In order
Dave Ramsey, Glenn Beck, Hugh Hewitt ... I listen to Rush if I have to, same with Medved ... Rush is too pompous for me (I prefer his guest hosts over him), and Medved is always right, just ask him.
Where did Hamblin go?
I listen to Boortz when I'm on the road and can get him, same with Savage. Randy Roads (sp) was entertaining for about 3 miles, then I realized that she actually believed the garbage she was spewing forth ...:barf:

Sometimes I'll listen to Rush. He's entertaining, and sometimes very funny. I question his facts some times, though. He's said things I just don't believe.
But, some times he's just way ahead of the curve. I remember several years ago he was talking about how the U.N. was involved with a oil-for-food scam. I thought, that's amazing ! Then I didn't hear anything about it in the liberal media for the next week, and I figured that somebody would have reported it if it was true. About six months to a year later, the liberal media was reporting the story.
Hannity is nearly always correct, both in his facts and his viewpoints, but I find him boring. He always seems to be restating the very obvious. And, back a few years ago just prior to when we invaded Iraq, he was interviewing a French official (maybe the president/premier/whatever) about the French's not supporting our actions. Instead of nailing the premier on France's motives (e.g., their boondoggling U.N. funds in Iraq), Hannity complained that the French were ungrateful because of what we did for them in WWII.
He just seemed very sophomoric on that interview. I like him as a person.
Savage I can't listen to any more than the left wing whackos who were on the air when I was in California.
I'll stick with Liddy and Hill.

Glenn Beck is the best by far in the daytime , Coast to Coast AM with George Noory is the best at night . Sometimes Rush or Liddy or Savage are very entertaining . I never listen to Hannity , I hate that guy . I'd rather listen to a cat in a blender while triming my toenails with a chainsaw than put myself through 1 min. of his show. For a nice TV show try Glenn Beck on CNN Headline News at 7:00 , 9:00 and 12:00 EST.

In the Liddy and Hill show, Liddy is Tom Liddy, who I believe is G. Gordon's son.

Jim Pruett, a Houston morning radio guy for 25 years, can be heard on streaming audio here:
http://supertalk975.com/main.htm
I think he's a guy that supports our way of thinking, since he owns a gun store:
www.jimpruett.net
Every Monday morning, there's an hour devoted to guns and self-defense, with guest Brian Hoffner, who is a pretty good local defense trainer.

I suggest that you give a listen to Hugh Hewitt if you have a chance.

Is Rush still 'limping' along?
Man is a fraud.
Man is a fraud.
Who I No Longer Listen To
Rush: Good at first but has grown too full of himself.
Savage: I have enough screaming idiots to deal with at work, I don't need another. He seems to thrive off of being nasty and rude. Just becasue this is normal for many on the left does not make it right.
Hannity: Can't stand him anymore. He is another who would give away our freedoms if Bush said it was for the "War on Terror." He also is extremely selective about how he presents things, ignoring or simply not comprehending any valid points of the opposition. When in doubt, and with no facts to support him, he pulls the God Card.
Mark Levin: Overall I like him. He is a Constitutionalist but I do believe his love of Bush blinds him to some of the administrations excesses. His skills aas a radio entertainer are also only so-so.
Who I Listen To:
Lionel: http://www.lionelonline.com/ Bush fanboys will not like him because he hates Bush. At the same time he is fair in my opinion and is truly a Libertarian. He has been both a Prosecutor in FL and done stand up. He has a mind like a steel trap and great whit. I may differ with him on some of his views on Iraq but he always comes down on the side of the Constitution and is Pro 2A. His willingness to point out the faults of the Right as well as the Left means he doesn't generate the hard core "fringe" following that really drives radio's numbers.
Curtis and Kuby: The founder and leader of the Gaurdian Angels, ultra right wing conservative Curtis Sliwa and William Kunsler protoge, card carrying communist, left wing pinko defense attorney Ron Kuby. Together they have great chemistry and give balance to every issue. They are on 770AM in the NYC area in the mornings and are simply the best. My only complaint... TOO MANY COMMERCIALS and other garbage (WEATHER, TRAFFIC, NEWS, aanything but them!)!!!!

