I haven't listened to a whole lot of him, but I think Mark Levin is pretty good.

How about Art Bell? I used to listen to him late at night. He speaks of aliens, chupacabra, bigfoot anything conspiratorial. YouTube - artbell's Channel

The question for us today is, will we be like the majority of Israel and continue to look in fear at the giants in the land and urge our fellow Christians to be "realistic," or will we be like Joshua and Caleb and faithfully follow our king, trusting to fulfill every one of his promises completely? |

Oh noo... Art Bell? (I'm forced to listen to that show, it's the only thing on late night here.) On the positive side, Chuck Missler has been on his show!  |

I used to listen regularly to Rush, but have been pastoring a congregation in Canada the last two and a half years. Unfortunetly I do not hear him in Canada. Obviously, Ottawa would not allow anything like Rush on the air, because they want the Canadian people to remain brainwashed. We have more restrictions on the airwaves up here in the North. Keep talk radio on the air.

Mark Levin use to on here before the midnight hour. He was funny to listen to. He got kinda wierd over his dogs and then he was dropped here. I don't know if the two when hand in hand but he is no longer on the air here.
Unfortunately Coast to Coast is still on. I listen ever now and again only for the entertainment, and listening to something helps me sleep sometimes.

It used to be Dennis Prager but I don't get to listen to much now except early morning, so I'll say Mike and Mike on ESPN.

He would refer to 'Jim' Everett, quarterback of the LA Rams as 'Chrissy' Everett. I happened to be watching 'Talk 2' that evening when Everett went over the table at him. It was very 'Ryan Leaf'!

| You really think so? He just hangs up on people who disagree with him! I enjoy Hewitt's discussions more than Medved's debates. | How many times have you listened to Medved? I've listened to him for years and have rarely heard him hang up on people. In fact, the reason I like his show so much is that he loves to take calls from those who disagree with him. I think he's a skillful debater and I love hearing him dismantle liberals arguments. He and I dont always see eye to eye on things but I've yet to find any one person with whom I agree 100%.

I used to listen to a lot of talk radio, but I've gotten pretty tired of all the hot air.

I do like listening to Glenn Beck but he can say some of the dumbest things regarding Christianity. I know he's Mormon but sometimes he just makes me cringe. And then he'll say something to crack me up or assess an issue profoundly.

I listen to Medved when he is on. We had a really funny local guy who was in the military reserves named Brian Suits. He recently got bumped for Dr. Laura.  I think he is on in CA now. Anyone is CA would love him.

Dr. Laura is great. Got me through my divorce and helped to set me up for my great marriage. i.e. following God's plan for my marriage, and not my old liberal ways.
Keep em commin y'all  just listen to her and think, "praise the Lord that my marriage isn't going through that!"

I listened to Rush years ago, but got sick of him--I changed the channel to Christian Radio and haven't turned it back..

I like Albert Mohler the best. I can call him a talk show host because he is on everyday and comments on the news. I'm continually impressed with his ability to analyze the news from a biblical perspective and help the listener to form a Christian response.
I listened to Rush from day one and then for many years. As long as one keeps in mind that Rush is an entertainer first then he is enjoyable. I think he started to see himself as more than that and I quickly lost interest in him. He's an ideolog and a cheerleader for the republicans. I think the fact that he's a serial divorcer also turned me off to him. He's not as unpalatable as the narcissistic and smug Sean Hannity because, as I said already, Rush can be entertaining.
Sorry Grymir, you're avatar bugs me. I keep telling myself that I was a young ideolog myself once - you'll come around.  | | The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to BobVigneault For This Useful Post: | |

| Mega dittos! I don't want to smear his character (but this following commentary is about things which are public knowledge)...the guy was found with viagra while he was in the middle of a divorce a year or two ago...what did he have viagra for when his marriage was crumbling? NO ONE mentioned the fact he was likely cheating on his wife and/or promiscuous.
I even heard him make a joke a few weeks ago in passing alluding to his infidelities...this guy is no better than Bill Clinton, really. And now he's encouraging domestic terrorism by sabotaging the electoral process...
Rush is the epitome of what's wrong with Republicans...

No offense Grymir  but everytime I see your avatar I cringe a little.
For years I loved Rush, but a couple of few times I heard him slam Christians pretty hard in some off-handed remarks I just really got turned off to him.
In particular, I remember he and his brother were laughing and mocking some letters Rush had received over the years from Christians trying to share the Gospel with him.
I don't know about his brother, but I think Rush is/was Jewish at the time.

Now that's a new one. I'm pretty sure that the Limbaughs are not now nor have ever been Jewish. I'm also fairly sure David is a believer. Rush may be marginal at best. I don't know.
