To: TalkOFFLine -- Your grammer and so forth - Where's Lurch Caring Soul, 14:14:49 01/22/03 Wed
IF YOUR LISTENING TO TALK RADIO,IT'S WRITTEN HERE
ATLANTIC COUNTIES HOME FOR TALK RADIO OPINION SHARING
This is the exact spelling and grammer. etc. from WhackOline, aka TalkOFFline.
Where is Lurch, aka as "The Caring Soul" - you know, Mr. Grammer Man. The word "YOUR" should be "You're," as in you are. there are other mistakes.
Where is Mr. Grammer Lurch Caring Soul?
Oh, that's right, he only picks on his Mentor, which most pupils never do, by the way.
Please correct this sloppy and inarticulate grammer asap.
E-Rate,missing $$$$???? -- talkonline, 09:36:05 01/22/03 Wed
HEY!....WHUT the HECK is going on??? WHO got the MONEY? I'm opening this topic for discussion and links to data available online. Here's one,CLICK HERE....some rules about E-RATE funds. (rules for 2003) but I am assuming-(uh-O), that certain rules apply retroactively....*note "competitive bid" rule,and *the bidder must not fill-out the paperwork rule.........also noticed that the Atlantic City School Board has a new Board member.
Mayor Langford on PINKY -- talkonline, 20:07:21 01/21/03 Tue
-I thought that LANGFORD sounded really good. Enthusiastic,and smart about all topics discussed. Langford's complimentry comments about CALLAWAY, a surprize. PINKY & LANGFORD were discussing some kind of commitee of which PINKY is the chairman,LANGFORD'S comments about CALLAWAY,were about Callaway also contributing to the commitee, and bla,bla,bla.(it was real nice-I can't remember exactly what was said)
THEN,"Mr.Pollilo" called and LANGFORD invited HIM to also serve on the committee,which is dedicated to improving Atlantic City. Langford said that it had been "an oversight" that Pollilo had not been asked sooner.(ok-which one was he talking to?)
....there was a lot more chitty-chat,oh and about the 12 TRAFFIC OFFICERS,that was interesting,Langford stated that the Traffic Officers were hired to save the city money,instead of paying regular ACPD overtime pay when traffic duty was needed. Another city official called in to report that even if the Traffic Officers did put in overtime themselves,the city would still save money when compared to applying regular cops to traffic duty.
I must say that I was really impressed with the way that Langford presented himself today.
AC Press Scoops Hurley Again -- Snellbaker files ethics complaint on Flipping, 08:10:53 01/22/03 Wed
[ Edit | View ]
To: Mike -- Your input would be appreciated and respected, 15:06:22 01/17/03 Fri
Mike, You follow things in radio very closely. And usually have a lot of insight and even inside info. There are quite a few outright lies being told here. You know the key demos and exactly what they are. You also know exactly what Hurley's ratings are. Further, you also know that he has more listeners than the rest in the top 2 key demos. And, that to have more listeners on the weekend vs. weekdays is quite an accomplishment.How bout lending your expertise and give this some clarity. If Hurley's numbers were bad, you know darn well, the haters would be blaring them from the highest mountain top. Your thoughts would be appreciated and respected, Mike.

Question on a recent commercial on NJ101.5 -- No name, 20:56:11 01/21/03 Tue
Does anyone remember a commercial played on NJ101.5 on Monday somewhere between 5:30 and 6:30 P.M. advertising for a study being done on patients with pain and buring feelings in their limbs. I missed most of the commercial but it dealt with conditions similar to those suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, RSD et al. I would really appreciate it if you would e-mail me the name and/or phone number of who to contact for further information. Thanks so much!!!
It's starting to sink in -- talkonline, 23:56:45 01/20/03 Mon
I can't say that I'm Mad at talkoffline about this,because I know that it was not done on purpose,and this is the last time that I will whine about it,BUT-it looks like it is "official"-"The Unofficial...",(not the homepage but THIS page)has been Removed from ALL search engines,SINCE-THE TITLE was changed to all of that "midget" stuff!-----------------boo-hoo.
As some of you may know-it always amazed me to see this page on top of ALL the search engine lists. I never did any "tricks" like pay for a listing,or submit the page zillions of times-(maybe 5 at the most),OR even putting meta-search keywords like "free sex now!" in the header code,nope-the search spiders were just grabbing up all of the stuff that we were chatting about,and rating-(yes-I said the horrible word-RATING!),the page.
