"Lionel" calls KO the "Hannity of the Left"....

[Postman]

http://airamerica.com/content/lionel-olbermann-has-lost-it

Only the difference, Mr Lionel, is that KO tells the truth as opposed to the denying of reality over in Hannity World.

on edit: I like Lionel and understand the attempt by AAR to try and grab Center/Right listeners with their hiring of him but, sometimes Lionel's libertarianism gets the best of him.

Bring back Sam Seder. Please.

[PatGund]

1. Not to mention....

...the fact that Lionel's voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

[movonne]

2. I call lionel an asshole...

[Larkspur]

16. Same here

I turn off my XM Satellite radio after the Bill Press show Monday - Friday. I won't listen to Lionel.

[Selatius]

3. There's no equivalent. When facts back up KO more than SH, something isn't equal. nt

[Kolesar]

4. Streaming audio, argh.

Is he the guy over in DU Political Videos with the Groucho Marx eyebrows?

[Champion Jack]

5. Lionels the guy, who , when he comes on my radio I change the channel

[Postman]

7. I think I heard Sam Seder say....

in response to an IM'er, that Sam's show ratings have not been matched by Lionel...

[rusty quoin]

6. For some reason there are several Lionel posts today, but anyways ...

he can be funny, though I don't like what he said about Keith.

[eleny]

8. Is his contract up soon?

Sam Seder would be so much better.

Lionel used to have a few fun shows over the course of a month before he went to AAR. But these days when I do catch a rerun late at night, he just sounds like a belittler.

[Rex]

9. Yawn, KO ain't like Hitler-lite. Try again you clueless idiot.

[RevCheesehead]

10. who in the hell is Lionel?

I only know two:
1 George Jefferson's son
2 the train

Surely, I can't be the only one? :shrug:

[tulsakatz]

14. no you're not the only one........

I was just getting ready to say.......who in the hell is Lionel and why should I care?

And since I haven't heard of him until now, there's probably a good reason! Especially considering that he compared KO to SH.....it sounds like I haven't missed much.....

[Fovea]

11. Surely not.

Olbermann is well informed and sincerely passionate.

Lionel is like the Mel Blanc of the center left.

Compared to Sam Seder, Lionel is little better than muzak(tm).

[jgraz]

12. "jgraz" calls Lionel the "Dickless Wonder of the Airwaves"

What a worthless cretin this asshole is.

[rocktivity]

13. Rocknation calls "Lionel"

the "Stimpson J. Cat" of the left...

:boring:
rocknation

[Thirtieschild]

15. I'm keeping an Arbitron diary this week & stay away until Lionel is off the air

I listened to him maybe once and said never again.

[SalviaBlue]

17. Can't stand listening to Lionel

I would like to listen to talk on my morning drive but its either Lionel on XM or right wing crazies... so I listen to music. Oh well, its probably better for my sanity anyway.

[Dukkha]

18. Never heard of him

so he's obviously a nobody

[Ichingcarpenter]

19. Pictures of Lionel, Keith and Sam

20. Han-nutty is dumb as a pile of warm horse dung

Link: http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/kfiles/b91585.html

And like all RW Radio Hatemongers he hasn't the
slightest idea of what he is talking about.

[jimshoes]

21. Lionel can eat worms.

Who even listens to him?

[Rob H.]

22. Lionel is an insufferable, condescending jackass

He doesn't even seem to realize that he's way more impressed with himself than anyone else is.

[Clintonista2]

23. True

[Berry Cool]

24. Well, now I have an even better reason not to listen to Lionel.

What an ass.

[susankh4]

25. Lionel is absolutely correct.

And the fact that the Olbermann freaks are out whining, en mass is proof.

[Brigid]

26. Mr. Lionel . . . .

you say that like it's a bad thing. You know, as in you can dish it out but you can't take it. :evilgrin:

[elizfeelinggreat]

27. truth does not equal same

Why would anyone accept that analogy?

Whether you like KO or not, why would you?

[lifesbeautifulmagic]

28. oh, so what if he is.

i am not saying he is, but if he is, so what? I am sick of the other side acting shocked, i mean Shocked when "we" fight back. I am sick of liberals and progressives laying down and just taking it. Obviously fighting back with facts is the best, and that is what Keith does, but it is going to take facts and a lot of emotion as well, especially to wake up the middle on what is really going on in this country.
