I can’t imagine what one would need do to get fired from Air America, but Mike Malloy was fired today. According to his website:
There will be no Mike Malloy program today – or any day – on Air America Radio as we have been terminated. We are told its a financial decision.
We are as shocked as you are, especially since as recently as last Tuesday we were told we had the go-ahead to announce our return to NY airwaves and that our contract was “on the way.”
We are told its a financial decision.
More details to follow as we hear them ourselves.
I my not agree with Mr Malloy on issues, but he has been loyal to that station and deserved to be treated better than this.
He probably agreed with a conservative on a single issue, or some sort of other radical thinking…:twisted:
2.
Hey, in their world cutting taxes is radical thinking so you just ever know.
Maybe upon entering the studio one day he forgot to click his heels, render the salute, and state “Heil Hillary”!
You two are full of piss and vinegar tonight!:twisted:
He probibly refused to be converted to radical islam:lol:
Amazing that he was fired especially since scumbag loudmouth racist shmucks like Michael Savage (aka “The Weiner”) continue to fart their obscenities over the air. Assholes like Savage are somehow regurgitated because there is always a market for mediocrity. I hope you neoconderthals are having a good time over this.
7.
While your correct on the talking point regurgited you listed, that does not Malloy and his ilk from the same actions.
Not being a neocon, I still enjoy when mediocrity fails but like you said, mediocrity has a market. This also explains why Al Franken and his linebacker style approach to free speech is still around even though he can’t even rise to the heighths of mediocrity for which we both have disdain..
I hope you neoconderthals are having a good time over this.
We are and thanks for thinking of us!:smile:
“Heil Hillary”? You people are so paper-thin, really. For one thing, Mike Malloy is no fan of Hillary. For another, it’s hilarious that Hillary Clinton is the person that you always trot out as some paradigm of the liberal cause. Real lefties can’t stand her, and she sure as hell isn’t a liberal.
It’s all a Neo Con can do is repeat Right-wing talking points. There is not a shred of fact to ever back any of it up. Hell, even though Bush himself has admitted no connection between 9/11 and Iraq, these people will keep trying to make a connection. By the way, weren’t 16 of the 18 terrorists from 9/11 from Saudi Arabia? Osama? And the others? Why didn’t Bush attack them? Not one of the 9/11 terrorists was from Iraq.
The Right wing of the Republican party have become nothing more than the “Robber Barons” of our time. Fascism (The merging of corporate and state/federal interest) is the goal of these right-wingers. They won’t stop (The Bush Crime Family) until every bit of our Commons is privatized and the middle class has been eliminated.
Ask a Republican why he/she wants to eliminate Social Welfare (3% of our taxes) yet, wants to increase the already balooned Corporate Welfare program that drains well over 10% of our taxes and gives it to the largest Corps who make record profits and then send their jobs over seas.
These are just some of the subjects that Mike Malloy tackles in an evening.
TRUTH TO POWER!
Hey Cygnus (and everybody else), here’s why liberals are the fascists, using those 14 “characteristics” you always blurt out:
1. Liberals do not hate nationalism. They support Venezuelan, Cuban, Palestinian, and black nationalism, all while hating American patriotism. And if the American flag is so bad, does that mean the left hates the firefighters, policemen, and construction workers who have flags on their clothing?
2. If liberals care about human rights, they sure have a funny way of showing it. They are known to support Castro, Chavez, Mugabe, Kim, and other dictators who kill people for not supporting their views. And where is the condemnation from the left against the persecution of Christians and Jews?
3. Democrats blame Jews for a lot of things. Examples include Jim Moran, Jesse Jackson, and Cynthia McKinney. They also blame the military, conservatives, Christians, Jews, Americans, Israel, heterosexuals, Caucasians, and the like for a lot of the problems in the world. How about Maurice Hinchey blaming Bush for the CBS fake documents? Or Hollywood blaming SUV owners for pollution, while those same Hollywood nutcases fly around in private jets?
4. Democrats voted for the war and supported military supremacy against Kosovo. Of course, we know war is not the solution unless you’re a Democrat!
5. Sexism is also a liberal “value.” Fake rapes, hate crime hoaxes, quota systems, Title IX, Planned Parenthood, radical feminism, and support for misogynistic rappers like Eminem are supported by Democrats.
6. Democrats control the media. Liberals dominate CBS, CNN, NPR, New York Times, Boston Globe, Newsweek, ABC, MTV, VH1, and many more. What do the Republicans have? Fox and that’s about it, yet libs whine that the media is controlled by Bush. Liberal domination has also given us many media hoaxes, including the CBS fake documents, Newsweek’s Koran desecration hoax, and the Reuters Photoshop scandal. Would you rather have a Castro-like media, where the government controls everything you read?
7. Liberals are obsessed with national security. They want to get rid of it. And by the way, Hillary Clinton voted FOR the Patriot Act!
8. Where were the protests when Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, and other Democrats campaigned and gave speeches in churches? Pretty ironic, since liberals are known to be anti-Christian. And what about REVEREND Al Sharpton?
9. If libs hate corporations, they have a funny way of showing it. How many Democrats have been board members or stockholders of WalMart and Coke? And what about all the corporation that own the liberal media, like Time Warner’s CNN?
10. Republicans are not out to get rid of unions. Democrats do that themselves with all the corruption that occurs within labor power. How many labor leaders are in jail for stealing millions? Take the example of a local longshoreman’s union.
11. Liberals often censor intellectuals like Bernard Goldberg and David Horowitz just for opposing America-hating frauds like Ward Churchill. And the last time I checked, Condoleeza Rice had more merit as a PhD than dropouts like Tim Robbins and Alec Baldwin. As for the arts, explain why liberals censor pro-Israel exhibits at universities or wanted to prosecute the Danish cartoonists.
12. Liberals obsess with crime and punishment. They rally for the release of gangbangers, cop-killers, and terrorists, and defend Lynne Stewart. Jim McDermott opposed legislation that would give tougher sentences to child molestors.
13. Leftists are known for corruption. For example, there’s William Jefferson, the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, Alan Mollohan, and the United Nations. And what about the liberals who give their friends and relatives cushy jobs?
14. Democrats dominate in the election fraud department: Military votes thrown away, multiple registration, bribes, assaulting campaign volunteers, and vandalizing campaign offices. Let’s not forget the left’s support of Chavez, who throws his political opponents in jail so they can’t vote.
11- “Bush himself has admitted no connection between 9/11 and Iraq”- actually he said that there are ties to Iraq and AlQaeda but that Saddam did not order 9/11.
No Peejz, Bush said there is no direct connection between 9/11, period. He first admitted this a couple of years ago in his state of the union address and repeated it quite a few times in various settings. He also said that his administration has never found a link between Al Qaeda terrorists and Saddam. What gets confusing is that after every statement of admission re: “We have no evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction” or “We have no evidence that Iraq had any ties to 9/11,” he follows it by telling us that we need to continue to fight “The War on Terror” by defeating the insurgents in Iraq. Who are the insurgents? Most US citizens don’t know that there are Iraqi citizens fighting for their right to NOT BE OCCUPPIED. Could you imagine if some other country invaded us and expected us not to kick their asses out no matter what the cost?
Before the USA went into Iraq it was a SECULAR nation. Women were doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc. Women had rights that weren’t allowed in most other middle Eastern countries, especially Saudi Arabia who subjegates women more harshly than any of these countries. Why didn’t we go into Saudi Arabia? 16 of the 18 hijackers were from there. Like I stated before, none of the 9/11 Hijackers were Iraqi. Nor were any Iraqis found to be involved in the chain of command from top to bottom in Alqaeda. There were no Al Qaeda cells in Iraq until after the invasion of Iraq under G W Bush after 9/11. Car bombs were non-existant in Iraq until after the invasion, as well.
By the way. Where is Osama? In Pakistan, of course. And when the USA had him cornered in Afganistan? They let him go.
When Bush was asked in a press conference a few years ago why he rarely mentioned Osama bin laden he replied, “I don’t know where he is. You know, I don’t spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you.”
Now why would he pull troops away from the our goal of capturing Osama bin Laden. Osama is the “War on terror.” Is he not?
Rocky Lore,
I gotta hand it to you. You’re great at repeatig false right-wing rhetoric.
First off, CNN is owned by one big Ted Turner whom gives most of his campaign donations to the Republican Party.
Second Well, here’s the list:
News Corporation
FOX, The Sun, Twentieth Century Fox, and buttloads more.
