Calling All Wingnuts

Hannity started his show today by playing some clips of him calling into a WABC program (I dunno whose).  The host had Alec Balwin on…  Hannity called in with Mark Levin to harass Baldwin.
If I have the sequence correct, this is what happened:
Baldwin called Hannity a bunch of names, Hannity and Levin hung up, Baldwin went […]

So Jim Brady at the Washington Post is intent on hiring another conservative blogger. He’s completely ignored the honest criticism he’s received from his readers, opting instead to tell us all to go fuck ourselves…
So you’ll start seeing calls for his head throughout the blogosphere.
call me defeatist, call me crazy… naysayer… whatever…
but this isn’t Dan […]

I called the Mayor of Albany this morning.  He’s got his own radio show and we’ve gone round and round in the past.  He’s an old-school politician and extremely talented at what he does.  I don’t know of very many politicians willing to take calls (and criticism) on a radio show that reaches their entire […]

Bush.
Liar. Cynical and disgusting. Loathsome.
I referenced these snippetts in the Hugh Hewitt call two posts previous. Here’s the text from the White House web site:
I just got to keep talking. And one of the — there’s word of mouth, there’s blogs, there’s Internet, there’s all kinds of ways to communicate which is […]

Earlier in the show, he was discussing the Christains that were rescued today.  More to the point, he was questioning whether or not coalition forces should expend resources to rescue people that were going to be ungrateful and didn’t appreciate the mission.
Ha.  For a second there, I thought he was talking about the Iraqi people.
So […]

I’ve got to provide some context for this one.
Immediately previous to taking my call, Hewitt ran some audio of Bush doing a town hall in West Virginia. He ran two clips: in the first George Bush talked about the wonderful job he and Congress was doing in providing the troops with everything they […]

Hannity put cretins like this on the air…  I don’t listen to Savage because even I can’t tolerate the sewage that comes out of his mouth…  but it looks like his ideas are spreading as the die-hards get more and more desperate…
“I hope their children are raped…”
How does a person say something like that?  And […]

is learning that there is an America out here undergoing a sea-change in attitude.  Fewer and fewer of us are content to say, “All politicians suck…  politics doesn’t matter…  there’s nothing I can do about it…  it doesn’t effect my life…  they are all the same.”
More and more, people are realizing that their lives have […]

Congresswoman Louise Slaughter was on NPR’s OnPoint this morning.  I really encourage you to listen to the whole thing - her work is important.  I just wish she was as effective at follow-through as she is at raising the alarm.  Instead, she’s like a firefighter standing next to a fire extinguisher saying the stove is on fire but […]

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t really completely understand the appeal of this site… most of my calls are just two partisans arguing about the issues of the day. You can see that on any cable tv channel.
Sure, every now and then I’ll catch hold of something truly noxious and […]
