Tammy Bruce Does Not Speak For Me!!
http://mediamatters.org/items/200506060009

Oh great! Another "so-called" Democrat bashing Democrats on Faux News. I had never heard of this "woman" until I happened to hear she was going to be at the 2005 Talkfest in Norfolk with the likes of Hannity. I guess she has a radio program, where literally "dozens" of people across the country agree with her. All I need to know about her is in this MMFA article and the fact that she is on the same radio station in Norfolk as Laura Ingraham, "Dr." Laura, and Michael Savage.

Give me an "effing" break. Let's see if we can play her little game for a while. Here's some of mine:

"I'm a straight, heterosexual, white active duty military member Republican, and I think having Republicans in Washington write the budget is like giving Anna Nicole Smith an American Express Card on Rodeo Dr."

"I'm a gay, liberal, gun-toting, boarder security Republican, and having Tammy Bruce on Faux News claiming to be a Democrat is like having Richard Nixon in charge of Homeland Security"

"I'm a white supremacist Republican, and electing * is like tying a cinder-block to your nuts and throwing it off the Empire State Building".

<snip>

From the MMFA Article:

From the June 6 edition of Fox News Live:

BRIGITTE QUINN (anchor): Tammy, does it resonate with the base? A strategist for John Kerry made the point that he seems to be trying this class warfare strategy again, and this strategist for the John Kerry campaign says "that doesn't tend to work for us."

BRUCE: Well, it doesn't. Putting Howard Dean in charge of the Democratic Party is like putting O.J. Simpson in charge of a battered women's shelter.

During the segment, Bruce repeatedly identified herself as a Democrat; claimed that people like her made up the Democratic base; claimed that a Republican in the White House is evidence that Dean does not resonate with Democrats; and suggested that Democrats will not win "those red states" with Dean as DNC chairman. Bruce herself supported George W. Bush in 2004, and encouraged other Democrats to do the same.

:wtf:

1. Don't touch FOX News.
You don't know where it's been.

3. In Faux World
Tammy Bruce and Zell Miller are normal Democrats, O'Really is an independent, Alan Colmes is a diehard liberal, and Angst Coulter is a mainstream conservative.

Need I say more? ;)

5. Can I Say Without Getting it Pulled
that "She's just another "attention whore" sucking at the cock of Clear Channel."

Jebus effing Christ! I can stream Air America Radio on my PC, but here's my Nazi Radio Line-up in Va Beach VA. Can't even get a traffic report without hearing about how despicable "we" Democrats are.

Two major talk radio stations in town:

Here's one line-up:

0600-0900: Local Wing-nut Bill Cunningham
0900-1200: Neal Boortz
1200-1500: Rush Limbaugh
1500-1800: Sean Hannity
1800-1900: Bill O'Reily

Here's the other line-up:

0600-1000: Imus in the Morning (barely tollerable)
1000-1200: Laura Ingraham
1200-1500: Tammy Bruce
1500-1700: Dr Laura

Out-effing-standing isn't it?!!!

7. Here In Philly
We only get Al Franken and Randi Rhodes on a very small station that apparently fears power lines. Other than that it's stream when you can. Sad.

Our main talk station is the same as your first example, except we may get local blabbermonkey Mike Smerconish in the Boortz spot, I try and avoid the station altogether when my Psillies aren't on.

It's a joke. If they gave AAR or Democracy radio a real station here they'd blast these cretins in the ratings. But that would mean fairness and equal time.

Heaven Forbid! lol

6. You should get a load of her book...
..."The Death of Right and Wrong."

Typical rightwing wallowing in the most lurid, depraved stories she can find about sex offenders and the like in order to get "the little people" to stop thinking about "the big picture" and just stoke them into powerless, undirected emotion and outrage so they are easier to divert, manipulate, and control.

8. The more negative crap in the press about Dean..
the more I love that man. If you haven't heard him up close & personal, then you don't have the full effect of just what he is saying about our country. Don't trust the media to give you the full picture, as evidenced by this Tammy Bruce & her interview. What crap!

9. I have attempted to listen to her on Sirius Right...
Yech..... She claims to be a Demo Lesbian but fights anything progressive. She sounds like Coulter in her ranting and I had to turn the channel in disgust. I actually sent her an email because she was wrong in everything she said the 15 minutes I listened. I never got a response. It is all about hate and lies.:puke:

10. They spend a lot of wind denying the existence of "Class Warfare"...
....Don't they?
"Oh, there's no such thing as 'Class Warfare'. No 'War', we're just quietly forcing you people into servitude without firing a shot. Now shine my shoes and scrub my toilet, Boy..."