I suppose that now,the spiders will crawl the web,and soon we will be the #1 page about midgets. I think I know who I can blame this on-(sorry about the preposition!)
Mornings on NJ 101.5 -- Someone who Knows, 16:35:34 01/20/03 Mon
It is official. The undisputed king of talk Harry Hurley will go to NJ 101.5 FM to replace the retiring Jim Gearhart. Good is on a roll!
I can't say that I'm not going to listen to him anymore because it is the only local current events show on at that time.
The show on WOND at that time has another big mouth on that I can't stand, plus I'm not to interested in hearing about what kinds of junk other people are selling. So I'm not going to be listening to that show to much either.
But getting back to Harry, he says that he is number one in his time slot and I guess that he is. It's basically by default. There's no competition.
But this was the beginning of the end of his morning show. He was number one, one ratings period. But it was all downhill after that.
Review of Perigrines at the AC Hilton -- Restaurant Henry, 18:04:43 01/21/03 Tue
Here's another great restaurant (only 5 star in AC) to visit a few times ayear but not if you're on a fast food budget. Peregrines has 11 tables, most are surrounded by elegant booth seating and luxurious wood. Service is by 4 people, a captain, server, runner and bus persons. You are greeted like a king by Giovanni Mancini a true Maitre d'. YThe menu is extensive and expensive but with smart ordering you can have your cake and eat. You can order from the menu, specials or leave it up to Chef Anthony Spinella as we did.
Glasses were filled with imported mineral water, drink orders arrived promptly and a large assortment of breads from chocolate to crispy crust reached the table. Each of us were served a plate with a starter of a shrimp over a small diced salad of crabmeat. For a appetizer a large plate of jumbo lump crabmeat, oysters on the half shell, smoked salmon and bed of greens was served.
Soup was a delicious Creamed She Crab Bisque with Caviar. Salad was warm goat cheese cheesecake, goats milk cheese and frisse with champagne-dijon dressing. Intermezzo of ices.
We shared 3 entrees, Lobster quesadillas with vegetable salsa, North Atlantic salmon served with Morrocan barbeque spices, bruised cabbage and apples and chick pea fries, pan seared Buffalo tenderloin with wilted greens, gingered potatoes and carrots with demi-glace. All were succulent and perfect. Dessert was a mix of chocolate, ice cream, fresh fruit, raspberries, blueberries, forget about it!
And the constant attention by the staff of four servers, Giovanni and Anthony made it great time too be remembered. $274 for 4.
ALL LOCAL TALK SHOW -- CHRIS IN ABSECON, 14:55:50 01/21/03 Tue
ALL THE LOCAL TALK SHOWS ARE BIAS I MEAN I REMEMBER WHEN CALLAWAY WAS WILLIAMS ENEMY AND HARRYS BEST BUD NOW CALLAWAY IS WILLIAMS BUDDY AND HARRY'S ENEMY. EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT THE POLITICAL SPIN THAT MAKES ATLANTIC CITY POLITICS WORK THE NEXT ELECTION IS IN NOV AND THEN THE REAL FUN STARTS WITH THE BIG ELECTION RUN STARTING NOV 6. THAT IS CLEARLY THE REASON NOTHING GETS DONE AT ANY LEVEL TO MANY PEOPLE WANT A PIECE OF THE PIE AND WHEN THEY DONT GET IT THEY GET BITTER (SORRY FOR THE RANT)

i know i sounds simplyfied but it whould be nice to see us move foward with out slamming each other
Savage Nation Tonight -- talkonline, 00:10:21 01/21/03 Tue
Hmmm. Tonight Michael Savage was off. His guest host played a recording of some (supposedly) Muslim guy making a little speech, it was pretty good,BUT-I had a funny feeling that something was a little "off"-reason-I did not get goosebumps,like I should/would have if what was being said was "from-the-heart",
OK so,a little while later,a woman called in and said that the speech sounded like "...it was being read from a script..."(-lady caller)
And, that she wasn't so sure if she liked all of the propaganda that she was hearing about WAR!.
The guest host proceeded to reduce the woman to sounding like she was a real dummy.
Too bad that he ended up,(in my opinion),sounding like he was "protesting a little too MUCH!"(-not quite Shakesphere).
The speech that was played was really good material, but there was just something lacking in the delivery,I noticed it,the lady caller noticed it,I'm wondering how many people agreed with what the woman said and then became a little bewildered when the host tore her a new u-no-whut?

