Someone opposed to the death penalty.
Someone from the lbgt community.
Someone whose opinion might upset the whole "God and Country" theme.
Please, prove me wrong. I'm begging you.

Lesbian-Bi-Gay-Transgendered. (Actually, it's LGBT, but the letters are translated above.)

No need to respond... we. are. neo. con. robots. god. and. country. beep. beep. beep.
Your problem is not with us it is with talk radio in general, you do not like the conservative slant you see. Guess what, it is there and there is no attempt to hide it. Your implication that we are towing some imaginary line you are trying to draw with Crawford Broadcasting is silly.

Don't put words in my mouth, I like Crawford Broadcasting.
I'm challenging you to expand your vocabulary beyond every other neocon fundie talk show on earth.

Lesbian-Bi-Gay-Transgendered.... Well if you ever do have one of them on, please explain how is it possible to have all of those things in one person? And try not to fight over which one of you two gets to have this guest sit in your lap... LOL!
(Still trying to figure out where the heck you would start when "feeling up" a person like that...)

re: Phinehas... "LOL. Isn't genitalia in the same area for both sexes?" If everything is working out okay it is... Maybe even occupying the same space... heh, heh...
I actually meant foreplay... But as we are guys, I'm sure we are both aware of how uneeded that foolishness is... LOL

Well, I meant someone to act as a representative for lbgt people. Someone from "Act Up" or some such. As far as where to start, I can't help you, I've never been in that situation.

tragic- You >DO< know what a "neocon" is, right? Honestly? Probably not. I tend to lump "neocon" in with Religious Right, Fundamentalist, and so on. One of my favorite made-up words is "FundieCon," someone who insists the state support all of their Fundamentalist mores.

This is funny...
Tragic thinks we're walking the "neocon fundie" line while others suggest we're spreading a "yankee, liberal agenda."
Proof positive you can't please everyone. Which is why I don't try. If you listen to the show, you should know by now that we speak for us. Not what others want or expect us to be.

So by "speaking for yourself" you can call anyone different derogatory names, like "wierdo," without having to bother educating yourself or your audience?
How, sir, is your show different from Savage or Rush (aside from Arbitron numbers), or from every other talk show on the air right now?
This is your chance to be different.
You;re blowing it.

Honestly, you try entirely too hard to be "politically correct" and it's just damned annoying.
You want them to toe the line by treating everyone like kittens but you DONT want them to toe the line and to bring you more hard hitting whatever the hell you are asking for?
You sir, are a contradiction in terms.

I know you do not want to hear about Panama City, but our "numbers" were better than both Savage and Rush, but it is not a fair comaprisson. A better way to try and slam us as chumps would have been to say "How, sir, is your show different from Savage or Rush ( aside from paychecks), or from every other talk show on the air right now?" What do you want us to do? Not be ourselves? Just to fit into what you want us to be. Guess what tragicpizza, life is not fair and sometimes we won't be either. The Dale you hear on the show is the Dale you will see if you run into me in a restaurant or bar, and your probably wouldn't like me then either. That is life. Now I ask you this, how would you program our show for us? Better yet how would you program a talk station?

I can't speak for Dale, but I don't want to be "different" just for the sake of being so. I want to be me. And what you hear is who I am. Take it or leave it. We weren't brought here to be "different". We were brought here because what we did elsewhere worked, and people (for the most part) enjoyed what they heard.
As for the Rush comparison...Thank you for the laugh. I personally believe he is an apologist for the Republican party and the Bush administration. Day in and day out. The few times we've talked about the Bush administration on the Attack Machine, I doubt you heard me say very many positive things. Then again, people do have selective hearing.
If you want a show where you can focus on things you are interested in (the LGBT group, for example) get your own show. And promote the hell out of that interview. That way I'll know when to make plans to do something else.

Let's see... if I were to be a Virtual Producer that you took as seriously as the people who always agree with your choices, how would I program your show...
First, calling people "wierdos" in any situation other than one in which they can defend themselves would be off the table. That would take care of the whole lgbt thing.
Second, regular roundtable discussions about hot-topic issues like the death penalty, domed stadium, and so on. Both sides would be represented, and the listeners would be expected to have the intelligence to form their own opinions.
How's that for starters?

Well, that is a non-starter, if I feel they are wierdos, I will say so. I know this bothers you. Tough. Honestly tragicpizza if you can not make the judgement call that a 12 year old transexual is not normal and by definition is wierd then I have no clue what to tell you. Sounds like NPR(zzzzzzzzzzz) and something that is impossible to set up on the local level, plus show me a LGBT group that wants to come on and talk about their groups and I will let them in.

Once again, it has nothing to do with what I think, and everything to do with not denigrating and objectifying people by calling them names, especially when said people are not able to defend themselves. Please try to understand that point. I have no idea why you think this would be (a) boring, or (b) impossible. Both sides in a lively debate is anything but boring. Maybe you should try it sometime. And as far as "impossible," there are a wide variety of people and orgainzations in the Birmingham area, all eager for airtime and not afraid of a fight. I honestly don't see the problem.

How about how your sentiment above coresponds to the below:
"I tend to lump "neocon" in with Religious Right, Fundamentalist, and so on. One of my favorite made-up words is "FundieCon," someone who insists the state support all of their Fundamentalist mores." - tragicpizza
It seems that you label people as well.

Of course I label people, and when I use that label, it's in situations where people can respond, like on message boards.
