    Hey, if Obama plans to build huge, futuristic satellites that will hover endlessly over inexplicably tiny houses, broadcasting old episodes of the Munsters, then call me Captain Communist*, because I support him 100%

    *That is what we’ve decided Obama is, right? Not a fascist or a socialist? I have trouble keeping track.

    The righty-up-thighties yeowl. What BS, has anyone ever noted how many “Christian” channels are broadcasting ?

    Funny cartoon and it makes me think that perhaps the counter propaganda campaign from the left is having some impact. I’m glad to see it.
    Old Munster episodes! I’m a commie too.

    Hey, ANandy, how does that old song go again? Oh yeah:

    “Ohhhhh… If you want it to be possessive,
    It’s just “I-T-S.”
    But if it’s supposed to be a contraction,
    Then it’s “I-T-apostrophe-S,”
    Scalawag. ”

    Yeah, TV should be like radio – stupid sexist jokes in the morning, and idiotic right wing nut jobs and Bible thumpers the rest of the day.

    does this mean the Obama-haters don’t know how to change channels so they have to throw the set out the window ….
    gosh, I know they’re ill-informed but I would’ve thought they knew how to change channels! my oh my ….

    Keep up the good work Lisa, Your detractors are just a bunch of socialists that can’t make it on their own so they will depend on the Obama- fascists to provide an income for them derived from confiscation of other people’s money.

    Jump the shark next year.
    More Biden for comedy relief and blame.

    Hopefully will be canceled in 2012.

    Nothing can bring anti-Christian bigots out of the woodwork like ridicule of Obama. Next, when did Bush or a religious channel ever try to use every public-school classroom in America for propaganda? Finally, why is it worse to start a useless war than to pretend to oppose it and then intensify it?

    Let’s see now, there are like 20% republicans in the country, ( they all happen to be on Gocomics) Yet, they have 80-100 % of the air waves ? Gee, Democrats are such Communist. Just think, if the percentage MATCHED the percent of Democrats, Democracy might break out. Everyone should have the chance to hear Stephanie Miller in the morning.
    How unfair if Democrats get to talk, Republican wouldn’t have a Chance

    GNWachsGenius_badge said, 2 months ago

    Obama has assembled the most proficient PR strike force ever seen in this country. If anything negative appears anywhere his people respond in seconds. The conservative team looks like a Sisters of Mary against Notre Dame. This toon shows right wing frustration.

    BCS, Republicans wont change their channel, they just dont want US to have one.

    The air waves are suppose to be for the good of the public, not a propaganda tool for a small group of wing nuts.
    Maybe there should be a rating board, to rate truthfulness ! ( not truthiness *)
    ( like they do for Tv and Movies )
    Definition of truthiness. http://www.merriam-webster.com/info/06words.htm

    dspedGenius_badge said, 2 months ago

    @BCS: They clearly don’t know how to change channels (or turn the set off) - besides Obama, they’re always griping about how the teevee is full of celebrities inflicting their political opinions on them, or gays cramming their “agenda” down their throat (gotta love the oblivious double entendre there), or the “liberal bias” in general. I used to wonder why whiners about TV (of all types) just didn’t find a new pastime, but I do believe whining IS the pastime.

  19. johnking

    johnking said, 2 months ago

    Senor Bull whines that the right doesn’t want the left to have a channel.
    He can have a channel any time he can find listeners. Are Rush or O’Reilly pointing a gun at the public, making them watch and listen?
    A telecast/broadcast rating board yet, so that a la Chavez, the feds could mute the opposition. If Stephanie Miller (whoever the hell she is) wants to talk, who’s stopping her? The left is stupid and boring and blames their deficiencies on the infamous right-wing conspiracy. You lefties are pathetic, but also dangerous in your open wish to practice censorship.

    “…they just dont want US to have one.”

    Really? So ALL of the MSM including every single over-the-air television outlet and every major metropolitan daily worshiping each of The Empty Suit’s teleprompted syllables isn’t quite enough for you? But you folks on the Left are always preaching “diversity”! Uh-huh.

    “The air waves are suppose to be for the good of the public, not a propaganda tool for a small group of wing nuts.”

    Good of the public? Like Maher? Garofolo? Air America? MSNBC? Grow up.

    Hey, I watched, or listened, to almost all the previous President’s speeches. I even watched him stop in the middle of one and stare off into space for no appearant reason. I watched because he is the President of the United States, and if he wants an hour of my time, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and listen.

  23. believecommonsense

    believecommonsenseGenius_badge said, 2 months ago

    “socialists.” “fascists”, “marxist”, “The One,” “worshipping,” “empty suit,” “MSM left-wing media,”

    ever notice how very little substance there is in the Obama-haters’ posts?

    johnking, if a president speaking to school children about the value of an education is propaganda, then it follows that you’re against the value of an education
    and

    how many time do people have to point out the fact to you that both Reagan and Bush 41 spoke to school children via nationwide broadcast? why are you still pretending Obama is the only one?

