I swore off listening to Randi Rhodes today...

[sueh]

who else on the radio or web stream can I listen to?

[corkhead]

1. I've been listening off and on this afternoon. I must have missed it. what did she do now?

[tridim]

8. She's expressing her opinion..

Just like she has been doing since her first day on the air.

Apparently some people don't like our progressive hosts having their own opinions.

[sueh]

16. Her criticism of early voting, criticism of John Edwards just did me in today...

And, the way she shouts over the callers, even when they are in agreement with her. I know it's her show, she can do as she likes, but I've had my fill. It's a darn shame, though. I once loved her show.

[helderheid]

22. Join the club!

:hi:

[sueh]

24. Thanks, helderheid...

:hi:

[VenusRising]

29. Me, too.

I was in the car and turned off my radio in disgust.

When she asked her listeners how stupid they felt for early voting now that there are only two candidates really pissed me off. I don't vote until March, but I would never call someone stupid for exercising their right to vote especially for someone they idealistically agreed with.

[ladjf]

31. I think that she is on the side of good. But, her caustic demeanor

is not helping the cause in my opinion.

[Sanity Claws]

2. Ed Schultz

but he's not an improvement.
Randi is egotistical and rude. Ed talks about sports and often espouses views that are less than progressive.

[Bluestar]

3. Oh and fishing

Don't forget the fishing shows--they are by far the most relevant to the political narrative.

[stellanoir]

7. loaves and fishes. . .

loaves and fishes. . . all the time

[Bluestar]

13. Stella, you made me literally laugh out loud!!

[TheDebbieDee]

4. I had to stop listening to Ed Schultz last Thursday......

I got tired of the Hillary bashing.

Maybe I'll start tuning him in again after a nominee has been selected.

[Ian David]

6. I fucking hate Ed Schultz. n/t

[Justpat]

15. His Hillary hatred is really ugly.

I can't listen to him.

[sueh]

28. Ain't that the truth.

:hi:

[sueh]

23. Oh, I know. I listened to his show a few times when the Chicago AAR affilitate...

moved to a stronger station. I quit listening after a couple of days and went back to streaming Hartmann. :hi:

[Ian David]

5. Thom Hartman, Stephanie Miller, Rachael Maddow. n/t

[sueh]

21. I listen to Thom, Stephanie and Rachel and enjoy their programs...

very much. I'll do some googling to see if Rachel is on any station during the Randi time slot. Thanks much! :hi:

[tech3149]

9. go to headonradio for a change

Sorry you don't have the stuff to deal with Randi, it's an acquired taste I guess, but the Horn network has Guy James, Mark Levine, and Bob Kincaid. Check it out and I hope you enjoy it.

[sueh]

20. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it.

:hi:

[Sarah Ibarruri]

10. I love Randi Rhodes because she tears the GOPers a new one every day.....

... however, listen to Thom Hartman. He's awesome!!

[Bluestar]

14. Yep, ripping the Gooper's is always good!!

[Sarah Ibarruri]

19. Yes! Just listening to her gives me energy to come out fighting against the

fascist @-holes. :spank:

[SomeGuyInEagan]

30. Hartmann is very good ...

Smart, well-rounded guy with great guests.

He often begins the show with a conservative guest or someone who is certainly opposed to Thom's way of thinking (recently, the VP for Blackwater, for example, to discuss the use of private security firms). These aren't interviews but rather debates, with both sides offering positions and defending those positions. Great, informative radio.

My only complaint is how often he takes a call or asks a guest a question only to cut the person off in mid-question or mid-point to say he needs to take a commercial break - appears as poor clock management at best.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

33. Yes! Often he has the (Libertarian) Rand Institute reps. Interesting show! nt
