    yeah I listen to her. I have to say though... every one of these political hosts is just as slanted as Rush Limbaugh. I might agree with Randi Rhodes half of the time, maybe less, whereas I never agree with Rush Limbaugh on anything. But I would still appreciate less spin, less emotion, and more straightforwardness.

    Oh and everyone says she is hot... I don't see it... ;)

    Ew. I don't see it, either. She reminds me of a horse. :p

    I agree with her on some points, too but she is sooo over the top and disrespectful to opposing opinions.

    Which is why air america and rhodes aren't as successful as Rush Hannity, O Reilly etc.

    conservatives listen and buy into anything they say.....Liberals can think for themselves...

    HAHAHAHAH that's a good one. Both buy into things at the same rate. It's just that conservatives don't control the media and use it to take over the government like liberals do. First Congress, now the Presidency. Bye bye prosperous economy.

    And I'm not conservative either, if that's what you're thinking. I can't stand Limbaugh or Hannity. Has anyone heard of Savage? That guy shouldn't be on radio.

    Good example of Liberals having 'bought into' something:

    Global Warming

    Oh wait I forgot you guys are STILL buying into it. :rolleyes:
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    I agree with her sarcasm regarding the 2 candidate system in the US.

    EDIT: Wow she has no fucking idea what she's talking about regarding oil futures. Haha they take "physical possession" of the oil and "dump it back on the market" at a higher price?? I don't see how that's even possible. It's scary that such uncontested misinformation can be spread so easily.

    murdoch owns almost all media. The report just came out saying Bush and co lied to get us into war, yet barely a peep from the "liberal" media.

    Though misspellings are my second favorite thing to do here, I actually got it right this time. :D

    Yeah I wasn't in the political mindset when I clicked the link so it caught me off guard. See what happens when you browse with the New Posts feature instead of going to each forum.

    Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on the clip?

    Or did you say 'Ew, no thanks. This shit ain't ass kicking metal. It's just some bossy lady with a tude!' and close it immediately? :p

    Everyone's entitled to opinions. Someone thought enough of her opinion to give her a soapbox to stand on. But she was a little too rough on the caller to me. Getting a little hysterical there at the end.

    That's a pretty unbiased opinion and I agree.

    Thanks. :)

    I'm open minded and respect everyone's opinions. I have friends that are very right wing conservative, and others that are left wing liberals. I hear each of them equally and sometimes play devils advocate just to get the riled up.

    ok, let's see...

    She mocks the caller for saying 'I don't know'...while talking about something she doesn't know about (oil futures - not that I know any more...I just know I'd be stammering same as she was if I was talking about it)...

    She is sarcastic about the two party system, but encourages the caller to tell her brother to vote for Obama, because he's the closest candidate to Ron Paul (?)....not to mention - she insinuates that Obama's stance on the war is the same as Pauls...yikes.

    She calls out the media not reporting the big issues while sidestepping or downplaying every issue the caller brought up (NAU, Superhwy, Bilderberg).

    did I miss anything? wow, that sucked.