    Might take a look at what Michael Powell and the boys did at FCC, plus earlier runs under papa Bush. Digital licensing turned into a boondoggle for the public, and a veritable gold mine for Fox and the mega-corp right-wing broadcasters.(Disney too, as we look at the demise of Marvel comics under the rat)

    senorbullwinkleGenius_badge said, 2 months ago

    YOU ALL need a history lessen. If you can admit that at least half of the country is Democrats, then we can start. Why would Democrats want to listen to Rush and his rummies ?
    This go’s on all the time, if you want to take over a country, take over the air waves, just ask Kim Jung ill. Kill any descending voices, kill the news papers. Hitler did it, the Chinese do it too.And how bout that Russia.
    It’s Called Corporate Radio, and among 4 or 5 people ,they own probably 90% of all radio stations.
    In small towns all across the country it’s all you can get. Big Business dont have to worry about Bad PR when Republicans own the air waves.
    Merdoc invested all his billions in this NEW OPPORTUNITY to own all of American Air Waves, ( or at least the most ) to make his MONOPOLY. You wont find any subversives on his stations. Randy Roads, has proved that head to head with Rush, she had more listeners.
    As far as the FINANCIAL problems and mismanagement of Air America, stuff happens. Their problems had nothing to do with the Host’s or listener’s, and are STILL on the air. Merdoc lost millions for years, before he started making any money. If you like automated hosts and scientifically formated music, and no local news, you can thank Merdoc.
    Their is nothing FAIR about it, MONEY TALKS, for their best interest, NOT the publics, and least of all Democrats.It’s 1984 and you have the hook in your mouth to prove it !

    I dont know this person “Garofolo” but let me inform you to the deferents between Public Air Waves and PRIVATE PAY.
    The people you mentioned are not on public air waves, you can not pick them up by simply turning on your radio or TV, you must pay someone. I live in a town that gets 3 radio stations and 3 TV stations

  30. believecommonsense

    believecommonsenseGenius_badge said, 2 months ago

    Howie, I already posted this elsewhere. I found two separate media accounts of the Bush 41 nationwide address to school children. Gephardt criticized the hiring of a PR firm to put it together and said it was tantamount to a paid campaign commercial.

    No one suggested he did not have the right to talk to school children, no one suggested he was trying to usurp parents or educators, no one suggested he was trying to cram some nefarious ideology down kids’ throats, no one cried over what their poor kids would have to endure, and no one threatened to keep their kids at home to avoid the evil president.

    If you want to offer snide comparison, do a little research and get those d@rn pesky facts straight!
    How you righties forget want you want to.

    When the Libs scream that “Bush did it toooo” ask them to compare and contrast Bush’s speech and his teacher guide with BOs. One was about glorifying BO (at least until it was exposed), the other is about AMERICA and why it is glorious.

    Teacher’s Guide

    Objective
    The students will be able to demonstrate the skill of summarization.

    Lesson
    The class will examine White House Historical ABC’s.

    Students will choose three of their favorite ‘letters’ and share one of them with the class, describing why they enjoyed that ‘letter’ the most.
    Extension Activity One
    Create an ‘ABC’ list centering on the themes of patriotism, responsibility, character traits, or the school motto.

    Extension Activity Two
    Create an ‘ABC’ type of activity using the student’s name or the school name that centers on the themes of patriotism, responsibility, history, character traits, or the school motto.

    Parent’s Guide

    After your child explores White House Historical ABC’s, use the following example questions to extend his/her thinking:

    Name one of the President’s pets.
    Which three of the ‘letters’ were your favorites?
    What did you learn about the White House through the White House Historical ABC’s?

    Use the letters in your first name to make a list of your favorite reasons for living in America

    DOES ANYONE SEE ANYTHING IN THIS STUDY GUIDE ON WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP THE PRESIDENT?

    Still, What’s Fair for the Public if one party buys all the stations. All the owners are Right wing. I’m tired of Tokyo Rose, Oops, I mean Tokyo Rush Owning the Public air waves.

    If there was only one radio station across the country, and all it broadcasts was one duck quacking, People would still tune in and listen. And they would be #1, and people would say “well I guess no one wants to hear anything else. Well us Democrats do !
    They do the one radio station quacking in N. Korea. Enough with the stupidity, it’s time

    If we can get smart kids interested in politics; the rest will take care of itself (when they sort out their own philosophies through their experiences). Politically, though, raising the spectre of a proselytizing Obama might be a win-win for the right. I would hope both sides could get to the point of forgoing the scorched earth policy they have pursued lately. But, they won’t.

