So I have my new Sirius radio and I'm listening to Sirius Left at lunch....

[Stuckinthebush]

Ummmm...who the hell is this Lynn Samuels wacko? Is she seriously considered "left"?

Please tell me that I got her on a bad day. She was railing on Obama, calling him a socialist. She was very negative toward immigrants. She dropped more f-bombs than a high school sophomore. She also was dead set against homosexual marriage or unions in California. All of this in one of the most irritating voices this side of Sarah Palin.

Is Sirius Left this bad all day?

Jeez....

1. Lynn Samuels is THE WORST EVER!!!! And Alex Bennett is not

far behind! I email Sirius at least once a week about these two idiots. At the very least they should be moved to their Independent Channel. I think they went into a nursing home in Florida and handed the mic to the first dementia patient they came to and gave Lynn a radio show. I was very disappointed in Sirius after I got it. I live in San Diego and we have no liberal talk, so Sirius is better than nothing. And I thank God I can hear Mike Malloy or I would go insane! There is one talk show host that is great on Sirius, Mark Thompson. He is very good and has great guests on. Lynn, Alex, and Mark are Sirius DJ's they are not syndicated DJs like the other hosts on the channel. I can't not believe that they only play Thom Hartmann for one hour and then put Lynn Samuels on!

2. Lynn Samuels is the worst of it.

She's a PUMA if ever there was one and has been trashing Obama with racist comments for ages. Many of us have complained but there's been no action as yet. :mad:

3. Yes (other than the one hour of Thom Hartmann and Mike Malloy's show at night)

This article at Huffington Post summed up Sirius Left perfectly.

On Sirius's "Left," Alex Bennett, Lynn Samuels and Mark Thompson are the ones who have the least to say. Together with his stereotypical leftist freak listeners, Bennett, an ungracefully-aging hippie himself, offers up more gratuitous profanity than intellectual political thought. It's as if he and his hippie-cool listeners say "shit," "fuck," "asshole," and "douchebag" just because they can. And they say it a lot. And it makes his program unlistenable, unless you're into a bunch of ungracefully-aging hippies cursing a lot about nothing. Samuels on any random listen could be whining about anything meaningless, like the day I caught her discussing snot and boogers. And Thompson, while a smart, passionate guy, has a program so mellow in tone that it can literally put you to sleep. His voice is so smooth and jazzy that he'd be much better off cuing up a Miles Davis album.

4. Lynn Samuels is an older lady, some say an old hippy, who used to be pretty danged good...

She used to have a show on the conservative WABC in NYC during the 90s. She was one of the few liberal voices on that station. She bounced back there once or twice and then to other places, ending up on Sirius. I hear they treat her pretty well. But she seems to have lost her mind since Hillary conceded. I don't understand her. She used to have a web page too, that was OK. Oh, well, what else is on Sirius Left?

6. She must have flipped

Because what I heard today was very much not progressive.

I have heard Mark Thompson and of course Bill Press in the mornings is good.

5. She is a racist bitch

Sirius cuts Thom Hartmann and Ed Schultz short, yet this one is on for hours droning away. She needs to be removed from the air. It's a disgrace that I pay money to get away from this bullshit, and still get slammed with it.

Mark Thompson is great through......

7. I did hear Mark

He seems to be pretty cool.

I'll write an email to Sirius and tell them that I'm completely disappointed as a new subscriber. If not for the Coffeehouse, I'd go back to XM.