IT IS HARD ENOUGH TO LOSE A HOME WE HAD FOR OVER FIVE YEARS WE LOST THINGS WE SIMPLY CAN NEVER REPLACE. DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING THAT WILL HELP US WE BOTH ARE AT OUR WITS END THANK YOU
HURLEYS RACE BAITINGON HIS RIDICULOUS WEBPAGE IS A DISGRACE -- HE SOUNDS LIKE A LITTLE BABY (I'M TELLIN THE NAACP!), 18:20:55 01/20/03 Mon
The fact that the local NAACP listens to hurley is a mystery in itself. Here's a guy who hates linton (who is wildly popular among Blacks), is against affirmative astion and defended Trent Lott. As they say, politics makes strange bedfellows. Hurley is a phony and a disgrace. he's also very very short.
Talkoffline= a real loose cannon -- ?, 13:52:56 01/19/03 Sun
IMO, the Talkoffline takeover has been very revealing. If everyone EXCEPT talkonline,want to go on and on about one person in particular,then why fight it?
Speedy Marsh said -- ashamed to admit I listen, 12:17:30 01/20/03 Mon
that hurley would be back on the air in his old time. Is this even possible? I think that the guy is a psyco.. If they put him back on the air, they should at least put a sane person on with him. And I don't mean people like Tom Vesper or Henry Werner who choose to ignore the fact that hurley is a complete insult to people's intelligence.
I no longer listen to Don Williams -- Silent Majority, 16:41:55 01/20/03 Mon
I don't have to tune in to Williams in the morning anymore. I can get most of the days happenings from HH.com. He reports on the Williams show more than he reports on the "real" news.
Did anyone catch the name of the AC School Board Coordinator that is going to take Speedy's job? On his website, HH says the name is a blockbuster, we will reveal it tomorrow at 9:05. Then, I listen at 9:05, and after a while he says we are not going to reveal the name. Since I don't eavesdrop on private, inside conversations -- I tuned out!
We were watching this show last night, it was on either the Trio or Bravo channel. It was an attempt to analyze the failure of television programs that were thought to be very promising. Most of them were comedies, but the common denominator seemed to be that most of them featured a main character who was very hard to take - unlikable, rude, irascible. The conclusion that many of the writers and producers seemed to come to was that unlikable charaters, even those written with wit and talent, are hard for viewers to take on a weekly basis. After the initial curiosity, people just get worn out by the stridency of a one-note character.
I think the same is true of radio, local or national. The hosts that seem to have most staying power seem to be those that develop a mix of critiques, human interest, news, entertainment and humor.
Arbitrons/Arbiters/Anonymizers, etc -- rujane, 10:33:34 01/20/03 Mon
I think the nature of this board has always been that the discussions are hijacked. One cannot criticize a certain host without the poster being trashed and the moderator of this board being trashed for allowing it. One cannot turn the discussion to another host or hostess without that person being trashed. So, in a sense, unless a ban on a topic is enforced, the discussions are destined to take a particular turn because of the very small contingent determined to move it in that direction, with the obvious intention of shutting this board down. It is obvious where the source of the 'three v's' (vitriol, viciousness and vulgarity) is - so many of the anonymous posts use the same language and syntax that it's easy to read a single source into them. I'm always suspicious of people who try to put an end to discourse.
As far as Arbitrons go, we all know that they can all be read so that any host is the winner in some age group for some time period. As a listener, I don't really care. The Arbs are not for listeners, they're for the sponsors. I don't listen or stop listening based on someone's ratings, but a sponsor may add or remove spots because of it.
And I'm not sure what I was supposed to read into the derogatory nature of the "only popular with 65+ crowd" remarks. Let's face it, age bigotry is the dumbest form of bigotry - if bigotry does indeed have degrees - because we're ALL going to be old some day, or hope to be. It seems a silly sort of self-loathing to disparage senior citizens.
However, while Arbitrons may not be an indicator of a caller profile, most of the callers I hear to talk radio are in the middle-aged range. Many talk of their school (high school, college age) children. I have even heard kids call in on their days off. I would probably put the majority in the 35-55 range.
OPen Letter To TalkOnLine -- We The People, 13:26:24 01/19/03 Sun
We The People, in order to form a more perfect Chatboard, do hereby state that you need to demand to be given back your property, namely, your website.
It is a disgrace that a renegade Pirate would do such a dispicable act. It is theft and you should charge this fiend with theft.