    Rush Owning the Public air waves.
    Wow, I do not even know where to start. Lets start with they will put anyone on who makes money. But old bull does not understand that concept.
    How about it is the only format the public good is served because it is the only one you the public who have an opinion can call up and agree or disagree. But I guess old bull can’t have anything that is not lock step with the chosen ones decrees.

    If Rush does not sell product, he loses sponsors. Sponsors keep him on the air. Are sponsors wanting to sell products willing to pay a liberal counter voice? Not if they don’t sell the product because no one listens to commieo, pinko,gayo, aborto liberals.

    harleyquinnGenius_badge said, 2 months ago

    Like I have already posted we should not pick on Old bull so much. all that posting and still can not understand the concept that Air America can not make money because no one wants to listen to it. The Guys on the air right now are there because they entertain and make money. It is just becoming more and more naked. The tub Michel Moron is coming out with a movie called “Capitalism” mmm I wonder if he is for it or against the concept?
    Where is that Donahoo slap down?

    MAN you guys are dense. What lib station can you advertise on ? And when you own 1200 stations you can hand out deals on advertising. A one stop shopping, like wal-mart. Buy here and you dont have to deal with all those small stations. And then you starve them out, even if you have to drop your price to where your loosing money
    You get all the tax breaks, over an independent. Your the wal-mart of radio. If the shoe was on the other foot, You’d be screaming ! You dont even want Obama to be on the TV this morning, for 20 minuets. If it were Rush instead, you wouldn’t think twice.
    You get the best Democracy MONEY can buy. You forget, It’s PUBLIC AIR WAVES, not the RICH 1% who talks to the 20%, (OK I’ll give you 28%). I WANT MY COUNTRY,(Oop’s) MY RADIO BACK ! I WANT MY PUBLIC AIR WAVES BACK !
    Let’s say there are six radio stations in a small town ( small towns are my BIGGEST concern, if you dont live in one then it’s hard for you to understand ) that has six stations and three are owned by one right wing company that leaves 3 that are own by another Right wing company. Does a Lib station stand a chance to start a new station, and get in ? Can they under cut the other two companies and still stay in business ? Will advertisers take a chance on an untried station ?
    As long as the owners will not diversify their programing then they should be Fined for unfair use of the air waves, change or pay, its up to them.
    Republicans lost the elections, Then why do they have 90% of the air waves ? Have your share, we dont want to take that away, it’s yours, have it, we dont want it ! Oh, and BTW Take ours too ? Your entitled to 28%, but that’s it.
    28% of the Public Air Waves are yours the rest are Ours.(LOL)
    What I dont understand is why you support this type of censorship. Is it because you feel it supports you agenda ? Will you feel the same way When it turns on you ?
    America is about free speech. Why are you afraid of it ? We only want what’s ours.

    PS When Randi Rhodes was on a small local station, in Republican Florida, she was on at the same time as Rush, she had more listeners than he did for months, and then they moved her.

    Public air ways?
    What is public about the equipment to run the stations? what is public about the money spent for the entertainment? What is public? Oh the regulation to make sure that one station does not bleed into another’s station. That is all and that is all the government should do! As for the content? If they don’t listen it does not pay. RR has a small time and shock flash in the pan like almost everything I have heard about the left. When held up to the light she could not hold it with the big boys and went away crying. Had she had what it takes then she would have led Air head America maybe into something. In fact back when you could find it I agree she was the only one who knew what she was doing. BUT she turned into a whiner who just played bounce your boobies one to many times!
    So you have again shown your colors old bull. “Public Airways” we need to because we can not do it the the government should do it for us!

    You really dont know anything do you. So you think you can just fire up a radio station and go for it, Cuss your little brains out, yell fire, say the taliban has taken over New York ? Play Hitler speeches all day long, kill the Jews ! They’re Public air waves, not airways which are also regulated by the the FAA not FCC

    You should see if the FCC has a coloring book, maybe you could learn from something like that. I know I tried, and it seems we’ve gotten no further than from where we started.

  49. harleyquinn

    harleyquinnGenius_badge said, 2 months ago

    I know this. If someone were to go on the air and act like a idiot well duh, yes there are “rules” for that. duh,
    If someone wants to give an opinion on the radio that is not out right stupid and does not break the “rules” well go for it. there are many ways to do it. If someone wants to go into radio and spew the most left wing pro Obama stupidity well you can do that to. You will just have to suffer the consequence of “peer” review and ridicule.
    BUT if you want someone to pay YOU for it well you have to make it informative and entertaining. Air hosed can not do it shoot my tax money that runs NPR can not do it. but both are there. You are just upset that the left built it and no one came to the party.
    So again I know you want it “fair” because you can not compete. So you do what all leftties do, Big government come and give me what I want and I will worship you.
    OUT!
