The Lionel beeps are driving me nuts. Is he mocking AAR for agreeing

[thereismore]

to play Opie and Anthony and then plays the beeps? What an asshole. He hasn't said one thing of relevance today. He is pretending to defend the 1st amendment. Okay. Next thing he'll do is probably agitate against taxes. He's a libertarian, and BORING!

[The Count]

1. My take is - he doesn't know it's beeped. In his headphones he hears it all

and his sound man omitted to tell him it's all beeped.
he is pushing RW issues under the pretext that Rice was the target.
personally, if the talk was purely sexual, I don't care. But if there was any racisn mixed in, i don't accept it against her any more than anyone else.
I notice that the a*hole never specifies.

[NYCGirl]

2. It's a joke, guys. NT

[Chimichurri]

3. He's obnoxious. His promos are so self-absorbed and so not funny.

What a huge mistake they made. Sam was one of the best AAR had. Idiots.

[The Count]

4. More than a mistake. A sell-out. He sounds like the character Colbert is mocking

Without the self-irony

[Chimichurri]

6. He just said he took a pay cut but that he wasn't at AAR for the money

but rather he's there to show young men how to host a radio show.

Oh brother :eyes:

[disndat]

7. They probably replaced Sam

because he told the truth all the time Maybe some deep-pocketed Noe-con made an offer the new owners of AAR couldn't refuse.

[Nikki Stone1]

5. Just turn it off. The guy will lose his show if no one listens (NT)

NT

[The Count]

8. I am listening to it today - so I know what I am talking about when starting th boycott

[Nikki Stone1]

32. Ah. Well go to the boycott then! :)

:)

[KittyWampus]

13. Lionel won't lose his show because most of us find him entertaining.

[jgraz]

18. Admit it: you're Lieonel's mom.

You must be so proud.

[hlthe2b]

27. Well, if this thread is at all representative, it doesn't appear so....

(i.e., does NOT appear that MOST find him entertaining)....

I did not get a chance to listen, but will do so this week some time....Until then, I reserve judgment....:shrug:

[The Count]

9. He just dissed Gravel post interview - O'really style "he doesn't understand you have

to impeach first" yeah, Lionel - you are the radio guy, he's only a US senator - what does he know of laws?

[Chimichurri]

10. Why is he wasting so much time on Opie and Anthony? Get on with

it, Lionel. There's way more important stuff to talk about.

[kma3346]

11. I miss Sam!

I can't believe they replaced him with this guy.

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[devilgrrl]

12. Start calling his show...

make his life miserable.

[KittyWampus]

14. Oh goodie, the Way of the Liberal. Make someone's life miserable because you don't personally

like them.

:sarcasm:

[devilgrrl]

16. Ohhhhh, boo hoo...

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

You're right, we need to take the high-road here....

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

[jgraz]

17. Yes, because conservatives never do that

I see your :sarcasm: and raise you an :eyes:

[NYCGirl]

19. So you're saying we should act like freepers? NT

[jgraz]

20. Now THERE's a liberal!!

We either roll over and take it or we're FREEPERS. That's the attitude that's kept us in power for all these years! Oh wait...

[NYCGirl]

22. Roll over and take it? Because you don't like a radio show? Turn it off. Don't

listen to it, OK?

And yes, us Liberals believe in free speech. If you don't like a program, don't listen to it. If enough people don't, it'll be cancelled.

[devilgrrl]

23. And if enough people call expressing their displeasure it will be canceled sooner rather than later!

Perhaps enabling Sam Seder's return.

[jgraz]

25. You mean, actually take an active role in making your opinion known?

You FREEPER!

:hi:

[NYCGirl]

26. Calling management to complain is different from the previous person asking

everyone to call the talent and "make his life miserable." If you feel offended, you should feel free to call and complain.

[hlthe2b]

28. Umm... that is how the commercial market works...

It isn't an infringement on his free speech to voice one's opinion of a show and to lobby for content that you enjoy.

Many of us are paying for it through XM subscriptions, but even those who webcast or listen to an affiliate HAVE A VOICE. Telling people to TURN IT OFF is to suggest they don't have a right to advocate for content they enjoy. I'm surprised at this attitude, NYCGIRL. Perhaps that is not what you meant to express?

[NYCGirl]

29. Lobby, call the management, etc. What I disagree with is calling the talent to

"make his life miserable," as the poster said.

[hlthe2b]

30. I certainly agree with that....

;)

[RB TexLa]

24. That's the way of an audience. Just happens to be a liberal/progressive audience

It's a little different than not liking a show on television with 100 other choices of similar programming. There is only a small amount of liberal radio out there, and they have to listen to their audience. I'm sure they guy gives out the phone number to call in, they are asking people to call. If someone doesn't like the show and is committed to the station and it's programing they should actually feel a duty to call in and complain. I have no doubt that if a conservative talk station put on someone it's audience felt was too moderate they would call in droves, hardly a freeper/liberal thing.

[jgraz]

15. There are people actually LISTENING to Lieonel today?

News Flash: He sucks. :puke:

[thereismore]

21. The joke was on us. He was playing us for suckers, playing bleeps

and pretending it wasn't bleeped. I suspected that much, but I thought it was a "1st amendment" criticism of AAR for not letting him play it unbleeped. Well guess what, it was just a joke on us, listeners. There was no point to it. He just played us for suckers. He is a giant asshoe, that's all. I will never listen to him again, and that's a promise, not a joke.

[LTR]

31. Oh get a grip, people!

It was a comedy bit! Sheesh!

I heard it, and I immediately got it. No, he's not insulting the listeners.

If you don't like the show, listen to something else. You people are way too hypersensitive.
