You are not even able to distinguish between their personas. You’ve lumped them all together under one caricature.

Savage I’ve only heard once or twice and he did indeed strike me as “screamy.” In fact, it’s been floated that maybe he’s a caricatured conservative, an undercover operator of sorts. I haven’t listened long enough to tell, but he did strike me that way.

Coulter is pure acid political humor. Can be really funny, but sometimes burns too deep.

Malkin and Limbaugh are conservative commentary. Malkin has actually engaged in serious investigative journalism, and she is someone who has not only the courage of her convictions, but a grounding in facts. She’s pretty serious and straightforward. Her “persona” is who she is.

Limbaugh comes at it from an entertainment perspective. He has a goofy egomaniacal schtick (talent on loan from Goddddd, the golden mike, El Rushbo, etc.), but he does it to poke fun at his critics. He also does free-thinking analysis of MSM reports. That’s what I think the draw is: just one guy’s brain, one man’s independent thought, against the political and media elite. I find his take refreshing, funny, and principled. There’s a reason for his enduring success. (I always tuned him out when he went on about sports, though. Bo-ring!)

I think we should prescribe you three weeks of daily Rush, all three hours. Wish I could prescribe that for every lib who whines about how “hateful” he is but hasn’t listened to more than a five-minute clip. A lib thinks anyone is “hateful” who pokes more holes in their already hole-y philosophy. “You hurt my feelings by disagreeing with me, so you’re hateful!” As Malkin would say, call the waaah-mbulance.

Anyway, I would consider it an honor and a privilege if you would add my blog “The Tygrrrr Express” http://www.blacktygrrrr.wordpress.com to your list of linked sites if you feel the quality is high.

I came across your blog through Michelle Malkin’s website, since I enjoy her writing.

Happy summer.

Conservative talk is successful because they have a decent product. Liberal talk hasn’t been as successful because they don’t have the style, the delivery nor the message.

Liberal radio has to come up with good personalities and it’s own ‘ideas’ in order for it to fly. It can’t just be ‘anti-conservative talk’, they have to create something that can stand on it’s own. Not something that is merely a foil for conservative talk.

Since they haven’t, well there you have it. It’s the same problem that they’ve had in Congress and just can’t seem to understand.

I have to say I wonder why someone who ‘knows’ beyond dispute that conservative talk radio uses “The angry white male ranting in the darkness’ radio format” despite the fact that he “listen(s) to no talk radio” could take so long to back up his ‘facts’.

I wonder why he would choose to “spent a long time studying the delivery and content of Rush and Savage, Michael Moore and Al Franken, Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin.” when he has not spent the time to study their delivery and content first hand.

I wonder who he chose to filter his ‘studies’ and why he would presume second hand information to be superior to the original source.

And yes, I am tired of being told about ‘angry white males’ and “lies” that “are amply debunked all across the web with documentation” from people who have never bothered to find this out for themselves, firsthand.

But I suppose ‘everybody knows it’ so why bother, right?

Isn’t that the basis of communism? Forfeiting freedom for security? The problem with this behavior is that it is often done without true consideration, or “counting of the cost,” for what the forfeiture of freedom for more government control will re…

Blogger LaShawn Barber is one of my favorites. She’s a good sensible Christian woman whose comments on current events are not to be missed. She writes a commentary on a little dust up among some liberal folks who want the radio airwaves to be filled w…

Exactly – it means to me that each and every one of us should get our very own show!

Oh boy folks.

Anyone who ever wanted a conspiracy theory in regards to the Democratic party just got dealt a full house hand, that they can use carte blanch to point fingers at every decision the Democrats have and or will make.

Democrats prepare…

I eventually concluded that while talk radio definitely has its faults because it’s primarily an opinion format. But, unlike NPR, which is careful to give 98% of its interview shows to people with whom the hosts agree, talk radio hosts such as He…

Never mind about Michael Moore and Al Franken and never mind about a “countless” list. Would JohnD please list three lies each for Rush, Savage, Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin?

That should be no challenge for someone who has…” (via the internet) spent a long time studying the delivery and content of Rush and Savage, Michael Moore and Al Franken, Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin.”

“The only accurate group you mentioned was liberals.”

1. Please explain where I did that?

2. Accurate by what measure?

The charges against Savage and Elizabeth Smart are new to me and in the context presented, they are disturbing. But then the site person freely calls Savage a “monster” which more or less informs me that context might not be the main target.

If all the folks, right and left are so distasteful to JohnD, I would think his conclusions would be satisfying and he would move on to concentrating on his music. Does JohnD have an itch he can’t scratch or does he have a missionary zeal to get people to see the world the way he views it?

I would dearly love to have a liberal to listen to who will drop the PC stuff and get to the nuts and bolts of his “progressive” ideas. I would dearly love to have seen the open hearings in the Senate on the creation of the Amnesty Bill. But they didn’t have any, did they? I would dearly love to have a liberal on the radio who could explain the Amnesty Bill and take callers and fight the fight. Ditto for universal health care, public education, radical Islam, trade policy, balance of payments, employment, entitlements, taxation, the deficit, and on and on.

It is not as if there isn’t an agenda for liberals to express their clear and compelling logic.

Maybe their logic is not so clear and compelling.
