I've only heard some of those guys talk, but of the ones I have heard I do prefer Glenn Beck because he seems to be much more willing to talk about real issues, rather than just the left/right paradigm.  HOWEVER, even Beck has his limitations, and now that he is under the umbrella of Fox (Murdock) I predict that over time the subject matter that he discusses will become more like Hannity/Limbaugh.

Certainly, these guys can be helpful in understanding surface elements of various issues, but when it comes to the deeper understandings they fall flat on their faces over and over again.  For an example of this, check out John Connor/Mark Dice (same person) of the Resistance Manifesto on Youtube, and how he has called into various talk shows over the past few years.  Most of the time he's not given much of an opportunity to talk about the Bilderberg group (for example) because these talk show hosts do a very good job at protecting the establishment.  And that very aspect of them I DESPISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel that these talk shows give people an artificial high, thinking that they're right about something that they haven't hardly gotten their feet wet with when in opposition to another controlled group that feels the exact same way.  Kind of like spinning one's wheels or trying to climb a mountain while being suspended upside down.  Because the limits of the arguments are already in place, whether they be from a lack of understanding by the host person or simply because of contractual obligations, most of these mainstream arguments are never really allowed to be traced back to their logical beginnings.  We ARE a programmed mass of people, whether it be only a little bit for some or the total package for most others.  And most of these talk shows only perpetuate the matrix.

JMO, and now I'm dunning my fire suit.   :o

I don't like Beck very much because he makes a living as an alarmist about everything. He's America's Chicken Little and Boy Who Cried Wolf all in one package.

I like Beck, because he isn't afraid to make fun of himself. And, if you look back on all of the things he was warning about, they have for the most part, come to light. About the only thing he went on about a couple years ago, that I really disagreed with him on was the Terri Schivo case. The women was brain dead,period. Pull the plug and let her go home.
I just shut Limbaugh off after 20 minute's of listening to him. Although I agree with alot of what he spout's off about, I don't like his egotistical attitude. He reminds me of Casisus Clay. He gives himself to much credit. If Clay would have kept his big mouth shut, I'ld have given him much more credit as a fighter. 
When Savage was on here in the Toledo area, I use to listen to him when I was out working late in the shop. But, they took him off the air, and replaced him with Mark Levin, who just likes to scream alot, and cut off anybody that disagree's with him.
I don't get a chance to listen to him on radio, but I have watched his TV show once in awhile, and that's Lou Dobbs. Surprisingly, he's on CNN, but the few times I caught his program, seems pretty level headed. Another is Bill O'Rilley. Don't get his radio program in this area, but catch his TV show once or twice a week. gypsyman

I just mentioned the ones I'm familiar with. I'd like to know about others. I'm just asking your opinions of why you like best.

Sorry, but this was mentioned, and I can not let this go without a response.
Terry Schiavo was not brain dead.  She suffered brain damage.  It's unclear how the brain damage occurred, but there were suspicious circumstances involving her husband.
At the time the feeding tubes and iv's were removed, she was conscious, alert and responsive.
She was just as capable of feeling pain and suffering as you and I are.
That was a monumental event, more so than what you might think.  The final outcome, in which she was deprived fluids and nourishment, mandated by a court decision, indicates the total lack of humanity by many in our society.
To me, it was a scenario right out of a repressive regime.  Feel free to choose which ever one you feel is most appropriate.
Look at history, and for the most part, MOST civilizations have been noted for man's inhumanity to man.   
In America, up until now, one of our strengths has been that we value life.  Our norm as a society has been that we abhore cruel treatment of other humans.  I know we are not perfect,  in this regard. 
With Terry Schiavo, a judge mandated feeding tubes were to be removed, she was to be deprived of fluids, and she was not to be given an opportunity to eat or drink under her own power.  That is a death sentence, a slow, painfull, lingering death sentence, imposed by a judge, on a handicapped helpless human being.
As far as I am concerned, everyone in government who facilitated this, bears responsibility for this act. 
That was a horrible event, in my mind, one of the most significant events of my life. It tells me where we have come.
Do you ever watch WW2 documentaries, or read about the Nazi's.  Do you see what they became and what they did.  The nazi regime was not an isolated event in human history.  Do you ever wander if it could happen here?
What was done to Terry Schiavo should answer any of these questions.

Don't get me started on Schivo. My head will explode!

I've listened to Limbaugh off and on for 15 years He makes good points then he'll say something that makes me pull out my hair! The egotistical stuff! If you can get through that you can get some good info at times.
It would be interesting to talk to him man to man with no microphone available for the "show"

Hell I think Hannity helped get Obama elected. Screaming like a woman every day about the same old crap.
People,  I think tuned him out. don't get me wrong, what he said is turning out to be accurate but the way he went about it just gave me the reds.

Glenn beck is seeming to be on point right now and a lot of what he has said is turning out to be valid
He is as someone said earlier not taking the hard republican line and just saying what he believes to be things we should be paying attention to! Becks TV show on fox is worth watching, better than his radio show, MHO

All that being said all these people are ENTERTAINERS! So keep it in perspective.  They are basically modern day snake oil salesmen. they have to say whatever it takes to keep people listening and they sell crap on their commercials that is of little use. Flowers, Meat, and Teddy bears for heavens sake!

We should take it all with a grain of salt and do some research ourselves, and not be lazy and let "radio and TV personalities" tell us what is going on!

I've heard some of the others but not enough to make a comment.

Levin is my favorite. 
Next I like Rush
Then Savage.  Nobody, but nobody, can make a "persuasive argument" to a liberal as Savage can.  Occasionally a liberal wil state a leftist point of view w/o resorting to lies, name calling, et.  Savage seems to enjoy a factual, intellectual discussion with such types.  But if a leftist resorts to rolling in the mud, he/she picked the wrong man.  Savage can pummel a liberal like no one else.  It's like watching a field goal kicker kick one out of the stadium.
I like Beck pretty good, he's sharp.  But sometimes he gets a little flaky.  But sometimes, when he gets on a roll, he's hard to beat.
