Today on The View, the gals were chatting about the election results last night, and Joy Behar got all up in arms about “Operation Chaos.” She’s furious about it and wonders “Why is Rush Limbaugh tampering with the democratic process?”

…because this IS the democratic process, you idiot!

You can watch the chat here.

Jiminy Christmas, folks… I could improve on this segment, but I implore you to listen to Rooney’s reasonings why a “drafted” Army would be far superior to a “volunteer” Army. This was from this morning’s “Imus” show. Andy Rooney is losing it, and we all know that Imus is a lost cause.

Rooney: Well, I think a draft produces a better Army than the one we’d have with all volunteers because I think you get average Americans if you have a draft. And if it’s an all-volunteer Army, you get people who join up because of some problem in their own lives. They don’t have anything else to do, they don’t have a job. They can’t find what they want to do, so they join the Army…and it doesn’t produce the best Army.

Huh? Average Americans? Don’t know what else they can do? Are you smoking crack, Andy? or are you just getting too damn old to give your stupid opinions.

Watch Rooney berate our volunteer troops here.

What an embarassment!

Folks, sometimes nobody can say it like Neal does. I can only share it with my readers who don’t get Neal in their markets. So, here’s what Neal has to say from Neal’s Nuze today:

TUESDAY WAS GOOD NEWS FOR …. WHO?

I notice that the newspaper and broadcast pundits are telling us who the winners and losers are in Tuesday’s startling elections. Well … I might as well get in the game here with everyone else.

The envelope please.

And the winners in this year’s midterm elections are:

Islamic Fascists

Accepting the award for the Islamic Fascists will be Osama bin Laden

The focal point of the war against Islamic fascism was Iraq. The jihadists were sending their fighters to Iraq, there to be killed in gratifying numbers by American and coalition troops. What was once American resolve is now American weakness. The people have listened to the politicians — one group that wanted to finish the job, another that didn’t — and gave the nod to the quitters. Today America is weaker in the eyes of those who would destroy us. Not a cause for celebration.

Slackards

Accepting the award will be Shirley Sternfaulter, a young mother of three who wants the government to pay for her child care.

A huge percentage of the people who went to the polls on Tuesday went there to vote for a living. They feel that the purpose of government is to make sure that the basic necessities of their lives are paid for, while they spend their own money on the newest technology in flat-screen televisions, gadget-filled cell phones and subscriptions to People Magazine.

Illegal Aliens

Putting down his leaf blower to accept the award is Pedro Lopez-Garcia-Menendez-Gonzalez, who pays no taxes in the U.S., and sends 80% of each paycheck back to Vera Cruz to take care of his wife and children.

Yesterday President Bush as much as said that amnesty would be the order of the day. Now that those pesky Republicans have been kicked out of the majority in the House of Representatives, the president and the Senate will have clear sailing on their plan for amnesty for the 20 million plus illegal aliens now residing in this country. Oh .. and the border? Nothing will be done to stop the Mexican invasion, so as soon as Pedro has his paperwork Maria and the kids will be on a bus.

Those who want a weaker America

Accepting the award will be Dominique Marie François René Galouzeau de Villepin, sometimes known as Dominique de Villepin, the Prime Minister of France. Dominique was the leader of the Axis of Weasels before he became Prime Minister.

A poll earlier this year said that something like 58% of Europeans wanted a weaker America. They got their wish on Tuesday. Who is going to be there to pull their candied asses out of the oven when they finally wake up and realize the great strides that have been made in the Islamification of Europe? Hello Eurabia.

The first blow to be struck in the weakening of America will be for the Democrats to get rid of John Bolton as the Ambassador to the United Nations. They’ll replace him with someone who will not stand up to UN corruption and the forces who want to weaken us.

The Libertarian Party?

I would be happy to accept this reward, but they don’t like me all that much because I believe that we need to defend this country from both the Islamic fascists and the Mexican invasion.

Tuesday’s vote showed that a lot of conservatives and libertarians in this country are completely fed up with the Republican Party. If ever there was a time for the emergence of a third party that would adhere to conservative and libertarian values — without an obsessive allegiance to religious fundamentalists — now is the time. The Libertarian Party could be just that party. We’ll see if they’re up to the task.

The leftist media.

Accepting the award for The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, The Boston Globe, Time Magazine, Newsweek Magazine and too many more to mention will be Dan Rather

Ninety percent or more of these people vote Democrat. They engaged in a six-year campaign of demonization of George Bush. It worked.

