Today Randi is tearing down every single caller... Hate her today.

[Chicago Democrat]

Every single one... She is a bitch when she is like this.

She doesn't listen to callers. She sucks sometimes. Like today.

Its like she's in a bad mood and interrupts every single sentence on every caller...

She yelling at every caller about voter fraud, even liberals, insulting them and us...

She has an abusive on air pesonality, and it only works if she can control it! Today she is out of control.

[Chicago Democrat]

1. Its the screaming not listening randi radio hour. -nt

[NightTrain]

2. I just logged on to the webcast at around 6:30.

So far, Randi has taken three calls, two of them from conservatives who did nothing more than repeat right-wing talking points. If that's any indication of who's calling Randi today, I don't blame her for tearing them down!

[Chicago Democrat]

8. Ok ill try to remember them...

The women who called her and was gonna take out the full page add. She always denigrates any use of religion. She was rude to her for no good reaon. but that was no big deal really.

Oh, the NM Voting woman... Actually Doing the recount in New Mexico... Randi now is like "no more on air fund raising, cause I don't know you from Adam" What now just because Bev Harris was indimidated by the Randi and had a bad interview? Then she questions why we even are recounting NM? That pissed me off. All recounts are important.

Then the guy "traveling thru Texas" who voted in NC , she totally wasnt listening right from the start and starts rattling off. Like she just inserts a tape and does her Texas and Delay spiel... Meanwhile the guy is from NC. You know... We all know about the texas thing... but her she wastes 5 minutes that they could have been actually talking .... YOu know like listening... and Responding...


I enjoy randi... I might forward these to her.. but her site is down

After the Texas guy... She got better about listening...But all in all I can tell when she's in a bad mood. and Today Randi is in a bad mood. And the show suffers.

3. I like Randi...

though today the callers have been definitely loopy. Who's screening them?

[Chicago Democrat]

4. Maybe that's it..The last Florida conservative caller she handled well.

It works so well if she lets them talk and really listens with some fuckin patience!

But she jumps them too soon and its just not good radio.

You're right the screener could do better.

5. The calls have been duds...

And I think Randi is still ticked off about yesterday. :nuke:

[NightTrain]

6. Ticked off about yesterday? What happened then?

Unfortunately, I missed Randi yesterday, so could you elaborate a bit? Thanks!

[hlthe2b]

7. "I think Randi is still ticked off about yesterday" yeah, I think so!

[Chalco]

9. I was listening earlier and she was great... n/t

[Stew225]

10. If you missted her yesterday, as I did,

you and I are sol since the hour she argued with Bev Harris of BBV.org has been banned from our listening pleasure by a combination of AAR, BBV.org, and DU minders.

13. Guys calm down, everyone was pissed before because she stopped...

...talking about the recount! . You got to remember, that it's thanks to Randi that there's even this much attention being paid to Ohio and the recount. Compared to most of the other DJ's at Air America, she can completely shuts down most freepers that call in, where others shoot themselves in the foot or plain refuse to put their calls on the air.

Plus, as far as Bev goes, and her being "overworked and overwhelmed", that's a bunch of BS cuz a bunch of us offered to volunteer for free. BEv has a long history of pulling this kind of stuff going back to her days selling Clinton Cigars.

My feeling is we should all be glad Randi's talking about the vote problems again and we have a good DJ, not a celebrity acting like a DJ, on our side.

[chaska]

11. That woman is absolutely unlistenable.

[BrklynLiberal]

12. I really love her, but there ARE days she needs to up her meds. n/t

[cliss]

14. Would you believe.....

She is one of the highest-rated talk show hosts on Air America Radio. I heard that Al Franken is #1 in ratings, and Randi comes in at 2nd (correct? I thought that's what I heard).

Just call her Estrogen Randi nowadays.

PS I have so much respect for Randi. She's the voice for all of us who do not agree with the misguided policies of this country.

However, for her own sake and the sake of her supporters, she should cultivate a more philosophical, long-term outlook. + she should be nicer to Tim, who puts up with too much!

[rabbit2484]

15. I've never cared much for her

because of that. I've never thought that she gives callers a chance. She is starting to become the equivalent, but opposite of course, of O'Reilly in my eyes. Control Freak.

[nascarblue]

16. i agree, but still I think it's real important to have pros doing the left

side. Franken and Sam and Janeane are not so great as DJ's, and make for lots of aggravation. WHere Randi and Mike Malloy are great technical DJ's. THey handle the cutaways correctly, they don't interrupt the interviewees constantly, etc. SO that's why I stand up for Randi. SHe's really the only one with the balls to really focus on the vote fraud. Franken never does. It's because I believe he has political aspirations and he doesn't want to rock the boat.

17. I stopped listening for that reason.

I couldn't take her abuse of callers.
