FM types?

[Eric J in MN]

OLBERMANN (8/17/05): Time for Countdown`s list of today`s three nominees for the title of “Worst Person in the World.” Nominated at the bronze level: In coastal Scotland, police report that some of them while away the late summer afternoons by going to the cliffs and throwing rocks at the people who live and drive below. A policeman warned them, “Playing near cliffs is dangerous, boys.” Why did you tell them, sir?

Also, the fine folks at Austin Community College in Texas. Carl Basham said he was denied the state residence discount for tuition. He has to pay $2,600 a semester instead of $500 because they say he spent too much time living out of state. Well it`s true, Carl has been away, serving, he says, two tours in Iraq.

But the winner, it`s the irrepressible Rush Limbaugh. On the radio, he said quote, "Cindy Sheehan is just Bill Burkett. Her story is nothing more than forged documents. There`s nothing about it that`s real." I guess she made up that dead son in Iraq business! He also referred to her supporters as dope-smoking FM types. I guess the painkillers wipe out your memory along with your ethics. Rush Limbaugh, today`s “Worst Person in the World!
==============================

What are FM types?

[AlCzervik]

1. I guess it's better to be an Oxy popping AM host.

[Blue_In_AK]

2. I presume he means

people who actually listen to music on FM radio rather than his stupid talk show on AM.

[Beaver Tail]

3. Listeners of FM Radio maybe?

[TheCowsCameHome]

46. He means FM radio, which used to be music, not informative, etc.

However, he is on FM stations here and there. One on our local FM stations is all right wing talk. It's so bad their tower leans to the right.

The good news is Limbaugh's numbers are falling and hopefully he'll be gone..................

[Liberal In Texas]

4. People who listen to FM radio as opposed to AM propaganda.

FM = NPR and classical music.
AM = Limpballs, Hannity, O'Really, Sabitch, etc. etc.

[Warren DeMontague]

5. Wow, that's an insult.

Yeah, we watch color teevee, too.

[Liberal In Texas]

7. And we drink French wine and eat French cheese. We're elitists who

actually finish New York Times crossword puzzles and do something called reading. Like books, not USA Today.

[Viking12]

8. I bet you have a VHS too!!!!!!!

[Liberal In Texas]

10. THAT is Soooo last century. I have digital. n/t

[Viking12]

17. I knew it! You elitist, limousine liberal!

[Liberal In Texas]

20. I'm busted. That damn limo though is always in the shop. Did I mention

that, Barbara Streisand, Jane Fonda and I are having dinner next week in PARIS? We're flying over on AIR FRANCE!

And I'm listening to CLASSICAL music right now!

[Viking12]

23. Oh, say hi to Babs for me.

It's been ages since we had lunch.

[Liberal In Texas]

27. Look, we can save you a place at the table at the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Since you are obviously a liberal who doesn't work and sits around collecting welfare payments, you can probably jump an Air France jet and meet us!

We're going talk about how we can be even more traitorous than we already are!

[Viking12]

29. Sorry, I'll be in the hills of Pakistan

for some advanced training, if you know what I mean. Thanks for the invite though. Have fun.

[Liberal In Texas]

30. Oh yeah....yeah...Keep that under your hat. Say "HI" to Osama for me.n/t

[Viking12]

32. Sure thing! I mean, umm, err, umm, who????

:eyes:

[Liberal In Texas]

34. Right...that's the spirit. When you get back from "over there" we'll have

to get together to reset the decoder rings. We might meet at an opera, classical music concert, or maybe a library, so the RW agents won't see us. ('Cause they wouldn't be caught dead at one.)

Want me to bring back some brie from France? I think I have a few left over food stamps I can use.

[Viking12]

37. I think a military recruiting office could be a good place to meet...

the chickenhawks seem to avoid them as much as biology class.

..and yes, some brie would be lovely.

[Liberal In Texas]

38. Oh, I forgot about that. Yes, they avoid military recruiters like they

avoid things like logic and thinking. I forgot, thanks for the reminder.

I also forgot that the latest "talking point" is that they are staying on the home front to get the "message" across. You know the message; repeat the "talking points" that the hate radio spews.

Would you like some nice French wine with that brie? I can probably get it for real cheap since O'Really has had his boycott drive the price down. He's really got the French economy in a tail-spin.

[Viking12]

39. Does French wine go with the homosexual agenda or the radical LW agenda?

I always mix that up...

[Liberal In Texas]

44. Oh, it goes with both. I think the white wine is for the gay agenda and

the red for the LW agenda.

Or maybe it's the other way around, I always forget.

[havocmom]

6. Been mulling that one over. Reckon he means folks who don't waste time

listening to the likes of him and Hate Radio AM. Once again, trying to brand Liberals as elitists because they ::gasp:: listen to MUSIC! OH the HORROR! MUSIC- maybe even Classical MUSIC- instead of the daily dose of brainwashing the junta wants us to tune into.

Anyway, that's all I could come up with.

[Johnny Noshoes]

11. The funny thing is

even a lot of FM radio sucks these days too. When I do listen to FM its WBGO Jazz88 here in the NewYork Metro area. Its either jazz or Air America for me.

[Kali]

9. Not just FM

but the LEFT end of the FM band!!!!


Public and Community radio! (also unfortunatly a lot of christian crap too)

[DanCa]

12. actually i only listen to cd's and the internet.

specially my yahoo station. Hey rush think diet.