Washington Lawyers

Accepting the Award will be the President of the D.C. Bar Association

Get ready for two years of investigations, subpoenas, hearings…you name it. Everything will be investigated, then investigated again. But the Republicans did it to themselves…every last bit of it.

Sometimes the truth hurts, and you just have to get out the first aid kit. Please take heed folks, because Neal may be being facetious, but it’s not too far from the scary damn truth. Nobody seemed to vote like their life depended on it; we just need to move forward as though it does.

Gotcha, didn’t I? Well, sometimes you just gotta grab someone’s attention. Now that I’ve got it, I’m posting this for a very significant reason - no sane person can disagree with it. I’ve heard a couple of talk show hosts today read this, and have searched the internet to try and find the author so that I can give proper attribution, but I cannot find who wrote this.

By now you’ve all seen the Democrats’ campaign slogan: “A New Direction For America — Vote DEMOCRATIC!”

Let’s analyze this empty and misleading promise.

• The stock market is at a new all-time high and America’s 401K’s are back. A new direction from there means what??
• Unemployment is at 25-year lows. A new direction from there means what??
• Oil prices are plummeting. A new direction from there means what??
• Taxes are at 20-year lows. A new direction from there means what??
• Federal tax revenues are at all-time highs. A new direction from there means what??
• The Federal deficit is down almost 50%, just as predicted over last year. A new direction from there means what??
• Home valuations are up 200% over the past 3.5 years. A new direction from there means what??
• Inflation is in check, hovering at 20-year lows. A new direction from there means what??
• Not a single terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11/01. A new direction from there means what??
• Osama bin Laden is living under a rock in a dark cave, having not surfaced in years, if he’s alive at all, while 95% of Al Queda’s top dogs are either dead or in custody, cooperating with US Intel. A new direction from there means what??
• Several major terrorist attacks already thwarted by US and British Intel, including the recent planned attack involving 10 Jumbo Jets being exploded in mid-air over major US cities in order to celebrate the anniversary of the 9/11/01 attacks. A new direction from there means what??
• Just as Bush had planned and foretold us of on a number of occasions, Iraq was to be made “ground zero” for the war on terrorism — and just as Bush said they would, terrorist cells from all over the region are alighting the shadows of their hiding places and flooding into Iraq in order to get their faces blown off by US Marines rather than boarding planes and heading to the United States to wage war on us here. A new direction from there means what??

Moreover, bear in mind that all of the above occurred in the face of the 1999 tech crash, the epidemic of corporate scandals throughout the 90’s, and the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks on NYC years in the planning which collectively sucked 24 trillions dollars and 7.8 million jobs out of the US economy even before G. W. Bush had time to unpack his suitcases in the White House.

It’s easy for the Democrats to attempt to discredit, disgrace and defame our commander in chief, George W. Bush — that’s what they do. What’s not so easy for them to do is to refute irrefutable facts, no matter how they might try.

Do yourself and this country of ours a favor and don’t be a mindless sheep or a blind liberal lap dog, bent on hate and blame-shifting simply in the name of hate and blame-shifting. Take heed of reality, use your head and cast your vote wisely in the upcoming elections. The stakes are far too high today, as America’s very future, and yes, even its very survival is now at stake.

From what I have found on the internet, it’s just been making the email inbox rounds, but I hadn’t gotten it. Thank you, Neal Boortz, for reading this to your listeners this morning. I’ve displayed my favorite directional sign above especially for tomorrow. No left turns permitted here.

As I wrote about last night, Wild Bill and I have been in contact with Larry Wachs, who is part of the radio duo the Regular Guys. They used to be the morning drive-time DJs on 96Rock here in Atlanta, but seems like a sister station under the same corporate umbrella has a couple of weasels who work for them that were offended by Larry’s joking and teasing. In case nobody ever informed Yogi & Panda (no, I’m not kidding - the team on the Mexican station Viva 105.7 are called “Yogi & Panda”.. and yes, I said “Mexican” and not “Latino”), “shock jock” radio, especially drive-time, is full of insults that get hurled from show to show, personality to personality, all the time. Apparently Y&P didn’t like to be teased, and took it all the way up to station management and filed a civil lawsuit against the Regular Guys.

For more details about the background, see the Regular Guys’ website.

Today I got to interview Larry Wachs via email because at this point in time, he cannot speak out on the air (we invited him to call in to W.A.R.) about the situation due to legal issues. Here’s what he had to say:

1) When did the fallout with Yogi & Panda first begin, and what was the exact action that started it all?

