Lynn Samuels: "Obama is worse than Bush."

[ej510]

Good ole sirius left.

[NewJeffCT]

1. huh?

WTF type of claim is that?

[ej510]

6. She let some fucker bash Obama and then let this repuke plug his site.

[Eric J in MN]

2. In what way (according to her)? NT

NT

[Curtland1015]

3. At what? A coke sniffing contest?

:eyes:

[no_hypocrisy]

4. *Sigh!*

I've been a fan of Lynn for soooo long. But after that declaration, I wish she didn't say it, but she did, and jump the shark is undeniable.

[DU9598]

12. I used to be a fan and a defender of Lynn

At this point she (and Alex Bennett) are both indefensible. I love the evening programming on Sirius Left, but I have to turn over to OutQ for my political talk with Michaelangelo Signorile in the afternoon. Lynn and Alex have - I hate to say it - both become too close to outright racists for me to listen anymore.

Is there anything that can be done?

[no_hypocrisy]

16. I've listened to her so long that I almost feel like I know her.

I'd like to e-mail her and just ask what's her rationale behind this. But I won't. It's her honest opinion and it makes no difference why.

[ej510]

28. With merger of XM we will get Randi Rhodes soon thank god.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

47. She's been saying exactly that, and worse, for MONTHS now. Where ya been?

[Alter Ego]

5. In other Bizarro World news, it'll be partly fishy outside

with a chance of keyboard until about 8pm, then the keyboard will change over to Albuquerque.

[ej510]

8. She just said that Lou Dobbs has the best morning radio show.

[Skwmom]

11. Lou Dobbs is a phony.

[yurbud]

7. she is astroturf left or like that woman who was a spy for the NRA

[BumRushDaShow]

9. I have listened to her for over 20 years (from when she was on WABC in NYC)

and she has always been like this. She is essentially a racist.

[no_hypocrisy]

19. I have to disagree.

Nobody, but nobody defended OJ like Lynn did. Her last show (unbeknownst to her or her audience) ended with her stating the next night she was going to have a guest who would "clear" OJ of any guilt of the murders.

She doesn't have a racist streak in her, only tunnel vision at times.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

22. I'm sorry but defending OJ does not prove that someone isn't a racist.

I've listened to Samuels a few times and found her to be more than a little misogynistic as well. She has an intense dislike for young, pretty women. I never heard what she said about OJ but it could have stemmed from that.

[no_hypocrisy]

26. Granted that was one example, and it was the only stark memory I could pull out.

Lynn gets on rants, that's all. She'd rant about Giuliani before it was cool. Bush was "vile and despicable" as well (in 2000).

I don't see her as racist, mysogynist, etc. She has individuals as targets, not groups.

[BumRushDaShow]

52. And I would disagree

As the other posted noted, OJ is irrelevant. She has been quite underhanded with her racism and would allow bigots to come on and spew their garbage without cutting them off. And since she suddenly realized, as her show began to be moved around the clock, that it was the "in" thing to do the "shock jock" style (to compete with the likes of Curtis Sliwa), she started to sow racial discord to garner ratings. Her "tunnel vision", IMHO, amounted to continuously bringing up some recurring dream that she would have where she would wake up on a concentration camp. She was no better than the garbage lunatic fringe talk hosts during the time when she was on WABC where she, along with ilk like Jay Diamond, were supposed to be the "leftist balance" against a Rash Limpball or Bob Grant on that station. And it's ironic that Bob Grant has landed back on WABC again after being exiled to WOR for years, to round out the RW lineup alongside Imus.

[choie]

25. I used to listen to her when she was on WABC also

and didn't think she was a racist at all - what the hell has happened to her?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

51. I used to listen to her years ago on WABC and never found her racist then. I am

disappointed in what the OP said about her, and in fact shocked.

[DarienComp]

10. Damn, she's a real piece of work isn't she.

[ej510]

14. At least Alex Bennet is defending Obama and going after repukes now.

[Captain Hilts]

13. Worse? In what way? At horseshoes? Golf? nt

[maui9002]

15. One of the reasons I subscribed to Sirius

was the ability to listen to a progressive station (at the time, the future of Air America was murky). Lynn Samuels is one of the reasons I won't be renewing my subscripion. Frankly, I'm astonished she has much of an audience at all. And that was before she started bashing Obama.

[ej510]

18. She's an ass.

[gaiilonfong]

17. Lynn Samuels wanted to fuck Drudge at one time

Even though she knew he was gay....she is a crackpot and YES she is a racist...always has been

[ej510]

20. For real!

[Sebastian Doyle]

23. If I believed that people could actually "turn" gay, that would give Drudge a great excuse

I don't think even Fred Phelps would blame him for that. Just the thought of fucking Lynn Samuels :puke:

[Cheap_Trick]

21. She's less than useless.

A real scumbag.

That nasal fucking whine is worse than nails on a chalkboard.

Sounds like an effeminate Jerry Lewis by the way of the Bronx.

[ej510]

24. She sounds like Edith Bunker.

[Cheap_Trick]

35. Edith always had more going on upstairs than Archie gave her credit for..

Lynn is a true dingbat.


I'd like to tell her to stifle it...