Rush says that it's going to be the EAGLES and OAKLAND in the SUPERBOWL!!! -- zuwahrah, 20:29:02 01/17/03 Fri

TalkOffLine is The Nam Caller -- Leanred and Confirmed, 14:55:09 01/19/03 Sun

Hey, How Bout If You Had a Zombi Shift -- Radio Show on Sunday from 3pm to 7pm, 13:21:46 01/19/03 Sun
Wouldn't that be the worst?
Opps, sorry Lurch Levine has a Zomby shift show right during the Eagles. How sad. How pathetic. No one listens normally. Iamgine today. BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Thanks for Making Harry # 1 -- Let's get something straight, 21:02:01 01/18/03 Sat
Not just weekends and not just his time slot. Harry Beats all Talk in every day part in the key demos. And in the key demos is 3rd in the entire Metro Market. Only 2 50,000 FM music stations beat Harry's double digit share performance. Congratulations Harry, everyone's listening and this Pirate OFFTheWallLine has devoted a Hate Board to you. This should be flattering. Harry Beats Don Williams by a margin of 11 to 3 in the key demo and 10 to 6 in the 2nd highest key demo. Live with it.
A compromise? -- talkonline, 12:03:26 01/19/03 Sun
Ok,so here's my idea. IF I ever get the p-word. I would like to set-up the discussion so that the topics would have to be "opened". That way,people who aren't intrested in certain subjects, can ignore them,while people who do want to discuss certain topics can.
Local part time talk shpw host -- Mick, 11:18:41 01/18/03 Sat
Hurley used to boast he took more callers in one hour than other talk show hosts took in a week. Today I counted no more than 15 in his 4 hour stint. He also called Kevin a punk etc, etc, shame anyone who disagrees with him will be called names and cut off!
A sad day for The Press -- talkonline, 11:18:26 01/19/03 Sun
Just checking out THE PRESS online. They REALLY blew it today. Trying to help someone make Arroz Con Pollo. It makes me want to scream! (but I am sworn to secrecy about the secret ingredient,so I won't)
If you see the recipie in today's PRESS, DO NOT even try it. They left out the main ingreidient.
If you want to make REAL arroz con pollo,go to someone's house where they are making it,take a good look around. It's right there,on the counter. Yep-that's it!

IS HH A LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE? -- OR IS HE FOR SALE TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER?, 10:24:13 01/19/03 Sun
Hurley has no real identity or philosophy. He claims to be a conservative but he surrounds himself with liberals. I guess when you're as hated as harry you take what friends you can get. speedy marsh, langford, megreevy - all liberal democrats. his own twin brother is a democrat. yet hurley has right wing demagogues like aldrich on his show and joins him in savaging all democrats. he calls the anti-war protesters "freaks" (typical hurley name calling) and then honors martin luther king. MLK would have been right next to those "freaks" protesting the war. Are you that shallow harry that you have no true beliefs? or are you so hated locally that you have to take whatever friends you can get>
Harry Hurley Demonstated Why He is # 1 -- Great Show - # 1 Show - All Dayparts - Wow!, 10:41:58 01/19/03 Sun
The interviews with Gary Aldrich and John Risley were top notch.
Hurley is the best and it's easy to see why he has more listeners than anyone else.
I love the show. Hey, this Board looks terrible with these awful colors. Where is TalkonLine?
Interesting how an admitted "Pirate" stole someone else's privacy and seems to be proud about it. Very disturbing behavior.
Time for Talkonlin to take back her seat on the throne!
Time to banish the Pirate. In America, it is wrong to take someone else's property and ideas. I hope Talkonline sues. You have a real case. But, oddly, Talkonline seems absolutely unaffected by this "theft" - which makes that interesting on its own.

An honest question -- Ratso, 13:38:25 01/18/03 Sat
I was in Pensauken, NJ this morning working, and I could not get the HH show on the radio. I tried 1400, through 1450 AM and no go. I tried the FM station and still no HH. Is the station power so low as to not get to Pensauken? I thought it was broadcast out of Trenton. What gives?
Talkonline was good but... -- Pat, 18:44:12 01/18/03 Sat
I have to admit, I must be an addict b/c I truly missed talking about Hurley. Why is he so angry that we post about him, he should be happy that people are paying attention to him (good, bad, or indifferent), maybe we helped increase his ratings.
If we stopped talking about him maybe his ratings would go down.
P.S. please take the notice of no Hurley postings down if we are now allowed to and thanks for letting midgets post too!

