The Young Turks... what's their deal?

[devilgrrl]

One of them just went off about how English should be the official language of the USA... wtf?

1. Um....who?

When I think Young Turks, I think of the turn-of-the-century Turkist reform movement, or the 1960s political writers -- who are you talking about?

2. Its a Liberal radio show. Its syndicated and on Sirius.

4. They are not liberal, at least they say they are not

They bill themselves as just two guys talking on the radio. The style we had before talk radio was taken over by right wingnuts.

9. Check the second paragraph of their website:

11. Hmmm

The article which came out talking about the young turks joining the liberal line-up mentioned something about they disagreed with right wingnut talk radio but didn't really consider themselves liberal. They just wanted to have some fun doing a talk radio show.

Oh well, they do put out a good show which does not follow RW talking points. Big tent.

12. True. One of them even says he was once a Republican.

Interesting show with good guests. I just wish Sirius ran it late at night so those of us that work graveyard could listen.

8. Ah! Thanks for clearin' that up for me. Just call me stoopid!

:dunce:

3. I personally love their show...

I do not always agree with them but they are entertaining.

If you agree with everything someone says you might want to think about that long and hard.

5. Oh thanks for that nugget of wisdom...

I never would have thought of it had you not brought it up :sarcasm:

[SouthernDem2004]

7. Your most welcome.

6. Unfortunate name for a show don't you think?
