I think that so-called middle of the road or center left people who want to increase taxes as well as increase spending are nuts. It all depends on your definition of "nut-bars"

How do I convince the soft-rock loving ladies in my office to switch to QR77?

Wow, I have not listened to QR 77 for a long time. Now I remember why. Fox News for Calgarians.
Trying to argue that climate change science is not settled. Whole lot of stupid.

I listened to a few on Rutherford which helped. Otherwise, I've scanned through their websites.

How does that rehabilitate his statement? Why are there racial "insiders" and racial "outsiders"? Why is it better for a racial "outsider" to speak for a racial or ethnic group than a racial "insider"? Its nonsense.

Rutherford and Adler are obviously very right wing, the rest is actually pretty balanced.

Nah, I think SunTV is a better comparision. QR77 is like the radio networks who host the Limbaughs and Hannitys of the world.

Insiders can be mistaken for trying to benefit themselves when they campaign for something. Outsiders cannot.

Don't be naive. You don't think there is a big difference in weight given to what Al Sharpton has to say in support of a "black" issue vs an "outsider"? It may not be right, but that's the way the world works.

The morning guy is actually quite lefty, Kokott is very neutral, Breakenridge is somewhat conservative but quite socially liberal.

And I think most people view Al Sharpton as an assclown who continues to encourage racial divide for his own benefit

Who is the old grouch on the weekends? When a caller asks him how his doing, he says "Nevermind! Get on with it!"

That's Roy Green
I guess after being asked "How are you doing" 60 times a day you get crochety.

Right, but what I am saying is that any advocate for "their" racial group tends to get painted with the same brush (to a much lesser extent than Sharpton, of course). You are "one of them", so you are not objective...
