( – promoted by DavidThi808) How Talk Radio won the 2010 elections for the Republicans. I first sounded the alarm about the power of Republican control of the public radio airwaves at the height of the Obama honeymoon blush and BTP, (Before the Tea Party) A lively debate on this blog ensured. This is what […]
(A con man? No way (ahem). – promoted by Colorado Pols) I was waiting to post this until KHOW got the podcast posted. Friday morning past, Boyles interviewed Freda Poundstone, well known Republican former mayor of Greenwood Village. Politically she and I probably will not agree on a lot of things. But I’ve never gotten […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE #4: What follows, from the Peter Boyles show on KHOW this morning, is possibly the most disastrous media appearance of Dick Wadhams’ political career–and as the man who handled the response to George Allen’s “Macaca” moment, that’s no small statement. Can’t see the audio player? Click here. […]
According to Tancredo this morning on the Boyles’s show. Wadhams calls TT a liar and then Boyles jumps in and says he has heard the same thing from Wadhams. Boyles says Wadhams has told him a number of times that both of the candidates are jokers. It was fireworks as the Republican party continues to […]
UPDATE #4: Speaking with talk-radio host Peter Boyles this morning, Tom Tancredo said “I’m up for it, I’d do it, but I don’t know how we can get it done” in response to a question about running for governor himself. (H/T dwyer, MADCO) UPDATE #3: Be that as it may, now up on Scott McInnis’ […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) It seems like an age has gone by since the Denver media, gamely led by the bygone Rocky Mountain News, was in full-bore media frenzy over a CU professor named Ward Churchill. And who was leading the frenzy, calling for the firing of Churchill after it was determined he […]
As the Colorado Independent’s Joseph Boven reports: Democratic candidate for governor John Hickenlooper defended himself last week against mounting accusations from Republicans that, as mayor, he has run Denver as a so-called sanctuary city, where illegal immigrants are directly and indirectly protected against federal immigration laws and possible deportation. It’s a charge that has gained […]
Sometimes it seems that if you flutter from radio station to radio station in your car, like I do, and you light for more than a few minutes on a conservative talk show, you inevitably hear the host slamming journalism, not just The Denver Post or a specific story, but journalism in general. I’m not […]
UPDATE:: From MSNBC, here’s how a smart Republican candidate handles this question: “While I don’t believe Arizona’s policy was based on anything other than trying to get a handle on our broken borders, I think aspects of the law, especially that dealing with ‘reasonable suspicion,’ are going to put our law enforcement officers in an […]
As discussed on the AM760 morning show, Republican gubernatorial frontrunner Scott McInnis just declared his support for Arizona’s controversial immigration/racial profiling law, saying that “I would do something very similar” in Colorado if elected governor in 2010. We clipped the audio excerpt from his interview with Peter Boyles this morning. You can find that audio […]
He lauded Gov. Jan Brewer on the Caplis and Silverman talk radio show this morning. The Colorado Independent has the story: On the Peter Boyles talk radio show Wednesday morning, Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis said that if he were governor, he would seek to pass the same kind of harsh anti-illegal immigration laws recently […]
Tom Tancredo was speaking to his old friends in South Carolina yesterday. Having spoken from a Confederate-flag-bedecked podium there in 2006 to a crowd of Southern secessionists, and having joined them in singing “Dixie,” he was apparently feeling exhilarated once again and whipped up the crowd by crying that Obama should be sent “back to […]
Between the heated discussions on the Wheat Ridge billboard and continued talk of the President’s “real” birthplace, I found myself enraged a bit this morning. And then I thought, “Hasn’t the “Birther” issue been decided in court already? And if so, why do these “birthers” hate the Constitution and it’s legal system?” So after some […]
What is our country coming to? Earlier today, we learned about an offensive, racist billboard right here in Colorado–attacking President Obama and comparing him to terrorists. The billboard was created by Wolf Automotive, at their location here in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Check out the photo to the right, then join the pledge to boycott. http://www.ProgressNowColorado.org/WolfAuto […]
Stunning, I know. Have you turned your ballot in yet? Probably not: In Denver County, 12,476 ballots had been returned by Friday. Another 883 yesterday, and 5,986 today. 311,123 remain outstanding one week before they are due to be in the hands of the Denver Election Commission. Nothing to vote for you say? Maybe, but […]
As the Denver Post reports:
A initiative on the November ballot aims to toughen Denver’s impound ordinance, guaranteeing that people caught driving without a license will end up paying a $2,500 bond to get the car out of the impound lot, even if a valid license is sitting at home on the counter…
The Denver vehicle impound law that voters passed last year was designed to keep unlicensed drivers off the road. It gives police officers the ability to use their discretion about whether to impound a car.
