OH NO!!! Kate. How could you PO such a loving,tolerant,understanding,empathic,socialist,leftard,commie as Johnny?? Heh. Keep up the great work.

Congratulations on your irritation of this lefty.

mr himpe....

'don't you know you fool
you never can win
use your mentality
wake up to Reality'

John is a troll.

Wow, just looking at him makes me want to have his baby...

John even hoping for a response, I'm not gonna b yr frd.

But Kyla, aren't ALL women now instantaneously impregnated by THE ONE, Chairman O? So this Hippie, er Himpie (what kind of lame name is that anyway?) is small potatoes.

Johnny wants traffic, eh?

Geez Kate, next thing you know Bill O'Reilly will be craving your sites traffic!!

Ah, I get crap comments like that, too.

This tells me I'm doing something right, annoying Lefitsts so much they have to come on and say stuff that reminds me of dumb, nasty things kids say to one another in junior high school.

Just like the moronic crap the Left spewed against Sarah Palin, for no reason other than she annoys Leftists just by being herself.

Being yourself and annoying Leftists because of it is good, whereas if Leftists think you're the coolest thing in the world, well, that's not a good thing and is an indication that something's probably wrong with you. Boy, now I wonder what could be so terribly wrong with the new Leftist President, who the Left obviously thinks is some kind of demigod?

So... the more crap I get from Leftists, the more I know I'm on the right track! :)

"He's also a huge geek...and is now the Program Director for both News Talk 980 Regina and News Talk 650 Saskatoon"

Which would explain why I've stopped listening to CKOM.

Whenever I go to the Newstalk Radio web site I always pass over whatever this guy has to say. He's just another leftie barometer for me. If he disagrees with my point-of-view - well - that's validation enough for me.

"So... the more crap I get from Leftists, the more I know I'm on the right track! :)"

Newsflash for you and other whingers: Getting more crap is directly proportional to your idiocy.

Looks like he needs to work off more than stress at the gym...

He takes nice photos though. His facebook page is public for the creeping

What I don't get is that they run around professing the evils of large corporations and "consumerism", then turn around and can't resist buying anything with an Apple logo on it. Someone brought up 'doublethink' yesterday...

I love seeing him get a good ass kicking in the comment section of his blog, it's always pretty funny.

It's nice of him to also put down one someone who sends many many listeners to newstalk650 every month.

Looks like we are losing the last non left leaning radio station in SK. Other than Gormley they are all lefties.

The only thing worse than having your pants pulled down in public is having it done to you by a girl!

Just ask Wornout Kantsellit. Can you imagine the 'Eureka' moment he felt when Kate sent him the photo of her 'tatoo'? No more trolling public toilets with his trusty Kodak Brownie he thought. He could now go 'legit' or so he thought.....only to have it all come crashing down with one clean yank on his Levis!

It was a great day when the collective blogosphere gathered round laughing and pointing at his pasty white bare ass and beet red face!

I think John should tighten his belt a notch or two.

Definitely a face for radio.

And when a leftard like uselessnov calls it idiocy,you know you ARE DEFINITELY on the right course.On lesson I learned fairly early...if the left or the Useless Nations approves it,you automatically know it is rotten.

Now his facebook access is restricted.

Well Now, I wonder if John's Parole Officer knows he has access to a Computer ?
,

Sounds like little Johnny is jealous, big sister got a nice cookie and all he got was that face.

Kate has the ammo that I just gave her, if she chooses to pull the trigger....can't believe the guy didn't own his own domain name when it was available.

I'm always up for healthy discussion and debate of issues, but personal attacks (like those lobbed by some of the commenters) never look good on a person.

I've replied on my blog if you want to read. In short -- I have no problems with Kate's politics. I just think the level of discourse associated with this blog leaves me feeling saddened about how Kate uses her power (and she has quite a bit) as a blogger.

SDA is sometimes interesting, but often petty and cheap-shot-ish. There has to be a better way to communicate. And if not, why bother?

