Bitchy is at least a shade of feisty.

I wish we didn't have people who complain about people who complain about liberal radio. One less fucking thing to complain about the complaining about.

I think I hurt myself.

10. Same people who complain about DU complain about Air America
:eyes:

"DU is too conservative"

"DU is too liberal"

"To be a viable Democratic candidate for president, one must be vetted and approved by the DLC."

"To be a viable Democratic candidate for president, one must be vetted and approved by the NARAL."

"Christians are persecuted on DU"

"Christians are given too much leeway on DU"

"DU is full of anti-choice activists"

“Only Catholics who vote against the Church teaching, like John Kerry and Teddy Kennedy, are acceptable to most DUers.”

"DU is full of man-haters"

"DU is full of misogynists"

You know what? We're lucky to have DU and Air America.

16. I think the complaints are based on the fact that liberal radio...
...is such a rare commodity that when one is given a show on said liberal radio, he or she is inherently shouldering a big responsibility.

Sorry, but Jerry Springer doesn't live up to that responsibility, and I often wonder whether Franken does either.

Edited on Mon Aug-01-05 03:02 PM by Goldmund
and yes, it's all good -- I wouldn't support replacing Springer with Hannity or anything, obviously. But we have so many good, eloquent, strong liberals out there that I can't for the life of me figure out why Springer is the one who gets the bullhorn.

IMO, even the show they replaced -- the one with Rachel, Lizz and Chuck D (if he wasn't up too late the previous night partying) -- was clearly better than Springer.

There is no harm in scrutinizing your side, to the contrary. When I dial into OxyMoron or Hannity I only expect Nazi gibberish -- but as a liberal I have every right to expect more and better from the only station out there that represents and airs views like mine.

I remember when all we had was crossfire ,
then we celebrated getting Donahue on the air
but then they canned him.

I'm so Thankful for AAR :hi:

I'm finally starting to listen to Archive Morning
Sedition show from Air America Place , I just love
that show :D and I'm sorry I missed it for so long .

27. No kidding.
Does anyone complaining live in a place where liberal radio is considered to be O'Reilly???

I got satellite and have hardly ever turned it off AAR. Do I agree with them all the time? Nope. Do I give a shit? NO! In my entire life here I have never heard anything that ever even came close to agreeing with me on the radio. I am thrilled.

Everyone has a right to complain though but it seems unbelievable to me. My husband and I took a trip to the NE last October. We never found AAR on the dial but we also never lacked for a station with a liberal slant. I think sometimes people do not know what a god send some of this is for those of us out in the boonie red state areas.

29. It's not a matter of disagreement
I don't agree with a lot of what Randi says, or Malloy, or Sam Seder. But I have never complained about them in general -- I'll take an issue with this or that argument, but I do think that they are valuable assets who have more than earned their place in the AAR lineup.

Springer, on the other hand, is 1) An extremely weak debater, regardless of whether or not one agrees with a particular argument. Regurgitating 3rd-grade tautologies such as "war is bad (m'kay?), nobody likes war" does not well represent the liberal side of any debate; and 2) The dude simply is not well informed. He does not read blogs and basically gets his news from the MSM -- for example, I seem to remember that it took him forever to get with the program on the DSM.

36. AAR (streaming) has been a sanity saver for me as an expatriot
I discovered AAR streaming when I got broadband about a year ago. I've been so grateful to have it during the election debacle and all the subsequent scandals. Whenever anybody posts predictions of its imminent demise, I get worried.
(CatWoman, I love your signature pix! I only just got Windows XP which allows me to see them)

I have to change it very soon because I lost Trinity last week. It hurts looking at her pic. I haven't decided what to do about it though.

I've been lurking for months, but my 6 year old computer made it just too much trouble to post. The new one has made a world of difference.
Soooo sorry to hear about Trinity. Was she very old? I lost my boy-cat Buddhi (18 yrs) about 9 months ago and I'm still not over it. Don't want another one for now--not yet.

49. Trin was only three
her sister, Streak, is taking it hard. I may have to get a kitten to help bring Streak along.

She keeps going thru the house looking for Trin.

It was Streak who led me to her body.

Like all cats, Streak is an evolved spiritual being. Of course she's looking for her sister. Anybody who says cats are aloof and indifferent doesn't know anything about them.

going through major PMS complaining about just about eveything. It gets real old after while. We should all stick together and support AAR... This is how right wing got their base together. If we don't like something, lets do something about to change it, instead of complaining!

Edited on Mon Aug-01-05 05:03 PM by Goldmund
That's one of the problems -- that the liberal half of the country assumes that the media by default belongs to the other side, and whatever meager crumbs we get are then "a gift".

No, I think that we DESERVE and are ENTITLED TO having our views equally represented in the media outlets, and since AAR is one of the few we have, it's only up to us to hold their feet to the fire. They are, after all, a lone voice holding the liberal torch.

Yeah, yeah..."You can get a Roady2 and a paint job at Earl Sheib's for only $29.99 and get XM." The principle of the matter is never addressed. We should have more AAR saturation, not exclusivity.
