He's just so awful.

1. Why?

Oh why do they keep having this idiot on?

AirAm has been on less than two weeks and this jerk has already been on twice.

What a windbag!

[NightTrain]

4. Good question!

Who gave this man permission to call himself a liberal? He's a pompous douche bag who still defends the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq!

:wtf:, Hitch? Trying to get your own show on Fox News?

[PROGRESSIVE1]

2. "Hitler" Hitchens.....

:puke:

I'll Pass!!!

and again...:puke:

[swag]

3. He's all stinky

He was pro-Iraq war, if I recall correctly.

Very convoluted reasoning.

5. AA is doomed

All I heard all weekend is the same stuff played all week. 80% of the feedback on the AM format change has been negative. AA is doomed.

6. They're still building thier weekend lineup

The sky is not falling.

P.S. Edit - The Laura Flanders program is not a replay of a weeday program. She's on Saturday and Sunday evenings - live. So you didn't hear this program during the week.

7. American Airlines is doomed?

Maybe you should place some put options.

9. I think she meant Alcoholics Anonymous.

Maybe she could try the pm meetings.

12. Its only been on a week-

[Soup Bean]

8. Don't be so negative....it takes time...

...or is that just wishful thinking you're exhibiting? ;)

[eleny]

10. Yeah - that 80% sounds more like

stats out of freepsland.

[NightTrain]

16. Or the audience of WLIB's old format, "Caribbean Hits."

:shrug:

[peacetalksforall]

14. They are only broadcasting live on Mon thru Fri

Why not repeat on the weekend? Why not give people a chance to hear something they missed during the week.

Seems you may want them to fail?

How much money do you think they should have waited for to come off with a perfect delivery?

Can you fault the guests that have appeared on Al Franken and Katherine' show?

17. Randi Rhodes said they had 2 million people

listening at the same time on the web during the first week. This was NOT the total across the entire week, but at the SAME TIME. That does not include those listening on the radio. They expect week 2 figures to be even higher, since they have already added bandwidth.

I wouldn't be writing their obituary so soon.

18. You wish...

obviously.

11. HITCHENS IS A POMPOUS ASS but

every once in a while he leaves a little gem of undersranding......His attitude of politics is very Natzi.....

13. Reading Vanity Fair this month

seems like he doesn't belong there. They are so anti-war. I was considering subscribing since it's so cheap to sub vs the over the counter price.

15. Hitchens showed his conservative Brit contempt for Clinton and Gore

He's another transparent operative and soldier for the right.

21. Stand away from the radio or the Hitchens alcohol fumes will kill you.
