Jack Van Impe has been doing his thing for years. Whenever I catch him on I have to at least watch for a few minutes just to see which current events indicate the end times are upon us this week. I feel pretty bad for the folks that watch him unironically. The Clear Channel talk reminded me of when local news stations owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group were required to show a one minute "conservative" commentary at the end of their newscasts called "The Point" with Mark Hyman. Hyman is the Vice President for Corporate Relations for Sinclair and used his time to be a smug douche. Thanks to this thread I've remembered that he no longer taints our local news. This is good. There is hope. I wanted to link some old videos of "The Point" but I can't locate anything. Kind of weird. I thought it would be out there.

beatlegs posted:The same, only he went after Bush critics instead of Obama. He said the usual sexist/racist things. His low point was probably when he called troops who were critical of the Iraq invasion "phony troops". When he got called out he cowered and claimed he only meant one specific soldier who spoke out. Is it the "water-carrying" remarks? I think I remember that the day after. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAPIKcuBn5U

Walter posted:Levin is a loon. As I listened last night on the way home, he was referring to Chuck Hagel as "Schmagel" (presumably because Hagel is Jewish?), Joe Scarborough as "Jo Schmo," and MSNBC as "MSLSD." Repeatedly. Like a kid who won't stop saying the punchline to a stupid joke because he's convinced that it gets funnier the more times it's said. Limbaugh does the name calling a lot as well. I suspect that the repetition is intentional to cause the listener to associate negative adjectives with whatever the noun target is. I've found it working on me in real life. Limbaugh always refers to the Huffington Post as "The Huffington and Puffington Post" and for the life of of me I can't not say that in my head whenever I hear or read the words "Huffington Post".

cheerfullydrab posted:WWTDM is so loving awful. What exactly is the appeal? Is there something I'm missing? I know it's not exactly right-wing media, but it's just complete and utter garbage. If there's something I don't "get" about the show I'm completely ready to hear it. Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is not something I sit down and listen to every week but I do enjoy it on long car trips. The appeal for me is off the cuff jokes about current events. Also they usually have a short interview with a person of note (I wouldn't say famous, but sometimes they are). The host Peter Sagal is pretty funny and I quite enjoy the banter but I suppose the show is probably not for you if you can't enjoy a corny Paula Poundstone joke. Watt par described succinctly with "dad humor". I saw the show live once a few years ago and I'm currently thinking about getting a WWDTM tattoo or maybe I'll just donate that money during the next public radio fund raiser. For the record I can't stand Prairie Home Companion. Listening to a dude breath through his nose is not where it's at for me.

Mark Steyn is hosting the Limbaugh show today. I especially dislike him. His bits are pretty much hyperbole and sarcasm. In the spirit of this thread I decided to finally look him up. I had always been curious as to how a British guy ended up in his situation. Welp...turns out he's Canadian. All this time I thought that accent was from overseas. I hate him more now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Steyn edit: turns out he was educated in the UK and that's where is accent comes from. It's just so weird how a Canadian citizen who was educated in the UK gets to talk to the Dittoheads about how terrible the Democrats are.

Nyyen posted:On a less derailly note, I have been listening Rush the last few days and he has been banging on about how the new rules about helmet contact in the NFL are ruining the sport and sissifying our manly American culture. Is there any more to this issue other than the usual reactionary clap-trap of political correctness gone wild, or is there some deeper message? It seems like such an apolitical issue for him to focus on. Typically he uses the football head injury issue as an example of how liberals want to make good things not good anymore and then uses it as a jumping off point to explain how liberals make things bad and their motivations for doing so. The following discussion is well reasoned and factually based of course. So basically only liberals care about brain damage and that's bad because...FOOTBALL...and we ain't no pussies!

