Greater Bluffton Republican Club

This is a Bluffton GOP "call to arms." Actually, it is a call to the phones. I was trying to tune into the Rush Limbaugh show on NewsRadio 730AM WSC out of Charleston and was shocked, apauled, and outraged to hear the whiney liberal voice of Al Franken and his token female co-host. I thought to myself, "this must be Rush playing a joke or airing a clip." Then I thought to myself, "why would Rush give this guy airtime." Rush wouldn’t, but the program manager at 730AM WSC would. NewsRadio WSC is now broadcast on an FM station, 94.3FM, that we Blufftonian’s and Islander’s cannot receive. And 730AM, is now Progressive Radio "AM for the Rest of Charleston", that’s right folks, AIR AMERICA has come to our little slice of conservatism. For me, 1290AM out of Savannah, that also carries Rush is very hard to pick up during the day.

I would encourage all of you to complain. Urge your friends to complain. Urge your neighbors to complain. Email your representative. Tell George that this cannot happen in this great land. This is a travesty that should not and will not be tolerated in the South. We will not trade our yellow-dog’s for the incredulous whining, sniveling, peace-monkey made in Massachusetts liberals that the Democratic party is raising these days. I say boycott the station and boycott the advertisers. And, I’ll have you know that the time that I listened to this station trying to figure out what on earth was going on, the only advertisers were national – Walgreens, weight loss pills, and other great untouchable advertisers like that.

Ideas on what we can do? Comment on my post, because I’ve called and I know what I will get, "if it sells, we will air it." I’m outraged.

James, let me get this straight (and wow, I have never heard you so pissed!! Tis the season of love & joy, brother:) Was WSC previously a conservative talk station? I usually listen to 630 in the AM then switch to 1290 at 12, which I get just fine in my car, then back to 630 after Rush is over. Give me a bit more background on 730 before I get out the big guns.
Charleston is VERY conservative, I think much more so than here, from reading it's papers. I don't think they'll take it up there either!! Dawn
ps I also have friends in that area I'll activate:)

I don't know whether I would say that WSC 730AM was conservative thru and thru before the change but they were a ClearChannel station that carried Glen Beck and then Rush Limbaugh. They are still owned by ClearChannel though, which is why I'm furious about them carrying hotAir America. I agree, Rush fills that O'Rielly fence sitting show at 12 very nicely and other than O'Rielly, I'd listen to 630AM WBMQ all day. I think I liked Boortz a smiggen more than Ben Bennett because he had more information.

(843) 856-6109 is the number to the program manager. I don't recall his name. RALLY TO THE PHONES!!! This is a RED state after all!!!!

Have you tried AM 690 from Jacksonville? Comes in pretty good in Moss Creek.
