Dan Caplis vs. Peter Boyles: Battle of the Clear Channel A-Holes

10 thoughts on “Dan Caplis vs. Peter Boyles: Battle of the Clear Channel A-Holes”

1. First, they are on in drive time.  Second, a lie repeated often enough begins to convince people that it is the truth. Third, they systematically undermine the office of the President of the United States.

   The one difference:  I think boyles is in control of his message, he reminds me of the old colonel in Beetle Bailey asking each day “Has the Pentagon called?”  Boyles wants to be on Fox nationally.  Face lift, eyes lifted, hair dyed, he is really for his close up and nobody has called….he keeps plugging the same lines hoping for that last chance.

   Caplis, on the other hand, I think really hates the President and that is something I can not even listen to anymore.

2. If you don’t like them, then why listen?

   1. Can barely get 760.

3. In the late 90s, he talked about how his parents were Democrats and seemed to have a moderate Democratic message.  I didn’t listen to him much, but I don’t recall hearing the right-wing, nutcase crap.  I think Caplis is truly evil, so he is Clear Channel A-Hole Number One.  Just his voice is enough to make me change the station, which I rarely turn to.

4. I think Silverman is the worst of the bunch.  He presents himself as the “moderate voice of reason” sitting alongside the right-wing nut Caplis…but in reality he is just as reactionary as Caplis is.

   At least Caplis and Boyles are honest about who they are.  I can respect that.  I’d rather face an honest enemy than a lying “friend”.

   1. Not to mention the sound of Silverman’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard. It makes my ears hurt. I have to flip through channels quickly to avoid it.

      And yet, I find liberal talk radio just as irritating, sometimes. Sirota is usually reliable in getting his facts straight, but his whining… well, enough said. His extreme left criticisms of Dems only empowers the Republicans and libertarians in the long run. Mario doesn’t always have his facts straight, although his staff is very entertaining, in a juvenile kind of way. I could listen to Thom Hartman all day long. I wish we had him here in Denver.

      Still, at least we have access to moderate and left-leaning talk radio. Some cities only have Limbaugh.

      1. Sirota is too whiney to listen to many days, and I don’t care much for his extreme left criticisms of Dems.  To me, he’s like a left-wing Glenn Beck, more interested in his brand than anything else including Colorado. John Turk is an improvement. Mario and his group are a little too juvenile for my taste.  Thom Hartmann could replace both of them.

5. Just sayin’.

   But yeah, that Obama is a freedom killer, constantly stuffing policy down the throats of red blooded Americans, etc., is getting old.  And fast.  I keep asking for specifics, but they never come.  Except for OBAMACARE (SCARY!!!), again ignoring that a majority of Colorado voters apparently support at least enough of it to not actually vote against it.

   Yet somehow it’s believed.  So even though I go out of my way to avoid all talk radio (jazz in the AM, swing in the PM if I don’t have an iPod handy), I have to go with Caplis.  If you spout crazy, you should have the common decency to do it crazily.

6. Just makes me feel a little better knowing that I’m not totally alone in thinking that they’re both a couple of no-goodniks.