- John

Himpe...when the left stops cheapshoting,and acting like 6-7th graders in the playground,then maybe we righties will.So if YOU are so tolerant,why is your sight on facebook now restricted???Ummmm???

Newsflash for you and other whingers: Getting more crap is directly proportional to your idiocy.

--See? Another Leftist troll giving me crap. Toldya. Yep. Definitely on the right track here. :)

So I was told. I've been er... bracing myself for the traffic deluge.

By the way - have you ever listened as closely to the tone and language used by some of your "news" readers at Rawlco when the subject is political? Does it ever occur to some of you that many in your listening audience notice when you leave half the story out?

Do you have any understanding how that erodes trust? If you can't get the simple things right (and Rawlco is one of the worst offenders in this), then why should anyone bother with you?

Unlike a media outlet, this blog has never purported to be an unbiased or balanced source for news.

It exists, and has drawn the audience it has for one reason - the vacuum that has been created by media outlets, large and small, who present current events with a sneer attached, and view conservative viewpoints as "the other".

Is really CKOM?

As in Kommunist? or Kommisar or Komintern? Too funny...

Hi, Mr. Himpe.

I'd remind you of the low, low level of discourse on the part of average "progressive" folks online... they really take the cake.

I went to John's blog and wrote this:

John,

I don't quite get how you have a problem with SDA. You say that you disagree with Kate's opinions, yet, Kate rarely states her opinion. In the entire blog rarely does Kate put in more than ten words of her own on a thread and her words are almost always humorous. As you point out, Kate relies on quotes from and links to MSM stories, then people comment on the story. No big, long editorials from Kate, ever.

What Kate does do on SDA is expose news stories that don't always get covered as widely as they should. I know from personal experience that Kate was the only person willing to expose the vile M.A. Thesis written by a young Tommy Douglas. "The Problem With The Subnormal Family" in which Tommy wrote about the need to put poor people in camps and have them sterilized. No one else would expose the truth. Kate did. No opinions offered. Just the bitter truth. Is that what bothers you?

Perhaps your problem is with the comments on SDA and the fact that people who's opinions differ from your own have a forum in which to be heard?

I hope you take the time to discover what it is about SDA that really bothers you, as I am sure it can not be Kate's not existent opinions.

John Himpe:

"petty and cheap-shot-ish"

Yes, that's what I thought about the LIEberal MP Shawn Murphy, when he suggesting HANGING former PM Brian Mulroney in the House of Commons.

I think most of us plebeians would be hauled off for treason for suggesting same.

If we want lessons in decorum, it would be nice if the LIEberals would lead by example.

Hmm... that's a large part of why I, too, blog. I tell folks who question why... in a nutshell, it's because there are things that need to be said that aren't being said. Indeed, Big Media has pretty much vacated a huge area it shouldn't have, and now that the vacant area is filling up with other folks and upstart organizations, particularly online, they're scratching their heads, wondering why they're losing audience and revenue. Guess they're insane, 'cause they continue to pursue the same old Left-leaning, biased, half-the-story, one-side-mostly, drivel from which we actually derive few facts and little "news". They mistakenly believe that the People want their quasi-propaganda and are willing to pay for it. Until now, the People had virtually no choice but to watch network news and buy papers. Today it's different, and one can get all the news, facts and opinion one could ever hope for... for nothing more than the cost, if any, of an internet connection. So who, today, needs to blow fifty bucks a month on cable TV and a couple hundred or so a year on newspapers? Especially if one is sick and tired of all that biased, quasi-propaganda Left-leaning crap and simply won't pay one more cent for it!

The Big Media is like a great, big, giant blog, with headlines, some facts, lots of storytelling, lots of biased opinion (often masquerading as "reporting") and even audience comments, just like many civilian blogs. So it's no shock that blogs by ordinary citizens are gaining audience by leaps and bounds, as many of these blogs are pretty much as good a source for facts and opinion as is the Big Media. The only difference is big money versus very little money.

Wow, surprised that such a tech savvy guy like John would not own his own domain name.....www.johnhimpe.com is going to a much better place!

I just about gagged the other morning when the Newstalk 980 morning guy referred to Harper's government as "Ultra Right Wing". No bias by that station for the most part...

Ummm ... who exactly is this white dude and why do we care?

Here's something from The Himpsters blog:

You Should Take Your Advice
On January 23rd, 2009 Chris (not verified) says:
You people in the media are the worst at this. No one tries to pit one group against another like the media does.

It would do the world a lot of good if you guys would stop trying to force your views on people, and if you would stop demonizing people who do not agree with you.

Just this week, you slammed Bush for no good reason. Sure you left wingers hated him, but not everyone does.

The alternate media is a result of you folks providing misinformation and division. That is why the media is going bankrupt everywhere.

reply report spam
The media.
On January 23rd, 2009 Gavin (not verified) says:
Chris.. you are hilarious.
"You people.."
Are you suggesting all media outlets are alike?
Would you say MSNBC and FOX are the same? Just.. "the media"?
That is such a naive point of view.
Where would we be without the media.. You would have no idea what's going on in the world, or in your own community.
Don't slam the media because you don't like what's going on in the world.
Newstalk is a totally Conservative station... Have u noticed a man named.. ummm. John Gormley? lol
If Bush is being slammed, it's based on stupid things he did as President. Sorry to inform you, but the man's approval rating was 30 percent. That means 7 out of 10 people were most likely slamming Bush this week. Sometimes, if you think Bush is an idiot, it's not about being "left-wing".. it's about Bush.. being an idiot. Haha. "Misunderestimate.." Type in Bushisms on Youtube.. can you still tell me he's a smart man and great President?
Grow up aready and don't attack the media for doing their jobs.

And John says that we get nasty on SDA? You can not get a better example of how nasty the left gets in a discussion.

"when the Newstalk 980 morning guy referred to Harper's government as "Ultra Right Wing". "

But from their point of view on the Ultra Left Wing, the CENTER-LEFT looks that far away!

Seems to me that Himpi should be grateful for the traffic, as noted by Joe Molnar. I, for one, would have never, ever visited that twitter thingie site if Kate had not posted the link. I visit SDA because it is interesting, optimistic, informative and contains no platitudes (except in troll comments). This is Canada's premiere news site and that is probably why the twitter crowd also read sda.

Some people watch pro wrestling; I visit SDA.

Anyway, Himpe's a simpleton, so I imagine he'll provide plenty of ammunition for you guys. It's always sad when someone his age completely doesn't get it, but perhaps this exercise will teach him something :).

oh, and lol @ rob.

Good one Kate.

Make sure you behave like a dose of Poison Ivy, make him squirm

Himpe & Kirton, two pee's in a pot.

SDA is sometimes interesting, but often petty and cheap-shot-ish. There has to be a better way to communicate. And if not, why bother?

This is somehow different than taking a call, arguing with the caller, then slagging them after they hang up! These two do it regularly. Himpe was almost wetting himself over the Chosen One's coronation the other day.

These two are BAD but they don't hold a candle to Murry Wood. If you disagree with him you can't get a word in.

Makes you wonder why Gormley stays there...

These are petty cheap shots in reality:

** Warren K handing Stockwell Day a purple dinosaur

** Richard Warman insinuating that all conservatives are neo-Nazis for daring to disagree with Him

** the big inflated furore over Sarah Palin's throw-away line about seeing Russia from her house, which was obviously not meant literally

** Anything that Liz May said in the election campaign (or since then, in all probability)

** what you're now about to type

Isn't Himpe the little man that still lives with his parents? Lefty for sure!

I just turned down a "free trip for two to one of 44 destinations" around the world in exchange for a 3 month subscription to the Globe & Mail.
I told the telephone solicitor that I was not interested in supporting a Liberal cheerleading newspaper, that if the G&B were more balanced in their reporting, I might have been interested.

"Looks like we are losing the last non left leaning radio station in SK. Other than Gormley they are all lefties."

