So, how long before Belzer calls Hillary a f***ing whore? I give him 3 weeks on the job before Air America fires him, too.

It's absurd for Air America to have Richard Belzer host for Randi Rhodes.

Those liberals among us who aren't stone freaking cold stupid have been hoping that Air America really make a strong showing, by replacing Randi with an edgy, take-no-prisoners advocate for Progressive Causes.

No offense to Belzer (I'm a huge fan) but he is NOT an appropriate substitute.

Mark Green, you have really screwed up, big-time.

While there is more than enough room for multiple liberal franchises, it is your job to supply one that is compelling and entertaining.

What is your goal, besides getting invited to some decent parties?

For shame!

So he is Henry Winkler's relative and a Hillary Clinton lover, that won't make us want to listen anymore to Air America. We can hear Randi now on Nova M which many, many stations will carry in that timeslot.

I'm still a truthseeker. Welcome aboard Richard.

I'll miss you Randi, but best of luck with your new ventures... I think Belzer will do a decent job but I miss the days of Al, Jerry, Randi, & Rachel...I still don't know what the big deal was...it's called freedom of speech. I've heard Hillary called far worse. I have always felt that Bill Clinton was the best "Republican" president we had. He never acted like a real Democrat and certainly not a liberal one at that. I don't expect Hillary to be much different if she were elected.

Just as many people will NOT listen as didn't listen to Randi Rhodes.

Garbage in, garbage out.

I hope Belzer does some of the conspiracy stuff he is so good at.

I like Beltzer's writing, but am iffy on him as a comic.

I would actually prefer that AAR keep Seder, get him a slighlty more dynamic sidekick/co-host, and give him a whack at that timeslot.

Used to love the Majority Report - maybe they could recreate that in some way?

Belzer is going to have some stiff competition with Randi Rhodes on Nova M and Cenk Uygur on The Young Turks in the same time slot. I'm interested in hearing how he'll handle a radio show, but even if I like him, chances are I'll listen via podcast.

This guy is f***** horrible. Ever see him on BIll Maher's show?

I didn't think they wanted a stand-up comic.

He's still alive? Barely, it appears.

I do thoroughly enjoy Randi's show and her provocative nature. that being said I look forward to Belz. I can see both AAR's and Randi's points in this. Obviously the new management did not live up to Randi's expectations, and equally the new management had expectations of Randi she didn't match up with. So what's the big deal? simply promotion. As long as this stays in the spotlight, both Randi and AAR get attention....which is good.

Enjoy the commotion folks, I sure do.

Fuck AAR. The only person who should replace Randi Rhodes is Sam Seder, the best progressive talker out there.

Belzer will thump for Israel - Randy did not. Clear channel is an Israeli front station. THAT is what's behind this. The good part is that traitorous organizations like Clear Channel are going to be replaced by freedom of speech on the web broadcasts..... and once that catches on Americans will be free of the Israeli propaganda in radio content.
