Probably not. This guy really is even worse than Limbaugh, Liddy, North
and about anyone else you can think of. But he's filling dead air on AM
radio late at night. I guess his only redeeming social value is that he
keeps the truckers from nodding off.

Is Mario's show syndicated? Maybe my local radio station would like
to carry his show, since Jim Hightower went off the air...
I've heard Mario is really quick to hang up or talk over callers who
disagree with him. Is that correct? He probably got his radio
training from Larry King.
Art Stone
>without a doubt its old blubber ass
Would that be a vote for Rush?
DXFool
Every show, he would rattle off six or seven topics and expect
people to talk about them during his one and only hour. Good thing
he quit before his Tribune Radio contract ran out.
Runner-up: Roy Masters. Not even Roger Friedenburg would
acknowledge him.

They probly did not give it to him because he sucks as a talk radio host.
He has a vendetta against certain topics and he uses his show to attack them
with lies and charactor assasinations. Excuse my strong reaction but he has
wrongfully attacked friends of mine in the past.

Bernie Ward is from SF. He's even fatter than Rush. I saw him on Crossfire
and he wouldn't shut the f**k up. Whenever the conservatives tried to
reply, he just started talking again and wouldn't let them be heard. He
also radicules (inside joke for stern fans) listeners who disagree with
him. At least Rush doesn't do that. Typical liberal tactics. If you can't
back up what you're saying with facts, drown the other side out.

Hello, radio heads...
The obvious choices here would have to be Rush & G.Gordon, but I think
I'll cast my vote for Ken Hamblin. (for WORST syndicated talk-show host)
Doesn't Ken, who calls himself "The Black Avenger," realize that his
worshipping of "Brother Rush" is an insult to African Americans who give
a you-know-what about the issues facing them? Is there no end to the
bigotry I hear from these "right-wing wacko's"??!! Ken Hamblin is yet
another Rush clone, but I feel he's especially dangerous to African
Americans who may tune in to his show and actually believe even 2% of
what he's saying!!!
By the way, I love the Bruce Williams quote/reference...hilarious!!

talk show host is Allen Combs (spelling?). He is so far left that he is
humorous even to conservatives like myself. Bernie Ward acts like he is
paid to espouse his views. I hear no passion and absolutely no humor. I
notice that the only humor that I attributed to Allen Combs (spelling?) is
his hyperbole in support of the liberal agenda. This is not fair. He is
genuinely funny. He is a little sleazy and uncouth for my tastes (in
contradiction to Rush Limbaugh, for example).

Have you caught Ken's recent series of shows about Slavery in the
Sudan and Mauritania? It sounds like some of his A/A callers are
getting really uncomfortable with the subject. I guess a lot of people
were unaware that slavery of black Africans is alive and well in 1996.

The folks on the list are candidates because they have syndicated
shows with wide distribution. My comments were just there to provoke
discussion.
The best hour of my day is G. Gordon Liddy's Comment and Review of the

distributed nationally. I enjoy hearing what the one newspaper in

I don't agree. I don't agree with Limbaugh but I think that his politics
are very needed and legit. Democratic Party liberalism has no brain
left. It needs criticism...Liberalism has reduced itself in the last
decade to: Find a victim group, advocate special rights for them...feel
guilty...cut them a check...hope they feel dependent and vote Democratic
Party......feel guilty....
That is not what brought me to Democratic Party Liberalism in the late
1950s and early 60s. (by the way...I hated Robert Kennedy because I came
from a real blue collar union family....not one of these pant load, panty
wearing, Trust Fund-Harvard educated Liberals who hate who they are and
want to help and spend two months in Harlem or Africa and then have the
limo pick them up at the airport........ish....Those vermin are now the
Democratic Liberals...like that creature who ruined Brown University and
set back health care in this country two decades with
Hilary......Magaziner...and Paul Wellstone....Carleton College
Liberals.....Elitists...and Limbaugh has their pulse...In the long run
he will do the Democrats a lot of good...They are a bunch of old white men
who will not give up power to new leaders...including women and
blacks...men like Sabo of Minnesota....etc.....And this is what IMUS
senses...Liberal arrogance...and limitless ability to believe themselves
to be the way, the truth and the life......and on the other hand fire the
travel staff and crucify the elderly woman who found the documents...on
the table....and they still consider themselves heroic protectors of the
poor and the children...They are scoundrels and anyone like IMUS who has
done a day of honest labor sees them for what they are....Puritans like
Hilary, who think they know better and are better...IMUS is the
Greatest...and most liberal talk show hosts have missed the fact that many
of the programs of the late 60 and Lyndon destroyed factions of the Black
population of our country. Trina Keller

It is so true! Bernie Ward is the lowest kind of pseudeo-intellectual
liberal pond scum to be caught in anyone's net in ages. He can piss
me off faster than anyone...including that fat load from the other
side of the spectrum: Pumpkinhead. At least Limblob rarely YELLS AT

It is odd how that particular trait is endearing in Howard Stern, but
no one else.

Aint that a fact! Ward and I disagree on manyseveral things (aminal
rights, death penalty, corporal punishment, yatta yatta) but the man is
GOOD! He is well read, knows his stuff and is a strong voice on the left.
He is not a "straight ticket" man either, he has a brain and will cross
to the other side when principles are at stake. His weaknesses are that
he relies too much on the "I didn't ask you that... I said..." which is
effective, but can be frustrating. Instead of sparring with the caller,
he drops a piano on them and claims victory. On the other hand, compared
to some of the rude turkeys out there (Bob Grant springs to mind!) he's
great!

"Fatter than Rush!?" Now THERE'S an understatement. He makes Rush look
like Pee-Wee Herman! He's a defrocked Catholic Priest and ex Barbara
Bouncer flunky who was consigned to late night, Sunday morning "God
Talk," (where he proceeded to tear God apart) and fill-in duty for
vacationing hosts.
His big break came when another fat liberal slob by the name of Duane
Garrett, who was a Dumbocrat insider (managed campaigns for Diane
Feinswine, AlGore ect) took a header off the Golden Gate Bridge. True
to his liberal-hypocrite roots Mr. Garrett turned out to CROOK, bilking
people with phony sports memorabilia. Rather than face the music he did
his swan dive leaving his wife and young kids $5,000,000 in debt!
So Bernie "The Red" Ward got his prime evening slot by default. He
won't do any better nationally than Hightower did. Only a piece-of-shit
town like Frisco could put up with him in the first place.

Bernie Ward is a fucking joke-a crypto-intellectual-politico who tries
to be half Fartman and half Limbaugh and doesn't have the talent to be
either. I've listened to him several times and he's a zero-there's
nothing there. If he's the "strongest" liberal around then the
liberals in this country are in more fucking trouble then even I
thought-
As for Limbaugh losing audience-just the opposite is true.
Liddy is pretty good
As for the worst-Larry King-king of the ass-kissers is in a field by
himself-he is the most pretentious fucking moron on the air today and
no one comes close to being as much of a suck-up as him.

Mainly because the people who actually take the time to call into Howard Stern
usually deserve to be yelled at. They are usually completly brain dead or they simply
get on the phone and conintue yelling nonsense until Stern finally decides to hang
up on them. No one looks at Stern as a commentator on any matter of true seriousness
he is just there for pure entertainment. He pretty much knows this also except for a
few instances where he will attempt to pass himself off a social commentator.
As much as I enjoy the show I always laugh at how he continuously tells everyone
about how proffessional he is in his radio programs. He has the worst format
in the market today. Taking commercials when he feels like it, eating on the air,
the rattle of cards in the background, and so on.

He argues a lot. Sometimes his arrogance gets the best of him. If he
hangs up, it's usually because he lacks the radio experience to go to
commercials smoothly. He's not a professional broadcaster, for sure.
It's an excellent show, representing viewpoints all-too-rare on talk radio.

>Time to vote in the first Annual Worst Syndicated Talk Show Host
>awards.
Gotta be Michael Reagan. I strongly disagree with his politics - but
that's not why I think he's the worst (I disagree with Rush, too - but
he does a good show).
First of all, he doesn't have a clue about what makes interesting
radio. If I hear him say, "The reality of it is..." one more time, I
may have to visit my local pawnshop to buy an Uzi - if I haven't
already made the trip after hearing him give out more bill numbers!
Secondly, I believe he is irresponsible. Here is an example: An
elderly woman called to say that she had heard somewhere that American
federal judges are now being paid by the World Bank, and therefore had
no jurisdiction. [I'd love to know who was spreading THAT around!]
She asked if she had heard this on Reagan's show. He said no, but
that he would "look into it" for her. This is an OBVIOUS piece of bad
information - and a responsible host would have said so on the air,
instead of giving it credence by promising to investigate it.
I love Talk Radio, but incidents like that one point out its greatest
failing: allowing uninformed people to state unsupported facts on the
air. It doesn't bother me when uninformed persons state their
opinions on the air (that's what it's all about, after all) but I wish
hosts like Reagan did a better job of controlling their shows, so that
nutcases like that woman don't get a forum to spread that kind of
hogwash.

Thats the difference between an entertaining show and an informative show.
I enjoy the show because it gives me a couple of hours of raw infromation
to digest and mull over. Then I can double check on the things that concern
me and come to my own conclusions. Plus the elevator music can be kind
of relaxing on the way home :)

That is his standard reply to people who call up with strange conspiracy
theories. That way they go away satisfied and don't go nutty on him and
call in again calling him a globalist or something. It does not take too
much observation to realize he is not taking the call serious at all.

Thats what talk radio is all about. People call in and say stuff that they
believe on the air. If someone is dumb enough to believe everything that comes
across the radio then that is their problem. Same goes for people who believe
everything they read in the paper.

Hey, guess what! Federal judges are now getting paid by the World Bank,
and don't have any jurisdiction any more! Has to be true - it was on
the radio.

Are you sure Bernie Ward is syndicated? I find little information
about him on the web, other than that he is on KGO...
By the way, here is an interesting resource on the web:

Bernie Ward (no relation ;) has a national show distributed weekends by the
ABC Radio Network... it's the old slot that was owned by Jim Hightower until
last Fall. I believe the live clearance on it is 10 AM-1 PM PT Saturday and
Sunday.
He also continues to do his weeknight KGO/San Francisco show (7-10 PM) and
also his "GodTalk" show on KGO (Sun. 6-9 AM).
Mike, again, no relation to Bernie, though I occasionally get his mail at his
old haunt, KFBK/Sacramento

Yes, Bernie Ward is syndicated. His show is on ABC radio stations
nationally Saturdays and Sundays 10 to 1 West Coast Time
Where Hightower was, Bernie is. Call your local affiliate to find out if
he is available in your area.

As opposed to Rush Limbaugh, Art Bell, etc.? Are they real?

A friend of mine asked me a question about a particular topic about the Civil
War which I am noit familiar with. I told him I would look into it. "Looking
into" something does not give credence to it.

Michael Reagan has the least of these problems. This is a cross post to a Tom
Leykis group - which he lets his callers come on and make outrageous comments
and he just says thank you afterwards, and when some disagrees with his
politics, he tries to get off topic and away from what the caller wishes to
talk about. Michael Reagan hasn;t done that.
>nutcases like that woman don't get a forum to spread that kind of

And some talk shows like Tom Leykis' let callers spread hogwash that
Republicans are going to throw people into the streets. Even Tom Leykis
himself spreads hogwash that Republicans are anti-semetic.

That is because your comphrehansion is limited and you believe the two are
connected and do not know what he means when he says he is "assuming."
Like what things have you heard were outrageous - and please try to separate
them from learning things that "upset" you.
Aren;t you that blind lady?

Among the many outrageous things that I have heard him say was once
while he was explaining what filthy sub-animal scum these teen welfare
mothers are, and he said "...they don't even clean themselves up after
menstruation!..." I think this is quite a claim. It raises a couple of
questions such as: None of them at all do? And most thought provocative of
all: How does he know? Is he perhaps generalizing because of a bad
experience he had once?
You don't have to listen to too much Ken Hamblin to hear such shit. If
he is'nt the worst, he's right down there.
