“We lost the election, Sean!” Ann Coulter told Fox host Sean Hannity last night after she claimed that Republicans should accept President Barack Obama’s proposed tax hikes for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans. Her political reversal came during Fox’s Sean Hannity Show when the topic of the fiscal cliff was brought up and Coulter explained that Republicans need to stop giving into the media’s negative perception of their party in order to have a chance at winning in the 2014 and 2016 elections. “In the end, at some point, if the Bush tax cuts are repealed and everyone’s taxes go up, I promise you Republicans will get blamed for it,” she said. ...

f you’ve ever listened to conservative talk radio, you’ve probably heard of Goldline, the precious metal seller endorsed by Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and others. But,critics allege that Goldline is misleading its consumers, much like the talkers they sponsor. The company’s business model was built on systemically swindling and scaring its mostly elderly clientele into purchasing overpriced gold coins, prosecutors in California alleged, leading the company to settle for $4.5 million in refunds to its customer. The City Attorney in Santa Monica, where the company is based, brought 19 criminal fraud charges against the company that were later dropped, but a Los Angeles judge ...

Beck On Romney’s Loss: ‘Man, Sometimes God Really Sucks’

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck on Wednesday declared that Mitt Romney’s loss to President Barack Obama proved that “sometimes God really sucks.” As it was becoming apparently that the president was going to be re-elected on Tuesday, Beck had told a panel on his Blaze TV network that “the body of America is even sicker than I thought it was.” “Twelve years ago, I could say with real assurance that I knew who Americans were,” he explained. “And I can’t say that any more.” During his radio show the next morning, Beck told listeners that he had realized Romney was going to lose while praying before the polls opened on Tuesday. “Man, ...

Republican radio figure Rush Limbaugh announced Wednesday that, far from the Republican Party simply failing to turn out its base on Tuesday night, “we are outnumbered” now in the country, calling President Barack Obama’s overwhelming reelection victory “the trend” from now on. “We have to face some truths, we have to face some reality,” he said. “We are outnumbered and we are losing ground. This was not a glitch. This is the trend. That happened last night. This is the trend. We are outnumbered. Whether you want to put it in terms of, ‘Have we lost the country or not?’ There’s no other explanation.” This audio is from ...

Bush Foreign Policy Infects Romney Ticket

As we come up on the third and final presidential debate of this election year, Rachel Maddow took on GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney for 1) seemingly not expressing an interest in foreign policy matters (as evidenced by a report in the New York Times indicating that Romney’s advisers wonder whether he is even reading their briefings), and for 2) essentially taking on the Bush administration’s foreign policy instead of coming up with a fresh, new alternative. Maddow then mentioned Dan Senor — who has been a frequent guest on the network, most notably on Morning Joe — a top adviser to Paul Ryan who was previously a spokesman within the Bush administration. Senor ...

Sean Hannity Falsely Claims "Every Single Person" Would Have Kept Their Job Without Auto Rescue

Sean Hannity falsely claimed that the auto industry rescue under President Obama was a failure and that "every single person" working in the industry would have kept their job had the government allowed the big three auto companies to go bankrupt. In fact, more than a million jobs would have been lost without the rescue, and bankruptcy would have likely resulted in liquidation of the auto companies. Hannity pushed the falsehood on the October 15 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show while talking to a caller. After the caller correctly pointed out that there were jobs saved due to the auto bailout, Hannity responded: ...

LOS ANGELES, CA - Michael Savage's talk show is off the air for now. Savage left Thursday after winning a legal battle with his longtime employer, the Talk Radio Network. Savage’s attorney David Horowitz said discussions with new networks are already under way.Horowitz says Savage has been fighting the network for two years to get out of a 10-year-old contract that prevented him from switching employers. Horowitz said the agreement lacked protections afforded to artists and entertainers under California law, and tied Savage to Talk Radio Network indefinitely. Savage posted a message on his website Thursday evening saying he was, "Free at Last!" He added that he is free ...

Michael Rozeff’s post on the Lew Rockwell blog is correct: “Obama Will Win.” Rozeff asserts that “Ron Paul was the strongest candidate for the nomination, but the Republicans chose to die instead…” The so-called conservatives in America who preferred a socialist Big Government Establishment crackpot like Romney will nominate him and sweep Obama to a second term. The Romney supporters will once again put themselves in denial, call Romney a “conservative,” a “capitalist” (which he certainly is not!) and pretend that he would actually entertain the thought of cutting budgets, cutting deficits, dealing with the National Debt, dealing with the ...

Sen. John McCain on Monday linked former Vice President Dick Cheney’s assertion that picking former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for vice president was a “mistake” to his support for torture. During an interview that aired on Sunday, Cheney had told ABC’s Jonathan Karl that it was important for presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney to handle his VP pick better than McCain had in 2008. “[T]he test to get on that small list has to be, is this person capable of being president of the United States?” Cheney explained. “I like Gov. Palin, I’ve met her, I know her, she’s an attractive candidate, but based on her background — she had only been ...

Obama 'Most Evil' President Ever: Warns tyranny begins with kind of rhetoric delivered over weekend Any doubt Americans may have had that Barack Obama is a Marxist should be alleviated now after hearing his rhetoric in a speech in Virginia over the weekend, top-radio host Michael Savage told his listeners last night. Asserting that it is governments and not individuals who create jobs, Obama told entrepreneurs Saturday: “If you’ve got a business – you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” “You didn’t get there on your own,” the president said. “I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was ...

It looks like former Republican presidential front-runner Herman Cain will have a full-time radio gig starting next year. As pointed out by RadioInsight.com late on Sunday night, a page lifted from a Google cache of WSB’s website states longtime Atlanta WSB host Neal Boortz will be giving up the microphone and passing the buck to former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain. The post appears set to run on wsbradio.com at 10:07 a.m. on Monday — which is at the top of his first hour — and reports Boortz’s last day will be Jan. 18, 2013 with Cain starting on Jan. 21, 2013. “Today national radio talk show host Neal Boortz announced live on his program that ...

A lot less people are interested in what conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh has to say after he called Georgetown University law student a “slut” and a “prostitute,” according to one industry ratings source. Politico reported on Monday that Abritron’s key demographic ratings between March 29 and April 25 showed Limbaugh’s show had fallen 27 percent in New York City, 31 percent in Houston, 35 percent in Jacksonville and 40 percent in the Seattle-Tacoma market. “Clearly Sandra Fluke isn’t the only one who didn’t like Rush calling her a ‘slut’ given how many viewers that comment incinerated,” a listener told Politico‘s Dylan ...

The head of one of the biggest radio companies in the country said Monday that the advertiser boycott of Rush Limbaugh cost him "millions" in 2012. Lew Dickey, the CEO of Cumulus, was speaking to financial analysts about his companies' results. The boycott -- which saw scores of advertisers leave after Limbaugh called law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute" because of her birth-control advocacy -- had "hit us pretty hard." Dickey said that Cumulus had lost "a couple of million bucks in the first quarter and a couple of million bucks in quarter two." He claimed that the losses accounted for one percent of the 3.5 percent ...
Rape Away The Gay? Radio Personality Tells Father To Get A Man To Rape His Daughter Until She Turns Straight

A radio personality in Cleveland is facing tremendous backlash after telling a father that he should get one of his male friends to rape his daughter to force her to turn straight. In response to an email from a father who suspected his daughter was gay after discovering her kissing another girl, DJ Dominic Deiter declared on the air that “You should get one of your friends to screw your daughter straight.” You read that correctly. An apparently anti-gay radio personality told a father that he should arrange for his daughter to be raped repeatedly until she magically turns straight. After the disgusting remark, GLAAD received multiple reports about the incident, which was said ...
Allen West: I'm gonna expose these Communist Congress members for who they are

Allen West is not backing down even though certain media outlets are incredibly upset that he said there were around 80 communist congressional members in the House, referring to the Congressional Progressive Caucus. In the interview with Mark Levin below, he cites several bills that the CPC has brought to the floor by name, including one where they wanted to add a constitutional amendment to redistribute wealth. West says the media isn’t challenging him on the substance of his accusation, they just don’t like the fact that he said it. But he vows to continue exposing these people and speaking the truth: The thing is that, incredibly enough, that the media in their search to try ...
Radio Campaign Next Step Against Rush Limbaugh

NEW YORK (AP) — Rush Limbaugh's opponents are starting a radio campaign against him Thursday, seizing upon the radio star's attack of a Georgetown law student as a "slut" to make a long-term effort aimed at weakening his business. The liberal Media Matters for America is using a past campaign against Glenn Beck as a template. In Limbaugh, however, they're going after bigger game. He's already fighting back and the group's stance has provoked concerns that an effort to silence someone for objectionable talk is in itself objectionable. Media Matters is spending at least $100,000 for two advertisements that will run in eight cities. The ads use ...

‘Talkers’ magazine publisher: Limbaugh likely ‘has the biggest audience he’s had in years’ In the wake of uproar following conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh’s characterization of 30-year-old contraception activist and Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke last month as a “slut,” Limbaugh has seen advertisers flee and entire campaigns waged to get him off the air. But the big question remains: Just how have Limbaugh’s ratings been affected? There has been no measure of his listenership since the Fluke flap. But nonpartisan radio expert Michael Harrison told The Daily Caller that Limbaugh’s numbers likely are going nowhere but up — ...
Rush Limbaugh Ad Boycott Still Rolling Along

Although the nonstop headlines have died down, Rush Limbaugh's "slut" comments about Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke are still reverberating, with the New York Times reporting today that this week "new evidence emerged that the ad boycott was costing Premiere Radio Networks — the show's syndicator — money, though the total amounts are unclear." The sustained push-back against Limbaugh can be largely credited to liberal groups like Media Matters for America, whose homepage this morning rotates between three stories: "The Habitual Dishonesty Of Rush Limbaugh," "Rush Limbaugh's Denial," and "Who's Advertising On Rush ...

Since he's so concerned about President Obama's "radical associations," we’d like to hear Hannity’s explanation for sitting on the advisory board of a charity run by Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson. We’ve got a video showing African American Peterson thanking God and the white man for slavery and comparing slave ships to riding coach in an airplane: “It’s a tough ride. But you’re happy when you get to your destination.” UPDATED.Sean Hannity has been obsessed with his widely-ridiculed “exposé” that shows President Obama introducing and then hugging “radical” (read: racist) Harvard professor Derrick Bell at a Harvard ...
