Mods.... Can someone fix my title?!? Should read BOYLES
What if I like that spelling... [LOL]
They give a reason?
Yup... Kyle what's-his-face said, "he choked a guy and got fired"
Yeah, just found that.. Should have figured..
Can't say I'm real sorry to see him go.
Him and his producer got into a fight the day Tom Tancredo announced his run for governor on the show. I listened to the show that morning but it didn't seem all that bad at the time.
really, that sucks
What was the fight about?Quote:

Man, I was getting real tired of Peter's super negative attitude about the state of the country. Yes, it's bad, but he talked like it was absolutely hopeless and the right should just give up. Fuck off Pete. I'm not giving up.
Yeah, He was Blaming Bush more than Obama was.[Tooth]Quote:

Just another Talking Head...good riddance
Meh, he had some good things about him. Also had some bad.
Wonder if he will retire or somebody picks him up?
He's working behind the counter at Gunsmoke now.
Steer Clear Channel has very long and strong tentacles. Maybe he'll be on 760, KFBN.Quote:

i think it was all about the money, other fill in's save khow a boat load of cash in his time slot...Whether you liked peter or not, he did put his foot in the sand and drew a line. I appreciate that, since now everybody wants to be wishy washy on their positions...
Pete had some great guests, Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch, Pam Geller, authors, finance people, and many more. I'll miss that.
Pete railed alot on Bush, I got tired of it.
One of the strategies behind the Iraq war was to draw terrorists to Iraq and kill them in Iraq instead of having the terrorists come to the United States and murder American citizens. Thousands of jihadis took the bait, went to Iraq and died, that was a good thing. Pete never brought this up, I was disappointed that he didn't.
Interesting theory. Where did you come up with that? (Resources?)Quote:

On Boyles, meh. It would only affect me if his replacement is inadequate. I am sure he will find work.
From a Bush Speech in 2005 - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...113000667.html - edited to say - I read about this part of the strategy some time ago, this speech is just the first hit I came across when I googled Iraq strategy.Quote:

They would be plotting and killing Americans across the world and within our own borders. By fighting these terrorists in Iraq, Americans in uniform are defeating a direct threat to the American people.
Well Mike Rosen has kicked Sirota's ass many times and has gotten away with it.
Clear Channel owns KHOW.... Big corp.
H.R. got ahold of this (if anyone has 'experienced' an H.R. dept.= 99.999% libs)
They dont care, and right/wrong....???
What happened to the sheik- he still there?
Caldera is cool too...........will miss Peter for sure!!!!
Why would they? Because they are not the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree. And whether or not you believe it was an intentional strategy, it was widely discussed as a tactic, and in point of fact its what happened to a great extent. A lot of non-Iraqi extremists flocked to Iraq, instead of heading for the US or Europe. And died there.Quote:

While I often diagreed with PB, he always made me think about things. He often had good guests and I think one of the best radio shows around.
I'll miss yelling at him on my morning commutes.
He'll be rehired in a month or so. (Hope) Boyles will help Tancredo. Not sure what the Sheik was doing to piss him off, but he sure is no following in Boyles footsteps of a good talk radio host. He has a dating show, and would talk sports when he filled in at times. Didn't understand the audience. Clearchannel owns KHOW ,KOA and the lib station also, there is no where else to go. Rehire him you bastards!
Used to listen to him during drive time. The only reason I ever listened to KHOW/Clear Channel. He was the local guy. I quit listening during the whole John Bennett cluster fawk. Too much arm chairing...
Haven't listened to him in a few years. My drive time is about 10:00 now.
Anymore, it's podcasts while blasting down the road. [Neene3]
It sounds like his show went down hill. Too bad.
Annoying as hell. All I really remember from his show was babbling about birth certificates and giving Rich Wyatt sexual favors on the air.
Jon Caldara is a huge improvement. I would happily listen to a station that was all him, Rosen, and Phil Hendrie.
Pete was strongly anti-illegal immigrant and also spoke out against the financial condition the government has gotten us into.
IMHO,There is more happening with him being terminated, besides the Boyles/hollenbek dust up. There were no sacred cows with Pete and lot's of Political enemies from the mansion to the town council. Do i agree with Boyles across the board? no way. Did he beat a dead child model to death over and over, absolutely. Yet his attacks and criticism over the handling, investigation , dog & pony bs with that child molester they extradited from Sumyoung boy in SEA was spot on. NO ONE to date outed Hancock and others dalliances at denver sugar. Condemnation of the DA and judicial system with Pat Sullivan. No one even in the wee hours of news sensationalism dares to shine a light on the political and judicial corruption CO has been ignoring.Quote:

I imagine Clear Channel will seek approval from the powers-that-be before getting a new morning host.Quote:
