I don't like this man at all...I hate the way he thinks, he seems to feel everyone should think as he does. He's a very unfair person when interviewing people, and just because he had a so they say, middle class up bringing he seems to think everyone in the world aslo has too. I was glad when they took his lousy show off of the air on tv. I saw him on Larry King tonight and even Larry King seemed to get annoyed with him. I am not a mean or cruel person, but as far as how I feel about Larry Elder... I honestly wish he didn't even exist!!....and I am a white woman Larry Elder. You seem to think that by agreeing with everything white that it makes you white.........IT DOES NOT!!

Miss him on the radio. One of the best minds to have been on the airwaves. Very little rocked his thinking.

A lousey excuse for a conservative. Shouldn't be reated as high as he is. Syndication was a bomb!

Brillant - or maybe smart - but realistic

Give him a lot of respect for saying what is right, not what is politically correct. Even if you don't agree with everything he says, his thoughts are well reasoned rather than rant. He has more credibility than most talk show hosts.

Thank you Larry for being a minority voice that tells it the way it is and will be until a race of people decide that their problems are not caused by another race, but by the lack of self-reliance on their own part. The Sage indeed, "Move On Up" by Curtis Mayfield (some of Larry's bumper music) should be an inspirational song not just for the black race, but for any man trying to better himself, which is, I believe, the messege Larry send's everyday. Keep it up!!!

I don't enjoy (or even listen to anymore) his show as much as I did when it was strictly broadcast in L.A. He used to deal with local and state politics more and this was his golden age before he made his journey to becoming a Republican. Larry is not a Republican. He is a Libertarian. I always enjoyed his relentlessly critical thinking mind and the fact that he never gave liberals an inch. He conceptually blocked them off from all the usual hyperbolic and emotional tactics they commonly use. The Sage from South Central dared to stray from the Liberal Plantation of acceptable thought and people on the left detested him for it. Especially since he argued on behalf of his positions so well. There was no one more necessary to/for the sanity of post race riots L.A. than Larry Elder. Like his billboard used to state In your heart, you know he's right.

I dont see the problem with Larry Elder. He is very intelligent and unlike many blacks today he is not a VICTIM. He does not blame the rest of the world for his problems. As a black woman I know the plight of African Americans but we cannot play the victim forever and blame the rest of the world for our actions and mistakes. He teaches INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTABILITY which is something we should all teach our children. I understand the problems of blacks but what are we going to do??? Stay poor with 10 children from 8 different men and blame the WHITE MAN for this?? Come on!!! Take control of your life! The only thing that holds you back is YOU!!!

Why the so low rating for this guy? He is the most intelligent guy on talk radio today. His views are always backed by analytical facts and his not afraid to defend and debate his positions. Although I don't always agree with him, he gets my respect! Above all he champions INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS! Something that many people seem to have forgotten!

Intelligent, witty and the most consistent radio voice for individual liberty Elder is probably the most underrated talk show host on the air. Only flaws are a tendency to inflame when reasoned arguments could do better and he tends to be repetive. He values facts over feelings, justice over compassion, and liberty over everything. Weathering death threats and attempts to get him thrown off the air he emerged unscarred and unchanged in his views. Practices the same courage that he preaches.

The very best in LA. Rush is a raving drug-addict, O'Reilly is persecuted, Sean speaks only from his talking points. Only Larry provides fresh insight and passion to concervative talk radio.

I watch the show sometimes, but have to shut it off because I'm ashame and disgusted to how guests are (Minorities)regarding race issues. It seems because he is successful, he expects everyone else to be the same. Most people are not as fortunate as Larry Elder, who may not have the same intelligent factor as him and true they do have worked just as hard to maintain a self of dignity for a lesser education or job. He tends to talk down to his guests because of his education, yes he is entitled to his beliefs,but do believe he loses touch with black struggles here in America, Racism is here today and is alive. On his show he tends cut people short before they can expain their point but manage to intervene and make his point then break to a commercial, which is rude and demeaning to his guests.

Very entertaining writer and show host, very disarming in most conversations, not that his views aren't strident and deeply felt, he has an admirable manner for eliciting conversation from others. k.t., what version of English is that, I'm not familiar with the dialect? Most business owners do not have the luxury of bringing their racial discrimination to work with them. In a competitive business, skilled workers are very hard to find and keep. What job are you skilled in that you can't find work and what on earth does that have to do with Larry Elder?

k.t recently moved to iowa would have never thought myself to be a racist until moving to iowa desmoines thatis being a native of colorado have never witnessed so much racism before in my life so many jobs economy is cheap but the only professional or skilled people that are allowed too work here our whites and they do call people colored in iowa to say iowa was not one of many slave states but in my readings on this city i did come to find that this state did not want to except minorities and they still aer not excepting unless your pretty much quote un quote white washed and i don't think i should have to change who i am to get a job that i am skilled in.

This man personifies a true American. Through his words, opinions, and demeanor (courteous and respectful) he presents himself as an individual without personal bias (Defined as one who discerns another through their actions and words not their physical attributes). He is conservative and logical in his views and consistently supports his positions with facts and hard examples. He accepts difficult issues and discusses them fairly and directly. Go Larry!!!!!

There is not a better Talk show host in America today. I listen to Larry every day on my drive home, and though I don't agree with him on every subject, I always respect him. His strength of character demands that you respect him, his integrity demands that you respect him. Larry always backs up his point with facts, not feelings. Larry has ventured into the lion's den, literaly, to debate and express his beliefs. His motto is,I absolutely will not back down, and he doesn't. As popular as Larry is with the general population, here in California, he is not well liked by the African American community in Los Angeles, simply because he is not afraid to speak his mind and go against the grain, regarding issues that are popular with most minorities, such as Afirmative Action. Larry just happens to be African American, which is not an issue with Larry, but is with many of his callers. I think I speak for many of us here in L.A, when I say that we await the day, Larry Elder, throws his hat in the political arena.
