Randi Rhodes is missing; at least that’s the way it seems for many of her listeners. The liberal talk show host is currently on some sort of leave from her gig at Nova M radio. Read more, photo and video below.
Randi Rhodes
Randi Rhodes is the (excuse me for saying this) Rush Limbaugh for progressive talk shows. But unlike Rush,she has had some trouble in the past with a potty mouth and fighting with radio executives. Rhodes just quit liberal radio “giant� Air America not long ago; over what she calls a contract dispute and now this. This message was left on the Nova M site by Anita Drobny:
To all of Randi’s listeners;
You are all correct – I have not had the option to disclose what has been happening between Randi and Nova M…
You see, it’s in her contract that she has total control, but, after Wednesday night, I want you all to know that Nova M has done everything we can to get her back on the air.
All this is her choice; if she wants to tell you all what the issue is, then I hope she does, but I can’t according to her contract rules.
But I can tell you this I have wanted her back on the air. She’s an amazing talent and needs to be heard.
Thank you all for all of your support.
Randi now has to make her decisions as to what she must do with her career…
Anita Drobny
Liberals have been wailing for some time now over the unfairness of talk radio. Maybe I should say the lopsidedness of talk radio. Talk radio has been the one thing that conservatives have been able to rely on during the craziness of the last fifteen years or so. First it got us through the Clinton years relatively intact, and then it helped us repel the onslaught of liberals in congress and the media as they all became ill with Bush derangement syndrome.
Rhodes had previously been suspended from Air America for a expletive laced tirade at a public event, she was also reprimanded for bashing of all people Hillary Clinton. Looks like Rhodes is on the outs again, not really sure for what this time, could be perhaps that this liberal radio station is on the way out anyway.
Either way, this doesn’t bode well for conservatives and freedom lovers. The democrats have been raising the issue of the Fairness Doctrine in the last few weeks. Even former President Clinton has gotten into the act. The disappearance, firing, or exit of Rhodes will only fuel that argument further. This is the letter you will find when you go to Rhodes’ website:
TO ALL:
NOVA M RADIO HAS NOT YET CORRECTED THE PROBLEM THAT HAS KEPT ME OFF THE AIR
DESPITE MY STRONG DESIRE AND READINESS TO BROADCAST MY SHOW. RESPECTING THE
EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP THAT HAS EXISTED BETWEEN NOVA M AND ME, AND
EXPECTING THE SOLUTION TO BE QUICKLY ACHIEVED, DETALIS OF THE TRIGGERING
EVENT WERE WITHHELD IN GOOD FAITH. BUT I CAN TELL YOU THIS MUCH: ANY
STATEMENT IMPLICATING ME AS BEING IN ANY WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISRUPTION
IN THE RANDI RHODES SHOW IS PATENTLY FALSE. THIS ENTIRE SITUATION IS
SOLELY WITHIN THE CONTROL OF NOVA M.
IN LIGHT OF MOST RECENT DEVELOPMENTS, MY SHOW WILL BE SEEKING A NEW HOME.
I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR CONTINUED PATIENCE AND INDULGENCE IN RESPECTING MY
RIGHTS DURING THIS TIME. YOUR UNWAVERING SUPPORT IS CHERISHED. THANK YOU.RANDI RHODES

