Haven't we seen this topic at least 5 times from you, Raysia? Yes, we know that you like Tony Snow, Larry Elder, and conservative talk show hosts in general... :roll:

Oh that's easy....Randi Rhodes is by far my favorite of those currently having a national audience. Mike Malloy is by far the best but he's no longer national. Thom Hartman is pretty good.

Ronn Owens, but he is local. Actually the only talk radio I listen to on a regular basis is local. Though I do occassionaly catch Air America when a freind of mine comes online and invariably begins to chat about it.

Randi Rhodes for now, although Janeane Garofalo is catching up--she's gotten pretty good real quickly at the whole radio gig.

Sean Hannity<----- Never heard of him
Michael Savage<---- all flash no substance
Rush Limbaugh<---- Proven liar, idiot , and drug abuser
Tony Snow? <---- never heard of him
Bill O'Reilly?<---- over simplifys and panders to the trailor park conservative
Al Franken,---- To reactionary, his books are good, but his radio persona needs some work
Jeneanne Gorafalo<---- A goddess and the salvation of America, if people would get over the fact that she is both a woman and an actress/comedian and listen to her message the world would be a better place
Randy Rhodes?<---- never heard of him
Larry Elder? [b]<---- I disagree with a lot that he has to say, but I liek his views on race.
Lars Larson?<---- No idea who he is
Laura Ingraham?<---- Could be the devil
The problem with most all of these people is that they are to far to one extreme or another, and it is not done for the betterment of the US, or to educate the American people, it is done to cash in on the fact that politics has just become another form of entertainment and sports for the American people. They are the pro-wrestlers of this new, and degraded age of American politics.

Not because he has a point but because I enjoy watching the hypocratic arguments of someone who claims to remove the spin.....How can you tell when he's spinning or not? How do you know he isn't thinking objectively? Is it simply because he doesn't always share your viewpoints? He doesn't share the viewpoints of a lot of conservatives either...
Compared to a lot of other shows, he is relatively spin-free.

Because one as a human can tell when another raises an 'opinion'. Opinion is a form of spin. Besides, conservatism is rank in his arguments....

Ok.
Fine.
Heres the first...and there can be more if you truly want them.
#1.
In an effort to trumpet the validity and effectiveness of school vouchers.
Hannity used a book that chronicles a remarkable success story about one of americas most troubles school districts.
"The Miracle in East Harlem."
"Small, innovative public schools having just a little more freedom than traditional schools,has paid such a big and valuable dividends in the lives if children and their parents..."- Sean Hannity.
The problem?
No school vouchers were ever used in this district.
Want more?

Dont change the facts.
Hannity was deliberately trying to trumpet the effectiveness of school vouchers by touting this very district, and this very book..AS IF THE DISTRICT HAD INDEED USED SCHOOL VOUCHERS.
they didnt.
That makes this kind of lie rather sneaky..you want more?
I got lots.

14-05-2004, 09:07
Heres another..
This ones not quite a lie, so much as it just makes Hannity look stupid.
On page 205, of his book He states:
"Decades of Liberal no-growth policies have have seriously endangered our ecenomic and national security."
Except.....
President Clinton presided over the longest economic exspansion in the history of the country.

Those arent lies.
Moore IS a documentary film maker.
The Patriot Act IS seriously encroaching upon our Rights as gievn to us by the founding Fathers...
A baby ISNT a fetus.....that too is opinion.

Yawn, someone is getting testy. Fetus is latin for an unborn baby you know... Using the word baby was bad for business, so abortion marketing changed it. Abortion is a multi-million dollar industry you know, they're not just doing it so "poor oppressed women can have reproductive choices". What is the legal definition of being alive in the U.S.? Brain activity and a heartbeat, both of which are detectable between the first and second months of pregnancy.
What i'm trying to say is... information is subjective, whether or not something is true in my eyes or your eyes is a matter of chance. If my side lies, so does yours. If mine is honest, so is yours. So, you can be a liar fighting liars, or an honest man fighting other honest men, which do you prefer?
Quit trying to pretend like your shit doesn't stink.

Actually.
More Conservatives lie openly than do Liberals.
This is not to say that Liberals DONT lie openly.....of course they do.
Simply put, more Conservative public figures, can be proven to be liars.
Who can really say why this is..but its true.
Is one side better than the other?
No. Not really.
Conservative lies are just easier to point out, as oppossed to having to resort to personal opinion to validate who's lying.
Example.
Billl O'Reilly says "Im an Independant"
No..Hes a registered Republican.
as opposed to a person saying "Ive never killed a baby"...after getting an abortion.
Big difference, but the latter is subject to opinion, while the other is not.

Another Big lie shattered to pieces this week:
"There is no Iraq-Al-Qaeda connection"You want to know the really disgusting thing about this?
The only connection between Iraq and al Qaeda before the war was the existence of Ansar al Islam in the northern no fly zone, outside the control of Saddam Hussein. The US had no fewer than 3 opportunities to take out the leader of Ansar al Islam and yet refused. Why? Because having him there bolstered the weak case for war in Iraq.
Now remember--there was no connection between Hussein's Iraq and al Qaeda. There was only the existence of a group in a part of Iraq that the US controlled and that the US refused to do anything about while it had the chance.
And now, apparently, this group has committed an atrocious act in the beheading of a US citizen. (I say apparently because there's a conspiracy theory out and about now that may or may not have made it here yet. I tend to discount it, but it's out there nonetheless.)
But the overall point is this: whatever connection exists currently between al Qaeda and Iraq exists only because the Bush administration allowed it. They had the chance to keep Ansar al Islam isolated or even to wipe it out, and yet refused because they wanted to use a bogus connection as "evidence" for war. And now it's biting them in the ass.