Good old Hairy Hurley -- Ratso, 22:56:25 01/17/03 Fri
Just when you thought the people could refrain from bashing the guy, his supporters (both of them) decide they should take the opportunity of the armistice to laude him and proclaim him king of the weekend airways. I will keep to the spirit of not bashing Hairy, but suggest to those who feel he is a horse's patoot, they should call in Saturday during his "wind breaking" news interviews. I suggest the calls come often especially when the City's Brain Trust, Speedo Marsh, is going to discuss his departure from the School Bored. I cannot wait until Paul (he really is a nice guy-why does he support Hairy?) D'amato gives Hairy his award. I have seen the award, and it is a picture of HH and a Knight. How lucky. Make sure you call in to congratulate HH. He is indeed the Mayor of the morning.

If you love Harry so much than why do you.... -- talkoffline, 11:45:32 01/17/03 Fri
continue to patronize a board that is so critical of him? Surely with all his listeners,his unchecked WebSite,and his complete control of 8 hours a weekend his message as warped as it is will get out.Maybe you all should also ;)
Im still waiting for one of you including Harry to show evidence to the claims of his ratings other than a cut and paste of one of harrys self promoting essays.

Rush wanabes -- Eddie, 21:37:41 01/17/03 Fri
The only local talk show hosts that promote objective and intelligent dialogue are Seth and Pinky. Barbara is in a world of her own. But the rest are Rush Limburger wanabes. They allow callers that they agree with ramble on as long as they want. They also allow them to make some of the most ridiculous assertions unchallenged. But when someone has a legitimate and reasonable opposing view, they don’t allow them to completely make their point and challenge almost everything said. Then you have the bigots who almost on a daily basis take their little swipes at anyone non-white, particularly minorities in power. A lot of people I know who hear me call the shows tell me they agree with my points and would like to call in themselves. But they don’t call because they hear what happens to those with opposing views compared to those who kiss the host butts. Even Seth and maybe to a lesser degree, Pinky, lean pretty far right. It would be nice if there were a local host with more moderate views.

If you're just gonna quit, you ought to at least get your name back, because this board is just a Hate Harry Hangout.
Geez, this OFF THE WALL LINE person must be going insane over Harry's tremendous # 1 ratings. It defeats all the lies.
Hurley Undisputed # 1 -- Pirate Whacko OFFLine Deleting posts, 07:02:21 01/17/03 Fri
Talkoffline can't stand it hat Hurley beat everyone. The numbers prove it. This idiot knows it, can't spin this one. So he/she/it deletes posts. Thgis Board needs the fair one (Talkonline) back. Then, Talkonline needs to make sure that a Renegade like Off the wallLine doesn't ever have the passwrod again. Some people can not handle responsibility. This obsessed luatic couldn't handle not talking about Harry for even a few days. Sick, disturbed. Wonder who was the person who stalked Harry on his cell phone?
The best revenge is to do what Harry did, just beat them. Congrats Harry, against all odds, you won.
SURLEY HURLEY DOES IT AGAIN!!!! -- BILL, 11:30:27 01/17/03 Fri
SURLEY HURLEY does it again, he gets skunked in the ratings and he lies about them. He knows he onll has a.06 and this is not a full percentage point.
To: Mike -- Your input would be appreciated and respected, 15:04:38 01/17/03 Fri
Mike, You follow things in radio very closely. And usually have a lot of insight and even inside info. There are quite a few outright lies being told here. You know the key demos and exactly what they are. You also know exactly what Hurley's ratings are. Further, you also know that he has more listeners than the rest in the top 2 key demos. And, that to have more listeners on the weekend vs. weekdays is quite an accomplishment.How bout lending your expertise and give this some clarity. If Hurley's numbers were bad, you know darn well, the haters would be blaring them from the highest mountain top. Your thoughts would be appreciated and respected, Mike.
Heard this in the IRISH VOICE! -- US COAST GAURD acting like the TALIBAN????, 00:50:43 01/17/03 Fri
Sinn Fein Tattoo Linked to Al-Qaeda?
By Debbie McGoldrick
IS Sinn Fein somehow linked to al-Qaeda? The U.S. Coast Guard allegedly thinks so, according to an outraged Irish American who was recently discharged from service because he sports a large Sinn Fein tattoo on his left forearm.
Justin Walter, 26, originally from Astoria, Queens but now resident in Arizona, received his discharge order from the Coast Guard last month. Coast Guard officers at a Cape May, New Jersey base allegedly told Walter that the tattoo was unacceptable because Sinn Fein, Northern Ireland’s largest Nationalist party, is involved with al-Qaeda and is also dedicated to overthrowing the British government.
