over Clinton, he was screwing Calista, while his wife was unaware. He begged his wife #2 not to divorce him, to "go along" with his cheating. According to him, "Calista is fne with it" Now the adulterous Calista is in line for the job of ambassador to the Vatican!!. What a fine example of the "best and brightest" Well, in tRump's America, I suppose adultery is small change, after all he has cheated on all 3 of his own wives. No big deal. Gingrich always looks as though he is holding back a loud BURP.

what's STILL kicking our ass.

at a cheap $1000/hr x 15hrs/day x 5 = $75,000/wk x 1200 stations rw talk radio is worth $18MIL/day or 390MIL$ /month or 4.68 BIL$/ year FREE for coordinated global warming denial, pro republican free market deregulation and wall st think tank propaganda, swiftboating, and the hate and fear used to get people to vote republican.

yet we can't even poll for 'talk radio' and instead blame fox, money in politics, media consolidation, etc., all symptoms of ignoring talk radio for 30 years while it made 'geniuses' of lying hipocritical hacks like gingrich and rove, put bush and trump in the white house, and obstructed action on global warming for 30 years.

You are pretty much 100 percent correct.

But the problem is that AM radio is a very natural medium for the brain washing that the right uses - repetitive, droning in a hypnotic way, angry, creating a divisive us vs them mentality in a way that it blows them as as "true patriots" and "good christians" who are resolute and self reliant while making them out to be victims. Everything is boiled down to one or two word phrases - constitution, states rights, founding fathers, simple easy to understand and sugar high on patriotism and that great, awesome time back then ...

That all works to open up and expose the lesser aspects of the human spirit.

What we are looking for - progress, equality, the common good just does not play as well.

It is boring in facts and policy, it is hard because issues are complex and you have to really talk them out to understand them it does not stir up the emotion as much as fighting against some boogyman.

not continuing to give them a free speech free ride.

they built subsidized and have aggressively protected their media monopoly - it's like expecting mom and pop to compete with wall mart.

they put a bunch of carnival barker racist liars on every corner and stump in 40 states with 80 senators, screaming liberals are thieves, whores, and traitors all day long and liberals just walked by.

it needs to be polled, monitored so it can be analyzed for patterns, and read (like the russians have probably been doing).

all advertisers on rw radio stations need to be boycotted.

stationsneed to be protested when they lie about our candidates and issues - which is always

and the universities and pro teams that broadcast sports on those stations to help them attract advertisers need to be protested until they start looking for apolitical alternatives

if progressive orgs want to get GOP's attention and scare the crap out of them as they oppose trumpcare etc., they need to start paying attention to rw radio.

Instead of defining him as "That frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex," could we use the web to highlight Newt's hypocrisy, infidelity and making partisan politics an on-going shit-storm?

Any ideas?

you an abject lesson in your fucking BS.

Daniel Ellsberg, since your suppose to be some fucking "History Professor", go back and take a fucking gander on what your republican president (Nixon) and his operatives did in the Pentagon Papers, and how a sitting president went after a dissident during that BS called Vietnam, do you think when he (Nixon) was sitting across the table with Halderman plotting that he wasn't breaking the law, when it came to Ellsberg?

And as and added enjoyment lets go to Mother Jones and your Vietnam experience, or should I mention Ron Paul;

Plus THEY/WE have the right position, positions that would win elections.

But democrats just seem to have no idea how to win enough elections.. Call out the lies and hypocracies (spell?) and distortions each and every time they occur.. EVERY FREAKIN' TIME.

Stop with the polls nonsense...tell the truth and call the fuckers out LOUD, LOUD and CLEAR and 25/8..
Stop campaigning with 'position papers' speeches.


GO FOR THE GUT !!!!

because that is what they really are. Hypocrite is just not quite as ugly sounding as LIAR.

Someone should be saying "Newt, are you lying now or were you lying then?" Because one of those things is true.

waddle off the stage. What makes the gop failures think they should be on TV constantly? Why do they think they are so superior? Is he still trying to get the adulterous Calista the ambassadorship to the Vatican?
