Liberal talk radio... anyone ever listen?

Pat isn't that liberal, she is ok. I don't think the station is available in the Portland area is it? Airhead America got dumped a long time ago.

I listen to Pete Dommick on POTUS on occasion. His show is called Stand UP . He is a self admitted pretty far to the left liberal...
He can be entertaining even though I don't agree with him and when he has voices from the other side he is usually respectful and does not shout them down in typical liberal commentator fashion ,or at least I have not heard him do it. He is unabashedly liberal but certainly not like Sharpton, Maddow ,Schultz (sargent)or any of those other MSNBC dolts.

Nope...don't listen. I get all the Libera/Socialist crap I can take from every major media outlet, newspapers, movies, TV etc.

Are you kidding? Even the liberals don't listen to liberal talk radio. It has so few listeners that they can't afford to keep it on the air.

I use to occasionally listen to Air America talk show host Mike Malloy because he hates the US so much, it was strangely entertaining. Sort of like going into a side show and looking at 'the talk shot host that hates the US'. He actually has a nightly show online only radio show that i have tuned in. I think his wife is from Maine but i am not positive, he has some sort of connection with Maine.

Mike Malloy

I have listened at different times, but only for short periods. I have yet to hear a liberal talk radio show where the host isn't either deadly dull, seething with rage, content to ignore facts, content to spew propaganda - or any combination thereof.

I listened for three hours last June to research my guest appearance the next day on the Thom Hartmann Show to discuss the Supreme Court decision striking down matching funds to Clean Election candidates. They decided that a libertarian Republican represented the "other side" for balance. It is simulcast on a syndicated radio network and over Al Gore's cable TV network. His views were way out there but I found him charming. He came across as a leftwing version of Glenn Beck. But advance research paid off because knowing in advance what he would say I was able to get my points across in words he uses and he couldn't bully me.

Here's the video clip:

Someone must have been watching or listening because there was a spike on Amazon for the next 24 hours of sales of my book!

I listened today. Not to the commercially unviable feed (I like Mike Malloy) but the canvas tote supported NPR feed. I think it was KTU out of Austin, TX, which had a rockin' rock program right before a subhosted "Fresh Air with(out) Terry (very) Gross", who seems to be on some kind of sabaticle because she's never there. Today's guest was an "investigative reporter" named Grable (there are investment banker Grables around Camden Harbor) who presented his case for a positively fairy tale conclusion of the impact of the Bush/Obama stimuli . . his book is titled "Money Well Spent".

" . . my guest appearance the next day on the Thom Hartmann . . " There's the rub with progressive thinking. Thom Hartmann is a smart guy who does his homework. He does a first rate job of presenting facts and history before he falls head first down the stairs when he comes to conclusions. I listen to learn two things: The truth and how not to bend it.

Ken on WGAN is all the liberal talk radio I can handle.

Randi Rhodes on The Pulse (103.1 in Dover-Foxcroft) is a real piece of work. She was on the old Air America network and was suspended for calling Hillary Clinton a bleeping whore, among other things.

Apollo, I know Pat personally and she really is that liberal. But I can tell you her liberalism comes from a deep passion for helping people, even if it is something of a hero complex fueled by her desire for the attention and love she never got from her father, who abandoned her family when she was young. Whatever the underlying cause of each individual's affliction, though, most liberals truly believe that it is government's job to fix society's ills, not recognizing that we ARE the government, and that behavior that is rewarded is going to be repeated, one of those unfortunately uncontrovertable truths of human behavior...

Randi Rhodes is a piece of work, I agree. WVOM was radio silence yesterday so I flipped down to 103.1 to see what was being spooged out... was not disappointed. It was Randi Rhodes. Funny, she sounds articulate and informed... but yet so utterly WRONG in just about every "fact" she spewed, lol. It's amazing that people can be so smart and so dumb at the same time. It's frightening that there are so many out there just like her.

What I dislike the most about the format of the station, though, other than the fact that it is liberally bent, is that there are seldom opportunities to call in. I would expect more from a local station trying to generate local interest in national politics. It seems there are really very few callers. I don't recall ever hearing the listener line number being announced on Pat's morning show, either. I'd love to call in some day :) THAT would be FUN!

SKF, have you ever called in to 103.1?

America sucks, everybody owes me a living and most people are too damn stupid to understand that.

Liberal Talk Radio in a nutshell.

I listen to liberal talk radio occasionally, but I can only take so much of Rush Limbaugh, so I have to turn it off.

Almost without exception, everyone I know who says they don't listen to Limbaugh and can't stand him or his message...admits they have never heard him!

Typical Liberal/Socialist condemnation of something they know nothing about except that it may disagree with their imperial ideas.

I must confess that I used to be a liberal...I did eventually come to my senses but it took a liberal college professor to make that happen... surprised? "How did THAT happen," you may be asking. Well, my sociology professor had been facing challenges to some of his uber-liberal suppositions from one of the more conservative students in the class. In response, the professor challenged the students to listen to 5 hours each of liberal and of conservative talk radio per month and then we would come together again and discuss perspectives and opinions, which made the most sense, and whether you felt influenced by the pundits. Well, I jumped on board, fully expecting to loathe conservative talk radio... and for a while I was right. At the time, Rush was really the only widely available radio talk show host so I listened to him and found him to be such a pompous, bombastic, inflammatory angry white dude i had ever heard, and I found myself filled with white-hot hate for him instantly... at the same time, I was listening to a liberal talk radio host whose name I no longer recall. After listening to the two, and after learning how to read between the lines of what Rush was saying (in other words, ignoring the more obnoxious stuff like the self-aggrandizement, etc), I found far more social validity in the conservative viewpoint, much to my prof's chagrin and quite counter to his intention, may I add... From that assigment, I found myself reconstructing my own values and social understandings and emerged from college a conservative... quite the unlikely conversion, don't you think?

I listen to him occasionally, but can only take him in small doses since one he gets on a train, he doesn't get off until the horse is dead and dog food. For this reason I consider him more left of my views. Same thing with Glenn Beck, when he gets on a rant, I have to turn him off because he just gets stupid.

I simply cannot listen to the Glen Beck show what with the over-the-top emotional outbursts and the high school like inane laughing and over-talking each other. They sound like a room full of 6 year-olds.
