I'd like to see you debate him.
Well since I agree with most of the things he says, so it would be kind of pointless. I just don't think he is too intelligent, and his debating skills SUCK. Debating is not about who can scream louder. I actually used to like him at the begining, when he was just on in NYC, until one day he had a PETA rep. on. I can't stand PETA and I agreed with Hanitty's view on it. But jeez, he didn't let the rep. get in 2 words before he was shouting her down. She never had the chance to explain her position. That's a typical Hanitty debate.

I listen to him quite a bit and from what I've seen, he gives his opponents plenty of time to answer. It's not his fault they don't have any decent arguments to make.

I used to listen to NPR, but they are soooooooo left wing liberal (although they believe otherwise) that I just go tired of all the Pollitically Correct crap, and such. Some of the shows are good, though.

Meh.. havent listened since O&A got kicked off the air :( I'm getting my tuning dial ready when they return in June :)

Hannity is a right wing moron... and most of the other talk radio shows included. Why do the republicans have so much to b!tch about?

Weekdays - sports talk

Weekends - home improvement and Car Talk


There is something almost spiritual about listening to home improvement shows and working around the house on the weekends.

Jim Rome > everyone else by a mile.

All I listen to is talk radio. There isn't any music worth listening to on the radio.

I like the interviews, but they're pretty well to the left of center. but they make me think.

I listen to Sean Hannity whenever possible and agree with Shanti. It's usually the other way around with the caller getting fussy and rampant IMO.