Murray Wood, who occaisionally fills in for Gormley, has been known to show momentary lapses of common sense. He has strongly defended Israel's right to self-defense and has sharply rebuked the pro-Hamas lefties who phoned in to offer their useless analysis of the Gaza conflict. However, Wood has also shown an unabashed worship of Obama and dwells far too much on the fact that the new president is African-American. He also loves to criticize Stephen Harper and has, in fact, blamed Harper for the entire coalition of the swilling fiasco.

Other than Gormley and Wood, the rest of the Rawlco crew can be written off as sheer wastes of oxygen.

Outside of Gormley, there's no point in listening to the crap on NewsTalk in Saskatchewan. It's awful funny that in almost every other medium/large radio market, the News/Talk format is the number one rated format...630 CHED in Edmonton and CJOB in Winnipeg both lead their markets by a HUGE margin. The best NewsTalk in Saskatchewan can pull in the 18+ market is 6th out of 7 stations in Saskatoon and Regina.

I wonder if it has to do with Mr. Himpe as a program director? I mean, C'MON...weekend programming sucks major Wang Chung!!! Chef Malcolm? Nice guy I'm sure but I wonder if his show has anything to do with him being married to the Legislative correspondent and "in the hotseat" sometimes host Sarah Mills. Toss in all the other paid Talk to the Experts crapola as well as fluff programming like gardening and computer dudes and you've got a station NO ONE will listen to outside of Gormley.

Himpe...you suck as a programmer. Period.

PS: Good thing Gormley came back to Saskatoon before Himpe assumed the reigns as programmer otherwise we'd be listening to Chef Malcolm from 8:30am-12:30 weekdays!

I agree with Biff...other than Gormley (and sometimes Murray Wood)...the entire Rawlco crew are utterly borrrrring.

Waste of Skin!

Did anyone notice that comments are turned off on Daphne's Newstalk blog re: the Obama inauguration?

Interesting.

Peter -

Sarah Palin never said she could see Russia from her house. That was the SNL impersonator, whatshername, now widely attributed to Palin.

Palin noted that there were places in Alaska from where you could see Russia.

But the myth lives on....

John seems to be an articulate hoot. Open mouth, place foot in it, then start back paddling HARD!

From Johns blog “Through Small Dead Animals, Kate works feverishly to try and incite the us-versus-them, you're-with-us-or-against-us, liberal-or-conservative mentality. Rarely in Kate's world is there room for grey”.

To begin with “Rarely” is a relative word. I would personally add that Johns indecisive world of ALL grey is what has put our countries in the risky positions they enjoy today. Johns perfect people planet of centered neither right nor left, liberal or conservative neither man nor woman reminds me of any transexual decision maker – Tonight is it creamy breasts and succulent thighs or sweaty balls across the face.

It’s the same hypocritical language that blows through SDA every day “You losers take potshots at us perfectly centered grey area people, well we say your nothing but knuckle dragging, red neck Nazi’s that want to kill baby’s who don’t smoke pot and have the government pay your way. Just die and go away, so that big brother and John Lennon can tell us how to live because it’s a grey world out there”.

Yea, we will mind our own thank you very much John and others. That would include our “rarely grey” opinions to express on the “free speech for now internet.”

Gormley is a fanatical windbag who shuts down any and all contrary opinions, and runs his show like a mini Guantanamo. Certain elements of the administration of this blog are doing their best to imitate our bald little buddy at 650 CKOM... the voice of the dissident Zionist.

That other goof in Calgary... Rutherford... and Gormley are elitist wannabes, however, that is a position one is born into, and no amount of ranting and raving and ass-kissing the elitists makes one's blood blue, nor does it ingratiate one with them.

Listen to Korney Kolt, 15 seconds of sneer and the radio is off. Got Adler, Gormely and Green and the rest is paid advertising.

...and runs his show like a mini Guantanamo.

What part of his show does this idiot not understand?

It's his; not yours and definitely not the collective's. And he is free to do with it as he pleases, as Kate is free to do what she wants with her blog.

We live in a different world than these people. The world of results. The world of quality. The world of competition. The world of responsibility.

The world of personal ownership.

This is what separates us from these twits.

I am an elitist as well. I am better than guys like Himpe and The Highwayman.

