Not that often, but probably more often than Obama and liberal videos, for the reasons stated. Basically I only watch them when a video is posted in an interesting thread here on CD.
But in terms of American radio as such I only listen to NPR. I can't take any of those mentioned in the title for more than 10 minutes. It is not so much their conservative opinions that bother me, but their way of dealing with people such as callers. Over here such an offensive and unfriendly tone would be unthinkable... A radio host offending like they do would be fired immediately.

Plus, I am male

Your rewriting history! Is that the MO of the Progressives. Remove a word add a word.

You have somehow inserted "only" where "first' was originally.

See how it is done with the twist the Progressives will put on something to make it what it was clearly not.
Fabricate a lie with a change of one word, based on what really happened. Classic!

Oh yes, Conservatives never attack the messenger - I'm sure there are no examples of that on any threads in this forum.

I was listening, Beck said only and that they still are the only ones showing it. I suspect you could go to his web site and listen yourself, well, you may have to pay for that, but I don't know.

I didn't realize your post was in jest. People who post in this forum are usually dead serious about everything unless a "J/K" or something similar is added.

Nevertheless, CD does have liberal political shills in it.

Peace.
I'm sure it does, but if you think that I honestly thought that a person who seriously entertains a "discussion" about Obama having gay sex while smoking crack is sober-minded, then just wow. That's just as ridiculous as someone asserting that Bush has gay sex and smokes crack. Anyone who goes there is an outrageous clown. I'm sorry, but I think Rush, Hannity and Beck are all clowns. I also think Moore, Maher and Franken are clowns. I don't wonder why conservatives attack Moore, Maher and Franken though.. um, lol .. that question pretty much answers itself, don't you think?

Are you saying that I "seriously entertained a discussion about Obama having gay sex while smoking crack"? By your statement, I'm not sure. I haven't weighed in on that allegation at all and I think it is silly to even talk about it. It can't be proved one way or another and what's more, who cares if he did or not? I certainly don't. All I was doing was trying to correct your statement that I was a Republican. K?

From my experience we see at least 2-3 x a week a poster rushing in to share with us the latest pearls of wisdom that Rush or Beck imparted to them. When people then come back and explain to them the generally simplistic monochromatic nature of the arguments presented they are then attacked for bringing this up.

NPR left wing?

Do you know how much air time and publicity NPR gave to the Tea Party by talking about them for weeks?
When was the last time that NPR spent more than 5 minutes talking about coffee party or any other leftwing organization?

I know, you are going to say that NPR played some stupid 2 minute anti Tea Party video.
but still gave 100s of hours of air time to the Tea Party.
