1. Lionel sounds like he is jealous.

[hlthe2b]

6. Exactly...... Small Male Organ sydrome, if you ask me

[mrreowwr_kittty]

2. Why do I give a shit what Lionel thinks? He's no liberal. nt

[Gato Moteado]

3. who is this douchebag lionel?

i've never heard of him. and after listening to the first minute of his insane rantings, i can see why i've never heard of him. he's unlistenable.

he really has his own radio show? i bet it doesn't last 2 weeks.

[Cleita]

9. He replaced Janeanne Garofalo and Sam Sedar on AAR.

You are right. He's unlistenable.

[democracy1st]

49. and I remember for weeks people complaining,I just moved on

[Cleita]

51. My local AAR replaced him with Mike Malloy. n/t

[Cleita]

4. Lionel is an ass.

Keith's ratings speak for themselves. He should be attacking Limbaugh and his imitators not a person who speaks for the left. Well AAR has turned into Republican Lite anyway.

[susankh4]

5. Keith is digging his own grave.

And Howard Dean is about to push him into it:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=385&topic_id=141569&mesg_id=141569

Go Howard!

[Cleita]

8. Keith isn't going anywhere and

there are some really alarming questions out there regarding Hillary. Does that mean if she becomes President she should get the pass that Bush has gotten for his crimes? I hope not. News people should be critical of politicians of both parties in the interest of getting to the facts and the truth. I am not an Obama lover incidentally. The candidates I would have loved to support as President are no longer in the race. I will vote for either Obama or Hillary in November, but now is the time to get all the negatives out there for both of them. Unfortunately, Hillary has far more negatives than Obama up to now. Also, I repeat that so-called leftist talk show hosts shouldn't be attacking each other. I don't know where they get the gender accusation when it comes to Hillary. I watch Olbermann every day and have not found him being either sexist or racist.

[fascisthunter]

19. You Wish.....

have some more sour grapes

[jgraz]

26. Yeah, all those high ratings spell DOOM for KO

Tell me, what was Lionel's last ratings book like? :rofl:

[sam sarrha]

35. LionOl is a LAWYER

[Cleita]

36. So?n/t

[OwnedByFerrets]

7. Any ONE who criticizes an outspoken

critic of this illegal administration can go "cheney" themselves.

[Tarheel_Dem]

10. And Keith should give a crap about what a "nobody" on a shitty, soon to declare...

bankruptcy AGAIN network says....because? I'm proud to say I've never listened to this ass clown once since he replaced the most progressive talk show host AAR ever had. I knew he what he was from his promo's.

Thanks, but no thanks.

[burythehatchet]

11. Oh yeah, Lionel, the reason I switched off AAR. Are they still operating?

I heard they simulcast David Gregory every afternoon. :rofl: Air America, what a joke.

[susankh4]

12. Wow. Obamaphiles love them some Olbermann....

gag me with a sup ladle, will ya. :puke:

Lionel is absolutely correct. And... BTW... his coverage of this primary race has been balanced. Which is more than I can say for KeithO's. But then... ya'll never were interested in balance, were you?

[burythehatchet]

13. awwww, you didn't know lionel sucks ass and thought you might get a few recs

as the kids say, FAIL

[susankh4]

14. I don't give one fucking damn about any KIDS and their "recs"

Keep stroking your hard on there....

[Cooley Hurd]

23. Sexist much?

"Keep stroking your hard on there..."

Shameful...:thumbsdown:

[Doityourself]

24. Bitter batch, not good or healthy. Don't eat from it anymore..

[fascisthunter]

20. Would You Like Some Pizza

[susankh4]

28. Whose hands have been touching it?

[ryanmuegge]

22. It is clear that Olbermann supports Obama. Whatever. That doesn't bother me.

What bothers me about Olbermann, at least somewhat, is that he defends losers like Russert and Matthews.

Lionel has no room to talk. He's a joke. His show sucks.

Irrespective of substance, political talk radio as a whole sucks, both left and right, though right wing talk radio is the better product (in that it's more sensational and entertaining). Malloy is pretty entertaining, as is Sam Ceder and Maddow, but we on the left have little that is interesting and entertaining on talk radio.