To my knowledge it began in March of this year, when we invited them on our show to discuss the Latino protests that were taking place in Atlanta and around the US. They were unprepared and complained afterward, but company managers told them that they should not come on our show anymore if they didn’t want to look bad on air. They were also told Y&P on more than one occasion that our point of view and presentation was perfectly OK.

2) Did you ever have any indication they were taking personal offense to things you were saying or doing prior to the complaints?

No.

3) Have they ever done anything similar, or poked fun at you and/or Eric? If so, were you offended?

I don’t know, but other hosts have. It’s all part of the business we are in and it’s fair game. What’s lost on them is that we make comments about other hosts as well, and in a lot of cases, the amount of comments we make about other individual hosts are more than we make about Y&P.

4) Did you receive any warning other than the complaints that were going to management about you dishonoring their “culture?”

None. We were never told that what we were doing was out of bounds.

5) What are the listenership numbers for the Yogi & Panda show? If you don’t know, are they available with Arbitron?

They have pretty good numbers from what I understand and they do a good job of getting audience. Arbitron does have that information.

6) Do you feel there was a concerted effort by them to have their fans also complain to management? If so, do you feel they were taking advantage of the language barrier with most metro listeners to get away with saying things knowing a lot of people wouldn’t know what they were saying?

I don’t think so. The station had monitors and translators in place to deal with the usual issues of profanity and indecency. To my knowledge they didn’t talk about us, but I wouldn’t have cared if they did. It’s part of the business. If you can’t take criticism, you should find another line of work.

7) Have you been physically threatened by any of them or their fans, or do you think this is just a publicity stunt to shame the Regular Guys and stifle your free speech?

There have been no physical threats. I don’t think their listeners really were aware of what was happening until recently.

Do you think the PC Police in Management are erring on the side of caution due to fears of being labeled racist?

Perhaps.

9) Do you plan any counter-action once this is over? Or concurrently?

We are answering their claims and filing some of our own.

10) Do you feel this is just hint of things to come, i.e., the liberals’ “Fairness Doctrine?”

No.

11) Do you have any plans to take your show elsewhere should they succeed in getting your show permanently taken off the air? If so, where?

They have already succeeded in having us removed from Clear Channel. I plan to take the show elsewhere and get on with business.

12) Is there anything that fans of yours (and my readers) can do to help you out right now? Write letters, email, etc.?

Discussion of the case and the issues in the proper forum is always of great help. Of course, if you are a broadcaster with a need for great content and talent, I’d love to hear from you.

13) When will you be able to verbally speak out about this?

I’m not sure.

14) Have you looked into whether or not the Yogi & Panda duo have done this to other non-Latinos before?

No. I don’t think they have, but I do know they’ve had a suspension and content problems of their own in the past year or so.

So, folks, if any of you all know anyone in radio who’s looking for talent, Larry Wachs has a long successful record in many markets. Please drop me a line at MsUnderestimated@gmail.com if you know of anything that might be of interest to Larry, and I’ll pass it along. And please discuss this on your blog sites with your readers. The PC Police are taking over the airwaves.

And for those of you who didn’t see my previous post about it, the Regular Guys did an awesome interview with Wild Bill on the Foley non-issue. You can listen to that interview here.

Hey, Bill…. you ready for some more digging? Looks like we got another investigation on our hands.

Read Larry’s initial statement here from yesterday.

Beware the Beastman and Jake at FreedomFolks are on this, as well.

Folks, this is the lowest of the low. Wild Bill and myself were recently on Larry and Eric’s “Regular Guys” morning drive-time show at 96Rock about the IMs Foley with an adult page, Jordan Edmunds, and they were very fair to us. Larry and Eric are known to be conservative-leaning, and they have been suspended in the past by Clear Channel for a mishap on an audio segment that wound up going awry (a sex chat that was supposed to have played backwards, but by accident it didn’t. And they were fired). The Regular Guys are one of the, if not THE, most popular morning FM show in the Atlanta area, and every time they turn around, somebody’s trying to screw them.

Well, the latest was a tiff over a Mexican radio station crew who has taken over 105.7FM in the same building. Apparently the Mexican hosts can’t understand American humor, so racial insensitivity complaints were lodged, and eventually the Regular Guys were suspended again for some stupid PC bullshi*. Larry and Eric gave both Bill and I a fair shake, and unlike most of their interviews, they didn’t joke about us or make fun of us after the interviews. These are some really good guys, and the ethnic PC forces are at work here. I need ALL of you to please do what you can to tell Clear Channel Communications just what you think about their selective punishment of the Regular Guys just recently. I guess in the liberal bastions of some “shock jock” shows just cannot tolerate either Libertarian or Conservative views.

