Bill O'Reilly Jumping on That Speeding Freight Train Named Chris Christie

I used to watch Howie regularly on CNN--never wanted to miss the show--and now it is sad to me to see him forced into agreeing with you know who, Bill O'Reilly.  Once in a great while it seems like he is sharing his opinion of what is happening on the news but more often than not Mr. O bullies him down.  He is almost forced to repeat Bill's thoughts and then smile about it.  I don't want Howie just agreeing all the time.

Has anyone else thought Bill O'Reilly is changing to meet Chris Christie somewhere in the middle.

He suggested Phil Robertson was too judgemental in the recent DD fiasco.

Is Bill trying to distance himself from the whackadoodles for survival.

Do you think he gets tips running around on the bolder and fresher tour from the big money "folks" he is looking out for--he is the only one doing that.  500 big one for the meet and greet here in San Diego.
Is he worried about his own survival, the show's survival, his position in the republican party and the survival of the republican party.

Is this due to the fact that the big money folks are indicating they are ready to get behind Chris Christie--the only sane repub ready to hit a grand slam for the party in the big election coming up.

Just an idea but I do not think the tea party can survive the big one and it seems like Mr. O does have that political foresight.

Will he do anything to have the gov, Christie on his show and to share his attention?

He was quiet in order to have Sarah Palin on the show.

Unless Jeb Bush jumps in to save the country from us dems.

Well, what do you think?


Here is Erik Wemple talking about Howie in the Washington Post:

KOGO 600's chip franklin's Seat Belt Rant Proves Again I Q is Not a Prerequisite for Shock Jock.

Hey--Is that guy chip franklin weird or what?

KOGO 600 of San Diego proved this morning at 7:30 that intellectual discrimination is not a prerequisite for being a shock-jock. The man is a bit of an odd beast, isn't he?

 He went on again, endlessly--he likes seat belts and he is in favor of them but he does not want a government ruling about it. Wow, chip--even when the firefighter came on and tried to tell you the facts--you laughed in his face.

 I do believe it is a conclusion now that seat belts save lives. Really, chip are you that challenged or are we and you're just making a show?

You go on forever about talking on the phone while you drive, not wearing a seat belt while driving to the gym. Do children hear you--do teens hear you--could they follow your suggestion?

Isn't is a given now that unrestrained passengers fly in the car when there is an accident. Isn't that why we have child safety laws about children and car seats and seat belts in general.

 The laws are good--why? Because there are plenty of kids, people, older people who do not think, or are in a rush, or are busy. Clicking the seat belt should not be a decision every time we get into the car--it should be automatic. It saves lives. 

There are plenty of unrestrained driver's ejected from the car in an accident. People are less injured now in car crashes due to technology and laws and better seat belts. chip said he will sign papers so the emergency worker , given he was in a crash, would not have to be responsible for taking him to a hospital--to cost taxpayers, or insurance or hospitals money because he refused to wear his seatbelt. Really, chip, because I don't think the EMTs usually start digging through paperwork before they start saving someone's life.

Who is the grand pooh-pah at KOGO that lets this egomaniac rant? Is that you, Cliff? Wow, a rant at the expense of the citizen's safety. Not even those girls on the show could stops those words out of the bald headed mouth!

Bill Maher Continues to Embarrass Fellow Dems

“Democratic Ball and Chain Bill Maher Should Apologize to Sarah Palin and Dr. Drew Should Stop Drinking The Kool-Aide



Bill Maher continues to embarrass fellow dems....referring to his recent blog in the Huff Post on Akin.


Bill does not speak for me as a dem.  In the first place I am capable of forming my own opinion of Sarah Palin, or other repubs, based on what they say--no profanity has to be thrown in for his own aggrandizement.  Certainly, if he is such a gifted comedian he can find other more innovative and descriptive words to demonstrate his disagreement with the opposite party.


As soon as he uses a sexual slur--then he puts the other person in an awkward position--what shall their equal yet clever response be?  That is the first thing women bashers do- to make a negative sexual comment.  There is no response.  I can't use a word like that back to him, nor would I.  The point is immediately lost and all the focus is on Bill and his supposed cleverness.