[LaPera]

27. Sirius Is a pile of right wing republican shit. They have many republicans corporate channels

yet only one progressive channel that mostly sucks and purposely so! Sirius offers two fucking hours of the clown, Lynn Samuels instead of Thom Hartmann's live show, They offer another not very informed dude for three fucking hours in the afternoon when they could easily offer the excellent Peter B Collins show live, 2 hours taped Ed Schultz republican owners of Sirius do this on perpose just like Fox news offering Alan Colmes a "liberal"....This is planned and disgusting....The only program Sirius "Left" leaves along, live is Mike Malloy's show in the evenings.

You understand Sirius serves up people like Lynn Samuels or taped programs because of Sirius' right-wing corporate ideology.....The republicans are always fucking with progressives and undermining them...

[ej510]

29. She said that Obama is lazy, stupid, and arrogant and she wants him to lose.

[five_horizons]

30. She is horrible

I've complained to Sirius and threatened not to renew my membership. That might be the only way to get her off there.

[LaPera]

31. That stupid arrogant old bag-She's going to vote for McCain & she's on Sirius "Left"?

This is what Sirius offers us? Except for Malloy, I refuse to listen...as many others refuse to listen....So now right-wing Sirius can repeat Limbaugh, and say "See, liberal radio doesn't work no one listens to it"....

But never mentioning the mostly slop they offer us.

[BlueGirlRedState]

32. What was Sirius thinking?

This woman is awful, awful, awful, awful. No words can describe how horrid she is. My new car had Sirius installed and when I went out at lunch I'd listen to her until I couldn't stand it any longer. Yes, she's a racist old shrew. After my 6 month intro subscription was up, I wanted to get XM on the receiver so I could listen to Randi. It was impossible, and now I'm waiting for the merger to happen so Sirius will throw this freak out and I'll get to listen to Randi again in my car.

Even thinking about how horrible this woman is gives me the creeps. I cannot believe how many I am reading in this thread have listened to her for years -- she's not worth 5 minutes of your time.

[AtomicKitten]

33. The Rs have a serious case of projection going on.

[Nedsdag]

34. Lynn Samuels is an old, lonely bag who has lost it.

I used to be a big fan of hers (she and my mother share a birthday), but I wish she would drop dead.

[ej510]

37. This is so fucked up when the evil party is more organized the party of the

good.

[AldebTX]

36. I Can't Listen To Her

Between hearing about all her aches and pains, the FBI putting something in her keyboard to see what she types etc...she has been obnoxiously anti-Obama.

She has it in her head he did a hatchet job on Hillary. The guy on before her is just as bad. Alex I think is his name.

God I wish they could replace the morning with Stephanie Miller.

[ej510]

39. Alex Bennet has defended Obama since the repuke convention.

[LaPera]

40. That's about one week.

[ej510]

41. Ed Schultz is next thank god! She finished her show up by saying Obama stole

nomination from Hillary.

[Raineyb]

38. I suspected something was not right with the woman when she used to bash Amy Goodman.

Samuels used to be at WBAI which is a local Pacifica station. (I never actually heard her there she used to occasionally talk about it) I listen to WBAI and Amy Goodman is the greatest so when Samuels would go off talking about how Amy Goodman was stupid I knew something wasn't quite right. I haven't listened to her in years.

This outright racist shit is a new one on me though. As far as I'm concerned she can go into the dung heap with the rest of the PUMA shitheads.

Regards

[LaPera]

42. She bashes Goodman, Malloy, Rhodes, AAR anyone progressive she feels threatened by because she knows

she's a hack, moderate at best, who uses her Sirius "Left" show to waste two hours on gosip, her ridiculous, boring daily life, Hollywood busllshit and trashing people she feels intimidated by....She's certainly no liberal voice - and such a waste of valuable air time for a much needed liberal voice in the prime time, afternoon talk radio, what little amount of time liberal radio gets in this republican owned corporate media, it shouldn't be wasted on Samuels ignorant dribble!

Sirius knows this and purposely encourages it, offers this trash as liberal radio....This is what Sirius thinks of us.

[shrub chipper]

43. She IS horrible!

BUT what about Sirius' 'Indy' channel whic features the outrageous NeoCon Ron Silver as and 'Independent'.

Too sad to be funny.

[nam78_two]

44. She is a closet Repuke

Not just because of this-but she has shown a pattern of Repukishness over the years.

[ej510]

45. She called Hannity her friend praised Limbaugh, and defended Savage.

[GreenTea]

48. And Sirius knows this and keeps the weakest possible progressive shows on.

Thes republicans are so completely lost in lie & money to them its not being a fair person and do what's right, that never enters the hateful republicans greedy minds, never, only how to screw somebody and get more....they really think they are going to take it with them but in reality most can't wait for them to die so the other republican will steal and take whatever they can....and they certainly won't be thought of fondly if at all when they die. They'll always be exposed for the lying hateful greedy dog shit that they are and were.

[krkaufman]

46. Her Obama hate is not a brand new development

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=6353741

[ej510]

49. It's hard to believe that someone whom contains so hate is

not a racist.

[krkaufman]

50. Her objections certainly don't sound rational....

... whatever her prejudice might be.