I am convinced that the popularity of conservative talk radio is not just due to conservatives and right wingers. I think many people in the country rely on this type of media to get closer to the truth about what is going on in the country and know the total biasness of the leftist media and main stream media does not offer a balanced presentation of what is going on.
February 16th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Hope that whatever dispute the station and rhodes has, they can settle the same the soonest possible time… The listeners are waiting for her come back.. they shouldn’t make the waiting long… or if she is indeed fired, then they must say so.. so that there would be no rumors surrounding the issue..
February 16th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Yes we need Randi Rhodes back on the radio. In the past, Air America jerked her around so she left the company. Maybe it’s the same thing now with Nova M. She probably has legal reasons why she hasn’t let the public know what’s going on yet.
By the way, Randi’s show leans to the left but there is no such thing as leftist media. If anything, the media as a whole leans far to the right.
We have Fox Republican News which is just what it’s name suggests … a right-wing propaganda machine with Hannity and Bill-O always pushing the Republican talking points and being obviously biased. Fox is so FAR to the right that they aren’t even considered a real news organization any more. They’re actually an entertainment company. We also have CNN which is right of the middle with Anderson Cooper, and we have MSNBC which is left of the middle with Keith Olbermann. Actually MSNBC starts the day with the “Morning Joeâ€? show and Scarborough is very right wing so you might say that MSNBC leans to the right. But let’s say MSNBC and CNN balance each other out. Fox pushes it way to the right. Then on the radio we have people like Rush and Michael Weiner (Savage) leading the Republican party into oblivion. They are VERY popular, but ONLY amongst their base, which is about 1/3 the voters and getting smaller as long as they embrace the same ideas. Rush calls them “ditto headsâ€?. “Dittoâ€? means “same as aboveâ€?… they all think alike.
February 16th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Hey Pandaman, If you think MSNBC is anything but left wing then I can’t help you bud.
February 16th, 2009 at 10:18 pm
I can hear the blue monkeypeople singing ding dong the witch is dead. The biggest problem with Randi Rhodes other than living in a stereotypically liberal thought-bubble is that nobody wants to listen to her. Her ratings completely suck because she sucks. Why should she be cluttering the airwaves?
February 17th, 2009 at 2:50 am
Yeah, that’s right. She’s like Godfrey Cambridge. Give her a radio show or she’ll move next door to you. As a fan, a witness to the SF appearance posted above and someone who has met the lady on more than one occasion, I get more straight info and news on what’s really happening in the nation and the world by listening to her show than I’d ever get from Fox News, or as I like to call it, Pravda.
As for Windbag, Billo and the rest I have this question to ask. Why do you all shrink from what YOU and YOUR FRIENDS have wrought? Republican misrule is responsible for quadrupling the national debt, two wars halfway around the world, failing to either prevent 9/11 or bringing those responsible to justice, turning the US military into the Wehrmacht, Military contractors into SS Einzatsgruppen, the worst deprssion since 1929 and and all-out assault on the Rule of Law itself.
Now is the time for Republicans to see how important the Rule of Law really is. What if Obama were to adopt the Bush playbook? What if he used warrantless wiretaps to spy on right-wing commentators? What if he used the Justice Dept. to target Republican officeholders and officials? What if he decided to call all of YOU enemy combatants and render you to Syria, Egypt, Kazakhstan or some other nameless prison in a faraway land?
Do you now see how important the Rule of Law is?
Ms Rhodes has ALWAYS been a warrior for truth, even when that truth was unpleasant to Democrats. It’s not her fault that most of that truth has been unpleasant for Republicans.
So keep believing in your illusions as your “friends” sell you out to the Chinese, the Indians and the Saudis. They’re your new landlords now and your eviction notices are coming, along with mapquest directions to your new homes in Harbin in that OTHER Red State, China.

