WEEI Sports Radio: I almost fell off my chair this morning

[Kathy in Cambridge]

for those of you not from New England, the Dennis & Callahan morning show is about as far right as you could get. Gerry Callahan was suspended for making racist remarks, and homophobia is an ongoing theme of their show.

Today I heard John Dennis say he agrees with Ted Kennedy, Bush has fucked up and we need to bring the troops home now. This from a paleo-fascist neanderthal!

I love sports and stopped listening to Sports Radio because I like my politics and sports separate. Not that I'll listen to them regularly now (I flipped to 850 AM because Air America was on a break).

Just thought I'd tell my sports-loving Mass DUers that it may (almost) be safe to tune into 'EEI in the morning...

1. Slowly but surely the lights are starting to come on.

I'm looking forward to a day when the GOP has to impeach or force resignation on one of their own.

2. Sports radio WSCR here in Chicago has inserted RW politics into

the programming day too. That's probably the future of sports radio - to become part of the propaganda machine. Most of the sports crowd are uber-cons, and sneak in brief * commercials from time to time, but now it seems like it's becoming part of the script.

It's too bad, since during the 90's WSCR was really the only oasis in a seas of hate radio here in Chicago.

10. Sounds good!

:D

I know lots of people that are pissed at 'EEI because they get a daily dose of Rethuggery with their baseball news.

Let's see if we can get a call in sports show on Cambridge Coomunity Television!

12. now you're taLking

CCTV3 - is there a simiLar pubLic radio station?

[Bluebear]

9. I call & email to no avail

Boston radio sucks in general for liberals. In Mass., go figure!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

11. Air America rocks!

1200 AM and 1430 AM.

At night the signal strength sucks though...

3. I only listen to EEI for the sox

I am not so much into the sports radio thing, but I may check out more than the sox coverage this season.

5. i'm digging the BC eagLes this season

yeah, i jumped on the bandwagon.

[sniffa]

4. woah!

caLLahan must've went nuts!

fuck them both! i hope he gets hit by a metco bus. :P

[Kathy in Cambridge]

6. There was some heated shouting

They still suck but it was kind of entertaining picturing Callahan's head about to explode.

13. Sorry I missed that part of the program today

I usually listen to Morning Sedition and flip over to WEEI during commercials when I think it's "safe" to hear them actually talk about sports. As soon as I hear Callahan utter Michael Moore's name or anything else not sports related, I shut them off. He writes for the Boston Herald and because of his daily political pontifications I think he should move his column to the Op-Ed page to be with that other (ex-sports) columnist (and ultra right wing) Joe Fitzgerald.