“I was basically called a terrorist in front of other recruits,” Walter said in an exclusive interview with the Irish Voice. “My tattoos are nothing more than a display of Irish pride, but the Coast Guard thinks otherwise.” What galls Walter even further is his prior record of military service before enlisting in the Coast Guard. Walter was a member of the U.S. Army reserves for six years and was honorably discharged after his term ended in August of 2001. The Sinn Fein tattoo, and the other Irish tattoos on his arms and hands, never posed a problem for Army officials, he says.
“No one ever said anything in the Army,” Walter says. “Lots of others also had tattoos and it wasn’t a problem at all. It was a total non-issue.” Commander Jim McPherson, a spokesperson for the Coast Guard in Washington, D.C., disputes Walter’s version of what happened in Cape May, and says Walter was discharged because of the size and number of tattoos he had.
“This is what he was questioned about,” McPherson told the Irish Voice. “The tattoos are very large.” McPherson also denied that any Coast Guard officials said that Sinn Fein was linked to terrorism. “I don’t think anyone could make that kind of connection,” he said.
McPherson said that there are no blanket bans against tattoos in the Coast Guard, but there are provisions about the size and number of tattoos a recruit can have. “And that’s what the problem was here,” he said. “It was a judgment call that was made at headquarters in Washington, D.C.” When asked why the Army didn’t question the Sinn Fein tattoo, McPherson said the requirements for the Coast Guard are different. “The Army recruits 77,000 people a year, while the Coast Guard only takes 5,000,” he said. “There are different standards in all areas. The Coast Guard requires higher education standards and is less tolerant of infractions. That’s because, as a law enforcement agency, we interact with the public much more than the Army.” Walter got the Sinn Fein tattoo, and a Celtic dragon etched underneath the words, in 1997. He chose the words Sinn Fein because he liked the English translation, “Ourselves Alone.” He also followed the Irish peace process and felt that Sinn Fein was the party most committed to making it work.
Walter never attended any Sinn Fein rallies or fundraisers in the U.S., nor has he ever had any contact with party officials. “I wouldn’t do that because I was in the U.S. military,” he explained. “It’s not something I ever had time to do. I never, ever gave a dime to Sinn Fein.” Walter grew up in a staunchly Irish household; his mother is from an Irish family in Manchester, England, and his maternal grandparents are from Co. Cork. All of them emigrated to New York in the 1960s.
The Walter family vacationed frequently in Ireland while Justin was growing up, and Justin’s Irish heritage has always been a source of great interest to him. There are still cousins and other family members in Ireland that he likes to visit frequently.
“I heard a lot of stories about Ireland while growing up,” Walter says. “Tommy Makem was a good friend of my grandfather William Ahern. I read lots of Irish books and had lots of Irish friends. I have a great love of my Irish heritage.” Walter got his first tattoo, an Irish flag on his left shoulder, while serving with the Army in Georgia in 1996. “Everyone was getting tattoos then, and I figured I’d never be ashamed to have an Irish flag on my body, so I got it,” he said. “Nothing was ever said to me by any Army officials.” In addition to the flag and Sinn Fein tattoos, Walter also has a tattoo of the word “Saighdiur,” the Gaelic word for soldier, which he got in 2001, on his right forearm. Around that time he also received small tattoos of an Irish harp on his left hand and a shamrock on his right.
Shortly after being discharged from the Army in 2001, Walter decided to enlist in the Coast Guard. The recruiting officer in Arizona photographed his tattoos and sent them up the chain of command to see if they were permissible.
Word eventually came back that the shamrock and harp tattoos would have to be removed from Walter’s hands, at his own expense, if he wished to proceed with his Coast Guard recruitment. Walter readily agreed to have the symbols removed through painful laser surgery that cost nearly $2,000 and left scars on his hands that he’ll carry for life.
“But I didn’t mind at all,” he says. “If that’s all they wanted me to do then I was all for it.” Walter received his order to report for Coast Guard duty in Cape May in December of last year. He says that he was immediately singled out during his first day of class by the chief in charge who wanted to see his tattoos.
“He took me to the back of the class and had me roll up my sleeves,” Walter says. “He said he would have to do further investigation about the Sinn Fein tattoo. I explained that photos had already been sent for approval before I arrived, but it didn’t seem to matter.” Shortly after this first encounter, Walter claims he was informed that research had been done about Sinn Fein on the Internet, with Coast Guard officials allegedly claiming the party was linked to the IRA, which in turn had connections to al-Qaeda and other terrorist activity. Walter was told that the tattoo would have to go.
