Wow. Lynn Samuels on SIRIUS repeatedly calling Obama a "little prick" on the air. Nice.

1. Like her or not, Lynn does not mince words.
She was calling Giuliani "vile" and "despicable" before it was fashionable.

2. shouldn't someone fact check that with Michelle?
I haven't had the "pleasure" of sirius, and with shit like that on the digitals, I suspect I will continue to do without. Who the hell is Lynn Samuels anyway?

6. What good can that bring?
Geez - give criticism if it is felt to be necessary - but the name calling/smearing/belittling... leave that for the other side. Ugh! I haven't ever listened to her, and from some of what I have read here per her comments, I am glad not to have heard her.

7. She's a nasty woman. The reason why I cancelled Sirius
She's vile, and her voice is like a cat being squeezed in the chest.

10. Odd how that is acceptable.
However if someone got on the air and called Samuels a tired worn out twat that would cause a huge upset. The English seem to have no problem with parity in the use of descriptive terms for genetalia as an epithet.

15. Could that be interpreted as a "sexist" remark
It's already a nasty attack without any substance to it, but I'm just wondering how others feel about the particular choice of words.

16. I don't care about sexist, it's just nasty and uncalled for. Totally unproductive.
For someone who is theoretically progressive on a channel supposedly devoted to progressives, it's ridiculous. Bad enough to use obscenities to refer to a righty without any substance, but to do it to a fellow Democrat is horrible. I find it hard to believe (well not really) that some appear to be offering a half hearted defense of this here based on "free speech" or whatever. Lynn Samuels can say whatever the fuck she wants but that doesn't mean anyone has to think it's okay.