What is really absurd is the attempt above to link “conservatives” and “freedom”.
Now that’s funny.
Or, mildly amusing at the minimum.
February 17th, 2009 at 8:38 am
Buzz,
And you think that Liberals that have put generations of people on public assistance is freedom?
Randi Rhodes couldn’t find her way out of room full of doors. She is irrelevant because she is not on real radio. And if she were, no one would listen. People don’t listen to liberal talk radio because it is not about ideas, it is about name calling and putting people down. Liberal only have on idea and that is public assistance for every area of life. Who but a liberal wants to here that?
Freedom is to have a choice in what you do and how you do it. Conservatives believe the government should stay out of peoples lives.
Here is a test you can apply to what the private sector and what the government should do.
The government should do what the private sector:
Can’t, Won’t and Shouldn’t do.
Think about it or if you have friend that can think, have them explain it to you.
February 17th, 2009 at 9:42 am
George–you are obviously confused as all conservatives are.
“Freedom is to have a choice in what you do and how you do it. Conservatives believe the government should stay out of peoples lives.”
Really? They don’t act that way from my experience.
I’m sure you’ve heard of the illegal wiretaps GWB performed, completely trashing the right to privacy in the name of supporting his foolish unnecessary war?
Conservatives think “freedom” involves thrusting themselves into a Dr./Patient relationship, and, denying their fellow citizens of a right they enjoy themselves, as can be seen in their inability to understand that “freedom” is for ALL–not just those you agree with.
Your welfare comment makes absolutely no sense, and has nothing to do with the discussion.
Sorry, George, you are totally clueless, and, the last thing I need is an explanation from the clowns who are responsible for our current mess, and, the trashing of the Consitution,
about your warped sense of “freedom”.
Perhaps you would benefit from understanding Economic Democracy. Check it out. It’s from the Citizen’s party platform of 1980.
Do you folks still not get it? Your social experiment with de-regulation, and not paying for what you use, (Reaganomics) has reached its logical end.
It took thirty years, with an assist from Bubba Clinton, but, you finally ran the country into the ground with your bankrupt policies and irresponsible ideas.
I hope that was helpful.
Conservatives are the antithesis of “freedom”, and it should be clear to anyone who cares to look.
Conservatives are intrusive into the lives of others, care not one bit about the rule of law (Gitmo,torture) and, are a complete waste of space, and have no idea what living in a free nation requires.
If you don’t grasp the truth and simplicity of my words, perhaps Sarah Palin can explain it to you.
Ha! You’re kidding, right?
Right?
The principles of Economic Democracy, are, what will turn this GOP trainwreck around.
Had we followed that, rather than Reagan’s foolishness, we would be way better off. You Friedmanistas will never get it, I’m convinced.
I will say that “conservatives” have created millions of jobs—–in China.
You lost folks. Time for a new, sensible, direction. Get over it or get out of the way.

Pandaman;
“By the way, Randi’s show leans to the left but there is no such thing as leftist media. If anything, the media as a whole leans far to the right.”
Really ?
How then do you account for a media that infact does promote a liberal point of view being that 75% of op ed authors in the countrys print are registerd democrats ?
Anderson Cooper is on the right ?
How far up your $$ did you have to reach to pull that one out ?
Have you witnessed his blind devotion to this stimulus in his reporting ? Have you not noticed how most of his documentaries are focused on the theory that if only the US redistributed more wealth around the world we could solve problems that are not ours ?
Do you not realize that many journalists will ask questions not out of fairness but rather only to project the image of fairness ?
Ismael;
” Windbag, Billo and the rest I have this question to ask. Why do you all shrink from what YOU and YOUR FRIENDS have wrought?

What humongous delusional crock of sh*t.
Did it occur to you ever that conducting national security on the levels Bush applied costs money ?
Money that Clinton sat on only to accumulate so he could establish a surplus while our security went to sh*t ?
We shrink from what we have wrought ?
Hardly, as Obama levels against the country its largest deficit ever in any countries history while only a small percentage goes to national security.
Please, try again, and take you WW2 N*zi assertions against our troops and citizens and shove it up your a$$.
You’re a dispicable POS.

How does that Dali Bama butt flavored kool-aid taste?
You sound like the talking points for the liberals.
Liberalism is a mental disorder and you are most likely eligible for some public assistance. There is nothing like getting other peoples money that makes you libs feel better.
But you keep on thinking that liberals are champions of freedom if you want. Got to the public housing in you area and ask them. Go to Iraq and ask them. Go to the school in morning when over half the kids are eating free breakfast because they come from homes on public assistance. The Assistance that has so many rules that it entraps generation after generation. Is that freedom?
Buzz I know you think Bush is all evil, but unless you were making calls overseas and talking about bombs and planes and terror, you had nothing to fear. You are like every liberal and you take the truth and change it to a lie to make people fearful.
Name me a freedom you lost in the last 8 years.
You can’t because you didn’t lose any unless you are a terrorist.
You guys only have one idea. Take someone else’s money and give to people that will piss it away. And the stand up and say look what a good thing we did. We are good because we care about people.
As for the jobs you mentioned. Think about this. Most of the jobs that moved oversea did so because all you libs can do is tax and tax and then tax the tax. You don’t realize that when you tax a business out of business, they have a choice of moving overseas or going belly up. I know you would prefer belly up because that would add another person to the public toll. Now that is real freedom. The kind you all can dictate to people.
You would not know freedom if it kicked you in the head because you think that you are smarter than anyone and they you have all the answers.
Other then that, I agree with you.
February 17th, 2009 at 10:22 am