We conservatives are better than them because our values are better. There is no equality with these people. There's no fairness.

We're better because we think better. We know better. We live better, more moral lives.

There is no grey area here.

Highwayman and Himpe will never understand that.

The irony for Mr. Himpe is that SDA has a wider audience and sphere of influence than either radio station or John Gormley. With much respect to Kate, Saskatoon and Regina aren't exactly the centre of anywhere except two small population centres in the middle of a fairly large empty space.

Even as an SDA regular I've never listened to Gormley, wouldn't recognize his face if I saw it, actually don't care if I ever hear him. You can bet, safely, that in the population cluster(f*ck) of 2-3 million that I circulate in, not a single respondent in a man-in-the-street interview would recognize the name Gormley, let alone Himpe, or even of the stations. Sadly, I doubt any would know of SDA either.

The difference, though, is that Kate's blog has viewer tentacles that reach deep into true seats of power and influence. Kinsella, for example, for all his partisan stupidity, is connected, in Bay Street and Ottawa, as are many other readers of SDA. Not all deep readers are friendly, but they pay attention all the same. Himpe cannot claim that for his stations.

What is telling is who does read SDA and where they go from there. If you run a blog of your own and link through SDA you will attract some of her traffic. A review of who comes to see from SDA is illuminating. Its not just the basement dwellers (in fact, rarely is). In my own case, its been the CIA, amongst others from the beltway and other true centres of influence. That's the power of SDA.

Have a hissy fit all you want John Himpe, but you really are just a little drip in the flow that is Niagara Falls. No one will see you go over. Fewer will care if you survived the fall.

Not that John.

When you are recognized as the best conservative blog, you just might tend to bring out the worst of the left.

Welcome to life at the top.

I guess (as is usually the case with partisan numbskulls) you weren't listening, Greek... no one is an elitist that isn't born one... got it?

And, you are not better than me, because you like most of the idiots on this blog aspire to actions and thought that go against the very government of God, Who is just and merciful. His Son didn't go around annihilating His enemies... but the Zionists of the day surely did! Guess what? Nothing's changed in THAT regard!

And one other thing, dork; just because I don't agree with you and most of the other fools that lurk under this rock, doesn't make me irresponsible. If I were irresponsible, I'd just laugh (like most do!) at the partisan stupidity and bias that runs rampant on this blog, and go my own way without trying to shed some light on the dismal attitude prevalent here. I happen to be conservative in nature, but certainly not politically, nor am I liberal. I am apolitical, because politics has NEVER been an honorable profession!

So, sonny, if you want to play the condescension game, you're on your own. There's nothing honorable about you or your elitist-wannabe compadres, only your incredible penchant for gullibility and malleability in the hands of those that would never accept you as anything but the propaganda slave you are!

T'would seem highwayman is truly a born elitist and as such is extremely offended by us mere mortals.

Wow
A couple of Tums may help keep all that foam in check there Highwayman...

yikes

"...aspire to actions and thought that go against the very government of God, Who is just and merciful. His Son didn't go around annihilating His enemies..." - Highwayman

Uh huh. Well, I don't think "His Son" would approve of you calling anybody who disagrees with you:

"numbskulls" "idiots" "dork" "fools that lurk under this rock" "stupid"

Would he?

Do the world a favour. Stop blogging until you've educated yourself enough to form an actual opinion. You know, one not founded on ad hominem attacks, hypocrisy and conspiracy.

The biggest difference I have noticed between the left and the right on the blogsphere is the censoring of comments. If you try to post a thought that does not fit into the group think on a neo-socialist blog, well, it just won't make it on, sort of like an Olivia Chow poll, you can only agree, no tolerance for difference of opinion.

On a conservative blog if you disagree the crowd loves it! I often pity the poor trolls, like the Himpster, who come on to SDA with their condescending attitudes only to have their butts handed to them. Often they will fire one cheap shot and then never have the courage to answer all of the responses. Neo-socialists have trouble with real facts, they prefer the ones they make up.

