Why Is Right-Wing Talkradio obsessed by AA?

Bigot Problem
You are beyond belief or help. Once again, 954, our mouthpiece for the extreme right is wrong. I wouldn't exactly call you fair and balanced on anything! Savage discussing the Jewish dietary laws doesn't mean anything. Bring me a trascript of what he said. For all I know you were enjoying him denegrading Jewish dietary laws. Savage hides his Jewishness so not to offend his far right extremist Christian bigot audience.
If Michael Medved or Dennis Prager make the antisemitic remarks that Michael Savage has, I would get on them too. That has nothing to do with politics. You are such a far right winger that you can't see the forrest through the trees. You put politics before everything. You defend antisemites like Michael Savage because he's a right wing extremist like yourself. You are no better than Savage. What kind of person defends Savage, who says antisemitic things like calling Jewish talk show host Jerry Springer "hook-nosed," attacked a fictional ACLU lawyer named "Mark Nobodyberg," and referred to Sen. Joseph Lieberman as "throwing his bagel into the ring" of the presidential campaign. Those are just 3 examples of his antisemitism that he is allowed to spew on the radio.
You are mucb worse than Branson.

He didn't rip it off. It was a pot shot at O'Reilly & Fox's attempt to sue him over his book. You know the same goup of people who tried to sue the Simpson's creators a year and a half ago or so for their creative take on the Fox News Ticker in an episode<P ID="signature">______________

The first talk radio host anywhere was liberal Barry Gray in New York.
Miami had four English-language talkers in the early 80's, well before Rush went national or even did call-in shows on a consistent basis. WNWS was virtually all-left all-the-time in those days, before Steve Kane and Al Rantel converted to conservatives to save their careers. Larry King rose to national distribution from there, and while his interviews were largely apolitical,
in open-phone segments he was no right-winger. In fact, there was concern when he went national in 1978 about how well a Miami liberal would go over in the Bible Belt where Mutual had many affiliates.
Alan Berg was certainly a liberal and might have been "the" host to go national, instead of Rush, had he not been gunned down by neo-Nazis in 1984.
Most top 50 markets had full time talk stations by the early 1980s. The smaller cities were waiting for a "cheap" way to do talk, which satellite became in the mid-80s as dishes and time went down in price. They were also afraid of liberals, even after King's success, so their first choice of talk host in any event would have been conservative, whether or not there had been a Rush.
If anything, Rush's rise stifled liberal talk, as many hosts who had been liberals either converted (insincerely) to conservatism or got out of the business.

When did I claim to be objective? My opinion of Air America is just that - my opinion. If you think Rush Limbaugh and the other conservative hosts are 90% hooey, you're also entitled to your opinion. I respect your views even though I don't agree with them.
And while I'm a Limbaugh fan, I don't have a high opinion of most of the other conservative hosts either, especially Savage and the Salem bunch.

I guess that would make you, me and everyone else in this thread obsessed. In fact using your logic, anyone who responds more than once to someone else would be obsessed. Do you consider yourself obsessed?<P ID="signature">______________

Re: Why is Leftist Talk Radio Obsessed With Hating Rush, Hannity, Savage, O'Reilly, et al?
It is not surprising that libtalkers attack rightwing talkers. Afterall, the right still dominates the talk radio scene. They have about 15 to 1 advantage in ratings and in the top markets a 3 to 1 advantage in stations. What is surprising is why right wing talkers like O'Reilly and Limbaugh even mention liberal talk. When you are number one the best thing to do is ignore the competition.

Yeah you know because non obsessive groups typically go around suing someone for a pot shot taken in a book, or sue television creators of their own network for taking pot shots at them as well in an ANIMATED tv show....<P ID="signature">______________

Here's a novel idea for you to try - address your posts to people in the industry and the topics at hand rather than weak attempts at attacking fellow posters.

Harold Dole on WKAT
> Miami had four English-language talkers in the early 80's,
And WKAT was talk in the 1960s-70s, with all liberals plus
Harold Dole as the token conservative.
Ironically WKAT is again conservative talk, but now owned by Salem.
I was mostly listening to classical WTMI back then.
Who were the 4 1980s talkers?