Rupert Murdoch gives his donations only to the Republican Party.
General Electric
NBC, MSNBC, radio stations, etc.
GE is also into the business of arms manufacturing and war profiteering. There donations go mostly to the Republican Party.
Time Warner
CNN, CNN International, CNN Radio, etc.
Time Warner is a conservative group who supports and donates to the Republican Party, mostly.
Walt Disney Corp.
Disney, ABC, ESPN, Rush Limbaugh show, etc.
Mostly Conservatives who support and donate to the Republican Party, mostly.
VIACOM
CBS, UPN, Radio Stations(Infinity Broadcasting), TNN, All News Channel, etc.
Conservatives who give mostly to Republican causes, including political donations.
So, where is this Liberal media conservatives keep talking about? Air America Radio? Other than that, What else?
Conservatives control just about every bit of the airwaves. Most news puting the Bush Administration in a negative light never reaches any of the major news networks on television or the radio.
That’s not liberal media. I’m pretty sure if the media had a liberal bias Bush would’ve already been breaking rocks in a luxury prison for the past few years.
Rocky Lore,
Where do you get your information? All you have to do to disprove most of your arguments re: liberals/Democrats is to go to a real government website run by G W Bush himself and find out.
I don’t think you even know what a fascist is. When you merge corporations with government offices, in other words, if you privatize government entities that is considered fascism. If you go further and also control the media , news, etc. that is a further extention of fascism. Sound familiar? That’s what Italy did during WWII.
en.wikipedia.org
Show me some facts to back up your arguments, Rocky Lore.
Can you read? I said “actually he said that there are ties to Iraq and AlQaeda but that Saddam did not order 9/11.”
Osama is the “War on terror.”Is he not? No he is not. Osama is a part of the GWOT, but capturing him is but a part of the war.
First off, CNN is owned by one big Ted Turner whom gives most of his campaign donations to the Republican Party. CNN is owned by Time-Warner. Considered to be one of the most disasterous mergers in history. Ted gives to Republicans? Yes and to Democrats as well. I am sure you will be able to find that. Here is a start for you
“Can you read?”
Can you think?
16- of course I can, hence I am always correcting your mistakes:wink:
14: I wouldn’t put too much faith in Wikipedia for reliable information.
Your definition of fascism reads like it was written by a sociologist. Here is the dictionary definition…
Fascism: A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
Funny, I’m always correcting yours.
18- Hey! I call foul, you can’t use actual definitions!:shock:
I see how this website operates. If I’m a progressive and post a message the administrater puts a link to a propogandized news report trying to damage my post. That’s dishonest. Does that mean I can mess with other people’s posts? That’s rediculous.
Wow Sasha, the definition you just posted is for “Dictatorship.” It isn’t fascism unless corporate and state interests are merged. Again, you defined Dictatorship or Totalitarian Governmental body.
Administrators or someone on this thread are messing with my posts. Some of my post details have been errased and some added. Is that how you get Progressives not to keep posting on this website? By changing their posts so people read it differently than it was originally posted.
This doesn’t happen on progressive Threads. Censorship is happening right here on this thread.
I guess you lost another progressive voice.
By the way, I posted that Time Warner owns CNN and that they are conservative.
Don’t screw with my posts!
Wow Sasha, the definition you just posted is for “Dictatorship.”It isn’t fascism unless corporate and state interests are merged. Again, you defined Dictatorship or Totalitarian Governmental body
In addition to corporate and state interests fascism does include:
A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
By the way much of this definition embodies the Bush administration, its practices and policies.
Thanks
22- here is the link you are referring to
Use the link button properly or I will delete your entire post. As the conservatives on the site how serious I am!
It isn’t called censorship dumbass, it’s called following the rules!
Nothing else was touched. You own what you wrote..You said First off, CNN is owned by one big Ted Turner whom gives most of his campaign donations to the Republican Party. And that is simply not the case. I guess even you were surprised by your ignorance!

No, Cygnus, you’re making up definitions to suit your purpose. You’ll change the meaning as soon it’s convenient to do so.
Nobody on Air America actually likes Hillary. She’s too conservative. Just thought I’d point that out.
Name one liberal who supports Castro. Just one. I dare you. I really want to hear this.
