Hey Irwin, I can see your insecurity from my house.

"You can't prove that FDR didn't give a television address on the Great Depression (which, by the way, Biden never mentioned)."

True, he only mentioned FDR's television address about the stock market crash of 1929.

Irwin is so obviously an agent provocateur and you've all had your buttons thoroughly pressed, much to his glee. Avoid these nitpicky, provocative little discourses and read some William F. Buckley instead for a thoughtful, consistently intelligent perspective from the right. Then read some William S. Burroughs.

[Human Shaking his Head]

This thoughtful, intelligent, William F. Buckley? - "Before he died, William F. Buckley Jr. put his young grandson on the firing line. 'I intentionally make no provision herein for said Jonathan, who for all purposes . . . shall be deemed to have predeceased me,' Buckley's will says, according to the Hartford Courant."

Classy.

I'll be happy when this is all over and Pres. Bob Barr and VP Wayne Allyn Root save us from all this nonsense!

[Borat]

Bob Barr ate my wife's cheese made from her breast milk.

Fuckin' hell. I subscribe to this blog to get away from shit like this.

This past month has been a eye-opening experience. I've come to realize that there is no such thing as "debate" with my Democratic friends. You either vote their ticket, or you're an idiot.

You do realize, I hope, that should Obama win, he'll have to be president of the entire US - not just the blue states, but also the hicks from the red states that you consider ignorant and stupid. And he'll have to work with the other two branches of government and within the framework of the Constitution. At some point you'll realize that you were sold a bill of goods on "hope and change," and that what you voted for was a typical politician - nothing more or less. But hey, at least you got a good laugh out of the Repub VP, right?

[Listner Jim]

And I hope that if McCain wins that he'll have to be president of the entire US - not just taxpayers.

[Klinger]

Since my last post was deleted, I'll rephrase it.

Lovemaking heck. I subscribe to this blog to get away from this feces.

[Klinger]

Oops. I just noticed my post wasn't deleted. Sorry!

I stand by both statements.

...on a pillow of racist newsletters?

[Mark Martin]

Hey, I don't have time to read all these freakin comments but I see that some of them don't accept Irwin as their personal Jesus! WTF? I live 10 miles away from smith College and I can assure you Maggie Mertens is a lunatic and a heretic. I pray to Irwin! Smite you! Deal!

[Gold Hat]

Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I DON'T HAVE TO SHOW YOU ANY STINKING BADGES!!

[emile]

Hey Irwin,

Yeah just like I said, you post some cutesy little joke about Obama then when someone writes in and raises some valid arguments you have nothing to say in defense of your war crazed 72 year old. Maybe you should play his little "bomb Iran" ditty on your show. I mean that was FUNNY. Making jokes about killing civilians in the Middle East...classic. VERY presidential. I am sure a Mccain presidency will do wonders to improve our standing in the world. They don't hate us because of our freedom, they hate us because we bomb their children and then makes jokes about it.

If you are going to post political nonsense on a music blog at least have the balls to defend yourself when someone disagrees.

So go ahead Irwin. We're all listening.

"Hi, "Emile." Your eloquence sounds familiar. (I know you're not that guy, you just share an IP.) It's great to have voices of sanity contributing to the discussion. Thanks for your two cents worth of Hope. Keep the Change."

[Spaceman One]

I just wish that the Big O supporters such as Emile can move away from their sexist, ageist and ableist rhetoric. Let Obama fill your hearts with hope and change, and free your mind of hate.

[The Lib]

A reasonable, thought-out defense for Irwin's POV is not coming, because it doesn't exist. You'll just get more pithy provocation. Irwin is a "Republican" for the sole and consistent purpose of rubbing it in the face of the liberal status quo at WFMU.

[Moe]

Provocation! It all makes sense now. Irwin and Kenny G ARE the same person.

[K]

Indeed. He's like the kid that would run around the playground while we would all line up on cold winters morning to get into the school, stomping on everyones toes. Eventually someone would pop him one, and he'd run off satisfied. It was kinda funny to watch, but you wondered what his home life must have been like.

[I Gonzaga Ippolita]

Irwin reminds me of the person who goes to the market and buys some green bananas and then goes home and waits 4 days for them to ripe and finally makes a smoothie in the blender with a delicious gluten-free chocolate protein powder.

Is this the world we want our children to live in?

[pat]

Aaaaah, leave Irwin alone. Who cares if he is politically retarded?? His show is gre-- Actually his show is ok I guess, but he's still a nice guy.

[hazmania]

Hey Irwin,
Ever notice how much more caustic and hostile these opposing comments always sound? You would think these same people always demanding handouts would be more courteous.

"Every election is a sort of advance auction sale of stolen goods." - Mencken

[Listner Jim]

Interesting that you would quote Mencken, hazmania. He was about as elitist as they come.