[Liberal In Texas]

13. Rush only thinks about his next oxy pill. n/t

[DanCa]

15. I think were going on the assumption Rush thinks :) (nt)

[jedr]

14. 11th commandment; ....thout shall not listen to F.M. ;

Who knew???????

[Eric J in MN]

19. Doesn't Rush Limbaugh listen to FM to and from the studio? nt

nt

[Liberal In Texas]

21. Can Rush actually listen to anything? You know, the oxy damaged his

hearing so bad that he has to wear headphones turned up all the way just to do his program.

[jedr]

24. brought to mind the Mel Brooke's thing as Moses;

and dropped and broke the last five of 15 commandments.... The Conservatives seem to find them regularly and it always amazes me.

[Richard Steele]

16. Ooh, what a giveaway!

Looks like the Blithering Bloviator just gave us
a clue as to what is REALLY on his mind!

His ratings.
You know, the ones that are dropping? THOSE.

We all know that Rush only really cares about
himself and his money; and now his wallet is feeling threatened.
That's why he's been crazier than usual!

I'll bet we start to see him making more OVERT
attempts to increase his numbers in the days to come.

Actually, when I say "we" I really mean "someone",
cuz I sure as hell ain't gonna start listening!

[jimshoes]

18. Rush is sure we're going to retake Saigon

any day now. We never lost that war and they are going to prove it by not losing another one, this time in Iraq or Iran or Syria or some country that ends in "stan". And he was not doctor shopping so stop saying that.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. People who listen to FM radio. The horror, the horror!

Subversives who listen to classical music, good jazz or -- gasp! public radio!

[Johnny Noshoes]

25. You gotta watchout

for us fancy pants elitists :evilgrin:

[Maru Kitteh]

26. My mom smokes dope?

FM radio listeners smoke dope?

I guess I'll have to install an old Victrola phonograph in my car because I'm sure not going to be listening to AM.

That, or a player piano.

[orpupilofnature57]

28. Player piano, Vonnegut at his best, FM radio at it's best, in talk and ...

hear, that big phat idiot, Kkkarl, and ShrubCo need all-star wrestling and AM radio.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

31. Could it be FN = FemiNazi, an old Rushbaugh pejorative?

[Eric J in MN]

36. No, "FM types" is in the transcript at Rush Limbaugh's website, and also

googling

"fm types" limbaugh

produces lots of results.



However, googling

"fn types" limbaugh

produces one unrelated result.

[ordinaryaveragegirl]

33. Anything but Clear Channel...

Which means I don't listen to the radio too often, since CC owns almost everything here. :eyes: The last thing I need to do is support the repuke agenda's cash cow. It's public radio, internet radio, and CD's/iPod for me.

[Liberal In Texas]

35. Actually, Clear Channel has some stations that broadcast AAR. n/t

[TheFarseer]

40. People who aren't obsessed with politics

Imagine!?!? People who prefer music over listening to his ridiculous lies all day. The hell you say!!!

[Eric J in MN]

41. Rush Limbaugh plays "The Pretenders" for his theme song.

I assume he orginallly heard them on FM radio.

[teknomanzer]

42. they let him use the song?

whats up with that? Pretenters dont strike me as a right wing kind of band... theyre not lynard skynard.

[Eric J in MN]

43. At first, the problem was that Chrissie Hynde was misinformed

that she couldn't do anything about it.

A few years ago, she sued and was paid a settlement.

[teknomanzer]

49. I see but then...

he lost so the settlement includes further use of the music?

[Eric J in MN]

50. The out-of-court settlement meant she got paid and he can still

use the music.

[0rganism]

45. Oh, the evils of sideband-encoded stereo broadcasts!

How shameful, to listen to radio transmissions that are modulated in such a way that they don't dissolve into static whenever the receiver passes behind a solid object!

Have we sold our very souls for an extra 12kHz of frequency resolution?

I must hide my FM-type head in disgrace...

[tx_dem41]

47. Frequency Modulation was invented by Communists...

That's what Rush told me. ;)

[TheCowsCameHome]

48. Tuning in to him would be dope-listening. Call it the OxyContin Hour

[KamaAina]

51. OxyRush has dozens of FM affiliates

or should I say HAD dozens of FM affiliates?

What a moran.

[Eric J in MN]

55. maybe he started using the perjorative "FM types" before

he got his first FM affiliate, and just kept using it.

[teknomanzer]

52. Are we sure that by FM types...

he meant frequention modulation? Are you sure it doesn't stand for "freedom molester" or "falafel muncher" or "freak mamas" how exactly is FM supposed to be insulting? am I missing something? I was hoping it was at least something dirty... If you're going to throw insults at least have them make some kind of sense... even stupidhead has more impact.

[0rganism]

53. Don't underestimate the dangers of FM radio!

I mean, the Howard Stern Show for gosh sakes! That could completely throw your endocrine system out of control in under five minutes of sustained listening. Testosterone overproduction, thyroid suppression, water flouridation, oh, it's all in there, just waiting like a hungry shark for an unsuspecting audience to tune in.

One moment you're a normal liberal-hating dittohead, the next you're foregoing your weekly TBN tithe to buy tickets for MONSTER TRUCKS AT THE COLLISEUM! FM is dangerously subversive territory.

[Eric J in MN]

54. Listening to FM means listening to something other than Rush Limbaugh.

At least in most markets.

[JHB]

56. "Free Mumia"?

I never heard that abbreviation before, but that's the only thing I can think of at the moment that abbreviates as "FM".
