Rude Pundit and I co-hosting a radio show? Be afraid. Be very afraid.

[stevenleser]

Rudie and I are trying out our first full collaboration this Thursday night at 7pm Eastern time live on Blogtalkradio.

A portion, no doubt with censor bleeps, will be broadcast during my regularly scheduled KCAA 1050am slot the following Monday at 2pm Pacific time in the Los Angeles basin.

Stay tuned for more details...

[90-percent]

20. thanks Steve

I really appreciate your palling around with us DU proles. Esp. when some of your stuff gets an uncivil response from some of us. I'm internet connected with famous people!

Shouldn't you get a token conservative just to be "fair and balanced?" Thom Hartmann goes 2 to 1 debating conservatives on his show!

And I have great respect for your restraint on your Fox appearances. I generally have great self control, but I would go postal doing what you do over there.

Looking forward to it. The Rude One is the Frank Zappa of progressive pundits!

21. We're still playing around with the show format. We definitely will have guests going forward...

But we will have conservative guests on.

29. Very cool!

[riqster]

30. Coolness.

[LiberalLovinLug]

31. Should be interesting, two people on the same show, after the Brian Williams interview with Snowden

that have vastly different views of truth telling. Someone who is not afraid of the truth, like the Rude Pundit, who compares Snowden to Thoreau:

The Snowden on NBC was not some dupe or naif. He merely exists in a long line of Americans who had enough of what their government was doing and decided to behave accordingly. Lacking the ability to revolt (like those law-breaking traitors, the Founders), he broke the law and engaged in civil disobedience, like unionized workers on an illegal strike, like civil rights lunch counter sitters, like bootleggers, like Vietnam War rioting protesters, like so many, right and wrong, in American history. When the Rude Pundit thinks about Snowden, he doesn't automatically leap to Martin Luther King, Jr. for comparison. Instead, he thinks about the canonized American writer Henry David Thoreau and his essay, "Civil Disobedience."

http://rudepundit.blogspot.ca/2014/05/grappling-with-edward-snowden-part-1.html



And, you know, someone who is afraid of the truth:

When you examine all of this, I think that anyone who still finds Snowden credible needs to have their heads examined.

Edward Snowden wins the award for worst and most shameful nonsense of the week.

[stevenleser]

32. LMAO!

Not self serving of you at all... just characterize anyone who disagrees with you as being afraid of the truth

That's pretty pathetic rhetoric, you know that, right? An 8 year old could come up with that.

"You disagree with me, so you are afraid of the truth. nyah nyah nyah..."

If you are going to try to insult me, at least come up with something mature and interesting. Don't bore me with infantile characterizations.

[IrishAyes]

33. Have a heart, Steven! Maybe that's the best he can do, poor child.

He might also realize the obvious, that he's out of his depth.

[littlemissmartypants]

37. Or has no depth at all. eom

[LiberalLovinLug]

40. Brilliant straw man there

Its simple really, no need to get more "mature and interesting", especially since you didn't seem to get my gist.

Truth ie: facts revealed by Snowden that enlightened the American people

Rude Pundit: Supports Snowden, ie: supports truth telling

You: Do not, and are even one of the more vicious in your attacks against this whistleblower. ie: do not support truth telling

[1StrongBlackMan]

41. You realize confusing(?) ...

two, separate topics ... right?

And I doubt RP would agree with your assessment of SL.

[LiberalLovinLug]

42. I was simply ruminating

On what would happen if the topic ever came up between them.

Yeah I admit I was a little harsh on SL. Just get a little low on patience for NSA apologists.

[1StrongBlackMan]

43. You know there is ...

space in between where you fall and "NSA apologists", right?

[woo me with science]

44. [phone] Nailed it.

My immediate thoughts, exactly.

[Rex]

46. It's on an AM channel in LA?

[woo me with science]

47. Rude Pundit deserves better, anyway...

Bwah.

[octoberlib]

38. I like this! Can't wait to hear it.

[Quantess]

39. Sounds great!

[stevenleser]

45. All, don't miss the opportunity to call in and talk to us. See...
