do you know any hate radio listeners who aren't insecure white men?

[pstokely]

if the hate radio listeners have succesful high paying jobs with families, how they find time to listen to hate radio?

[JanMichael]

1. I know two.

Which is plenty if you ask me.

[HereSince1628]

2. Yes,

my daughter.

[SOteric]

3. Their shrill, bible-thumping soccer mom wives...?

[grasswire]

5. my sister

....a white suburban Baptist matron.

[cmf]

4. I bet there are many women who listen.

I know of one personally.

[patdem]

6. WOW...good question....what IS the demographic of hate radio????

VERY good question and I would LOVE to see that answer in reality...not just theory here...we KNOW of course, but I would love to see a study!!!

Did I mention that I think this is a GOOD QUESTION?

[DCDemo]

11. Let me check - I can pull up some basic demos for htem

[pstokely]

13. mostly middle aged white men

judging by the advertisements of insurance companies and snake oil

[Wickerman]

7. I know some old, very bitter and angry women eom

[Faygo Kid]

8. Wait a Minute! I'm an insecure white man!

And I fight those bastards with every fiber of my being. Dammit, I don't like being stereotyped, either! That's not how we fight the war against the most evil administration in history. I am 52, and have fought for justice (I hope, and believe) all my life. Cut it out! (Yes, I get cranky, too! See you in DC on Saturday!)

9. my aunt in AL

who is a Southern Baptist woman of society with a palacial estate on a huge piece of property. She actually introduced me to Rush, thinking I would enjoy him.

Listening to Rush is a status symbol of sorts for many in the South.

[patdem]

16. A Palacial Estate in Alabama is AKA a Plantation...of course we wont

talk about how that became an Estate???

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. Yes my sweet little, perfectly coiffed, mother of three boys, go to

church every Sunday, and judge every one the rest of the week, ex-next door neighbor. How I relish the ex part of that.

[DCDemo]

12. Rough idea of who Rush listeners are

mid-hi HH income
35-54
management, sales,work at home
associate/bachelor degree
married with children
non-Hispanic White or Asian

[pstokely]

14. I've neard heard any Asian callers on hate radio

or Hispanic, rarely any black callers

[DCDemo]

18. Listeners, not callers

This is based on surveyed data, so take it for what it is - a pretty good description of the people who listen, not perfect!

[mlawson]

15. I do not know any hate radio listeners. n/t

[enough]

17. Yes

Our auto mechanic, whom we've known for 25 years (we drive handmedown cars and trucks, so we see our mechanic often).

He is a wonderful man, absolutely honest, loves his work, owns his own shop in an out-of-the way location where every season is beautiful, works at his own pace, has more work than he knows what to do with. A quiet person, devoted to his family, much respected by everyone who deals with him. An admirable guy.

BUT ........ Rush, etc., blares out of the speakers in the garage, all day, every day. I will never understand.

[kwolf68]

19. Yea I know

Friend 1: Pure Nazi. Is a German re-enactor. Speaks German, likes German military history. Loves guns. Some college, not graduated. Fairly smart. White, Male, Divorced

Friend 2: Business Degree. Plays in band, has long hair, but is strictly establishment. Is socially fairly Liberal, but often cites Limbaugh. Less of a love of guns and nazis. More of a tax cutting right winger. White, Male, Married, no kids

Friend 3: Complete windbag. No college, barely made it out of high school. Works for US Govt (picks up towells in a gym). Does nothing but whines about Dems and loves Repukes. Social Conservative. Does hate big business (because he worked at Wal Mart). White, Male, Never had sex

Friend 4: Good guy, smart. Like him. Limited college. Worked his way into decent job via hard work. Not sure all his views. White, Married, Kid

That's what I can remember thus far.

[Wcross]

20. Yeah, the "black avenger"

I used to listen to this guy on my commute home. I have always felt the best way to know your foe is to hear what he is saying. Why would I listen to a liberal talk show? I am the choir, I don't need preaching to! I want to hear what the other side of the fence is talking about.

21. I know many, because I live in Richmond, Va.

They come in all colors, creeds, shapes, and sizes. You never know when one is going to start quoting Rush, someone you never thought would go there. In the workplace, where I am most exposed to them, I just keep my mouth shut. :grr:
