Lee Rodgers let go
spamtrap1888
I'm sure I was listening to him in Chicago 50 years ago.
I wonder if he's going to hang up his headphones.
spamtrap1888
Whoops! 40 years ago.
Lee first went on the air in 1959.
spamtrap1888
From Billboard, Nov 30, 1968, (on Google Books) we see Lee presenting
Don Ho a plaque for "Tiny Bubbles." Lee broke the single in Chicago.
Also on that page is a two-paragraph squib under the headline "Proof
Radio Is Far From Dead." They could keep that headline permanently set
up in type, I suppose.

I rarely listen to KSFO, but in those few times I have, it just
seems to me that Brian Sussman is not a nice man.
When he was a weather caster, I actually thought he came across as a
fairly nice guy.
Then you hear all this mean stuff flowing forth from him. I thought
it was all a act, but it seems to be his true personality.
Put it this way, in a strange way someone like Michael Savage seems
like a much more personable guy to share a beer with than Sussman. At
least his mean streak is much more straight forward.
Sussman, on the other hand, always seems to me like some evil
Christian type who is trying to appear moral while being filled with
mean thoughts.
Or is that all a act?
Bob Gowa
Lee's voice will live on at the top of every minute on WWV...
leansto...@democrat.com
I have to admit that is pretty shocking news. I bet if he stayed at
KGO, he would have still been on the air.
Sussman always looked drunk when he was on TV.

Conservative activist Melanie Morgan – whose layoff from her long-
running stint on KSFO talk radio was first reported here back in 2008
– reports today that her former co-host, morning show host Lee
Rodgers, is now done, too.
Indeed, KSFO Programming Vice President Jack Swanson has a statement
up on the station’s Web site welcoming Brian Sussman to the morning
host’s chair in what he calls ” a very natural transition.”
"Although a lot of listeners were unaware, Lee had actually moved to
Arizona many years ago and was broadcasting from his home,” Swanson
wrote. “He later cut back his work schedule to only 4 days a week,
which created the opportunity for Brian to become part of the show. We
are grateful to Lee for his many contributions, and wish him many
happy years in Arizona."
Rodgers’ conservative diatribes often made him a target of liberal
watchdog groups such as Media Matters.

Translation: Lee Rodgers is tanking and Brian Sussman, while not tanking, at
least has a younger audience.
And Melanie Morgan has cancer. Talk about karma coming around and biting you
in the ass...remember when she called for the assassination of Nancy Pelosi?
How does it feel for Mel to be at death's door?

Like his and Melanie Morgan's statement in 2007 that
George Soros, a Jew, had been a collabarator
of the Nazis in his native Hungary during World War II.
People who make statements like this should be run
out of radio on the first occurrence. When their
management apologizes for these two, they should
apologize for hiring them in the first place.
AM talk radio is for kooks. Period. A liberal progressive
trying to do what a kook does is like Nixon saying that
he's not a crook.

Well, if youngsters who merely belonged to Hitler Youth, but did
nothing else vis a vis the Nazis, can be called Nazis, then Soros was
a collaborator. At 14 he worked with the cowardly Jewish group who
aided the Nazis in sending Jews to their extermination camps...That's
close enough for me.

Um... Since the whole purpose of WWV is to convey accurate time, and
streaming audio must be buffered, what would be the purpose of streaming
WWV anyway? If you have an Internet connection you have NTP.

No. I do remember, however, how Melanie used a figure of speech and

assassination.

Hmmm. Based on your statement right there, and your karma belief, I

I had hoped we had sufficiently thrashed that out. For example, if I

I don't think karma works in that fashion. A friend's dog has cancer.
As far as I know she has never barked for the assassination of anyone.

So many right wing talkers feel they have to work themselves up into a
frenzy of, well maybe hate is too strong a word. DXing I had to shut
off the lovable Tim Conway, Jr., as he went into right-wing rant mode
on his KFI show. And I know it's Mark Levin when I hear one long whine.
Jim
Actually, kook, he informed people marked for deportation
that they were in danger. The occupiers had reasoned that
Jewish children were the only people connected with the
community they could trust to carry out their task, but
with him they got it wrong. And survivors of the Jewish
Council have confirmed his account.
Jim
The pope was in Hitler Youth. Jews were not.
Most Jews won't even stick around when the
subject turns to Hitler because (a) it is
stressful to learn new bad things about people
you didn't previously consider kooks, (b) one
learns from experience that the mention
of his name is the first stage in baiting.
That's here and now, but it might give
you some sense of how Jews felt during
the war, when the prospect of some day
being accused of collaboration by a
know-nothing like Melanie Morgan
would seem ludicrous.

I guess you'll have to ask Ted Kennedy.
Perhaps you know what part of his karma caused the brain tumor, or
was it some kind of delayed karma from Chappaquiddick?