Over the last couple days Limbaugh has decided to provide a public service to his listeners by explaining what "Chopped and Screwed" remixes over and over. It's kind of bizarre as it originally came up due the discussion of a new Beyoncé song that is a nod to that genre. He was working the angle of "anything bad Beyoncé does reflects poorly on Obama because they are best pals" and the Chopped and Screwed aspect was just a small detail that he seems to have become fixated on so now he's got to show everyone how much he knows about it now and how actually he was doing Chopped and Screwed on an old radio show with the Oilers Football Team fight song. Limbaugh knows what's up. Here's a taste: Limbaugh posted:RUSH: That's my point, Snerdley. Snerdley just asked me if I thought Obama has any chopped and screwed on his iPod. See, that's what I'm talking about. Obama's gonna be somewhere, there's gonna be an open mic, and he's gonna diss chop and screw or he's gonna diss Justin Timberlake's greatest CD or some such thing and the kids are gonna turn on him. It will be that kind of event that's gonna wake people up, if he comes out and disses chopped and screwed and says he wouldn't dare have it on his iPad, the number of people he will lose. And, by the way, if as a result of this program, everybody now needs to show a photo ID to buy Robitussin, don't blame that on me. Hopefully he will have some chopped and screwed Mannheim Steamroller bumper music this Christmas season.

totalnewbie posted:What the gently caress is chopped and screwed and why does it have anything to do with Obama? Good lord. Let the master explain: Limbaugh posted:RUSH: As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted there by the obscene profit break, chopped and screwed is a technique, just as the caller said. It remixes hip-hop music, which I'm told developed in Houston. Well, the chop and screw developed in Houston, not hip-hop. The chop and screw technique remixes hip-hop music with the kind of music that was in Houston in the 1990s in the hip-hop scene. And it's done by slowing down the tempo and skipping beats. It ends up sounding like a chopped up version of a tune, and so it's called chop and screw. There's even an app for it. You can get a chop and screw app. Chop and screw your iTunes music, you can get an app for it. Check the iTunes App Store, chop and screw your iTunes music, and you can do this mixing. It's a specific technique.

The thing that is the most fun to me about Rush's New Hip-Hop Show Explanation Show is that he seems more interested in proving that he's knowledgeable about remixes than he is poo poo talking Obama like normal. Him a being know-it-all is very important to him and I think gives some insight into why he does what he does. He's a show off who actually feels that he has enlightening perspectives to share based on his rudimentary understanding of a topic that he spent 5 minutes reading about on the internet. I think this can be applied to much of what he does.greatn posted:I was so disappointed when I found out Mr. Snerdley was a real person and not some imaginary character he talks to ail the time.

Anus Dei posted:Something I haven't seen mentioned in this thread, but which I likewise haven't been able to find in any archived form, was Limbaugh's bizarre confession some time during Bush's second term, during which he admitted that he'd been not just supporting but cheerleading policies he absolutely disagreed with, specifically the wiretapping thing (FISA, that should ring a bell). I remember hearing it played on Air America, Al Franken's show, I think, but the only specific line I recall is something like, "Yes I've been going along with these policies even though I know they go against everything I believe as a conservative. Why? Because the stakes are high, folks." I always take that into consideration whenever I see people wondering whether he believes half of the poo poo he spews.

I have a hard time believing Donald actually types that stuff himself. If I was him I'd pay an assistant to manage my imbecilic persona. Edit: But here I am typing this. I guess I see the appeal. Though I can't afford someone to manage my social media accounts. It just seems that if I was busy and fairly well off I would have little time for dealing with the plebs. I know it's good for business to maintain and active social media presence but when you just post dumb poo poo all the time doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose? Or does Trump just enjoy being a jackass? Is he real? As in totally committed to the hair for personal reasons or just because it makes him that much more ridiculous and marketable. This is my main draw to all this conservative punditry crap: Trying to determine whether or not these people believe what they say...are they actually the people they seem to be? Some are obvious opportunists, some seem sincere, some are just weird. What is real? UFOTacoMan fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Apr 20, 2013 |
