I heard this on none other than Mike Savage. But his take on it, was "we all know what he was doing there".
I recently got into an argument with a rightwing friend of mine, over rightwing radio. He said I was one of those guys who depends on what "liberals" say about rightwing radio, and I don't listen to it myself and make my own judgements.
As it turned out, I listen to rightwing radio more than he does.
How can you listen to that shit? It's bad enough when it's someone wonderful like Malloy, getting through all the commercials, but then add in the wingnut crap and it's got to make your head want to explode. I can't move fast enough across the dial from that shit.
As short as it is, the article has a lot more info than the one I read elsewhere. The other one merely said he was looking at houses - no mention of peeking in windows, nor did it mention that it was raining and he had a hood on.
What's funny is, I don't think I ever wrote that down anywhere, that I listen to a lot of rightwing radio. It's all that's on!
But, Savage was saying the story about Bob Dylan, and at first he sounded like he was siding with Dylan, saying the cops shouldn't have bothered him. THEN...he goes: "we all know what he was doing there, in a poor, minority section".
That's what I mean, by giving these jackasses a "chance", they always end up showing their true colors. Like Pat Buchanan. Glenn Beck. Sure, they say some true, good things. But their true colors always come back out.
I think Big Dan is right about knowing the enemy by listening in, but (I say) one rule must be followed first.
First before you partake in such an endeavor, you must learn to filter. You have to train your mind.
If you can kill your TV/AM/FM forever, your on your way, but... you must also learn to detect lies, spin, and missing data. Once you get that, you can listen to anything again.
You can turn on your TV and hear how they trail headlines by 24 hours, you can turn on your radio and see how they keep certain topics guided the way they want.
And yeah Big Dan, since they killed everything else all that is on is the propaganda. I don't like to call it rightwing anymore though. Cause part of my filter is I have learned democrats are just as bad as republicans, I hate them both.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. —John F. Kennedy
The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so. —Ronald Reagan
Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak. —Martin Luther King
We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked. —not uttered by anyone in charge lately
Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them. —Old Uncle Dave
As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country. —Pat Buchanan
Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids. —Scott Horton
There has to be altruism in the universe. —Frank Drake
The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome. —Paul Craig Roberts
I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court. —Cynthia McKinney
No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world." —Chris Floyd
The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below. —Howard Zinn
...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable. —Matt Taibbi
· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.
· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.
· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.
Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further. —Ted Rall
As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil. —Terry Eagleton
Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice. —Michael Parenti
I've found that culture, however useful and important, is neither the foundation nor the ceiling of human experience, even if it is commonly used for walls. —Thomas Cleary
I really consider President and Mrs. Mubarak to be friends of my family. So I hope to see him often here in Egypt and in the United States. —Hillary Clinton

ReplyDeleteI listen to it, so I can hear the enemy, what they're talking about. Know your enemy.
ReplyDeleteWhen I listen to Brad filling in for Malloy, I lose interest b/c there's so many commercials.