Highwayman "because politics has NEVER been an honorable profession"

That is pure shit. Without politics there is anarchy. Politics is not easy but it is necessary, and your attitude would land us back in the dark ages. There are good ones and there are bad ones, and there is a lot of honour in representing your fellow citizens in parliament. You need a thick skin and a lot of determination to make headway in politics - but it is honourable.

Highwayman...

I AM better than you. Period. And you have now proved it... twice.

You may in fact be responsible, however, based on your last two posts, I suspect you may not be very bright.

Being "apolitical" is a cop out. It means you don't have the intellectual or moral horsepower to form an opinion based on unwavering values and principles.

What's worse is you use the Good Book as some sort of weird justification for being antisemitic.

It's lefties like you that are wrong with our society. You see, all our enemies know what side they're on. And for some reason you think not picking a side is somehow intelligent or prudent.

In today's world (as it has been in the past) being apolitical is suicide. You people are the first ones to be led to the gallows. (While we conservatives are fighting our enemies on the front lines, trying to protect all our asses, including people who don't deserve to be saved like you).

And finally, (and this line kills me)...

"So, sonny, if you want to play the condescension game, you're on your own.

Is calling someone "sonny" condescending in itself? Hence why I believe your gerbils have quit spinning your mental wheel...

You're out of your league here. Have you not figured that out?

"Gormley is a fanatical windbag who shuts down any and all contrary opinions"

Do you actually listen to the show?

Gormley's show is frequented by left of centre callers, many of them being regulars, who are given every opportunity to rant and express disagreement. 9 times out of 10, Gormley will engage these callers in debate. He seems to relish the opportunity to call them on their outlandish statements. Invariably, the leftists' arguments degenerate into off-topic diatribes and Gormley wins the debate again .... without insults and name-calling. The only callers who are cut off are those frothing at the mouth, gnat-brained lunatics who have no interest in debate and refuse to shut up long enough for Gormley to offer some input.

Although I often disagree with Gormley for giving left-wing callers free rein to spout nonsense, I suppose he has the ulterior motive of allowing them to demonstrate the extent of their idiocy.

Just had a quick look...the comment I posted on the 650 CKOM website in Himpe's blog was not posted by the "moderator". I guess their "terms of service" don't include the posting of their ratings in the two cities of Regina and Saskatoon.

Nice job Mr. Himpe.

We think highwayman means "non partisan" not apolitical. Very different of course. He needs a vocabulary refresher.

If Gormley qualifies as a conservative then the movement is in trouble. That goes for Rutherford as well. He has never seen a gov't program he didn't like, doesn't mind big gov't and as for more regulation...well bring it on. Gormley is an entertainer, nothing more. Not to be taken seriously.

"His Son didn't go around annihilating His enemies... but the Zionists of the day surely did! Guess what? Nothing's changed in THAT regard!"

Scratch a leftist, find a Jew-hating anti-Semite? Yeesh, that's ugly.

Yikes a person goes away fro a little while and comes back to find raving lunatics in the house.

Lefties are inherently wrong simply because they embrace ideology that is based on falsehoods.

The sad part is that so few ever come to realize their mistake. Rather they choose to immerse themselves ever deeper into the slime.

The irony is that they will present themselves as your moral superior while at the same time spewing vitriol and bile.

This one went sideways I see.

So many morons and so little time...

LOL!

Supplied by Trent January January 23, 2009 6:15 PM, note, not written by.

“Are you suggesting all media outlets are alike?”
One of the people says, one, FOX, out of let’s just say MSNBC, CNN, HN, CBS, NBC, BBC, CBC, ABC, works out to practically speaking, all. As the saying goes “exception proves the rule”.

“Where would we be without the media.. You would have no idea what's going on in the world, or in your own community.”
This is typical omission that is standard practice in the opinion media. That is not the point, the point is that the news comes as ‘raw’ so to say, their, the media opinion is irrelevant to the consumer.

“Don't slam the media because you don't like what's going on in the world.”
Same as above, omissions don’t qualify for news.

“Newstalk is a totally Conservative station... Have u noticed a man named.. ummm. John Gormley? Lol”
If it can be called conservative in this country, it is the only opposition to the socialists, totalitarians and other assorted scoundrels.