I hope is is not a prerequisite to be a member of the democratic party to find Bill Maher amusing.  He is not my cup of tea and his words are way too bold and the point is lost.  I am for women speaking and then I will make my decision to vote for President Obama again and go to the polls.


President Obama has come way to far in his support for women and healthcare , particularly when he spoke against Rush Limbaugh, to have a self-promoter like Bill Maher mess things up.


Bill also does not speak for me about spirituality and religion.  I find his comments offensive in that area, as well.  He does not speak for me as a democrat about religion.

My prediction is that it's just a matter of time before we have to suffer another "controversial" episode by Bill Maher. His big money donation was just a thin veil for self-promotion. His comments are offensive to women. He is a ball and chain for the dems. Then, as if this is news, what he said will have to be discussed again, because he gave the money.

His mom needs to speak to him, or some mom, let it be me--because he is out of line and he does need to apologize to Sarah Palin. He is particularly annoying because he tried to cover his remark with humor and get everyone to laugh with him like it was okay because it was funny. Then he went on Dr. Drew and bragged about being a "potty mouth." Talk about drinking the kool-aid; I'm still disappointed with Dr. Drew because many young people look to him for guidance--he can set the example for how to think with a certain group of people.

I do not agree with Sarah Palin politically. I admire her interest in politics. To me she is a strong women and a good mom--I want to hear what she has to say even though I will not vote for her. I like the political conversation and I think it moves things forward.”

Obama 2012.....Dick Morris--not so much.

Dick don't be a hater.

President Obama has spoken against rush limbaugh on women's rights.  Health care is something he wants for every citizen of the United States.  The repubs are going to have to act fast if healthcare is over turned and the 26 year olds have no insurance.  President Obama has come out in favor of gay marriage.  He helped boost the car companies and boost the economy.  He has shown moral leadership in asking for equal rights for everyone.  He sets the example and sets the tone.

As far as his speeches:  not only is he funny--he's cute, too.  Talking about the "red sox" speech.

Obama 2012....Dick Morris--not so much.

...In answer to Dick Morris constantly bashing President Obama.

chip franklin--YOU'RE TALKING OUT OF YOUR ASS!

chip franklin--YOU'RE TALKING OUT OF YOUR ASS!

Yes, that's what the caller said to chip franklin this morning around the 7:30 hour.   She laid chip out bad......and of course chip panicked...first--he started shouting, then he tried to be condescending and call her "honey" and say she did not know what she was talking about (of course she did)......then he cut her off in frustration.   No, that was only the first verbal knife chip suffered  today...the second lady also tried to inform chip he did not know what he was talking about...deriding the Paradise Hills school district and the teacher's union.   He tried to say Paradise Hills was a challenged area and the citizens did not like it. 

Oh, that chip, that crazy, crazy host of KOGO 600, that unleashed shock jock of San Diego radio, trying to be so bold with his subject matter, yet when a lady comes on and gives him a piece of their mind he becomes quite undone.  He cut the second lady off, too.  Did he listen to a word of what she said?  I'm afraid not!

If this guy is representing the conservative movement and the Tea Party in San Diego I am feeling pretty good about a second term for President Obama.  I wonder if these things will be erased from the podcast as some of his other outrageous statements have been in the past.

To me, it seems like chip really hates women when he can't force them into agreement.  I think Fran Drescher made her point the best when she tried to explain the need for an equal rights amendment for women.  chip was not having it, the only problem was he could not get a word in edgewise on "the nanny."  chip was beat bad and he couldn't cut her off. 

Oh chip, maybe you should pick a better subject matter, one that isn't so near and dear to your heart at such an early hour of the morning.  One where you don't have to take it so personal when the girls win.

