NARN “THE FINAL WORD” TODAY FROM 3-5 P.M.
By Michael B. Brodkorb | September 6, 2008
I’ll be on the radio today for a two-hour program from 3-5 p.m. with King Banaian of SCSU Scholars on AM 1280 The Patriot.
Before you listen to King and me, make sure you listen to the first four hours of the Northern Alliance Radio Network. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. you can hear Power Line’s John Hinderaker and Chad and Brian from Fraters Libertas. Mitch Berg and Captain Ed are on the air from 1-3 pm.
I encourage you to all to listen. Broadcasts can be heard on AM 1280 The Patriot, which has an Internet stream for those outside the Twin Cities. Brave Democrats and proud Republicans can join the conversation at (651) 289-4488.
UPDATE: Jan Schneider, the GOP endorsed candidate in HD 41B, was a guest of show from 4-4:10 p.m.

Michael, I was disappointed in your Narn appearance yesterday. Defending the decisions made to alter RNC events due to the hurricane could have been easily done without resorting to the name-calling and personal defensiveness that I heard. You were already making a fabulous case and I supported your views. I understand that it would be challenging to be put on the spot by hearing Chad’s comments for the first time live on air. But this is something I thought you would have been able to handle with professionalism. It’s done on the Sunday news shows every week and most guests are able to recognize and separate the debate over issues from personal attacks. Even though I side with you on the RNC decisions, Chad had valid points which he expressed in a professional manner. I cringed at your response and your personal defensiveness. Calling Chad a moron and an idiot caused you to lose credibility. Interpreting his argument as jabbing and insulting you resulted in you coming across as defensive, immature, arrogant and unprofessional to listeners of the show. I support your cause and am disappointed that the way you handled yourself on the show may result in some people losing respect for you. I strongly feel that you could regain that respect if you made amends either on air or through your site and/or Narn’s.

Melissa–In order to LOSE credibility, you must first HAVE credibility.

Congratulations. You have now identified the inherent weakness in Michael Brodkorb Inc.
He is a great opposition research guy, and he does a magnificent job of parroting the party line on any number of issues. But if you stray from the thoughts and ideas that the party has previously articulated, his ability to form independent, rational thought is terribly retarded. His refusal to say anything not pre-approved by the party is what causes him to frequently get backed into the corner and respond with name calling.
Michael is a good pipeline for what the republicans want you to hear, but there is a reason why he is not used by the traditional media here as more of a resource. He can’t share his opinion without referring to his notes (which all happen to come on elephant-lined letterhead).

Micheal,
Dont’t listen to that jerk Chad. You took time out of your schedule to assist with huricane relief. The way he treated you was disrespectful and he should apologize.