“I tried to explain that Sinn Fein was a peaceful group that were not connected in any to terrorism,” Walter said. “If I had an IRA tattoo on my arm I would have understood their position, but Sinn Fein has been welcomed in the White House and has lots of political support here. If the White House can accept Sinn Fein, how come the Coast Guard can’t?” What followed were a series of meeting between Walter and Coast Guard officials, and the end result was that Walter was honorably discharged on December 13 because of the tattoo. “They gave me an honorary discharge because they didn’t want to affect my other years of military service,” Walter said. “But it was an awful experience. Just before I was leaving one of the company commanders accused me of putting terrorist s*** on my body.” When Walter returned to Phoenix he made contact with his recruiting officer, who was unaware of what happened in Cape May. Efforts were made to clear Walter’s enrollment, with the FBI and State Department contacting the Coast Guard to inform officials that Sinn Fein is not on the U.S. terrorist watch list. So far, Walter says, the Coast Guard has yet to respond, and at this stage he’s simply fed up.
“I would have liked to have gone back, and I was willing to cover the tattoo if I had to,” Walter said. “But the whole experience has really angered me. I’m an American who wants to serve my country, and I was denied that chance over showing pride in my Irish heritage. I’m just extremely upset.” Resigned to a future that doesn’t include the Coast Guard, Walter now plans on taking the entrance exam to join the police force in Sedona. “And I’m sure I’ll get a better welcome there,” he said. “Nothing could be worse than what happened to me in the Coast Guard. I felt like a criminal.”
THE COUP IS ON ,THE BAN IS OFF..... -- Talkoffline, 19:50:07 01/16/03 Thu
1st sorry to talkonline but I can't take it any longer,I never agreed to the Hurley ban and His B.S. propaganda campaign has gone on unchecked long enough.
I've change the Admin password and we will now have our say!!
To begin with Hurley got spanked when he put up Arbitron breakout numbers without permission and against copywrite laws,as you friends of hurley notice he quickley removed his numbers when he got wind that several people wrote and called Arbitron to complain.
Next to the point of his numbers versus weekday shows is a joke to compare different times and days is just plain silly even to you his most staunch supporters.
Lets not forget his silly hypocritical I'm against Don Williams criticizing Pinky but it's OK For Harry to...Duh
It's also evdenced that Harry listens to Don Williams like the rest of you do because he no longer even bothers to lie in his articles by saying that some one sent tapes or told him that "Don said this or that" he just rips what he has heard "because he has to listen" so he will have something to write about!
Finally to Harry who I'm sure will be reading this as he monitors this board as much as WOND programming,just do your program stop slandering your competion i.e. OND,the Press of AC,Anyone named Callaway,Gormley
VIVA LA COUP :)
Here are what some famous indie country stars have to say about Austin Taylor:
"We have experienced some problems with him(Austin Taylor)...He sells our c.d.'s off his website and in the past two years we have received next to nothing from him, his claim is that he isn't selling anything but we know better..."
-Jim , Towanaw@aol.com
"I know about him(Austin Taylor) and he got me for $3500.00 remember...God help him!!!he is so bad.There are so many he has stolen from"-Gladys Jones
"Hello I am Shirley Hayes with the Texas Girls, I was with Cabin Creek Records several years ago and I told him(Austin Taylor)repeatedly to take my name off of everything that has to do with Cabin Creek.But just like you I was taken in.I will have to go to court one day too.I am sorry he hurt you,he is bad to the bone.I advise you to sue him for recovereyGladys Jones did and won.-Shirley Hayes
(note, Gladys later stated that after wining in Couchton County Court in Ohio that Taylor never paid her the judgement)
"Austin Taylor and I went to the Coushton Municipal Court Ohio Couchton Ohio 43812,...A judgement was ordered to me Gladys Williams
$3.000.00 that Austin Taylor swindled out of me.He never paid a dime.He laughed in my face , he knew that the court would not make me pay me.This hearing was the 26 of June 2001.I spent more money to take him to court and I payed the cost of the whole mess plus staying in a motel plus 8 hours of driving to Ohio.I can not understand how a person can be ordered by a judge to pay back money that he stole from someone, I can fax you a copy of the judgement but it is not worth the paper that it is written on.Mean while this man(Austin Taylor) goes on with his scam , I understand he has taken three more people after me, Can't anybody stop this THIEF?"-Gladys Williams(Same person as Gladys Jones)
"It is our official position that Austin Taylor is a dishonest man, and that his Cabin Creek Records Company stole $2050.00 from our ministry, along with the master copies and artwork from two of our projects.We have no further comment to make on this matter"-The Trumpet of the Lord Ministries 501c3 Board of Directors www.trumpetofthelord.com

Dear TalkONline -- TalkoffLine is lying, 13:26:54 01/16/03 Thu
Dear Talkonline: Talkoffline has a lie posted here. 1450 weekend morning numbers are not bad, in fact they are # 1. It's not fair to say that someone can't be talked about, but yet TalkOFF finds negative ways to slime away.
