Steve Corbett is Right Wing all the way (Scranton, Wilkes-Barre: station, radio)

[Chefkey]

I have lately been listening to Steve Corbett and was sure he was a hard line right wing Republican. Then I heard some comments about how his tone has changed from democratic and I laughed. He has never ever sounded liberal to me, he is breathing right up Rush Limbaugh's tree and claims on the air he is independant. Not so Steve, take a listen to yourself and you'll see what a conservative you have become.

Steve Corbett was a former Wilkes-Barre Times-Leader super star of sorts who relocated to California and then returned to Scranton to have his own talk radio show about politics that is popular with the local "da government is screwing me over" types.

I think is way over-rated and have listened to him a few times and did not like his show.To me, he came off liberal and Democratic. I mean, wasn't he for Hillary Clinton?

Look around you. So was 99.9% of your beloved hometown of Scranton.

Thanks for clearing that one up for me...I was thinking he was referring to the Cobert report and was really confused! LOL

Yes, I read he was but you would never know listening to him. I knew a guy when I was working at Genetti's that would put him on I would jokingly say "What you got on? WKKK?" The station is WILK at 103 on fm.

Corbett just always sounded Repub to me and I'll never understand how he called himself a Dem for some time.

Corbett is very much on the left. The only reason he's talking up McCain is that he was a huge Hillary supporter and doesn't like how Obama was forced down everyone's throat as the nominee. Just because someone doesn't like Obama doesn't make them less of a democrat or that they're a Rush Limbaugh follower.

Maybe so Go Phillies but having listened to him since before the election stuff I always noticed a very hard line edge to him along the lines of Republican yet he has called himself a Democrat when I never would have thought it.

On the Hillary stance, I was for Hillary from the start and promoted her to everyone. When she didn't get the nomination I switched my allegiance to Obama wanting to keep the party together. So this is how a prominent Democrat carries himself on the radio? To cry and rant because he didn't get his way instead of like the rest of us, play the team effort and get behind Obama? Now he panders to the right wing like a hurt child, shame.

What you call "playing the team effort," I call being a sheep. "Party loyalty" irritates me and is why our political system is a mess. I could never blindly support a political party no matter who the nominee was. They're two heads of the same corrupt monster anyways.

I think the democrats who rammed Obama's nomination through will be sorry.....Hillary was a much more electable candidate, who would have a better chance of winning than Obama. I fear we'll be stuck with at least 4 years of McCain because of this. Barack is too far to the left...Hillary, while she leaned left, is still more of a centrist.
