Question for Limbaugh, Boortz or Hannity listeners...

[Rasputin_Vol]

Did (or have) any of these guys mentioned Ron Paul's record fundraising yesterday on their shows today?

I wasn't able to hear all of Rush today, but it seems like all of the so-called conservative talk shows are going out of their way to ignore this story. From the bits and pieces I did hear today, Rush was babbling about some girl in Alaska crying about global warming. Neil Boortz was talking about some lecture he gave in Athens last night.

if these are the 2 things that these guys have to scrape the bottom of the barrel for in order to avoid talking about Ron Paul, then they are as phony as a $3 bill. It's almost comical... rush having to go all the way to Alaska to avoid Ron Paul.

No clue, did they?

why do they need to talk about Ron Paul? Sure, he raised 3.5 million in one day, but as Barak Obama has discovered, there's more to winning the nomination than just being a good fundraiser. When Paul's Pat Buchanan-esque libertarianism polls better than 3 or 4% he might get some more attention.

MG, Your right about Barak. He has very deep pockets. (Warren Buffett) . I still dont care for the man.

Boortz talks about Ron Paul today and reflects on an 11 minute call to his show yesterday by a Ron Paul supporter.

I have already signed up to receive Ron Paul campaign material via email. I'll spend time going over his positions, especially in areas where we disagree. If I come to the conclusion that Ron Paul in the White House would not weaken our country or our economy ... and if he is willing to give a fair and rational consideration of the FairTax ... then I'll be much more disposed to support him.

Actually, I would expect Neal Boortz to be inclined to give Ron Paul a serious look. Boortz is about as libertarian as anybody on the radio.

I don't know. I saw Hannity do a whole show on why Leatherface Mullet man said the "N" word. I turned the channel as fast as humanly possible. How do some of these "journalists" live with themselves.

Somebody just needs to take out Rush, Hannity, and any extreme liberal nuts from any media access.

Idiots

Extremes in this country want to make me puke.

Talk about the dumbing down of America. Not stereotyping all listeners or viewers but there is something inherently lazy about those who are spoonfed info from pundits and stop there and take it for gospel truth. Go the extra mile and verify anything you hear. Most crap from these pundits on the extremes is more sensational journalism and/or garbage only to boost ratings and thus wallet size.

Nice post, Dizzy. I listen to the conservative radio, and generally enjoy it, as the Secular-Progressive people piss me off. But everyone has an agenda, be it good or bad. But they aren't reporters, they are commentators. The truth lies beyond the idiot box and the radio, problem being too many people are too lazy to look for it.

Mark Levin is good entertainment.

[CSpindizzy]

Yep. Good example is my membership in my county GOP. The chair is a little under this category. He forwards these emails about so-in-so is trying to stop such-in-such with some new law. Just a simple check at Snopes disproves it but yet a county party leader is emailing it to 100 people and telling them to forward it without checking?

I like to listen to Mike Savage, he's good for a laugh. He's a hateful human who looks down on those he consider's not as good as him, but it's a good chuckle in between the occasional square point.
