Today’s attempted webcast

Lack of internet access prevented last week’s webcast from…uh…existing. Hopefully today that all changes. Watch this space between 3:00 and 4:00 CST.
Update: Hey, it mostly worked. Here’s the video:

And here’s the audio.

Shocker — Republicans plan to exploit fear

By now you’ve probably heard about the Republican National Committee campaign strategy document that made its way into the hands of Politico’s Ben Smith. To sum up: In the 2010 election, Republicans will manipulate conservative and independent voters by exploiting their fears, call the President a socialist, and pry dough [...]

Partisan Gridlock – live with video

Today’s show is from 3:00-4:00 CST and will be streamed live right here….
Live Broadcasting by Ustream
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 [...]

Republican leader: Whites shouldn’t have to pay for health care for blacks

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 [...]

CPAC question of the day: Is the conservative movement bigoted enough?

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:

Another wasn’t pleased at the thought of gays and lesbians being anything [...]

Today’s show…with webcast

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.

Video simulcast

This may or may not work. We’re going to try and stream the show live in studio from now on. If it works, it’ll appear here every Friday between 3:00 and 4:00 CST:

Judge Leslie Brock Yates attacks challenger, likely to draw bar complaint

You don’t hear much about judicial races because, frankly, the Code of Judicial Conduct requires that they be pretty boring. Judges are prohibited from making politically-charged statements meant to single out lawyers or express opinions about certain types of cases. As a result, campaigns for the bench are generally filled with platitudes like “I have [...]

Pledge, pledge, pledge….

It’s pledge drive around KPFT and we met our goal — thank you. Today’s show was filled with lots of right-wing bashing and progressive agenda pushing…and if you didn’t give this week, there’s always next week’s pitch. Give, give, give.
Listen here.

Republicans to dying five year old: We saved you from socialism. You’re welcome.

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 [...]
