George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

Started by MV/Liberace!, April 06, 2008, 01:23:02 AM

Can Noory pronounce anything correctly?

No
No

stevesh

At one point in the second hour of the Hal Lindsey appearance, Noory asked about people who don't believe in the Rapture, quickly excluding Lindsey and himself. Maybe this stupid C2C fixation with Christian fundamentalism is Noory's agenda after all.

PaT Buchanan?

PAT FUCKING BUCHANAN?!!!

     I was impressed by Pat Buchanan in the early nineties, now he's a "Morning Joe" regular and does a half way decent job at defending conservatives, sometimes, when he's not revising history, or mumbling.  I've got a house full of books, and Hal Lindsey's "Late Great Planet Earth" has been laying on my office floor for about two weeks because I've been too lazy to put it up somewhere.  Maybe I should reread it for kicks.  A lousy job by George tonight.  Yeah, George, we know, you're not gonna get the "666" mark when they come for you, blah, blah, blah.  You'll probably wind up selling it.

I found Pat Buchanan to be intelligent and likable. He sure has moderated since the Nixon days..

The rest of the show was an absurd abomination to all common sense. But with all of Hal's talk about revelation I had my own: I listen daily with some hope that just maybe the show will get better. And just like the Biblical end time, the show's improvement will just not occur.

Unfortunately, I missed Pat Buchanan. However, I did happen to catch the Jesus chat. George Noory didn't have much to say for someone who is so spiritual and things "something caused this." It's just an act.


Coast to Coast AM has no scope whatsoever. It is hanging by a thread. It is trying to be all things to all people in a desperate attempt to cover up its terrible host's performance.

Re: the "rapture", what Hal Lindsey doesn't tell you is that this idea is a relatively new one for the 2000 yr. history of Christianity; it started only about 200 years ago by some fundamentalist minister.  The majority of Christian churches, both Protestant and Catholic, don't believe in the rapture and never have.

It started when some woman in Europe had a fever dream about Jesus. A minister acquaintance of hers brought the story of the "vision" to the US, which caught on with the snake handler types, before much later gaining the wider acceptance it has today. You can find a biblical president, if you squint and strain, but the same can be said for virtually anything.

Pat Buchanan is a creationist.

I was surprised to find that I didn't mind Pat... and Noory was smart enough to let Pat do most of the talking so as not to show himself to be completely incompetent host who "forgot" to do his homework and read the book.  That part was not too bad.

Then I turned off the segment with Hal.  I can't stand somebody like him who seems to know everything (about Christianity) or just make it up as he goes.  Add a host like Noory and you have a recipe to make me see red.

I actually read many of Lindsey's books when I was an undergradaute -- while not for everyone, they were reasoned out with an internal logic, which is more than one might expect given the speculative sense of the interpretations.

Noory cut off a caller that confronted the bible thumper guest last night and called him a proven fraud and phony.
Noory can't handle that when he has a guest on he agrees with.
And that is with screened callers too, imagine all the callers that got booted by the screener beforehand?  :o

what was very telling about Hal Lindsay was he admitted he doesn't believe in mainstream religion and doesn't belong to a church. all his info his interpertation of the bible by himself, a cult of ONE?
he seemed to be the same as that other old guy who recently predicted the end of the world and rapture date and was wrong and pushed it back to next week. Hal just doesn't put an exact date on it, but a caller did point out he expected it to happen back in the 1980s and that didn't happen.

When Noory has on people telling everybody how the world is ending because it is written in scripture why don't they ever ask the person about the part where Jesus said the Antichrist, and all the other stuff would happen within the lives of the people he was telling? It seems like a pretty important detail, and might be worth asking even once.

The present C2C sponsors are end-of-days and Armageddon products, so that's what Noory pushes.  Doomsday products = doomsday topics.  I think it's that simple.

   Noory sucks...
        And he stinks!

I found it ironic that Buchanan spent so much time moaning about China when he was part of Nixon's China "opening".

     He claims he opposed it in 1971-72 and puts the blame on Kissinger...but tellingly, Buchanan stayed on board and didn't resign. Sometimes I've heard him rationalize it by saying they were just trying to agitate Sino-Soviet relations further.

       But your point is correct....It appears Buchanan thinks people have short memories or no sense of history. Hell, 1972 is nearly 40 years ago-let's just brush that under the rug.

c2c am - the new suck
[/quote/

I'm a flaming commie pinko liberal and Pat's my favorite righty, aside from maybe Bill Kristol or David Frum.  Pat's downfall is his barely concealed racism, which is probably why I haven't seen his cheerful face on MessNBC recently.  I *do* agree with Pat on trade issues and with his distaste for NAFTA and GATT.  Still, I couldn't bear to hear my fave (and brilliant but flawed) conservative actually have a conversation with the mental midget Noory.  Also the combo of Buchanan with "Biblical Prophecies" is just too much Tea Party red meat for lil' me. 
Those of you who have a problem with Ian's lack of love for Herm Cain will be rewarded here.  Both Buchanan and Noory are big fans of his.  Poor Pat & I mean that sincerely, relegated to talking to mental midgets such as Jorch at 1 AM Pat's time (Buchanan doesn't live that far from me).