“If Bush is being slammed, it's based on stupid things he did as President”.
Let us see now, what did Bush say that is constructed as stupid?

“Sorry to inform you, but the man's approval rating was 30 percent. That means 7 out of 10 people were most likely slamming Bush this week. Sometimes, if you think Bush is an idiot, it's not about being "left-wing".. it's about Bush.. being an idiot”.
If the opinion media hammer for years on how bad a president is, those that don’t know and don’t know they don’t know, their opinion can’t have a real value, though it counts in a survey.

“ Haha. "Misunderestimate.." Type in Bushisms on Youtube.. can you still tell me he's a smart man and great President?”
“Actually, it shows certain creativity and perhaps play on words on the Bush’s part. It is beyond any doubt what so ever, when Zero comes up with one of those, he will be some kind of enlightened genius if not outright messiah.

”Grow up already and don't attack the media for doing their jobs.”
Media has not done and has absolutely positively no guts to their job in some, this is a rough estimate, 20 years.

Let me rephrase that.
Not to tell the whole story does not qualify for news. Including omissions.

It did not come up right either. Hope you get the drift.

"These two are BAD but they don't hold a candle to Murry Wood. If you disagree with him you can't get a word in."

Although Wood occaisionally flirts with common sense, check out his behaviour whenever a caller makes a critical remark about the MSM and its obvious left-leaning bias. He goes absolutely ballistic and brings a whole new meaning to the term "defensive".

“The biggest difference I have noticed between the left and the right on the blogsphere is the censoring of comments.”

Great Point!!

What is the left so afraid of, what do they have to hide?

Not crazy about the programing of the provincial Rawlco stations? Think its all crap? other than Adler, Gormley and Greene shows? The only thing, and I mean the only thing that affects anything in the world of Rawlco is revenue stream projections or lack there of. You would like to see the weekend infomercials stopped, maybe depth and balance to news reporting? Morons like Himpe reined in and corrected? Cory Kolt or David "taliban" Kirton get dropped? Far better to send email to the head of the "Borg"
That would be; Pam Leyland pleyland@rawlco.com or Mike Zaplitny mzaplitny@rawlco.com
The rest are meat puppets at best. Gormley, Loucks, Arnold, Herb Baumann are good guys and I wish them well.
The rest can pound sand.

At least Chef Malcolm, Rick the garden guy and the computer geeks stick to what they know.

The Himpes, Kirtons and Kolts should be reassigned to building maintenance and not be allowed access to a microphone ... except to clean it.

Skip.

I for one am from Ottawa (Ex-patriot Albertan... long story)

You're right. I've never heard about this guy, whoever he is, and I'm a talk-radio junkie. I DO, however, know Kate and her work. ('nuff said)

Kudos to her. She's earned her reputation. I suppose the other guy has kinda done the same. Sad.

I agree with one of the comments posted at the end of Himpe's blog that says the right will become a lot meaner. I know I used to think "live and let live". Not any more. If you've pinned a liberal to the ground and have your foot on his neck, you NEVER let him up again. They do not play fair. So they are out of the game.

When I see CTV's "Question Period" with Craig Oliver, Jane whats-her-name and three left-wing journalists summing up the events of the week, drinking each other's bath water, interviewing EACH OTHER (!), they cause people to think that their's is the only viewpoint. And that's not a blog. That's mainstream media.

Talk show hosts like Gormley and others, should ALWAYS do the same. They should have a couple of conservatives and a libertarian who discuss the events of the day ONLY FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW. Stop giving the left any more time. We've paid for enough of it.

Hmmm, was just going over my resume...let's see, 9 years in television (ironically enough, at the same station he claims to have worked at, and just under four years in radio, including a stint as a morning anchor, as well as producing a daily one hour news program...Geez maybe I should submit my resume as a possible replacement for Himpe, and a guest host on John Gormley's show so people wouldn't have to listen to Murray (Let's-see-how-many-words-I-can-say-in 30 seconds Wood.
