Mike Malloy or Randi Rhodes?

Which do you prefer?

I prefer Ray Taliaffero, Guy James, or Bernie Ward...

Kinda like bringing your own 2-liter of RC Cola to a Pepsi/Coke taste challenge. :shrug:

:evilgrin:

His way of dealing with anger and frustration is not to everyone's taste, but to me it's very theraputic to listen to him go off on stupid stuff. :)

:rofl:

was the time he strung along this right wing fundy making the guy think he - Mike - was on his side. Oh man it was cruel but oh so damn funny.

Freeper calls in and says "freedom isn't free. People gotta die so we can have freedom." Mike had me crying with laughter, but I think the caller was crying for another reason lolol.

Both Malloy and Rhodes are fine in smaller doses, but my BP goes too high if I overdose on either of them. They can be so strident, though their passion is certainly appreciated.


Sam is a delightful combination of humor, obvious intellect, and balanced perspective. I adore him, as I do Bobby Kennedy, Jr, Mike Papantonio, Thom Hartman, and the vibrant Rachel Maddow.

wish they'd give him her job.

but if forced to choose... it'd be tough.

Randi has really become even more full of herself lately, IMO.

Mike Malloy interacts better with callers... so

Malloy.

But only if I can't have Sam or Rachel.

Thom Hartman

There aren't any to my knowledge that I hate. Randi can be rude and loud to her callers. I don't like that. But she is interesting, and extremely informative and she is the real deal..what you see is what you get. The rest of the pack-I love them all...It would be hard for me to pick the best..although I would have to say Bernie Ward is my favorite and Randi probably number 2. Guy James is the one who is extremely underrated and deserves his own syndicated talk show (and a decent salary!)

Wow, the first time I welcomed someone else. Hope you have fun and learn a lot here, I have.

:hi:

I enjoy them all, each for different reasons. They all have their problems as well as their strengths. I will admit that I haven't given much time to Shultz to give an honest evaluation. There was always something better on at the time. I'm curious why I haven't seen names like Laura Flanders, Peter Werbe, P. B. Collins, Ian Masters, Chuck Mertz, or Blase Bonpane in threads like these.

To listen to them all.. Here's my day:
I get up in the mornings when I am off(I work graveyard) and start my day putting my computer on liberal talk radio, starting out with Stephanie Miller, Then Thom Hartman and Randi Rhodes. Then I take a 2-3 break then come back and listen to Mike Malloy. At Midnight my time, I put on the Lion on the Left, Uncle Bernie Ward, followed by Ray Taliaferro. Of course I have to sleep sometime & go to work! But I catch em as much and as often as I can!

Thank God for Liberal Talk Radio!

such small worlds

I appreciate both of them.

Let's say you HAD to choose between one of them...

"the next rally I go to will have guns" (paraphrase of mike malloy)

he speaks what I want to say.

when you want to just have a laugh. She makes her points with humor that puts the knife in just as well as anybody.

As she demands to be called by "tititular right."

Sam had her on while subbing for Randi Rhodes the other day for a quite extended bit. Claimed a woman couldn't be president, and that the highest office she could obtain was "bride of Christ." Hysterical.

Who does this for him? She's amazing, dead-on in capturing the looniness of Harris and others (though I think Harris' own loony Christianity is fake).

i missed that part of the show, but another DUer posted about it yesterday.

:rofl::spray::rofl:

Mike Malloy and Randi Rhodes don't even rate with me.

Randi spends a lot of time talking about her dog, which celebrities she's been hanging around with, things happening in her life ("Randi Blogging"). Some people might like that kind of stuff (makes them feel like they know the broadcaster, maybe?) but I don't like it.

I like red meat. When I listen to Air America, I want to hear political talk radio. I want to hear about current events. I want to hear smart political analysis of current events.

My favorite liberal talk radio hosts, in approximate order from highest to lowest (excluding ones I've never heard):

Sam Seder
Ring of Fire (RJK Jr and Mike Pappantonio)
Mike Malloy
Marc Maron (part timer)
Rachel Maddow (lose the sports, please)
Thom Hartmann (good but too much Ayn Rand crap)
Randi Rhodes
Mark Riley
Alan Colmes
Richard Greene
Jon Elliott
Richard Bey
Lionel

But I don't listen to either anymore. There's only so much anger I can take....

I love them both.
