Randi Rhodes show--It annoys me when callers..
call in and complain about Randi's style. They'll call in and say "could you tone this down", "act differently to try to reach these people"..

She is who she is and she's not going to change her show..she gives everyone who calls in complaining the same answer.

So, I don't know why those people even bother.. And, Randi usually gets a couple of those calls a day. It takes time away from talking about other things..

1. Does Rush take calls like that?
Somehow, I don't think so.

Go Randi, Go!

3. You can be sure that he doesn't,
and that, on the off chance that he did, the caller wouldn't last two seconds. THAT is the problem with so many libs/progressives/Dems, we're too fucking NICE, we're too worried about upsetting or hurting people and it's getting past the eleventh hour on this. We cannot do that anymore. As Carville says, STOP APOLOGIZING. We have nothing to apologize for. NOTHING.

4. Randi has defended herself quite nicely
Edited on Mon Apr-12-04 06:15 PM by Marianne
against all of these who would have her be extricated from AA

She is, imo , a valuable and interesting asset.

She can defend herself much better than any of us could

She said she has been on radio for twenty years and has made a nice salary by doing this. She is quite confident.

Twenty years is nothing to laugh about

I think she is really quite good.

She needs none of us to defend her

I like her show very much

She is quite a brave and confident woman and she knows the facts and takes the time to research those facts, in contrast to Franken, who does not seem to have his finger on the facts as much and as in depth as Randi does.

I like her show very much.

Go Randi!

7. I tried to listen to her today...
And turned it off after like 10 minutes. She's kinda whiny and her facts are shaky. She needs someone to bounce off of if she's going to stay on for very long. I just really didn't enjoy it. I could have thought of someone way better to put on after Al. But that's just my opinion.

9. You're regularly on Randi threads saying same wrong info
Edited on Mon Apr-12-04 07:28 PM by mouse7
You act as if Randi is new at talk radio. She's not. She's been doing it for more than a decade and been #1 in her market the whole time beating Rush's numbers year in, year out.

Randi is where she is because Randi's formula has worked for a long time and gets numbers.

Funny... you've said you tuned in that day for the first time for 10 minutes and turned it right off before, too. Hmmmm. Couldn't be some Nader sour grapes at work here, could there?

10. Regularly?
Dude, you're confusing me with someone else. I don't post unless I know something about what is spoken about. And I just heard her YESTERDAY (4-12-04)!!! I just said I didn't like her. Why are you attacking me? I hate Ralph Nader because he cost us the White House last year...well, along with the Supreme Court. I said it was just my opinion. You could like Black Olives, which I hate, and I'm not going to attack you for being gross. Jesus, calm down dude.
