.

Bo/James does appear occasionally on the show as the "official Obama criticizer"
