An Idea for Calling out Coast to Coast on its Conservative Ties
Edited on Tue May-04-10 09:35 AM by NJCher
What if we started a blog where we regularly exposed their conservative remarks, guests, and positions that we hear people like George Noory take? The name of the blog would reflect the purpose of the blog.

Saul Alinksy, the well-known progressive activist who gave us "Rules for Radicals," points out that ridicule is an effective weapon. In fact, ridicule is one of the rules.

I think there are enough people who listen right here on this board that we could have regular contributions. I know I was totally disgusted when I heard this guy David Kupelian from WorldNetDaily, who appeared in the last few days. How many times this month do we have to hear from writers at the WorldNetDaily, a joke of a web site if there ever was one. They started the month off with Jerome Corsi and ended it with this Kupelian fool. I would have loved to have had an outlet for ridicule about some of the things he said, particularly about the "hard left."

Then we could work on getting the site known. We could go to the various forums and chat rooms and mention our blog. The liberals there, if there are any, would jump on it. Pretty soon it might be enough that they would mitigate their comments.

They have been getting some press in the last few months. I think Atlantic Monthly did an article on them and so did one of the news weekly magazines, if I remember correctly. If the blog got enough attention, these writers might mention it and people would be more aware of their conservative influence.

It has gotten so bad in the last month that I have to wonder if a dictum hasn't come down from their conservative owners to put on more conservative guests.

1. Funny I was thinking along similar lines for a website or blog
that prints the facts and truths out whenever one of those crooks opens his lying mouth. It could be satirical in tone as well kind of like the Betty Bowers website.

2. I think the name of the blog is in your subject line "Calling Out Coast to Coast"
I'm not a listener but I have heard George before when he had on sensible guests. I thought wow this guy is pretty good. Then I found out he has Teabaggers on regularly :puke: I reevaluated my opinion about George pretty quickly.


Good idea Cher :evilgrin:

3. Do you truly wish to stick your head so very deep into their poisons?
The energy has changed. Their negativity is now working against them; we no longer have to beat our heads against them, or to despair when our positive actions have no effect.

You can certainly do this if you wish, and it will aid in their downturn, but you can also spend that same time pursuing your joy, and bringing that joy into the world energy field :)

4. I like it
I just can't listen to those guests and often start fussing at my husband to turn them off if one is on. But I would certainly frequent the web site.
