By the way — get out your wallet. Pledge drive continues and we’ll continue to explore what talk radio sounds like without progressives on the air. It ain’t pretty.
Unfortunately, internet problems at the station prevented live streaming, but today’s show [...]

Rush Limbaugh says that the health reform bills pending in Congress amount to nothing more than “civil rights” legislation and “reparations.”

Shorter Limbaugh: Honest, hardworking white people shouldn’t have to pay for health care for shiftless, lazy coloreds. To Limbaugh of course, it makes perfect sense: Obama (who is a Magic Negro) wants to redistribute the [...]

There was a debate today at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) about whether an organization of gay Republicans should have been permitted to be a CPAC co-sponsor. One speaker wanted to welcome politically conservative members of the LGBT community:

Today’s pledge goal was exceeded. Thanks to everyone who gave…and to those who will give next week. Just one more pledge show, then it’s back to regular programming. We’ll probably keep the webcast for now and see how it goes.

Listen here.

As Republicans (and a few conservative Democrats) continue to reject each and every proposal to reform the health care system because their big donors don’t want anything cutting in to their multi-million dollar salaries, keep Kyle Van Nocker in mind. He’s one of the people who would’ve benefited from the package of health care reforms [...]

Yesterday at the teabagger convention, Sarah Palin made some cracks about President Obama’s use of a teleprompter. You know, because someone who can’t give a speech without reading it is nothing but an empty suit without the brain power to articulate a vision unless it’s literally spelled out for him.

39 percent of Republicans believe Obama should be impeached, 29 percent are not sure, 32 percent said he should not be voted out of office.
36 percent of Republicans believe Obama was not born in the United States, 22 percent are not sure, 42 [...]