It's very revealing, Talkoffline can't play by the rules. This person can't even take a few days off from their hatred. But, please correct the lie. The true numbers are out, I believe that you know that and the lie that there are no weekend morning numbers at 1450 just isn't true.
Revealing -- The Caring Soul, 09:41:20 01/15/03 Wed
The ratings are out, loud and proud. And none of the ugly gang has a word to say about it. Wasn't long ago that imposters posted really ugly ratings information. They are now underground, even from participating in their anonymous way here. I love it. You do, too. Isn't just great news!

Have just got of another talk shows web site and the hate is getting intensived. Mr small person is lamsasting every talk show host on another station, he then did a "u" turn on Pinky. I think you should lift this ban before the mental midget explodes, of course you are the one that decides.Bollocks bring it on!!!!!
Your home direct YHD=mistake number one, incompetence -- Tony, 12:53:38 01/15/03 Wed
In the New Jersey USA we have the misfortune of having listed our home with YHD Foxton and their supposed "local realestate experts", I am here to tell you nothing could be further from the truth. From start to finish YHD has provided horrible service and lacks the most rudemantary sales knowledge. No one seems to know what is going on and there is never any one in charge to speak with they basically abuse the system and wait for houses to be sold by the grace of god. They do absolutely no follow up or proactive marketing of your home. There is nothing that YHD does that a homeowner with a PC and 20 minutes a week could do on their own. While they are busy bashing the realestate profession and calling them all lairs and thieves in their advertisments they do nothing short of what they accuse others of, and to add insult to injury they refuse to acknowledge their wrong doing in any of this they are obtuse and I hope to spit on their grave someday very soon...
Even Harry Hurleys listening to Don Williams ;) -- Talkoffline, 18:36:14 01/15/03 Wed
After reading Harrys article on Don Williams I realize a couple of things are evident 1) Harry has to listen to 1400 in the morning so he will have something or someone to write about 2)his jealousy makes him more stupid as the fact he tries to twist Dons arbitron ratings into a negative while lieing about his own and 3) he's reading this board for sure as he took down his Arbitron break out numbers from his site because he probably found out he was breaking the law of copyright and didn't want another pulic spanking.
PS screw this Hurley Hiatus,we the posters and readers drive this board, Sorry talkonline its just how I feel
I follow the radio board on the NJO site and one of the longest discussions was a complaint about the lack of local programming, particularly in the North Jersey market which is heavily influenced by NY stations. I would hate to see WOND entirely jettison its local format for national, even programs that I do like (Sean Hannity, for example.)
You have Don Williams as Arbitron #1, Barbara Altman who has been repeatedly honored for her contributions to this area, Jeff Whitaker, whose national TV appearance has to be a first, and was followed with the Sean Hannity interview and congratulations from David Limbaugh. You have Seth Grossman and Barry and the Champ who have pulled in a lot of advertising dollars (and just try to call into Barry and Champ - it took me 45 minutes one Sunday!). You have a much-needed entertainment round-up with Dan Klein, that covers all sorts of events from sports fishing to local theatre, the sort of events you would NEVER hear about on a syndicated show.
I think there are some changes I would make, but I always recall that line from King Lear, how striving to better 'oft we mar what's well'. In other words, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Am I the only one that didn't know that former Miss America Heather Whitestone regained her hearing? -- zuwahrah, 16:09:51 01/15/03 Wed
"She was the first deaf Miss America. Since then, she has regained her hearing. Tune in at 8 p.m. ET as Heather Whitestone tells Connie how she beat the odds."
I didn't know that she regained her hearing! Did she get an implant (like Rush Limbaugh although I'm starting to wonder if Rush ever was really deaf. The restoration of his hearing just went too smoothly.)?
She's going to be on Connie Chung tonight (1/15/2003).
