Anyone else catch Chuck Harder's show today? (Monday)
He had some guy on there from AIPAC and was fawning all over Israel
Back in the day, harder used to be squarely America First -- what changed? Is he trying to kiss neocon ass to get back onto more stations?

I used to be a big Harder fan, but I hardly listen to him anymore. It was never quite clear why he got evicted from his beloved hotel in Florida. Pat Choate got Harder involved in a business deal with some union, auto workers, I believe, and it cost him the hotel. He was never quite the same afterwards. He never seemed to blame Choate, who still comes on his radio show as a guest.
At any rate the hotel episode took all the steam out of Harder, who has now become a creature of the establishment. He has a great radio voice but suffers from chronical ill-health, some form of obesity, which might have played a role in his capitulation to the establishment. He must have come to the conclusion that he had to get along to go along.

I used to listen to Chuck a few years ago. He seemed to be sincere about restoring America to it's former greatness by bringing jobs and industry back to this country.
I'll even give him credit for bringing on some very interesting guests and guest hosts. But I started to notice that he would direct some guests away from too interesting of a subject, i.e. in a one hour segment the guest might not get even ten minutes of air time, what with all of Chuck's interuptions, breaks for adds, ect.
He has said that he has a Grandmother I believe, who was Jewish. Guess I'll stick with Tom Valentine at Radio Free America, And Clay Douglass at The Free American. Both of these guys have radio (satellite, shortwave, and internet ) broadcasts.

He had some guy named 'Josh' from AIPAC on again today -- man, what a change from the old Chuck Harder, who used to criticize US aid to Israel