[JDPriestly]

40. Actually, Thom Hartmann is my favorite, but then I like intelligent

talk and can't stand TV. Lionel is one of the few AAR hosts I don't like.

Actually, I used to like Randi Rhodes, but in my view, she is the one who is too Obama, far too Obama. Her adoration of Obama (whom I like) is way beyond rational. She has lost her balance.

I will vote for either Obama or Hillary, but I still like John Edwards the best of the original candidates. I also liked Biden. We had quite a number of really worthy candidates. It is very sad that there is so much rancor in the party.

[sniffa]

46. Yeah, and passive aggressive, dead-enders like to play martyr

Enjoy the board you end up on. :hi:

[madfloridian]

15. Lionel is a pathetic man.

.

[marmar]

16. And who gives a frog's fat ass what Lionel has to say?

It's not Keith's fault that Keith rocks and Lionel sucks.

:nopity:

[damntexdem]

17. Love ya, Keith. Ignore this guy!

[fascisthunter]

18. Oh Lionel, Lionel...... you Just Aren't "All That"

[ryanmuegge]

21. The new ownership has effectively muzzled AAR. The RW has been looking for ways to do that since it

first came on the air.

[jgraz]

25. LIONEL??? Fuck that tiny-dicked blowhole

Jesus, I'd almost rather you relied on Glen Beck and Michael Savage for your quotes than that talentless misogynist faux-liberal.

:eyes:

[Cary]

29. My vote: Olbermann over Lionel any day.

Too bad Lionel thinks we have to choose.

[RobertSeattle]

30. I didn't listen to it all - does he offer one FACT to support his case?

Or is all rhetoric?

[Kittycat]

31. I really dislike Lionel - I listen to Stephanie Miller instead.

Now I have one more reason to stay tuned to the AM station (Stephanie Miller) in the morning, instead of listening to XM.

[Tarheel_Dem]

34. I agree. I knew from his promo's, when Sam was ousted, that this

guy would be a horrible replacement. AAR is steadily moving to the center-right, and hopefully all the progressive voices will wind up at NovaM. We all know where Mark Green's loyalties were, and AAR is slowing reflecting that.

[ProfessorPlum]

32. who is this loser?

[ProfessorPlum]

33. "My mind is so numbed"

'nuf said, Lionel.

[DS1]

37. Leopold!?!

[DWilliamsamh]

38. Has any one actually listened to this guy for more than a half an hour?

He's impenetrable. I have XM and got it specifically for AirAmerica. I have tried repeatedly to listen to Lionel's show, but find with RARE exception that he does an fair imitation of a 10 year old with a sever case of ADD. I cannot figure out what in the world this guy's "point" is. I usually end up listening to "The Power" on 169, instead regardless of whether I agree with Joe Madison on all things he at least carries a thought through for more than 3 minutes.

In terms of these comments re Olberman, I disagree, but I am really responding because I would like someone to explain this guy and his show to me. He seems totally incapable of staying on one topic, and most of his blather is an examination of the minutia that inhabits his mind, not anything to do with politics much less anything important to society from a cultural, artistic, educational perspective.

39. Lionel is an absolute jealous clown! Just like his pal Dennis Miller....

pretending to be a "progressive" but will go anywhere the bucks are, greedy little fuck that Lionel is....Hoping he can get a gig on Fox "news" and hang with with his old buddies David Horowitz & Miller.

There's always these same kind of fucks (we see them on DU all the time) who claim to be "progressives" than trash easy targets of liberal popularity with their lies & jealousy....Michael Moore receives the same shit all the time from these losers no matter what truths Moore tells & reports....what do they have to offer these same assholes who trash, what good are they doing offering up their bullshit?

Now it's easy target time again trashing Keith Olbermann......as if anyone even knows who the fuck Lionel is....

Lionel is a diminutive clown, shameless stupid, fucking worm, with absolutely no integrity what so ever...he proves it constantly, whenever he opens his mouth.

What a jealous little piece of shit is Lionel.

