Wow.. Lynn Samuels pimping the birther crap on her show today.
I'd like to hear the Lynn Samuels defenders defend that.

She says it's on Worldnet Daily and she can't be sure how true stuff on the site is (trying to give herself a bit of deniability), but keeps pimping it nonetheless.

When she comes up against callers who support Obama, she keeps coming back to "well he's not the President if he's not a citizen."

Trying to be sneaky about it but not really.

1. Didn't she lose her objectivity during the primaries?
?

3. She's a radio "personality" on the Sirius "Left" channel. A supposed liberal
alternative station to RW talk radio

16. To be fair, I'd probably go nuts if I had to work in the same office as Limbaugh...
She was part of the AM 770 flagship station lineup when Limbaugh first went national from NYC.

6. She has a show on Sirius Left that is absolutely un-listenable...
she is not well read, likes to talk about the garbage she watches on TV, has a very irritating voice and hates Obama. I've given the show a try a couple of times when I was traveling in my car and could only make it a few minutes.

4. She's parroting accusations that the most rabid Hillary people...
were saying about Obama during the primaries and afterward about what a sleazy guy Obama is. I would say that he is a skilled politician.

17. That's a statement of fact, not an assignment of blame....
I don't have a dog in that fight.

18. No, "birther", the context is pretty clear if you've been reading DU at all since the election.

7. Exactly why I'm glad I quit listening to her
Her candidate lost, but instead of dealing with it she's working to destroy Obama instead. Very much the sore loser. Why she's fouling Sirius Left I'll never know.

8. The whole idea of involuntary citizenship is dated
If one truly believes that citizenship as an accident of birth defines your fundamental fitness to be human, then I truly believe that person is fascist idiot.

Countries should be competing for OUR citizenship, not the other way around, because the other way around implies ownership of the individual by the state. I'd go so far as to say that citizenship should not be related to geography - another antiquated idea.

19. But that's irrelevant to the discussion
Obama was born here and is a citizen of this country. Next.

9. I have emailed sirius left so many times about her.


There is no reason why this despicable harpy is on a left leaning station.

Please write or call Sirius and tell them to let an actual lefty take that slot on the radio.

Some of the things she has said about Dems are beyond the pale.

10. I truly believe that she lost most of her marbles several years ago.
There was a time when her voice was almost bearable...but combined now, with what she says...it is something that could be used to torture prisoners.

11. She doesn't like Obama. Just says he's part of the power elite and no different than the others,
so don't expect change.

12. And, the irony of the situation is that, when you look up 'power elite,'
her favorite's picture is right next to the phrase.

14. I wondered what happened to her. She used to be a sensible person
until Hillary lost. Now she's in the bin with the rest of the loons.

21. Randi Rhodes calls Samuels "The Deli Waitress"
Refuses to say her name on air. Samuels has called Rhodes a bitch more than once. Cat fight? No. One knows what she's talking about. The other sounds like a Deli Waitress!

22. I've never heard her,..
...or of her before.

So, since she is on the so-called "left" talk show Sirius/XM channel, what are (or were) her "leftist" credentials when she got the show?

Just curious.

25. For those who don't know her... here's some chalkboard for you.
Some pranksters called in to her show one day.
