Oregon Media Insiders

Only in the always-looking-for-something-to-be-outraged-about universe of Lars Larson could "managed to flunk" somehow be reasonably inferred as lying. Puleeeze! And BTW, where did Larson's proud military service occur?

Anyone who never was in the military, went through basic or served their country in the armed services should stay very far away from being critical of people who did, or attempted to do.

Larson is nothing more than a windbag looking for ratings. Personally, I could care less what this cheap knock-off of Rush Limbaugh thinks.

Lynn, Lars may have only been 15 when Vietnam ended, but he could have still done military service three years later and fought in several wars.

At least Hartmann enlisted. It is no crime to fail basic training.

Lars would have been about 23 when the U.S. fought in Grenada. Why didn't he join then?

Nicely done!

He's in top form, making sure others look bad for whatever reason, while at the same time ignoring the hyopcracy and crime he promotes, in the form of the GOP, each day.

That will get him some numbers, which is all he is about these days.

Afraid to put up my criticism about the 15 year old never serving?

It's YOUR site...censor however & whenever you want!

That's it, subject says it all.

Back OT: Thom is smarter than to allow this to fester. He's gonna say what needs to be said, then take a non-escalating position from there. His real focus is advocacy for the middle class and America in general.

Hartmann saying he was honorably discharged is meaningless. If he faked his way to flunking the physical, then the deception would get him the honorable discharge.

So that is no explanation. The question is whether he faked something to flunk. Only he can answer that, and at this point, who could possibly prove whatever he says wrong?

Personally, I would be interested to hear the details of his flunking the physical. He will be on air talking about the war, talking about Bush, perhaps saying Bush lied us into the war ...

If he enlisted to avoid getting drafted, then "managed to flunk" the physical when it became clear that he might face dangerous duty, I think it is relevant.

guy that is now working for KATU?

is able to continually get people's panties in a wad proves that what he's doing works. If everyone ignored him...nothing would happen. Guess what? Everybody isn't ignoring him. That is all that really matters. Love him, hate him, he's there. Drives some of ya nuts, don't it?
BTW, there won't be any "war" between Lars and Hartmann. Unless you call "spin" a war. If you like Hartmann and hate Lars, Hartmann wins. No matter what. End of story. And vice versa. Nothing to see here...move along.

struck back. Lars is a large target. A veritable hot air balloon, easy to puncture.
Only the radical right wing yapping poodles pay any attention to Lars. He's laughable, a buffoon.
And he's never recovered from being chopped into little bits by Randi Rhodes on her debut show when Lars called and suffered a major beat-down by Rhodes.

Thoms has a decision to make:

Either engage Lars and join the circus...or engage America and be part of the solution. I've got my fingers crossed and my dollars committed..

Larson, who cracked the Heavy 100 in Talkers 2007, - as did Hartman, should quit "reasonably inferring" anything and check the info out for himself before suggesting Hartman broke a federal law.
I can't believe how people can listen to Larson and not wonder where he would stand "on the issues" if a few Ds and Rs were rearranged.

What a bore.

In the past two years, KPOJ has risen from Twenty-something in the ratings to Top Five, at the local Fox Noise Channel's expense.

It's all at www.radioandrecords.com and it is not pretty.

Lars trends older than O'Reilly, meaning he's going for the "I Remember The 1929 Depression (not Bush's) Like It Was Yesterday" crowd in their Depends.
