What's The deal With www.airamericatalk.com ?

Have you guys been to this message board:

http://www.airamericatalk.com/bb/

They claim to be Challenging Rightwing Rhetoric since 2004, yet they have some right-wing
rush limbaugh clone as the moderator of every single forum.

His name is (DShootnstGentemn) and he is the moderator for every forum. Why would a
liberal message board called air america talk make a right-wing nimrod a moderator there ?

I personally will never go back there as long as he is a moderator !

Any ideas what the hell they are thinking over there ?

1. the AA URL is
www.airamericaradio.com

maybe somebody at AA should have been REALLY careful about grabbing related domain names, this one was missed.

3. I Know..........

I know this is not an official airamericaradio.com message board.

I want to know if anyone here knows that a right-wing crank is running the damn thing.

BTW, nobody is posting there, it's like a ghost town.

They have 98 registered users, but only 353 postings. In contrast my message board has
75 users and 1280 postings.

People go there thinking it is a liberal message board, once they find out some right-wing
Nazi runs it they all leave and never go back.

Which is what I plan to do.

2. One of the people behind it
Jaz I think came here asking us to go over and post.

I do, obviously, and it's a nice middle ground between this board and FreeRepublic, which I've been banned from since my 3rd post 3 years ago. LOL

Freepers get banned here, so there's no time to bash 'em before they go.

For a while, I was posting on the Daily Show message board, but they removed the board because it got way out of hand.

It's nice to have an open sparring ground.

4. Lefty........

Like I said, I have no problem with republicans posting there. The problem is having a
message board called air america talk, then making a right-wing Nazi the moderator of all
the forums.

I will not be going back as long as the right-winger is a moderator for all the forums.

5. There are two moderators
One liberal, Phi-B, and one conservative.

It's only been up a few days, as far as I know.