I have never wished ill on anyone, not even Melanie Morgan, who I'm told is
very nice to her friends. At least that's something.
I simply feel sorry for her and others like her, who have such a cavailier
attitude toward life and have such hatred for others that they wish ill on
them. Maybe it has to do with being way too close to death of loved ones that
I could never say anything as hurtful as Melanie Morgan said about Nancy
Pelosi.
David Kaye

"We have a bulls-eye painted on her back" is not a figure of speech. It's an
incitement to action. Melanie Morgan knows that. She's extremely bright.
She picked her words carefully to get the fullest effect and to incite someone
to do harm to Pelosi.
Morgan owes Pelosi and us an apology, not a "I'm sorry IF you took offense"
but an "I'm sorry THAT I said something really stupid and I vow never to do it
again."
She has never done that. As I understand it, Morgan's cancer is a very tough
one to fight and that she may not make it. Again, I feel sorry for her that
she's managed to put herself in such a bad position by wishing ill on others.
David Kaye
>Perhaps you know what part of his karma caused the brain tumor, or

Maybe. But, to be honest, I really don't know much about Ted Kennedy, nor did
I care to.
Ciccio

Actually, kook, he was following Nazi orders like many cowardly Jews,
to save his own skin[literally]. He most certainly aided the
confiscation of the property of Jews. Then his papa learned of it and
countermanded the Nazi's orders. Of course, papa, then whisked him out
of harm's way. It's not like he remained behind in some resistance
effort. Of course, later in life he rationalized it by saying of his
cowardly deeds, that if he hadn't done it, somebody else would have...
So, the comments by Rodgers and Morgan weren't far off the mark.

Oh well, he got to live and he's made it clear that he has no pangs of

Lee Rogers is an ignorant liar and I'm now surprised he
got fired. Sometimes when I listen to KSFO I make the mistake of
leaving it on all night so I wake up and hear Lee Rogers calling
Obama all sorts of names and yammering about liberal this and
liberal that. Yet what was missing was I don't remember hearing
him take calls from those who disagree with him. From what I
heard it was just monologue for his whole show. What makes a
show good in my opinion is if the host has something interesting
to say or if he has callers that do. Rogers had neither.

Wow this is pretty harsh. I don't agree with a lot of
folk on political and other issues but the last thing I would do
is wish any illness or harm on them. It seems the political
landscape is inundated with vitriol these days. Seems mostly
from the right though. It's not enough to disagree with someone
or beat them in an election, they want to see the person dead
and their body dragged through the streets. Just the other day
some politician wanted her opponent lynched. I do believe all
those hateful feelings can come back on you.

You know I could say some of the things about the late
Paul Harvey. He said a lot worse than calling for someone's
assassination. Harvey was an advocate of killing women and

want to be Rush Limbaugh right now.

People like to listen to talkshow hosts who echo their own views. They like
confirmation of their opinions. There are very few of us who listen to a
spectrum of opinion because most people don't like to have their religion
shaken -- and political viewpoints are religion to a lot of people.

She claimed that she was once a liberal and that she became a rightwinger (or
in her words, "libertarian") after being influeced by Lee Rodgers. Her views
(as I remember them anyway; it's been a long time since I've listened to her)
were very consistent, so there is no reason not to believe that she actually
believes what she's saying.
But that's not even the point. She is extremely bright and well aware of
radio's ability to influence thought -- commercial radio wouldn't exist if it
couldn't influence thought. It is her lucky break that some nutcase didn't
come out and shoot Nancy Pelosi.

Oh pulllease...If some whacko would have done that no way Melanie's
statement would have been a substantial factor. The fact that millions
have heard it and NOBODY has even thrown a water balloon at Pelosi
shows that.
OH, and how about you and many others who repeated it...If it was so

have missed it until you repeated it. Damn, how reckless of you! You

He didn't leave any ideological footprints (blogs, comments,
demonstrations, etc.) other than perhaps being a tax protestor way
back when, as far as I can tell.

As so-called LEADERS of these United States they shouldn't have even
come close to doing such. Though they both can easily be described as
clowns, that isn't in their job descriptions. Well, then again, they
are also leaders of the democratic party.

Why, of course, they were sorry thay they were exposed for being

Of course not, he is NOT an elected official. He is a talk show
entertainer/satirist.
> Rush just can't admit he's wrong I guess.
He's not wrong. He's doing his job as a talk show host/satirist to
obtain a large audience, and is doing it well, at that. Like Ray T, I
often find Rush monotonous. At, times, however, like Ray T, I find him

Hmmmm. Scathing commentary about: Corporate bail outs, politicians,
General Motors, Enron and Arthur Andersen, health care insurance
companies, the Catholic Church, Regan's Tax Reform Act, airline
bailouts.George Bush and his administration. Then the poor widow who
the big bad corporation ripped off.
Of course, all those are issues are ripe for debate, but then...
His so-called manifesto ends with: "The communist creed: From each
according to his ability, to each according to his need. The

Rush Limbaugh is wrong on a great many issues. Sometimes
when he states facts and figures and quotes people, it is
factually wrong. It's factually wrong often too.

Someone being good at keeping a huge audience does not

has a huge audience in your book right?
