Thanks for remembering this was an opinion poll. I guess you prefer the "enlightened" punditry of CNN, MSNBC, and CBS/NBC/ABC, eh? Your grade has been changed. GRADE: F+
I approve. GRADE: A
It's all mostly propaganda. You've got to separate the wheat from the chaff, and then hit the internets. I don't listen to any of them, don't even have a TV.
In Blutarsky/Eric's World, which pundits/news outlets help conservatism and America? (assuming that's what you prefer) And which hurt?
Yes, I understand there is an element of statist propaganda at FOX, but it is more than offset by truth and pundits espousing conservative principles. If NOT from FOX, than whom do you recommend the Sheeple sharpen their head from on Tee-Bee? They just aren't going hang out at Free Republic.
Whatever he's drank, smoked, snorted, or popped, Beck has done more to educate and inform the sheeple in American history and "The Game" than any so-called "pundit" in Tee-Bee land. He won't get it all right, but the Man has the Sheeple moving in the right direction.
Were you wearing a blond wig about three years ago? You're clueless.
i can't stand any of them, never watch any MSM tripe, but the 3 i named (hannity, o'reilly, matthews) i personally find the most repulsive. don't even think for a moment that i'm a leftist, Lib.
Oh'Really Dreck Haven't you ever watched Olbermann? Maddow? Schultz? The COMMIE CHANNELs?? Guess not. Sure, Hannity and especially O'Reilly can be obnoxious/irritating, BUT... GRADE: F+ Which reminds me - No Michael Savage on that list? He deserves Honorable Mention for entertainment, honesty, truth-seeking, and slapping around Leftist callers.
Don't even think about freakrepugnant. You might turn into a bowl of GOP jello. Michael Savage is good if you filter out the zionist tripe.
I do understand the aversion to the Blowhard. And the irritation and statist shilling that can be Hannity. I guess they've made the list because you and others don't watch the dreck at CNN/MSNBC or the alphabet network pundits. No, I don't consider you a leftist in the least.
GRADE: M (as in "moron.") GRADE "Z" (FOR ZIONIST)
Lol...Better than a pillar of salt. We laugh about them, but there are some excellent conservative thinkers at FR. But consider this; There are over 300,000 (supposedly) registered posters. Michael Savage is good if you filter out the zionist tripe. Hey look - Israel deserves its own sovereign nation as much as Syria, Jordan, Egypt all got theirs from Britain. I understand that, Savage understands that, and The Sane understand that. Got a problem with Jews dominance and over-influence - I understand that, but I don't understand the insane "Joo" OCD over here even in threads where it shouldn't be ANY issue at all.
HA! That was...so....unpredictable!!
i haven't watched MSNBC or FOX in years. i did watch some of CNN's coverage of the Gulf disaster when it first happened. in my house, the tvs are only turned on for sports (husband) and sometimes an HBO show (me). our computer monitors are on 24/7 though.
Whatever. I don't even watch TV. Period. Those were the three that I know and detest from listening to them in the past, and from what gets printed about them. Television is a waste of time. As the late Marshall McLuhan put it: "Chewing Gum for the mind."
"One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order." K.M. Heaton, The National Educator
You suck.
You seeing major sh*t going down in DeeCee? The Left would have cut his balls off already IF they could; Beck's too big now to be muscled hard. He's on a Mission. The best they can do is have him tone down his rhetoric, but then their threats had better not be too sloppy or he'll flip it over on them. He is far more dangerous to the left than Rush and Hannity put together.
They just let anybody in here.
Well, in your defense you did pick Crissy Matthews. If you REALLY wanna blow a fuse, check out Olbermann/Maddow or the political liberal circle jerk shows... On second thought, continue staying away from TeeBee. It stinks (except for Sports/History Channel/occasional Beck.)
When one of "them" moves in the neighborhood goes to hell. As an aside Marshall McLuhan was a Canadian. "The medium is the message."

