Good morning Ed!

The caller is a perfect example of how we got stuck with Obama.

Hey Alphonso, Oberfuhrer has creds and ElRushbo doesn’t. Nurse Ratchett has your meds ready. Next.

Ironic since KO has never debated anyone and has shown no intention of having a conversation with an opposing point of view. Back to this “story,” some fool said something dumb on the radio, what a shock.

LOL

oh talk radio

Nope, just the ones who break our laws and don’t, like the millions of wonderful immigrants who’ve come here and contributed to our country, follow the rules and procedures.

Actually if you knew your stuff you would know he loves all people but he loves America and its constitution and laws the most.

Rather illustrative call:

The caller complains about devisiveness and a need for credibility. He uses Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh as examples of what’s wrong with things, then has the temerity to say the Al Sharpton and Keith Olbernman are reasoned examples of centrist thought.

What an idiot.

catmman on April 11, 2009 at 10:14 AM

What is it with idiots like the caller and jokes like capitulus that they have no problem with the massive record spending? Such jokes.

Jamson64 on April 11, 2009 at 10:15 AM

It sounds to me like he dumped on everyone. I can avoid the idiot oberman on msnbc, but I hate that they stick him on football on nbc. I wonder how many wait until the pregame is over to tune into the football game.
I’ve thought of writing to all the sponsors and might still do that. He is an ugly bag.
Glenn goes after both sides and for Lou to go after him, is just nuts. It’s like everyone else who goes after him has never sat and listened to his entire show, but picks out bits and pieces and makes fun of him.
So Lou went down in my estimation too.

Bambi on April 11, 2009 at 10:18 AM

then has the temerity to say the Al Sharpton and Keith Olbernman are reasoned examples of centrist thought.

Yeah, the caller complained about the diviseness, i.e, opposing the Obama Administration’s policies, in America and then cited Sharpton and Olbermann as people who would lead us out of this polarization.

Come again?

You have to give him credit, though, for recognizing that Sharpton and Olbermann belong in the same category.

Lou is one of the few telling the truth about the direction of this country.

True_King on April 11, 2009 at 10:23 AM

Lou who?? Isn’t that the old fool who doesn’t like teh Mexicans??

capitulus on April 11, 2009 at 9:27 AM

He’s married to a Mexican, you big dummy!

Cap is still answering his question from the other day, where he wondered, “do you think I’m stupid?”

I’ve liked Lou since he ruined Bush’s plan to sell the ports to Islam. Bush probably thought that if Muslims had a solid investment in the US, they would not try to blow it up. Bush was naive about a lot of things, especially Islam. America owes Mr. Dobbs a lot.

Lou=Pot; Olby=Kettle

Sorry, but allowing someone to rent terminal facilities at a port is not selling them the port. The ports are owned by individual states anyway and Bush didn’t have the power to sell them.

It may have been a bad idea to let an Arabic company rent terminal facilities.

But they weren’t buying ports.

SteveMG on April 11, 2009 at 12:24 PM

Seems to me this was as bad a snark on Limbaugh as it was on Olbermann: “wack jobs on the left and on the right.” Say what?
And the “280 million Americans in the center”?? Don’t think so. Lou is losing a little crediblity there. As HA posts have shown, we are a polarized nation between statists and conservatives.

Christian Conservative on April 11, 2009 at 3:20 PM

There’s other things going on behind the shadows. Like that one incentitive program.