Some Bullies Grow Up To Be Bullies--Chip Franklin

Some Bullies Grow up to be Bullies---this is copied from the Smirking Chimp---cl

by Brent Abrahamson | May 13, 2012 - 9:43am 


We have all heard the story by now. According to an article in The Washington Post, "Mitt Romney’s prep school classmates recall pranks, but also troubling incidents," then high school student Mitt Romney led an attack on a student who didn't look the way Romney felt that he should. The weaker student was perceived to be gay, and Mitt Romney didn't like the way the bleached blond new student, John Lauber, wore his hair. Romney took it upon himself to lead a group of boys to attack Lauber and hold him down while Mitt Romney cut the boy's hair.
The attack against the story by the right has been swift. Those who profess to believe the story dismiss it as a boys-will-be-boys prank. After all, who hasn't done things in high school that they later regret? Perhaps. But how do you even years later not even remember the incident? Bullied people remember such incidents all of their lives. Bullies, if the explanation is to be believed, have no such problem.


As I was considering this episode, I recalled an incident depicted in the 1985 movie, The Breakfast Club. A number of students were placed on Saturday detention for various infractions of school rules. At one point in the movie, all the students confess to one another what they did to earn a detention. Andrew Clark, played by actor Emilio Estevez, makes this confession:
Andrew: I taped Larry Lester's buns together.
Brian Johnson: That was you?
Andrew: Yeah, you know him?
Brian Johnson: Yeah, I know him.
Andrew: Well, then you know how hairy he is. And when they pulled the tape off, most of his hair came off and some - some skin, too.
Claire Standish: Oh my God.
Andrew: And the bizarre thing is that I did it for my old man. I tortured this poor kid because I wanted him to think that I was cool. He's always going off about how when he was in school and all the wild things he used to do. And I got the feeling that he was disappointed that I never cut loose on anyone, right? So I'm sitting in the locker room and I'm taping up my knee, and Larry's undressing a couple lockers down from me. And he's kinda, he's kinda skinny. Weak. And I started thinkin' about my father, and his attitude about, about weakness. And the next thing I knew, I jumped on top of him and started wailing on him. And my friends, they just laughed and cheered me on. And afterwards, when I'm sitting in Vernon's office, all I could think about was Larry's father and Larry having to go home and explain what happened to him. And the humiliation - the fucking humiliation he must have felt. It must have been unreal. I mean, how... how do you apologize for something like that? There's no way. It's all because of me and my old man. God, I fucking hate him. He's like this mindless machine that I can't even relate to anymore.
[crying, imitating his father]
Andrew: 'Andrew! You've got to be number one! I won't tolerate any losers in this family! Your intensity is for shit! Win! Win! Win!' You son of a bitch. You know, sometimes I wish my knee would give. And I wouldn't be able to wrestle anymore. And he could forget all about me.
I believe that this exchange does give us some insight into the mind of the bully. What motivates him? Can a repentant bully have remorse?
We can't know what happened later as Andrew Clark grew up. Did he revert to bullying? Did he ever forget this incident?
What we do know is Mitt Romney, the high school boy, as a man. And his statements reveal that he grew into being an adult bully.
Who but an unrepentant bully could claim to have forgotten such a cruel act?
What kind of adult straps his dog to the roof of a car?
What kind of adult claims he likes to fire people?
What kind of adult says he is not concerned about poor people?
What kind of adult wants to amend the U. S. Constitution to restrict the Civil Rights of a segment of our population?
The fact is that some teenaged bullies grow up to become adult bullies.
As a retired middle school teacher, I have had the perspective of seeing both the teen bully and the adult bully. This is a subject I have written about several times, and lots of people seem to relate to this reality.
Mitt Romney, in my opinion, is an adult bully, not because of one act he did as a teen, but because of his actions and statements ever since.
Here is more that I have written about the adult bully.

You can decide for yourself if Mitt Romney is one or not.

