GREAT & FUN SHOW!!!!!!!!!

Lionel is one of the last people on the radio worth hearing. He's level headed, unbiased, logical, witty, and occasionally damn funny. If you don't like him, listen to the blather from the mouths of Hannity, O'Reilly, Bortz, or the drug riddled brain of Limbaugh. Lionel makes sense and doesn't lie or exaggerate.

Now the people that don't understand Lionel can go back to kneeling before their framed pictures of Dub-uh-yuh and "Dick" Cheney and worship them for lying and exaggerating to the world.

What is this guy doing on AirAmerica Radio?

Awful - like chalk on the blackboard. I switch the station whenever he is on. How much longer do we have to endure this?

My God, is his show stupid or what? Air America did something very stupid taking Sam Seder off the air and substituting him with this guy. What are they thinking??????

This guy is just rude, if he does not agree with you he cuts you off, or just talks over you, or may even plays weird sounds, I guess he thinks he is a god......

Absolutley awful. You've got to be kidding me. This guy has a job? It's the only show on AirAmerica (XM) that I turn OFF.

Great show! Very entertaining, I'm tired of the same o same o from the other host. Bush is an idiot and has done everything imaginable to destroy the country for 6 years now. ITS OLD NEWS, the people hasn't done anything about it and never will. Lionel brings a little bit of everything and is funny.

I hated Lionel when I first heard the show but anything beats Springer. Even though he doesn't know anything about politics, civility, manners, subtlety or dairy farming he has grown on me. Very witty. Very well read. Very egotistical. Very cruel (just have the radio on in the background when you call in and he asks you to go and turn it up).
Still, he makes me laugh when most media makes me cry.

I actually wanted to give a minus 6 rating, but it wasn't available. Some guy who purpored to be an ex vice cop called in a said he was was in on a drug bust where they lobbed gernades in on a house full of drug dealers... turned out to be family of what ever. The guy finally asked himself "what the hell have I done", subsequently quit whatever agency he was working for and became some sorta proponent of abandoning all laws against any drugs. Then made the comment "children in school are being taught to hate police officers, AS THEY SHOULD BE". The pedantic nanowit Lionel, who obviously has a MABS (that would be Master of Arts in Bull Shit), gleefully lauded his caller, probably peeing in his pants in the process...proving yet again a mind was NOT a terrible thing to waste.
WHAT AN ASSININE ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!

Please bring back Sam Seder. this guy is so into himself, he's hard to listen to. One time I heard him have a really good political show with guests and that was it. I don't need to learn about this idiot and his megalomaniacal rants. Please get rid of him and bring back Sam. I listen to Air America for political news not Lionel news.

I heard Lionel a few weeks ago ask the open question "What will you tell your child about this (Iraq) war?" Some poor guy calls in and says "I'll tell him it was for oil." Lionel hangs up and berates the guy for not being expository enough. Lionel is drek! And I wish he would stop voting for himself on this site. Praying for Seder's quick return. Ronito6, Osaka, Japan

He seems to be cut and pasting to vote for himself from radioratingz.com so I thought I would do the same

Very entertaining, smart, interesting. The best thing to happen to Air America. I have heard he has ratings are more than 250% above Sam Seders. I love how he is rude to 'STUPID callers!
He is bringing in listners by the bus load!

His voice is grating. He insults and makes fun of his callers. An older woman called in awhile ago with her radio on in the background. Instead of asking her to turn her radio down, Lionel told her to move closer to her radio repeatedly and then hung up on her. How nice. This is supposed to bring in new listeners to AAR? This is the show that is supposed to pull in ratings? Lionel will often misunderstand a caller's point and do one of the following: hang up on them, insult them, or play the cricket noise (which is totally HILARIOUS). From what I've heard of his show (I gave it about a month before I stoppd listening), he doesn't go in depth about important political issues and will instead spend hours discussing topics like Paris Hilton or Anna Nicole Smith. He sometimes goes off on tangents that are about a whole lot of nothing-the kind of tangent you'd expect from a drunk person at a bar. Oh, also, he passes gas on the air. That's another little bonus I forgot to mention. Awhile back he had on the psychotic Bill Donahue and got mad when people were outraged. Bill Donahue is the president of the Catholic League and is an anti-Semite sexist who hates gays and believes Jews are taking over the "Liberal Media". He had him on to talk about the terrible persecution Christians face in this country. When people reacted less than kindly to this loser, Lionel verbally berated them for not "thinking critically". In other words, for not giving Donahue the psychopath and his persecution complex the time of day. This guy is the pits. I don't see how he is going to bring in ratings for AAR.

This show is pretty horrible. I would rather listen to the commercials in between segments! Lots of dead air non-sensical blabber and overall retardation. The only good part is when he makes fun of rush, colter, or bush.

He's not entertaining or interesting. He's often rude to callers. I don't like him!

Oh my God this guy is the worst thing to happen to Air America Radio. He's a fucking prick! He constantly talks down to his audience as if they are not intelligent enough to understand the conversation. He doesn't seem to understand that he's not dealing with a right-wing audience and that the majority of Air America listeners are very educated, so his tone comes off as very condescending. They should dump this guy quick!

Overall rating = ZERO
Has the the WORST radio voice I've ever heard.
Is he liberal or conserrvative? You can't tell because he just rambles on about nothing.
Everytime I turn on my radio and he's on, I turn him OFF. He's alway marching to a different drummer.
If everyone's talking about Scooter Libby, Lionel's talking about circumcision ... or something stupid.
And ? Green, the CEO of Air America said, listeners would be pleasantly surprised. ROFLMAO!
Why would Progressive listeners want to listen to a Republican TSH? ROFLMAO!!
I'm UNpleasantly sickened when I even have to hear him for ONE second.
It's a miracle AAR even survived bankruptcy.
Lionel? No stars. He sucks.
He stands for nothing, therefore he talks nothing.

I must admit that I have not listened to this show---but after hearing promos for it, I must say that I can not stand to hear his grating voice, and he DOES sound sophomoric!

Rachel Maddow is my favorite--very smart lady with a great sense of humor.

This guy is garbage, he is horrible with callers and bad on the issues, I am noit even sure where this guy stands on anything.
