Lying Liar Radio
By Matt Margolis | March 31, 2004
If you can’t beat them, join them…
Well, they can try right?
So thus begins the experimental “Liberal Talk Radio” the voice of the Democrat Party, funded of course, by rich Democrats…
So they’re calling it “Air America Radio” — that’s rich.
The golden boy of the new DNC Radio Network, Al Franken, must have had a whole class of Harvard students help him conjour up the line “We are flaming swords of justice … Bush is going down, he is going down, he is going down. And we’re going to help him,” while rallying a party of instant fans (”just add water”) last night.
Did anyone listen to it at all today? I heard a clip of it on real talk radio… and boy was it bad… It wasn’t even talking politics it was just really juvenile yapping…
I don’t give it too long… Of course, I fully expect the funders of this project to fund it as long as they can - even when it is clear it won’t be profitable. How else will they save face after all the time, money, hatred, and ignorance they invested in this.
I would like to ask one question though…
I’ve heard accusations from the left that Republicans “drape themselves in the flag,” so to speak.
I find it so curious that the Left criticizes conservatives for allegedly aligning “patriotism” with their ideals, and yet far left liberals get a pass for “draping themselves in ‘America’”.
Think about it.
Howard Dean has/had a website called “Dean For America” and on it, a blog called “Blog For America” (which is now called “Democracy for America” - which is another topic for another time.)
This Commie Radio Network as well, is doing the same thing, calling itself “Air America”
Is this suddenly and somehow “American talk radio”? Do only “good Americans” listen to this network? Is there any doubt this name is deliberate? Liberals, who can’t succeed in talk radio on their own have to privately fund their own network, thanks to rich Democrats (yes, they exist) and they have the gaul to plaster “America” on it? I’m sorry, but the only thing American about talk radio is what is labeled “conservative talk radio” — and I’ll tell you why.
No, not because it’s conservative, but because the conservatives who have made it big in talk radio did it by starting small and working their way up. They were good at what they did, and got better over the years, built up an audience, and ultimately became a success. That’s the American Dream. That’s American talk radio.
Al Franken wouldn’t know the American dream if it bitch slapped him. I’ve done talk radio radio before - I had a radio show my senior year of college… It’s hard work. All the rich Democrats in the world can’t buy the hard work and talent it takes to sustain a radio show.
The glory days of Liberal Talk Radio will be short lived. They ought to enjoy these first few days, because it’s only going to go downhill from there…

“Air America”? Are they intentionally going for the CIA reference (which isn’t really germane to contemporary politics) or is this just a wierd coincidence?

The FCC will shut it down. Bush can’t even handle Howard STern on the air, how can they handle Al Franken?

It’ll go off the air the day after the election when Bush is reelected.

Air America sets Real Networks streaming record
There may be an audience for liberal network Air America Radio out there. The network, which had only three traditional radio stations at its launch, hit the online airwaves in record-setting fashion. RealNetworks announced that it delivered more than 2 million streams through airamericaradio.com during the network’s first week starting March 31. Air America officials reported that the launch was the largest non-news stream in Real Broadcast history. Air America includes left-leaning personalities on its daily line-up such as former “Saturday Night Live” writer Al Franken, actress Janeane Garofolo, and Lizz Winstead, co-creator of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.”

It’s kind of funny seeing the pansies who launch those “blogs” for Bush … there’s no space for comments, no area for open discussion, just propaganda wall to wall. And why not? It’s the perfect reflection for a President who’s had barely a handful of press conferences, while taking MORE VACATIONS than any President in history!
April 12th, 2004 at 10:18 pm
and blah blah…
Do you know what presidents do on vacation? It’s not like someone like you, sitting around doing nothing sipping pina coladas.. presidents go on working vacations…
second, with the media hype around Air Commie-America Radio of course it’s gonna have a big start, but those numbers will decline regularly.

You Republicans make me laugh!! You always take the Jesus loving moral high ground. Al Franken is a Harvard educated man that has more going for him than pill popping Rush or Sean Hannity. Sean Hannity’s book should say ” Deliver us from Bullshit”. I’m so tired of Republicans trying to tell me that I’m not American because I do not support the President. Or as I was referred to in this site a “Commie”. Is that the best argument that you have? How come Republicans never mention John Kerry service to his country? While he was risking his life in Vietnam Bush was in the National Guard. What about pill popping Rush? What a great role model!! On his program he said that drug addicts should be locked away for life so why isn’t he? People of tired of one perspective and listening to Republican blowhards trying to push their right wing Christian agenda on the American public. Richard Langlois