“Really? They don’t act that way from my experience.”
Well, the view of those still in potty training is to be accounted for.
“Sorry, George, you are totally clueless, and, the last thing I need is an explanation from the clowns who are responsible for our current mess, and, the trashing of the Consitution,
about your warped sense of “freedom”
Hmmm… thats right, we had nothing to do with the economy suddenly tanking as soon as what has been described as the worst congress in this countrys history came to town.
Or the lasting effects of Carter and Clintons CRA finally coming to its abysmal fruition.
Freedom, yes, the same thing we fought for over 200 years ago is threatened to be removed by Obama.
Private property rights, capitalism, freedom from governmental interventionism will be a thing of the past.
Knock it off with the Gitmo torture crap already.
It just makes you look like a hypersensative weenie.
Those detainees went thru nothing more than what a freshman pledge would of gone through which amounts to serious case of embarassment and ridicule, it was not “torture”.
BFD.
Economic democracy ?
Hahahahahahah, what the hell is that supposed to mean ?
Taking money from those who earned it and giving it to those who didnt ?
“Spreading the wealth” ?
WTF is “economic democracy”
We lost this one, but as history indicates the odd are not in your favor as in the last 28 presidential elections the GOP has won 18 of them, with more and more frequency since WW2
February 17th, 2009 at 10:47 am
Micky,
I think what Buss means is the “Economic Democracy” is the great society that his hero LBJ started. You know were you get money for living in public housing, and food and metal care all for nothing. All you have to do is follow the rules and you will be treated well. Now you can’t move out and you can’t get a job and you can’s have a man living with you. You have to bust up the family to enjoy the Economic Democracy.
They have done to the schools what they have done to families on public assistance. You see they still believe in slavery but this time around there is no work required. But hey, it Freedom.
Randi Rhodia and Buss might be the same person. They sound a lot alike.
February 17th, 2009 at 10:48 am
I meant Medical Care. Metal Care is extra.
February 17th, 2009 at 11:40 am
I’m certainly glad I found this humorous site by accident. It really is quite incredible to read some of this revisionist history. Were you folks in a coma for the last eight years, or something?
Several things…I am not a Democrat, nor, am I a Republican (obviously). Both share the blame—The GOP for worthless economic ideas, and, the Dems for following their lame plans.
Think NAFTA and Reagan’s de-regulation schemes of the 80s.
It is incredible to hear some of these failed fools still spewing the same BS. Tax cuts–less regulation….waaaahhh. What a pack of infantile buffoons.
More of what got us here is definitely NOT an option. Reagan and Friedman are gone, thankfully, but their fetid spirits still permeate the area and need to be exorcised.
Now, Micky, since your Googlehand seems to have fallen asleep along with your brain, I’ll give you a short synopsis, but, I ain’t doin’ your homework for ‘ya.
Pay attention. I always type slowly when debating “conservatives”.
Economic democracy simply states that the business of business is business, and, the business of Gummint, is to regulate that business to avoid abuses. Gee–that might have been helpful in avoiding this mess, eh?
(As anyone who ever picked up a history book knows, business is incapable of regulting themselves—never have been able to, and, never will–you certainly must understand that much).
They create these situations themselves, and, the occasional correction is necessary. Unfortunately, they were allowed to proceed for far too long, this time.
The infrastructure, and regulatory apparatus will NOT be run by those who have a monetary interest—the PEOPLE (scary word for a conservative) own this domain, not a pack of handpicked jackals who will look the other way, as they clearly have for the last 30 years.
Now–for some specific answers to your queries.

But you keep on thinking that liberals are champions of freedom if you want.
“I never said anything of the sort. Liberals are as capable of trashing the Constitution as the GOP, and, have already done so by passing the so called “Patriot Act”.

“Yes, it is. Do you have a point leading to a logical conclusion of some sort? What’s next, Reagan’s “welfare Cadillac” ridiculousness? If you are so unable to see the corruption, waste, and downright thievery going on in Iraq, you’re beyond help. I’d much rather have my tax dollars support a needy American, than spend it fixing something that should never have been broke, while at the same time, enriching my cronies, like Dick (very aptly named BTW) Cheney. Get it yet?”
Buzz I know you think Bush is all evil, but unless you were making calls overseas and talking about bombs and planes and terror, you had nothing to fear.
“Total BS–Do you even know what the Fourth Amendment says? Doesn’t seem like it. It is very clear, and, it is also fact, that before he obtained his flimsy cover, GWB was already violating it. I hope he gets prosecuted for war crimes.”

“Give me an example from anything I’ve posted. Unlike you, I have sources that are verifiable for any charges I make. Again–give me and example of a lie I wrote above.”
Name me a freedom you lost in the last 8 years.
You can’t because you didn’t lose any unless you are a terrorist.
“You really don’t know what the Fourth Amendment says, do you? As I stated above, GWB was violating this most important part of a nation remaining free, even before it became quasi-legal. All lose freedom when folks like GWB, and his fellow criminals, fail to respect the Constitution.

As to your tax, tax, tax, mantra, it is high time for folks who consider themselves to be American companies PAY YOUR DAMN TAXES you un-American clowns. Anyone who moves their business offshore for tax purposes are traitors. You also miss the obvious point of offshoring—-slave labor!! Wake up, Mon.”
You would not know freedom if it kicked you in the head because you think that you are smarter than anyone and they you have all the answers.
“Well, I did get an A in Civics class back in 1964, if that’s what you mean. And, you sound like a rather young, inexperienced person with very little background in what you spew. I served two tours in Nam with the 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne, so please spare me your sophomoric “you don’t know what freedom is, crapola”. I can tell you what Freedom is NOT—starting useless wars and trashing the most important document ever written in this Nation.
If that’s what you support, it is clear who has no idea of what freedom is.”
Other then that, I agree with you.

