All the Malloy threads here have taught me something

[alcibiades_mystery]

How utterly inconsequential most of the postings on this board are. All heat and no light. Rantings over minor events as if they are the end of the world. Useless stupidities dressed up as profundities. What a laughable little disgrace this whole pseudo-controversy is. I have more respect for the people that agitated for the return of the original Becky on Rosanne.

One radio guy that's listened to by a very small segment of rabid fans got fired. So. Fucking. What?

Get a hold of yourselves.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

1. Can You Say Heaven's Gate? LOL

[MissB]

2. This particular thread taught me something too.

a) I obviously missed something today

b) A poster I usually enjoy is obviously fed up and it is showing.

[bklyncowgirl]

3. If you're one of his fans you're pissed. nt

[princehal]

4. Smoochies

You just added a lot!

[Moochy]

5. laughable little disgrace

FOR SHAME!!!

[Junkdrawer]

6. Do you do funerals, too?

:shrug:

[alcibiades_mystery]

89. Yes, and the 10 o'clock show is always different than the 8 o'clock show

;-)

[The Jacobin]

7. Greatest. Response. Ever.

Thank you.

[tuvor]

8. Thank you.

And I hope your flameproof suit is on tight.

[babylonsister]

9. Funny, I've learned something also. If you're not interested, don't

post.
I'm not a Malloy fan as I never listened, so I don't post, BUT. A voice of reason is hard to find nowadays. When people have found one, and it's taken away, they're pissed. I don't blame them.

And sad you would hurt people that way who are already hurting. That is something that happens too often at this board.

Nice picture though.

[WestHoustonDem]

14. Mike is like part of my family. When people are deeply affected

by a situation, you are wrong to ridicule us. There's not point in trying to reason with someone with your attitude except to say that I feel sorry for the people in your life that count on you for moral support.

[sendero]

15. something is happening here..

... but you don't know what it is, do you Mr. OP?

[B Calm]

39. He or she is fucking clueless!

[alcibiades_mystery]

83. Haaarumph

[Mika]

17. So. Fucking. What?

A rare on-air voice that spoke truth to power is off the air and you say "So. Fucking. What?"?


:wtf:

[patrice]

18. Some of it is worry about AAR going under.

Otherwise, I agree with you.

[LSK]

50. I find it incredibly ironic that you have a Rush picture in your sig

And yet you dont give a shit when the total polar opposite of Rush is taken off the air???

[BeachBuckeye]

23. The guy who got fired is a personal friend of mine and a colleague

Is it ok if I am pissed and say so?

[The Jacobin]

25. Fired?

He still has a show and affiliates. Mike is just at status quo ante AAR.

[BeachBuckeye]

32. And who might those affiliates be? n/t

[wherewingstakedream]

40. Wrong!

Thom Hartmann and Jerry Springer have affiliates that are independent of Air America. Mike now has no show and no affiliates.

[B Calm]

26. Guy James!! Thanks for standing with Malloy!

[Swamp Rat]

29. Hey guy!

:hi:

You, Mike, and a few others are the true progressive voices I listen to on the radio.

[BeachBuckeye]

38. The Liberal Radio medium is tremendously outnumbered

by the Right. We lose one of the very BEST and this guy thinks its peachy keen? Mike Malloy can't be replaced with any 5 other guys. "And the horse you rode in on" pal!

[EFerrari]

57. The whole team he road in on. n/t

[EFerrari]

56. Yes, it is. Let me join you.

The management at AAR fucked up ROYALLY today and it's going to be a LONG TIME before I tune in again.

This is no friggin way to treat Mike Malloy. Shame on you.

[EFerrari]

24. Way to disrespect a valuable member of the progressive community.

[LoKnLoD]

55. and

a real friend and supporter of DU. I found DU from Mike mentioning it on air.

[EFerrari]

62. Welcome to DU.

Think of the little guy facing the tank in Tianamen Square.

[FogerRox]

51. facing that tank... so true, so true.

[WillyT]

30. Wow... The Great And Powerful A_Mystery Has Spoken !!!

And please, A_Mystery, pray tell us how YOU help the cause when not hovering over your keyboard.

I'm pretty sure Malloy has done a whole lot more than you, but maybe you've done so much more than the rest of us.

Please, do tell...

:evilfrown:

[Swamp Rat]

37. He's busy washing the petroleum jelly off his hands.

He'll be back in a moment to answer your post.

Oh, wait....

66. darn those new fangled keyboard protectors!!!

[alcibiades_mystery]

71. Indeed

Stickiness is a plus...

74. Did you remember to bring a fresh towel for Ann Coulter?

Don't forget to clean off Annie! :D

"How utterly inconsequential most of the postings on this board are."


i don't recall sitting up late at nite glued to the am station replaying your words.
dp

[tridim]

34. If your brilliant coworker got fired because he was "different"

would you also say "so fucking what?"

Mike wasn't even allowed to say goodbye to his fans, they just threw him out onto the hypothetical sidewalk and are apparently not letting Peter Werbe even mention it. It's fucking bullcrap.

[w4rma]

35. It taught me that it was probably a very stupid move to fire Malloy.

You just don't get rid of people who have listeners as loyal as this.

[B Calm]

42. Exactly!

[FogerRox]

60. "It taught me that it was probably a very stupid move to fire Malloy."

YUP...

I tolerate SPringer & Franken, because they bring in the noobies. When the noobs grow up, they need some real truth to power, and thats where Randi, Mike & Hartman come in.