In an odd and sick sort of

In an odd and sick sort of way, this is a story that will actually help Romney. There's no question the story is believable. Even those that will deny this story from the right believe it.
But in an unspoken kind of way, this will help Romney. This will help him with those on the right that criticize him most. Deep down and in their guts they'll appreciate this. Because these narrow-minded, Neanderthal fucks believe that everyone must live as they live, believe as they believe, and worship as they worship. And everyone must look and act a certain way.
And in their black hearts and even blacker souls, there will be a certain appreciation for this kind of behavior. It'll never be spoken in those terms of course. But this will give him bona fides in that despicable circle that he never could have bought with the unlimited largesse that will be at his disposal.
Beating up and humiliating those that are different is a badge of honor with these people. Their fear of everything and anything not of them demands it. It's perfectly fine. And now a lot of those people know that Romney is more like them than they ever imagined.

And That is How Bullies Are Made.......by Chloelouise

And that is why Rush Limbaugh is still on the air. We have our own Rush Limbaugh here in San Diego named Chip Franklin. He has often spoke against the Occupy group and feels they are useless and do not stand for anything--they should not exist. He has been very clear about his feelings and taken time on his show to humiliate Ray Lutz speaking for Occupy on more than one occasion. To say he goes after him with enthusiasm would be an understatement. He bragged on his show his son knocked down an Occupy member because he was blocking his way to class--like he could not go around. He did say he told his son not to knock people down yet the son reported his action to his dad and the dad bragged on the radio show. He even had the nerve to say my son is real big. Were all of the other rich, old white guys snickering? Well, the answer is yes because I have heard the chuckling at work and at the neighbor's dinner party on issues that were almost the same. And that is how bullies are made.

Shock-Jock, chip franklin Of Hate Radio KOGO 600 In San Diego Successfully Teaches Bashing And Bragging To His Son

Shock-jock, chip franklin of hate radio KOGO 600 in San Diego successfully teaches violence to his son.
     Well,  I thought kids were off limits,  but since you brought it up....since you brought it up and bragged about it on the radio then laughed.  Apparently his son ran into a person in the Occupy Movement who was blocking his way to class... the son could not find a way around the person...allegedly ...so he knocked him down.  Mr. Franklin did say he instructed his son not to go around knocking people down, yet he mentioned it on the radio in a proud, bragging fashion and then continued to laugh it off as if it was a humerus event.   "Oh, and my son is very big!"  Wow chip, my daughter is very small but she has a real big mouth--will he be knocking her down, too?  I will take this opportunity to remind chip after some people must have complained, maybe the time he wanted Gloria Alllred to be body slammed, he insisted no one but a moron would take him seriously.........  Now chip, what if that was me in the Occupy group, or what if that was one of my children?  Better yet, chip, what if that was one of your other children?  chip...I'm asking you...as a mom.  I know you love your children, It's obvious by the way you talk, but I love my children, too.  Please don't teach them to knock people around.   All of our children make errors and might get into a fight.  That young man was beaten to death on the bus in Florida--I'm so sad for those parents--chip, what if that was your son?  Let's stop that horrible kind of action.    Lets not promote a sentiment of violence among young people.  Its too sad in the long run.  I've told you, chip, so many times in my blog, let's not make violence or vigilante justice an acceptable way to solve our differences.   Are those your actual beliefs, then, if you are bragging and laughing about your son's actions on the air?  You are certainly not taking his violence seriously.  I guess your kid figured the Occupy kid was wrong--so rather than let the student talk or contemplate a different view, he knocked him down and proudly reported his remedy to dad.  Remember when you wanted the "ass-kicking" for the Asian lady, the politician in San Francisco who would not say the Pledge of Allegiance? 
    Now, lets see if this incident will be erased from the podcast, too.--

Democratic Ball and Chain Bill Maher Should Apologize to Sarah Palin

Democratic Ball and Chain Bill Maher Should Apologize to Sarah Palin and Dr. Drew Should Stop Drinking The Kool-Aide
My prediction is that it's just a matter of time before we have to suffer another "controversial" episode by Bill Maher. His big money donation was just a thin veil for his own self-promotion.

I do not agree with Sarah Palin politically, however, I enjoyed watching her on Fox News the other evening. I admire her strength in standing up for what she says and her interest in politics. To me she is a strong women and a good mom--I want to hear what she has to say even though I will not vote for her. I like the political conversation and I think it moves things forward.
