"Silencing Conservatives" by Mike Gallagher. Check Out This Nonsense
My exchange with legendary Hollywood liberal Ed Asner ("Lou Grant") was a memorable one

I found myself at a cocktail party high atop midtown Manhattan the other night. A number of celebrities were there touting a new movie. When I saw Asner standing alone in a corner holding a drink in his hand, I couldn't resist the temptation to walk up to him.

"Mr. Asner, it's nice to meet you," I began. He gave me a sly smile and returned the greeting. After some small talk, he asked me what I did for a living. I told him I was a conservative radio talk host. He let out a big laugh. "I love going toe-to-toe with you guys," he said. I laughed back.

"I know," I said. "I've seen and heard you with Sean Hannity. Sean's a good friend of mine and I've enjoyed your exchanges."

2. Too too funny...
"But Sean Hannity doesn't have anything to worry about. Like Rush, Sean is loved by millions. And also like Limbaugh, Sean is a voice of integrity, honesty and American values."
And also like Limbaugh, Sean is a meanspirited piece of shit whose audience consists either of those pining for the days of lynching bees and McCarthyism, or those laughing their asses off at his program.

16. Hailnutty is even funnier, now he wants to be Limpnuts.
I am one of those who listen for the fun of it. Hanutty has been getting his ass handed to him lately. When he strays from the lonely housewives into the political arena, he has no answers but his deflection and redirecting skills are fascinating.
He has been trying to address some complex issues because he sees an opening for the lonely Limp job. Well ,even his faithful have been nailing him when he tries to discuss the UN, or IRAQ. He interrupts to tell a listener that WMD HAVE been found, the listener should read David Kays report, the listener turns out to be a Repub and redirects the conversation.

3. Oh Lordy
Well you know what they say about addicts and paranoia...maybe the whole dang lot of them are hopped up! I guess everyone that contributed to Rushie's addiction was part of some left wing conspiracy??? that leaves out one person...Rush himself. But wait....maybe he is a closet liberal who gave himself for the cause! He He

6. Gallagher
I'd never heard of this guy until a few weeks ago when I tuned him in while driving. I couldn't believe it.

Gallagher spent at least 20 minutes whining about the fact that an Amber Alert was spread for "some illegal mexican kid" who was abducted while hitchhiking.

He kept saying, "Am I missing something here, folks, or is this what the Amber Alert is supposed to do? --Hunt for some illegal mexican kid? I ask you!"

He just wouldn't drop it, even though nobody wanted to talk about it.

7. My my, he got on the
wrong side of the bed...

Nope this is propaganda... they are now spinning the fall
of Rush into once again, you guessed it, them damn Lib'ral Media
Moguls. You know the type,the type that went after Candidate Gore
for invented transgresions, (I invented the Internet) but
gave a free pass to Candidate Bush for real transgressions...

DUI and AWOL status.

I wonder why was that? After all Candidate Bush was the Lib'ral in
the race, (by their own logic they only silence and destroy
conservatives RIGHT?)

As Connason tittled his book, the Big Lie is just morphing in front
of us once again

8. And these are the lies they're worried about?
"And in one fell swoop, Lou Grant told a whopper of a lie on national radio."

9. Gallagher is
nothing more than a Rush wannabe, but MUCH less intelligent. If you can believe that. He is most equal to Michael Reagan if you've ever had the misfortune of listening to that idiot.

15. I think it's Ron.
I saw him on MSGOP the other night. He didn't strike me as a Bushie type.
