As rusty trombone knows, the Drudge Retort Report archives can be found here.

The complete archive of all of the Free World Radio Network broadcasts can be found here.

let me know when you're going to have rex on.

As soon as he decides to call in or contact one of us.

25 minutes and we're on. Hans will be joining us from the highways and biways of FL.

NOT a lot of humility here heh?

"The dr left's wet dream"

And you come here, what, when you're running dry, gauge showing "E" for "empty"?

Pissants like daveycrotchit are a sad bunch. C'mon bitch, you keep trying to throw zingers but you lack zing. You just come off as a poorly informed, close-minded angry little man...like most republicans. There are two types of people who support republicans: those who know they are corrupt, racists, fascists assholes but can profit from it, and those who are too stupid to see what is right in front of their faces and will defend the party who is sucking out any virtue left in the states till the very end. If daveycrotchit was part of the first group, he wouldn't be here. At least he's good for a chuckle.

Another good show, guys, but when do we get to win prizes for the worst Rusty Trombone impersonation?

Why not have JiD or Skidmark on to discuss the latest phony conspiracy? He has no shortage of them. How about Manypaths to explain how he believes all the worlds problems are derived from Israel?

Number6, we would have to either have a call in contest, or everyone could post their impressions on the Radio Thread and we could get a couple of volunteer judges to make the call.

The phone system would die from over work. 300+ million people and around two thirds think she is whacked. I will allow for a few million incompetent and underage but that leaves a somewhat large number of calls to deal with. Maybe spread over twenty days or so by alphabetic rule, A's first and so on. It would still screw all forms of telecommunications.

Best we don't!

I listened to the show yesterday. Hans is not too bad but Brian, WOW. Brian seems to spend the whole show bagging on people and then trying to show how much better or smarter he is ("I had to correct his spelling"). .

Very hard to listen to.

Maybe that's because you are a rookie and don't know the Retort inside jokes.
I'm sure if I had made a reference to Vermins calculator you would have bitched about that and called me an elitist.

But thanks for input! I value your opinion as a 2 day denizen of the Retort.

Hans and Briwo,

You know, we are not ALWAYS on opposite sides of the table...I gave your radio show a fair listen (the last three and am going to listen to the rest as I continue to work this afternoon). I think you guys are great. The show is easy to listen to, makes sense, and is a nice place to catch up on the stuff that I might have missed during the week. GREAT JOB!

Thanks A Citizen. It's nice to know we can go for each others throats here, but still keep it all in perspective.

BRIWO,

I just heard the recitation about our discussion under the "President Obama" thread where you determined I was racist (and announced the same on your show). I think that may have been a bit of an unfair characterization of our conversation....but I can roll with the punches. While my feelings may be a bit bruised...nothing but love for you...it doesn't change a thing in my earlier posts. Maybe I should take a moment to reflect on that.

Just like the radio show. Good thing you have thick skin.

I'm sure if I had made a reference to Vermins calculator you would have bitched about that and called me an elitist.

Not at all as I have no idea what you are speaking of.

Thanks for making my point. If you don't even know about Vermins calculator, there is no way you are qualified to render any opinion about abything related to The Retort. Most of what we say and refer to are inside jokes for those of us who have been posting here for years.
Not surprised you don't get it.

A Citizen I encourage you to call in so we can clarify your position. That's one of the things the Retort Report is all about.

show is on THEN??

damn..I have to backwash my waterpic

sorry I will have to miss it...

Briwo,

You know, I listened to the audio of that program again...I don't think that would be such a good idea. From what I heard, your mind is pretty well made up, I see little reason to frustrate me or annoy you.

let me know when you're going to have rex on.

Unhappy with the dramatis personae? If you're unhappy, you can always post on Drudge Report, correct?

...no?

Sucks to be you, then. There's always townhall.com

Manc, Rex was in the chatroom yesterday.

Manc, Rex was in the chatroom yesterday.

sorry for the double and the typo.

I listened to the "Drudge Retort Report" radio show on 2/7/2009.

I just wanted to say, after thinking it over and now seeing others post comments about it on DR, that I don't feel it was fair to pick out Goatman's post -- one so obviously meant as a joke -- and put it out on the air as if he meant it as a serious comment about a serious subject matter.

I'm referring to this thread and post --

"Army Suicides In January Alarming"

hmmmm. Guess they aren't too happy with Obama.

It's easily seen by anyone who read his post that he meant it in jest. Yet you all treated it as if Goatman meant it seriously -- and you intentionally gave that impression to any listener who had not been able to read it for themselves -- particularly with the faux indignation displayed when the hosts called him "Goat-turd" for posting it.

Even less fair, is to make the comment on the air when when the hosts likely knew the person wouldn't be able to listen and/or call in to the live show if they wanted to defend their comment since the person was working at the time the show aired.

I doubt Goatman much cares or even listened to that particular radio show. But I personally feel to twist someone's comment that anyone who had read it would know it was meant solely as a joke -- even if the thread about the increase in military suicides was a serious subject matter -- does take unfair and one-sided liberty as the hosts have the microphone and the poster doesn't.

Do you really think a guy who spent six years in the Navy truly believes any increase in military suicides is a laughing matter? I don't. Nor do I believe Goatman in any way, shape, or form believed Obama played a part in any increase in military suicides and it's ludicrous to think otherwise -- or to give others that impression. His comment was clearly meant only as a one-liner, wisecrack and nothing more.

If everyone who posts on Drudge Retort now feels they may have to think twice before making a joke or wisecrack on any subject of a sensitive nature -- or risk finding themselves the subject of ridicule on the airwaves of a blog radio talk show -- might it not dampen the now free and easy going spirit we have when blogging on Drudge Retort?

Knee pads and kisses for goatman again from CC.

No surprise there, moving to texas yet?

The comment fits perfect for the character goatman has posted through his history.

Goatman is just an ass and the sad fact of the matter is YOU can't seemed to see it.

Do you really think a guy who spent six years in the Navy truly believes any increase in military suicides is a laughing matter?

Apparently if it falls within his political trashing it does.

It clearly shows his character and it boggles the mind why people fail to see it.

CC: I took it as he posted it. There was no indication of a "joke" or "satire."

He used the huge increase in US military suicides to try and score a cheap political point. End of story.
To suggest otherwise is disengenious.

As an Army vet I found it reprehensible and disgusting. Goat or yourself are welcome to call in and make your case, we will give you all the time you want.

But I stand by what I said.