[rocktivity]

41. ..

:boring:
rocknation

[Thrill]

42. Is this guy really a progressive? I heard him defending McCain on the Hagee thing

[whistle]

43. This guy is like all the RW talk shit idiots, sorry, but he is a total jerk

[cui bono]

45. Can't listen to Lionel. Heard some of him in the past and just cannot take it.

[Nite Owl]

47. Lionel is a jerk

does he actually even have an audience?

[democracy1st]

48. When they gave this guy the morning job over Sam Seder I said good bye can't listen to his BS

[Snotcicles]

50. Wow thanks for posting, that was excellent and right on target. nt

[travelingtypist]

52. Yeah, I wrote Lionel an email asking if he wished that

women were throwing their panties -- figuratively speaking -- at him
the way they are at Keith. Lionel is so totally jealous.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

53. He's got a voice made for PRINT

Whose bright idea was it to put poor, whiny, nasal Lionel behind the microphone? What? The 1KHz test tone was sick that week?

I frankly can't tell what the little feller's saying because his voice itself is like the whine of a dental drill.

[1Hippiechick]

54. What a great line!

Based on the slow speed and enunciation, I would guess that he is accustomed to a very elderly hard-of-hearing audience - where one has to speak louder, more slowly and wait longer after the punch line - reminds me a little of Larry David's whiney, overbearing character with one exception -I think Larry David is funny- this guy's voice is a HUGE turnoff!

:boring:

[GrpCaptMandrake]

58. Thanks. The line's an extrapolation

of something that's been said of me: "You've got a face made for radio."

The Larry David comparison IS uncanny, save, as you note, for the fact that Larry David's actually enjoyable, where Lionel's just grating.

I wonder if he's ever done radio under the air name "Lionel Twain?" Who could resist?

[canucksawbones]

55. the guy sounds as loony

as one of Perry Logan's LSD inspired videos.

[rooboy]

56. Lionel also thinks Tom Friedman is a genius. n/t

[susankh4]

57. Liberal Rapture has something to say about El KeithO

http://www.liberalrapture.com/2008/05/new-liberal-normal-sexism-is-okay.html

Not too much different from what Lionel had to say, but worth the read.

[Gato Moteado]

59. liberal rapture? i just looked at it....it's an anti-obama site....

it's obviously a pro hillary site, so it's no surprise they'd rant about KO. the article listed is lame.

next they'll be touting the virtues of fox news.

[susankh4]

60. It's a Dem site

And we will damned well keep citing it.

[Gato Moteado]

63. it's not a "dem site"....

....there's no balance. it's a pro-hillary/anti-obama site. and that's fine...everyone has a right to put their shit out on the internet. it's just not a reliable source for anything and is nothing more than a place for obama haters to go pretend that their feelings about him are important. it really serves no other purpose.

you can cite it all you want, but that doesn't make it worth anything. you can keep repeating things over and over and type them in all caps and scream them at the top of your lungs but that doesn't make them true.

lionel is an idiot and liberal rapture is a crap site.

and i'm not an obama-bot. i am sick of the bickering between the obama supporters and the clinton supporters. the angriness and arguments serve no purpose. both sides are acting like shit-heads. the winner is gonna be the one who has more delegates when this thing is over. and anyone who chooses not to vote for the dem in the GE because his or her candidate lost the primary is no democrat no matter how many crappy websites with the word "liberal" in the URL they read.

oh, and by the way....KO kicks ass.

[Dave From Canada]

61. Why does Keith rip-off Murrow? Seriously.

[Rob H.]

62. Lionel's show is a fucking joke

Mark Green deserves to be punched in the crotch repeatedly for replacing Sam Seder with that smug, condescending jackass.

[mmonk]

64. A model train set maker?

[Synnical]

65. So that's what Lionel look like?

I had no idea. He's so Repuke Lite.

As "Luck" may have it, I now have Nova M radio here in So Fla. They broadcast AAR in the depths of the nite hours.

Lionel is on from 6-9 PM, I listen to music rather than him.

66. This Lionel fucker looks and sounds like Sean Hannity. /nt