If this new initiative passes in November, police officers will be required to impound the car of every driver without a license.
City Council member Doug Linkhart said that city impound lots are overflowing with vehicles of people who cannot afford to get them out…
Linkhart said that Denver police officers are opposed to the law and the initiative.
“Their job, by definition, is discretion,” Linkhart said.
What this really comes back to is illegal immigrant hysterics, of course, but it’s still unusual to see this plainly counterproductive a measure make the ballot. Peter Boyles and half a dozen Minuteman crackpots may think this is a good idea, the rest of us have left our wallet on the counter enough times to know better. A measure drafted totally ignorant of its effects–the way only real crazies can draft them. Doug Bruce, call him what you will, knew what he was doing.
Between this overkill nonsense and Craig Silverman calling for people who “look like a Muslim” to have their “puchases tracked,” we think some serious getting of a grip is in order, folks.

In the spirit of a week already thick with examples of GOP regettable behavior, Colorado Media Matters dutifully reports: KHOW’s Boyles repeatedly distorted Rep. DeGette’s name with female genital reference Discussing President Obama’s signing of the economic recovery bill at a ceremony in Denver, 630 KHOW-AM’s Peter Boyles on his February 18 program repeatedly referred […]
Tom Lucero who is already filed to challenge Markey in CD-4 in 2010, has launched his campaign website. The vocal republican is expected to compete in a hard fought primary against many republicans that are expected to line up for the spot to run against Markey. Tom Lucero currently represents the 4th Congressional District as […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) How crazy are right-wing talk show hosts like Peter Boyles for “entertaining” fabricated stories like the one over Obama’s birth certificate? Every single day since the election many right-wingers, much like the delusional Marilyn Musgrave, are having a hard time coming to grips with reality and admitting defeat, so […]
Barack Obama’s grandmother has died of cancer. And the response in certain Republican circles is: Obama timed her death for political purposes! Is it any wonder the GOP is headed for a colossal shellacking in the polls? http://www.abovetopsecret.com/… Here is a quote from one heartless Republican. Note that this is the very first, immediate – […]
There seems to be a disturbing trend out there of many on the left being unable to handle any sort of humor directed at the presumptive Democratic Party candidate. Listening to Mike Boyles show yesterday morning, I heard a guest talk about how comedians were afraid to make any jokes at Obamas’ expense because they’d […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) The neo-conservative Weekly Standard published a piece by Fred Barnes this week entitled “The Colorado Model: The Democrats Plan for turning red states blue.” It’s essentially a woe-is-us exploration of the transformation of Colorado politics from 2004. But in the last two election cycles–2004 and 2006–they’ve routed Republicans, capturing […]
( – promoted by Colorado Pols) An ICE agent who allegedly broke the law by accessing a federal criminal database for political purposes is on trial and new testimony has exposed the Beauprez campaign, the Colorado Republican party and others as unethical liars who were disturbingly desperate to win the 2006 Colorado gubernatorial campaign. Cory […]
By Frosty Wooldridge The Political Prosecution of Immigration Enforcement Agent Cory Voorhis! On a dark night over a year ago on the U.S./Mexican border, drug smuggler, Osvaldo Aldrette-Davila, a Mexican national, attempted to cross into the United States with his load of contraband. That load included corruption, deadly drugs, addictions for our children, crime […]
