I really like John C. Scott. He is a world-class talk show host. Yes he’s a liberal but I hold out hope for the 12-step programs to treat this. He is, as the highly paid Rove parrots of those evil corporations would say (TIC) - a “Great American.”

Yeah, I like his show, too. Scott has a way of telling it like it is and turning up the heat where necessary without being an asshole about it.

In many ways he reminds me of San Diego Congressman Bob Filner who I knew well in the 90’s and we were always able to communicate even inside political jabs with respect and with great fun - not with hostility. Filner - an avowed liberal is currently running for San Diego Mayor and I am actually endorsing him. These are the kind of people we can rarely find - John Scott or Bob Filner or even John Sullivan who will never agree with any of the others on whether Socialist Utopia governing from the top down of a Politiburo-style center or Republican Federalism governing America from the household first, the neighborhood next, the City next, the County next the State next and at last resort the Feds and the U.N. should steer America’s future. But yeah I recognized from Day One that John C Scott is an American gem. All of the grandoise plugs at the beginning of his show are perhaps a bit understated.

I don’t always agree with the guy either…but I don’t need to. I can respect someone I disagree with if they argue based on facts rather than argue based on the person they’re arguing again. I also need them to refrain from lying. Seeing things differently is one thing, but deliberately smearing an issue to serve your ends is totally another. My point…though I don’t agree with everything Scott has said, he’s always stated his opinions is ways I can respect.

Buckmaster on the other hand…way too soft. Doesn’t ask the tough questions. Doesn’t say what needs to be said. Doesn’t call anyone out on anything. He’ll get Braindead Bob on his show and let Bob mumble and drool for 15 minutes, all the while trying his best not to offend Bob. It’s sickening to try to listen to.

Sorry, we missed your input...

TucsonSentinel.com is fiscally sponsored by the Investigative News Network. Your contribution is tax-deductible.

User Guidelines

Please be respectful and relevant. Thought-provoking. Or at least funny.

We want comments to advance the discussion and we need your help. Debate, disagree, yell (digitally) or laugh, but do it with respect.

We won't censor your comments if we don't agree with you; we want viewpoints from across the political spectrum. We're dedicated to sparking an open, active discussion. We believe people with differing opinions can spark debate and effect change.

Comments are open to registered users of TucsonSentinel.com.

Keep in mind:

  • A conversation involves sharing and respect. Support your viewpoint with facts, not attacks.
  • Ask questions. Search out answers.
  • Remember that being part of a community requires tolerance for differing views.
  • We can't ensure that all comments are based in truth. The only comments we endorse are those we write ourselves.

TucsonSentinel.com does not allow:

  • Hate speech. Blatantly racist, sexist or homophobic slurs or calls for violence against a particular type of person, etc. will be removed.
  • Obscenity & excessive cursing. Sometimes a well-placed curse word - if you're creative enough to get it past our auto-censor - can express your point in just the right way. But we say '%*$& no' to cursing for cursing's sake. And lose the explicit sexually-descriptive language. It doesn't contribute to the debate and there are plenty of other places on the Internet to find it.
  • Flaming. During a heated discussion, unkind words may be spoken. We can live with a certain amount of rudeness in the name of provocative conversation, but a pattern of personal attacks (name-calling, mocking, or baiting) is not acceptable nor are threatening or harassing comments. Show some respect, please.
  • Spam. Solicitation of products or services isn't allowed; contact us about advertising, we'd love to talk to you. Links to off-topic sites may be deleted.
  • Copyright or IP infringement. Lengthy quotes and violations of 'Fair Use' aren't allowed. Anything you post should be your own work.
  • Overposting. Don't bore people and waste electrons with identical comments on multiple stories or repetitive comments that don't advance a conversation.
  • Trolling, sockpuppetry, and other abusive behavior. Please don't feed the trolls and don't pretend to be someone you're not.
  • Gossip. Don't bring up others who can't defend themselves. We don't give out personal information; you shouldn't either.

Comments that violate these guidelines may be removed. We reserve the right to make up the rules as we go along.

Flagging

Commentors are solely responsible for the opinions they express and the accuracy of the information they provide. Users who violate these standards may lose their privileges on TucsonSentinel.com.

Sentinel editors can't read every comment. Trolls, spammers and other troublemakers can slide under the bridge. We rely on you to help maintain a healthy conversation - more than likely, you're reading these comments before the editors.

What if you see something inappropriate? Use the 'Flag' button to send it to a moderation queue. Help us out and tell us why you're reporting it; please don't report someone just because you disagree with them. Boy who cried wolf and all that. We'll take appropriate action on violations.

We will not edit comments to alter their meaning or censor comments because of political content.

We will not remove comments solely because they are heartless, cruel, coarse, foolish or just plain wrong. Your disapproval can maintain a decent signal to noise ratio. Ultimately, however, self-policing is the best method.

Bottom line, don't be a jerk.
