New Low For Howie Carr !

O

Omnibus

Guest
A new low for Howie Carr.
During a discussion...if you can call anything Carr and his retrograde callers say as a discussion- of the bombing of Issis in Syria, Carr allowed the scumbag caller - a male who didn't speak English " to good.." call the President of The United States a "Son - of - a - Bitch...". Totally unacceptable. This scumbag tried to say that Obama was only bombing Issis to improve his ratings as if that matters anymore.

How about a little civility

We get it...

Anything Liberal on the radio is a "breath of fresh air".

Anything or anyone Conservative on the air, or criticizing this President is "a new low".

Whats wrong to suggest that a politician was doing something as a result of tanking polls?

Of course criticizing a Liberal President is unacceptable, right? (But bashing George Bush is/was totally called for, right?)

For someone who keeps saying he disdains Howie Carr and WRKO so much...you appear to listen to him a lot! ;-)
 
One listens to the ilk of howie carr and the dregs of humanity who call him as one reads a barometer. Stormy weather ahead.
 
Try NPR.

Caller:"I just wanted to say you're rude and disgusting and you don't deserve to be on the air."
Host: "I see.. and how often do you listen to me, caller?"
Caller:"Every day."
 
from The Rules:
>>Remember: everyone is coming to the table with different experiences that are their point of reference for why they believe what they do. That does not make them less of a human than anyone else for not believing or agreeing with you.

etc.
Hopefully Howie will continue to hit new lows, and now he can be the owner of these new lows (in the opinions of some, your mileage may vary), instead of Entercom. (Filled in for Levin again tonight, too)
 
Good, Howie can then continue to spew his venom to other like low lifes who would listen to Levin. Low life all who enjoy preaching to th choir of other inmates of their polluted institution.

Yawn. Yeah, we get it. YOu don't like Howie Carr. It's all about you. Conservatives are bad, Liberals are good. (Same old song, over and over again.)


For someone who is "over" and "done"...not bad to be filling in for a national host (numerous times) on Cummulus/ABC Radio!

You know what many on the left say...
if ya don't like it, change the station...

And if you really want to help out

extra donation and they'll send you
this handy tote bag.

Does the Salem State radio station send out tote bags?
 
Once Howie gets control of his show, so to speak, I wonder if these will reappear:
"The Immigrant Horn"--a car horn playing La Cucaracha, when talking about illegal immigrants (involved in car accidents etc)
"The Scondras Cough"--a tape of openly gay city councillor David Scondras coughing, when talking about gays
"Explosion"--Years ago Howie would play a tape of an explosion after a caller said something outrageous; aka "blowing them up". When the Okla. City bombing
happened, this discontinued. Stephanie Miller used to also use the sound effect. When something a caller said outraged her, she'd make a kind of sound indicating
she was disgusted, and the caller was "blown up"...

I posted on YouTube audio of Howie back in Aug of 1994, talking with the diver in the Chappaquiddick incident. They were broadcasting from the "party house" on the 25th
anniversary of Ted Kennedy's scandal. This was just before Howie and Rush got shifted to WRKO, and you can hear Jim Cutler announcing at the start-- "on WHDH...news talk
850..".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miAyUKStliM

(As Tommy James' Crystal Blue Persuasion played, Howie quips, "another bad song from 1969") Can't remember when Howie started exactly on radio, but I
recall him appearing with Jerry Williams in 88 at the Dem. National Convention; appearing with Barbara Anderson and Jerry as "the Governors" on Tue. afternoons with Jerry,
and filling in for Jerry.

For a time I recall Howie being on WRKO late mornings in an arrangement where he had two hours, liberal talk host Victoria Jones had two hours, and the two shared an hour.
Think WRKO fired him, maybe after an incident involving treatment of an intern? He wound up 3-6 pm on WHDH 850, produced by Kevin "Little Al" Straley and Doug "Virgin Boy"
Goudie (I think HDH had an exec named Al Mayers or something, and Kevin was nicknamed "Little Al" a la "Little Al" of auto racing--Al Unser Jr) In Sept of 94, around the time
of sending off WHDH with a toilet flush, Rush and Howie were sent to WRKO.
One other memory: I don't think Ray Flynn was much of a drinker, but Howie used to maybe allege he was by playing a bit of Flynn speaking, and in the background was
a jingling country-style piano from a TV commercial. Then the vocals came in: "If you've got the time, we've got the beer..." Flynn was later on WRKO Sat. afternoons.

Remember Andy Moes on RKO? Once he had Menino on and Andy asked the then-mayor about Ch 5's Don Gillis. Menino: "Who Don Gillis." (sic)

I think David Scondras is irrelevant to anyone at this point, why bother dragging that sfx back from the dead.

The horn.... ya that is compelling radio.

I will let you in on a little secret, I was a "doorman" at one of the most politically connected bars in Boston, where the Herald pressmen used to come in on their break inhale a couple of drinks, take a six pack to go and go back to print the paper.... and Ray Flynn was a "regular", and I can't ever recall him with a drink let alone drunk. I remember the night he came in after being nominated as Vatican Ambassador, we were all very happy for him.

I have a lot of respect for him and he is the only Democrat I ever donated campaign funds to..and I even had a Ray Flynn for Governor bumper sticker on my car...

He still uses “The Immigrant Horn”—I just heard it in the last week or two during a North Shore Police Blotter segment.
 
"Raybo" has written for the Herald for years and I respect him too; not sure why Howie was alleging he was a big drinker.
Howie for years ran tapes of Scondras calling the police, trying to get ahold of commish Bratton; the music bed was Juke
by blues harmonica legend Little Walter. Scondras got "a bad ice cube"...
 
Regarding Andy Moes - His first time behind the mic was as a fill in for Dick Syatt on WRKO in the 80's. The first thing Moes said was that he got the gig because he was "Bob Fish's Lover...". Macho man didn't react. Maybe, he was....?

Moes died of heart failure in late Jan. of 2001. One morning I was heading into Brookline to be on a cable TV taping with Dan Berman (now part of
Jordan Rich's movie/TV night panels) and WRKO listeners were mourning and remembering Moes (Peter Blute was co-host).