[al bupp]

36. Right On, am /eom

[LTR]

41. I K&R'ed this, and I'll tell you why

I'm not appalled by your post. I see what you're getting at.

However, I am appalled at many of the responses here. Just disgusting. It's been a long time since I've seen so much hate and negativity. Just appalling.

Sure, your post was a little bit mean. But I'm sure you mean well.

By the way, I don't care about the original Becky. But why did they have to replace Darren on "Bewitched"?

[Individualist]

45. Nothing like kicking a man when he's down, eh?

Typical DLC supporter snarky behavior! :puke:

47. please review the right wing dominance of Radio in the past 30 years

And try to understand why AAR and all the left wing radio guys are extremely important to try and turn the tide.

Or would you rather just left Rush and Rush-lite continue to dominate???

[DancingBear]

48. As long as we're counting "inconsequential posts"

You have 6899 of them.

That them there is one hell of a lot of inconsequence, yessem.

[Moochy]

61. and the op pulled a drive by on this one it seems

187 on a flamebait post!! :bounce:

[alcibiades_mystery]

80. I have several responses on this thread

Not sure how I'm suppopsed to respond to "Go cheney yourself" and other nonsenses of that variety, so I didn't. But it's far from a drive-by.

[KoKo]

52. That seems a very "high horse" statement....when there are so many

devoted Malloy fans here. Why not give Malloy fans a break that their anger is justified before proclaiming yourself as the judge and jury over what is important to post on DU. :-(

[Moochy]

54. The shit must be stirred

apparently... :shrug: poor shruggie.

[Catamount]

53. Why stay--if we're so petty?

Get lost and cheneyed!

[alcibiades_mystery]

65. For the witty banter

:rofl:

[Kingofalldems]

63. Well why are you here then?

If I thought most of the posts on DU are utterly inconsequential I would go elsewhere. What an insulting post to all DU members. I suspect the Malloy thing had nothing to do with your post---it was an opening and you took it.

[alcibiades_mystery]

68. Hmmm, suspicious

:eyes:

[Kingofalldems]

76. For quite a while actually

Now I'm sure.

[alcibiades_mystery]

78. But not brave enough to make any accusations

Just the usual implications and cowardly innuendo. Real stand up guy, king. At least I say what I'm thinking. You just sneak around trying to skirt the rules with mealy-mouthed innuendo. :eyes:

[Kingofalldems]

Well golly shucks then

If you don't like DU posts why don't you leave? I think I implied that question originally, but you chose not to answer.

[alcibiades_mystery]

97. To much fun

Like you. You're a fun guy.

[Horse with no Name]

67. What it teaches me

Is that we are always empowering each other and telling each other to write LTTE, call our Congressment, Buy Blue, etc.
In essence, to put our money where our mouth is.
How is this different?
Activism is activism.
Keeping true progressive voices on the air is activism.
Replacing them with milquetoast DLC serves no purpose for the true progressive cause.

[bigtree]

69. you have a distorted view of what we're doing here

this is a discussion board. discussions take place here. get a hold of your own self.

you decided YOU whining would solve your problem with other people whining?

silly hypocrit, practice what you preach, tee hee

[alcibiades_mystery]

77. I didn't think it would solve the problem

So much as put the spotlight on it. :rofl:

[AtomicKitten]

72. oh no you didn't

79. You think this is funny tonight?

I don't.

81. And that's why you needs ta chill

[madfloridian]

92. I don't insult good people. I never have. 13 recommends for being rude?

What is going on that this post is getting recommends and laughter.

I don't listen to Mike often, but I feel just as sad as the ones who did.

[geomon666]

93. No, she doesn't. She's madfloridian.

And I happen to be one pissed off floridian myself.

[Moochy]

82. It taught me why I used to have you on ignore

:yourock: (not)

It's good to be here

I just flew in from St. Petersburg, and boy....

[SaveElmer]

84. Man what was that I just felt....

Oh yeah...a breath of fresh air!!!

A little pocket of sanity!


Now the Becky thing....that WAS important!!!

[NYCGirl]

90. The second Becky wasn't nearly as good as the first...that's when I quit

watching.

:evilgrin:

[madfloridian]

87. It is amazing this got 11 recommends and is on the greatest page.

And so many decent posts go begging.

It is not a funny post at all. It is like laughing at good people who care about something.

And anyone who laughs with you has lost my respect.

[Guaranteed]

88. LET'S BURN THE PLACE DOWN!!

Sarcasm- of course. Hi, Agent Mike!

This "Let's destroy AAR" idea is probably the stupidest, most short-sighted political call I've ever heard on DU.

[marmar]

94. Dude, who pissed in your Cheerios this morning?

I don't like Ann Coulter posts, so I don't read them. I wouldn't presume to tell those who read and post in them that their concerns are worthless and a waste of time. A tad bit sanctimonious, aren't we?

[CantGetFooledAgain]

95. Wow. What a consequential posting...

I'm glad that you've come to this epiphany about DU and DU'ers. Well, it's pretty obvious that there's no point in your wasting any more time here.

Godspeed, alcibiades_mystery. Don't let the door hit your sanctimonious ass on the way out.

We'll miss you.

[madfloridian]

96. It is unreal to me that this post is still going strong and 15 recommends.

I know some places that can't be named who are laughing their fool heads off over this thread....

Speaks to the character of someone who would post such rudeness and those who would laugh.

[pinto]

98. Locked.

Way too much vitriol here to call it a discussion.