Don't get to listen to much talk radio other than drive time here in No VA. That means the former "Love Boat" guy that was also an IA congressman in the AM and Hannity in the PM. I listen to the BBC and NPR in the AM just to hear how the other side thinks. I used to listen to Hannity, but after a while he really wears thin for me. He'll accuse a liberal of name-calling and then two minutes later tell them they're stupid. I do like Ruth's Chris, though.
When I'm in the Myrtle Beach, SC area (3-4 days per month) I listen to Rush and Savage. Rush is an entertainer. I thoroughly enjoy his show. I also like Savage saying things straight out that most of us think but rarely give voice to. Boortz is good also. Don't forget Paul Harvey...

Savage, O'Reilley, Beck.
I have just about givein up on talk radio where I live. I do not like Rush and quit listening to him in '92. IMHO, he is a pompus horse's behind. I live near Kansas City and there are two major talk radio personalites that are on the same station. One is on from 9-11 a.m. and the other from 4-7 p.m. They both do their home work on a subject and therefore are very knowledgble and articulat concerning the subject. However, they sometimes take the attitude that they are right and you are going to bend to their viewpoint no matter what. This is not talk radio as I believe that it should be an exchange of thoughts. Yes, some one will call in and based upon what they are saying should be taken off the air ASAP. But many call in with good points and those should be developed. Just my thoughts.

The other night, while working late, I listened to Coast-to-Coast (it was either that or the local Nationalista Peoples' Radio station). The guest was one of those pyramid guys--you know, ancient alien astronauts had the pyramids built as a replica of a star chart showing the origin planet of the aliens.
Can someone explain to me why aliens, who if they can travel light years to get here and thus must be very advanced technologically, would want to have a bunch of semi-savage primitives (compared to the aliens) build labor-intensive structures from stone to recreate a star chart that only someone from the air could possibly see and comprehend? You'd need an airplane or a hot-air balloon, neither of which was available to the people who built them. And the aliens left no charts of the area or other documents behind so you can decipher the supposed meaning of the pyramids.
So these advanced aliens didn't have something better than DVDs they could have left behind instead? They didn't have a superior solar-cell-type technology to power the thing indefinitely? They couldn't have left some sort of explanatory marker made of indestructible material? Were all the aliens males who never asked for directions and so didn't know how to give directions either?
I suppose Coast-to-Coast can be an amusement, but I really can't figure out the callers who seem to believe this stuff.

LOL!! Sometimes it's interesting, other times it's just humorous entertainment that I can fall asleep to. Honestly, there's about as much truth to it as all the other talk shows mentioned when you weed out the BS---but it's a lot less political. I'd rather fall asleep with a laugh now and then instead of spending half the afternoon listening to someone with "cranium-rectal unification" issues. That's why Coast-to-Coast is my personal choice. 
Not sure about Sliwa -- I never ever heard him advocate for gun ownership. With all the weapons-prohibitions laws in NYC, I never could understand what point there was to the Guardian Angels. Their hearts were in the right place -- community caring about itself and its honest citizens -- but what muscle did they have? Karate? Come on.
Kuby, no way. I would not be able to stand the man. And when you say that together they give balance, I just don't see how that's possible. Do you mean that each one points out the gaping flaws in the other's position? 'Cause otherwise, "balance" usually means some sort of b.s. horsetrade, and not a balance at all.
The disgusting commercials on AM talk radio are by far my biggest complaint. Each one is worse than the last. Lying salesmen infest the media (whether print, radio, t.v.). Nothing but mortgage brokers, people claiming they can get you loans even though you have horrendous credit (like you're not gonna pay usurous interest rates?!), people claiming you can take this pill and it'll grow your: hair, mental faculties, breasts, penis -- I even heard one yesterday that said it gave you the nutrients you need to grow taller!
One sign of the abysmal depth to which our moral and ethical character has sunk as a society is the fact that we tolerate gross mendacity from people just because they have something to sell.
Check out the fraudulent offers in a newspaper car sales ad any time if you want to see what I mean. They put an array of car photos along with prices in big bold numbers. In the fine print, you discover that if you ever expected to pay that price, you have to have already put down a $3000 trade-in, be a recent college graduate and a member of the military and a "loyal" (repeat) customer, and pay a $500 "dealer fee" -- which is just an extra $500 that the dealer wants for no particular reason at all. Oh, don't forget to figure the tax into the per-month payment as well. So just how honest is that price they put under the car?
And the wink and the nod goes on...