Here’s what Larry Wachs had to say on his blog:

I HAVE A STATEMENT TO MAKE
Bloggers, journalists, broadcasters, listeners, and friends—

As you may have heard, The Regular Guys Show has been terminated once again by Clear Channel Radio. In the past week, my partner, Eric Von Haessler, and I have been silent during a paid suspension while we awaited the results of a company investigation into a minor incident that has since snowballed into something that now demands a public response due to the fact that the principals on the other side are attempting to distort the facts and smear my reputation as a citizen and broadcaster and, in the short term, withhold my income without review or discussion with us.

All of this current mess took root, to my knowledge, in March, when the first national Hispanic illegal alien protests were taking place. We were doing our show in Orlando, from Braves spring training. Listeners started calling us on the air to get our opinion of the boycotts that were going on throughout the metro area and in other major cities across America. As the calls increased in volume, it became the only topic that day as it was on many talk shows across the country.

At one point in the show, we asked a producer to go down the hall and invite Yogi and Panda from Viva 105.7, also owned by Clear Channel, on the air to discuss the issue since some listeners had told us that they were exhorting their audience to boycott and take the day off. They agreed to come on and were ushered into our studio with our board operator, and we had a spirited discussion on the air.

In subsequent days, they complained to local Clear Channel management that they had been “disrespected” and that we should be lectured and punished for being in disagreement and making humorous comments about their point of view, all of which occurred exclusively on the air. Clear Channel management told them on more than one occasion that the opinions we express on the air are fair game, as are theirs, and protected not only by CC company policy, but also the 1st Amendment, and that if they didn’t want to look bad on the air, perhaps they shouldn’t agree to come on our show in the future. Nonetheless, the complaints continued unbeknownst to me through the year.

Fast forward to two weeks ago.

I was in the restroom down the hall from our studios after our broadcast was over on October 9, 2006. I carry a voice recorder on me and had it out to make some notes for a show meeting five minutes hence. Into the restroom walked Mr. Tapia and Mr. Carias who passed me at the urinal and headed for the two stalls in the corner. It’s a small restroom and there is no way they could not have seen me, further evidenced by the recording of them yelling insults at me from behind the stall doors which proves they knew I was there, knew I was recording, blowing up their claims of expectation of privacy, and that they still had an axe to grind about my on air opinions going back 7 months. They refused to talk to me like men. They chose to go into the bathroom stall and shout epithets in Spanish, not knowing I understand enough to know they were insulting me. Never have I engaged them in anymore than a simple wave hello off the air in the entire time we both worked there. In addition, the company has approved similar bits like this in the past.

This sparked another round of complaints to the company, who offered reasonable solutions to satisfy their ongoing and baseless grievances, but, insisting it was about the “honor of their culture,” Mr. Tapia and Mr. Carias went ahead and filed the criminal charge in Fulton County Magistrate Court against me and then filed civil complaints in Superior Court of Fulton County, GA against the company for “negligent hiring” and harassment and invasion of privacy chargess against me personally, omitting in the affidavit the salient fact that all remarks made about them and immigration were on the air, never off the air.

I have been more than willing, at the company’s request, to agree in writing not to even so much as speak of Yogi and Panda on the air going forward, for the sake of company harmony, and clear up any misconceptions they have about my opinion of them personally, which was on the favorable side, since they serve their audience well and deliver good ratings numbers and revenue.

A case of a humorous prank has turned into a culture clash, a suppression of 1st Amendment rights, and a ridiculous smear campaign against me as well as termination of my income without due process.

My friends, if crap like this is allowed to happen, I see the “Fairness Doctrine” looming mightily on the horizon, and all conservative talk radio hosts will be doomed; and for no other reason than liberal talk radio has failed miserably.

Folks, Larry and Eric need our help. This is just NOT right. The Mexican stations are taking over here in Georgia, and they’re using their “you’re offending my race” excuse to drown out American radio voices. It’s time to take a stand.

A good article where Eric responds to what happened, and here’s a petition to bring back the Regular Guys. Please, folks… get involved. These are two really great guys who are getting the shaft.

Wild Bill and WideAwakesRadio will soon have posts about this as well. This is just wrong.