Those were the three that I know and detest from listening to them in the past, and from what gets printed about them. Leaving it to print media to help form your opinion of anyone or anything is a sin. Say three Hail Marys and two Our Fathers. TeeBee is only good for sports/History Channel/local "news", and the occasional Beck IMO. His show at times this past year has been spectacular and quite educational.
(yawn)
I had to look that up. Not sure if I agree with that or not. I wonder what he'd say about the Internet.
You're okay.
Me neither, but you have to admit it is a catchy phrase. ;-)

Like "Your door is a jar."? Which never made sense to me because how could a door be a jar?
My top 10 list of irritating media "personalities" is as follows; 1. Chrissey Doughboy Matthews 2. Olbermann 3. Maddow 4. Blitzer 5. O'Reilly 6. Larry O'King 7. Schultz 8. Levin 9. Shepster 10.Grace
You should've asked me for a drum roll. :-)

They all work hard at pissing me off, but Ed Schultz manages to edge out Keith Olbermann for me: Ed Schultz is just a whiny little brat.

In Stone's world, and the rest of the neocon world as well, as long as you throw the words "strict constructionist," "Constitution," "Founding Fathers," "Framers," etc. into the mix frequently, it's all good.

I give him kudos for putting his butt on the
line, unlike the others. IMVHO, the people who will oppose him in the street
will go thru him & them like siht through a goose. In that respect, he's
completely & totally unprepared for the radical hard left he could meet.
He is far more dangerous to the left than Rush and Hannity put
together.
#95. To: Liberator (#67)
Many, not all but many, of the so called "pro liberty" folks on most sites tend to be 90% blind to the hatred of the left, but focus in like a laser beam on anybody on the right or libertarian fronts who puts something out to a mass audience. I strongly suspect that many not all but many, so called "pro liberty" folks on most sites want to live in a fantasy dystopia where Big Brother is in control of everything and they can stand as the "lone victim, the last free man/woman" and such. It's a rather strange psychosis if you ask me. Not saying that Limbaugh or Hannity are good, they're mediocre clowns at best most of the time (though they make a good point now and then), but the sheer total silence on threads like this regarding Olberman, Maddow and those clowns is deafening isn't it?

Totally agree. He's not perfect, but he seems to be the only one who is actually trying. Sure, he's an entertainer, but the philosophical transformation he's going through, live on the air and over the course of the last almost two years, is very familiar to me because I went through a similar change in thinking myself way back when. It seems genuine. He makes mistakes, and he's still wrong on some issues, but we have to have the capacity to forgive I think, as long as the person is putting in an effort to continue intellectual and philosophical growth. And frankly, he IS doing more to turn former conservative/neocons into little "L" libertarians than anybody in this generation. The last person with this much rhetorical "libertarian" influence was Ronald Reagan.

It's a hard line to walk for many. I tend to see it as you do. There's a lot that can be said negative about Israel and its policies, and there is an amazing amount of, well, overt "racism" that they display, for lack of a better word (arab hatred, not sure if that's racism, but it is some kind of deeply ingrained prejudice). That said, the state of Israel and the corrupt asshats that run it, factor 0.0% into my evaluation of any Jewish people I meet in real life. I've met extremely nice, pleasant, polite and considerate Jewish people (in fact, one of my best friends has a wife who is 100% Jewish, a great mother, a wonderful wife, a fabulous neighbor, funny, pleasant and one hell of a great cook to boot). I've met snide mean Jewish people as well. Each judged as they should be, as individuals. Sites like this, and many now even unrelated to politics, seem to be drifting back into that ol' National Socialist line of thinking. The more collectivist that America becomes, the easier it is for people to stop considering others as individuals. It's a damned shame if you ask me, a damned shame.
Hey look - Israel deserves its own sovereign nation as much as Syria, Jordan, Egypt all got theirs from Britain. I understand that, Savage understands that, and The Sane understand that. Got a problem with Jews dominance and over-influence - I understand that, but I don't understand the insane "Joo" OCD over here even in threads where it shouldn't be ANY issue at all.