Good Morning, Mr. Ex-Vice President! Your waterboard is ready!
February 17th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Buss,
You are an angry liberal. And you are wrong.
And the fourth amendment is as follows. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
It was a law passed by both parties. We pass laws in times of war that protect us all.
Please name any incident since the Patriot Act that violated any American’s 4Th Amendment Rights.
What would you have done after 911? Nothing like the rest of you liberals. Sit and have a Bud with Osama.
Let’s see, WWII-FDR (D) Koren War-HST (D) Vietnam-JFK (D) Gulf War-GHWB (R) Iraq-GWB (R)
All of these wars have made it possible for you to have freedom.
And by the way, when someone says they are not either liberal or conservative, I puke. Be something even if you are wrong. Don’t be a limp weenie.
February 17th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
Buzz; (indicative of chemically induced thought)
“Several things…I am not a Democrat, nor, am I a Republican (obviously). Both share the blame—The GOP for worthless economic ideas, and, the Dems for following their lame plans.”
Yes, what’s better known as someone who is too lame to convict to certain set of principles based on any political persuasion. Or, better known as “fair weather friends, fence sitters”
Yes, both do share the blame, neither party is really adhering anymore to the core principles that define it.
But in the hopes of promoting the fiscally responsible and small government mandate of the republican party I will still defend a republican, no matter hoe flawed, as its more likely that we will achieve these principles as opposed to backing an economic theory based on wealth redistribution/socialism. Which in itself is interventionism, which is the epitome of the interruption of freedoms.
Interventionism, being the exact opposite of freedom.
Our core beliefs that the country was founded on were established to give each man control of his own property, be it capital, or land.
In the theory that Baa is propelling we see the opposite by the wealth being taken out of our hands and placed in the control of the government to do as it pleases with the presumption that the American public will not direct these funds in their respective directions.
Buzz, I dare you to explain to me with any rationale how this stimulus bill makes us more free.
When you can do that without childish bashing generalities you can come back and speak to me as if you have a clue as to why a bill or economic theory such as this one we see being signed today will actually make you more prosperous or free.
“As anyone who ever picked up a history book knows, business is incapable of regulating themselves—never have been able to, and, never will”
What color is the sky on your planet ?
America has existed on the foundation of the free market for centuries.
The simple self regulatory attribute would be supply and demand.
That is what drives our free market to regulate itself as it always have.
I wont even insult my intelligence by giving you an example.
You re assertion that the market cannot regulate itself is the dumbest f*cking thing I’ve ever heard out of the mouth of anyone who claims to the first thing about financial propriety in America.
Supply and demand is the institution that has always driven our economy as opposed to the many examples of how governmental interventionism yields nothing more than more interventionism.
Wise up.
Show me where any financial institution or enterprise run by government has yielded a profit ?
If it does, its not a privately owned institution and so right there you have the loss of private property much in the sense that many banks are turning down the TARP due to excessive regulations on behalf of the fed.
You seem to be under the impression that “freedom” means to be free from failure, or free to lean on other peoples funding.
“It’s folks like you, and the GOP who are spending MY money on your foolish, useless wars. You should be whining about the billions of dollars unaccounted for given to the “contractorâ€? parasites like Blackwater and their ilk. ”
Unfortunately, and since you claim no allegiance to either party, you’re stuck and f*cked on this one as both party’s voted deeming both wars necessary.
Try again.
First you critique the patriot act’
“trashing the Constitution as the GOP, and, have already done so by passing the so called “Patriot Actâ€?.
And then you move on to state that we have lost no rights in the last 8 years ?
Obviously the patriot act did not trample on the constitution if we still have those rights.
Right ?
“Total BS–Do you even know what the Fourth Amendment says? Doesn’t seem like it. It is very clear, and, it is also fact, that before he obtained his flimsy cover, GWB was already violating it. I hope he gets prosecuted for war crimes.”
Typical code pink moonbat rant.
Obama himself, the supreme court, has also deemed the patriot act along with wireless phone tapping “not” to be illegal, and will continue to maintain that useful tool.
Obama was one of just 21 Democrats to back the bill originally back in July 2008.
“What do you call throwing away Billions of dollars on a useless, unnecessary war that should never have been? ”
Once again, I will refer you to the majority of elected officials on both sides that deemed both wars necessary.
In addition, this is only your opinion.
“Why? Do you have something against following our own laws?”
Not at all.
I do have something against people blowing stupid little fiascos at the hands of misguided military way way way out of proportion and calling it torture.
You say you did two tours in Nam ?
You should know better.
“You really have been in a coma haven’t you? C’mon……â€?”
C’mon your face.
Make your point, refute the fact they were indeed not tortured but simply mistreated or continue looking like the looney conspiracy theorist you are.
“Just tellin’ the truth and keepin’ it real.â€?
You have established no truth whatsoever, only that you have your own wishful renditions of history in place.
You have no documentation or references to back any of your half baked BS
Whats “real” to you is a very self absorbed concept.
February 17th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Micky,
Buss is a Dalai Bama butt flavored kool-aid drinker. He says he drinks Bud. I bet that is the best part of the morning for You Buzz.
You have not idea what time it is do you Buzz?
February 17th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Oh yeah,
And because you served in a war does not make you anymore qualified to tell me what freedom is then someone who didn’t!
God gave us Freedom. It is up to us to keep it. There are forces foreign and domestic that hate freedom. I don’t need you to tell what freedom is.

I’m not a particular fan of Randi myself. Her outsized ego and endless irritability on the radio is annoying; usually she thinks she’s much more funny than I think she is. Oftentimes, Randi doesn’t even really hear the point the caller is attempting to make, before she goes off on a different tangent. I can’t imagine why anyone bothers calling into the show! I think there are numerous other radio personalities, from Ron Reagan to the present Nancy Skinner, who are just as knowledgeable and much easier and pleasanter to listen to. I wish Randi well, but really don’t miss her.

Hey, conservative talk is easy; it plays on our fears and prejudices. The talkers may have education but the listeners are for the most part, of a lower education and they fear change. How else could one explain West Virginia coal miners railing against unions and on the side of the mine owners LOL
It’s always been easier to cry the sky is falling.
Liberal radio, on the other hand, is all about change and that requires risk, it is unsettling. Liberal thought requires a deeper knowledge i.e. of laws, how gov’t operates etc. It is a much tougher sell.
Just remember, the founders of the country were the liberals of their time. The right were the Loyalists Who was right?

We need something like we have now in talk radio, but a little more organized and with a little more heft. Hitler wasn’t the sharpest tool in the box but at least he had people who were so loyal to his government that they basically took control of the “less than patriotic” types in their midst.
If everyone who listens to talk radio could be convinced of getting on the same page liberalism would go to the ash heap of history.
