(Babblin' Beauprez strikes again – Promoted by Colorado Pols) As reported by The Denver Post Wedneday, gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez told KNUS-radio yapper Peter Boyles that he would not allow young immigrants from poverty-stricken Central American countries to be housed anywhere in Colorado while they await deportation decisions. But Beauprez's explanation for his young-migrant ban, which […]
(Um, what? – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Remember this Denver Post headline, after the June 24 Republican primary: "In Bob Beauprez, Colorado GOP goes with mainstream contender." I rolled my eyes at the time because, I'd been following Beauprez for years and knew him to be far outside the mainstream, as seen in his support for replacing […]
Craig Silverman returned to Denver’s radio waves a couple weeks ago, as you may know if you saw my recent blog post criticizing him for failing to challenge senatorial candidate Cory Gardner’s assertion that Sen. Mark Udall is simply “trying to distract voters” by attacking Gardner for his extreme anti-choice record, which isn’t “top of […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Talk-radio hosts like to think of themselves as a voice of the people, because anyone can call in (and get slapped around, if you're on the wrong show). But there's some truth to the notion that talk radio can give average people a platform. So you hate to see a guy […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I've been too busy listening to talk radio to notice news reports that talk radio anchored the defeat of GOP House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Politico reported Wednesday: Brat’s surprise victory is a powerful reminder, as if any were needed, of the immense influence talk radio has over conservative politics — […]
“We love this guy,” said KNUS radio host Peter Boyles, as he introduced gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo and asked him about the demise of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. “If I were a drinking man, I’d have been drunk last night,” Tancredo told Boyles. “I’d have been celebrating like crazy. I still went to bed […]
Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Gessler launched an ad yesterday attacking his rival Tom Tancredo as a loser because Tanc lost his 2010 campaign for governor. The conservative radio world isn't buying Gessler's attack. In a conversation with Tancredo a couple weeks ago, here's what KNUS' Dan Caplis had to say on the topic: CAPLIS: I like Scott, […]
CORRECTION: I missed a May 7 Denver Post article, by Lynn Bartels, reporting that Tancredo “has been told conservative outside groups will spend money to make sure he doesn’t win the primary for governor, rather than helping him afterward.” ———————— Reacting to Lynn Bartels’ Denver Post article today reporting that Republicans are trying to push […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) I was all set to write a blog post this morning about Scott Gessler saying on the radio that his Republican gubernatorial opponents are all losers, including Mike Kopp who, Gessler said, presided over the Republicans' disastrous legislative-election collapse in 2010. Gessler told KNUS talk-radio host Jimmy Sengenberger a couple weeks ago: […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) ColoradoPols has called on gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo to address rumors that "GOP power-brokers" are pushing for him to be Superintendent of Jefferson County Schools. Pols didn't get into whether Tancredo, who's currently leading the gubernatorial GOP primary field, would be a logical selection for the Tea-Party-controlled Jeffco School Board. No […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) If you really want to understand the dynamic playing out right now among conservative candidates battling each other to defeat their primary-election opponents, I might suggest you tune to conservative talk radio, even if it's only for the next couple of months while the primary process unfolds. You might ask, as […]
(How ingratiating – Promoted by Colorado Pols) I wrote a blog post a while back regurgitating rocker Ted Nugent's appearance on KNUS Peter Boyles' show, where Nugent said Colorado is the poster child of "moral dereliction" and the Republican Party has "no balls" because someone cut off "their scrotum with a rusty shiv.” Exciting stuff that […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Just after gubernatorial candidate Tom Tancredo departed from from KNUS' Peter Boyles show this morning, where Boyles told his listeners, "If there's a god, [Tancredo] becomes governor," Tancredo talked about immigration with Dan Caplis, whose KNUS radio show starts right after Boyles'. Caplis: If you had that power, right now, what […]
(Let's set reality aside for a moment – Promoted by Colorado Pols) POLS UPDATE: Apropos to the original post, here's a flyer circulating for a Laura Woods event hosted by Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, who seems to be throwing down hard in the SD-19 GOP primary against Lang Sias: Come for the meeting, stay for the […]
(Um, okay… – promoted by Colorado Pols) One of the leaders and spokespeople of the campaign to recall State Sen. Evie Hudak was a woman allegedly named Laura Waters. During the height of the Hudak recall campaign, "Waters" was on 710 KNUS Peter Boyles show almost daily, attacking Hudak and whipping up the radio crowd […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Reporters don't always offer differing views in trivial news stories about a speech or a minor partisan event. It's nice, but you don't expect it, like you would in more significant stories. Such was the case in yesterday's one-sided Denver Post article about a speech by Republican operatives saying the next […]
(Ted Nugent, everyone – Promoted by Colorado Pols) From the moment after KNUS Peter Boyles' introduced him, rocker Ted Nugent delivered a bizarre series of insults and slurs on Denver radio this morning, saying the "media in this country is basically Joseph Goebbels' propaganda ministry" and singing his "New American National Anthem," which consisted only […]
If you’re lucky enough to listen to conservative talk radio, instead of having a real job, you know that some GOP candidates are staying away from Tea-Party groups and radio shows, others are sliding up close to the Tea Party, and some Republicans are Tea-Party-Pure, fully embracing the Tea Party, without hesitation or protection. Speaking […]
One of the biggest political stories of last year has got to be the escalating war between the Republican Party establishment, the so-called “country-club Republicans,” and the Tea-Party wing. Trying to predict how this story will play out in 2014 may be crazy, given what we’ve seen since the Tea Party’s inception, but it’s still […]
(Deny, deflect, rinse, repeat – Promoted by Colorado Pols) Yesterday on KNUS, a Hudak-recall leader said that facts, documented Wed. by Fox 31's Eli Stokols, that a criminal is collecting signatures to put the recall measure on the ballot, are "just another tactic of the left." Yet, reporters should know, the two recall leaders, Mike […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) CLARIFICATION 11-10-2013: The Colorado Statesman’s Peter Marcus originally reported that Recall Hudak Too hired two young staffers who are involved in the signature-gathering effort, but Marcus found no evidence at the time (Marcus’ article was published Oct. 28.) that Kennedy Enterprises was on the payroll. He also reported that RMGO promised […]
On Channel 12's "Colorado Inside Out" Friday, , the Independence Institute's Dave Kopel, whose gun connections run deep, said it's a "tall hill to climb" for the Hudak-recall campaign to collect 19,000 signatures required to trigger a vote on the recall measure. Today, speaking on KNUS radio, Hudak-recall spokeswoman Laura Waters (appearing with her colleague […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Yesterday, Fox 31 Denver reported that GOP Chairman Ryan Call doesn't support the latest recall effort against Democratic Senator Evie Hudak, saying the recall could "undermine" Republican efforts to win elections next year. But Fox 31 didn't report who is backing the Hudak recall effort. That would be Dudley Brown, Director […]
(Another UN conspiracy theorist in the Colorado Senate! Elections matter – promoted by Colorado Pols) Boyles, saying Monday he thinks the United Nations Small Arms Treaty, signed Wednesday by the United States, might really be aimed at bringing on world government. If a really smart guy like Boyles chooses to spread lies about the Treaty, […]
(Promoted by Colorado Pols) Yesterday, I urged reporters to keep an eye on a sub-plot that's emerged in the wake of the Republican recall victories: The "liberty" wing of the state GOP has apparently been re-energized by the election, and this could lead not only to a civil war among Colorado Republicans but also to […]