Yeah, these biblical predictions have a bad habit of being too optimistic, with optimistic being the end of the world to people like him.  He also brought up the 'more earthquakes' fear porn you can hear on practically any religious radio broadcast, with Hal and company not understanding plate tectonics and volcanic activity that's been going on for billions of years in varying states.  Hal said he expects the Rapture to happen during his lifetime.  He's like 82 years old/young, so that doesn't leave much time for the party to start. He must mean during his lifetime in a parallel universe, because I have a distinct feeling it won't be happening in this one.

Oh great.  Now you have me wondering if I was too harsh or too quick to judge.

I have a confession- I consider myself to be a Christian.  It is sad, but because of many who claim the same thing, I always feel like it is a "confession."  My bookshelf looks like it should belong to a stark, raving mad atheist.  I have very few books that "confirm" my world view and many that force me to question religion in general.  I have not found a church that I can belong to and now find myself drawn to give the man another whirl to see what he has to say.

If only it weren't Noory doing the interview...

Got a little ahead of myself. Excuse this post.
Noory sucks schlong

but remember those fundamentalists don't believe the earth is billions of years old - only 6000 years due to adding up all the generations listed in the bible, nothing else like science measurements are valid according to them its all work of the devil...

I just don't understand why whom-so-ever orchestrates this venue, should take particular pains to have repeats of
Art Bell's most booring and annoying shows on Saturdays followed up by that MOST BOOORISH chap Ian Punnit.

Like we really need the pain.

Week-ends are supposed to be joyous times, the stuff of rest . . . not annoyance.  Brief as they are, what we need NOT
is annoyances.  Is this entertainment?

Why? Why!? the hell make us turn the radio off?  OFF! Ignore it!???????? Wipe it from memory?

I'll be listening to my recordings of bagpipes over which I have full control. As we also do of the
radio dial. And the on/off switch.

What is the idea behind making the latter preferable to the prior? How does that make money?

I tried... I really did; I just can't get behind the man.  Some of it is interesting- but he looses me in far too many spots.  Particularly when it comes to somebody interpreting the bible for me I am very hard to please.  Mess up or don't manage to make your point with any evidence and I very quickly stop listening (I even accept scripture to back up claims if it is not twisted and mangled).

The man might be interesting; he might be a person who can think for himself.  Prophesy and interpreting signs of "the end times" is without a doubt difficult (most of us are better off not trying.)  I just can't buy most of what he was trying to sell so I had to turn it off.

He does the Christian side, and agrees most of the time with the guest. Then, week or two later, he'll have a rampaging New Ager on and he'll fucking agree with them too!
Noory, he is everyone's best friend and he shares the same point of view as everyone! What a diverse, complex man  ::)

You ain't foolin me Noory, you son of a bitch!

     I know I've ranted about George's idiotic obsession with listener calls, but how do you justify bringing on a guess, like Paul Rimasch, who is a crime scene investigator, and has come across ghost and such, and spending half the interview time listening to callers tell their stories?  Some old lady with her haunted house got almost fifteen minutes.  It's rude, George.  Ancient alien icon Erick Von Daeniken is one enthusiastic guy, and he's a good guest, but George misses the opportunity to get into the "icon" status.  He practically invented the genre.  What's that like?  Has he made any errors?  Does he regret forging some ufo pottery a while back? What was it like to spend three years in jail for embezzlement?  At least Daeniken didn't buy into the "Jesus is an alien" thing.  That drives me nuts.

That old guy is back, though he's not doing so well because of a stroke, and his new date is this Friday the 21st.

I am right now listening to the 2011-10-01 broadcast with Ian, hour 2, 6 minutes and 38 seconds.

Ian: "When it comes to mythology, we know that in understanding the gods, say, of Greece or Rome or Scandinavia or whatever, is that it's always a battle between good and evil. And then that's also, then, kind of an extension of what's going on within our soul. And we relate to these subjects (of comic books) through these extremes of the superhero and the supervillain."

Could you even CONTEMPLATE George making such an analytical statement? If you're reading on this message board, the no way in hell.

Now, I realize that are many Ian detractors here. I myself have some qualms with him. But I'd like to ask... if you had to choose between the unbridled insipidity of that dullard George Noory or the occasional (insert your complaint here)-ness of the intellectual Ian Punnett, who who it be?

In my personal life I have never loved nor hated a non-political celebrity or public figure. That all changed when George Noory started his vapid ruination of that once great show.

If George were interviewing Ian:

George: "No doubt about it.  Ian, where can listeners get your book Dizzy, the Mutt With the Propeller Butt?  Amazon?"

I can take Ian in small doses; once a week is fine.  Yes, Ian has intelligence, as does Knapp and Art.  Noory is cognitively challenged, to use PC jargon.  Just plain stupid is the best term.

Seriously...It's awful. Why does he do that? Pure laziness. He can't carry the show so he uses the callers as filler. It's like being forced into listening to "those ophen lines!"

Absolutely. It's bad and getting worse. It has to be something that Noory is doing intentionally, or he's so concerned about being seen as a 'nice guy' he doesn't have the 'nads to interrupt the lame callers. We need more guests who will take control of the show when necessary.

You know, it's not impossible that Noory does lurk here at coastgab and does this stuff just to piss us off.

I think it's equally likely that Geo uses the time for his masturbation break, which is written into his contract.
