Was Anthony always a conservative?

2  2016-08-12 by pjwils

I'm listening to the 2004 archive and Anthony proudly declares he didn't vote in the 2004 election and doesn't care who won.

Was it the prospect of a black 'socialist' president that pushed him to the right?

The racism is what did it. Well, racism and the fact that NIGGERBAMA STOLE ALL HIS DARN MONEYS!!! HARD-EARNED MONEY HE MADE BY BEING A TALKY PERSON 4 HOURS A DAY, 4 DAYS A WEEK. THAT'S HARD FUCKING LABOR MAN. AND NOW HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THAT BECAUSE OF ONE OF OBAMA'S AGENTS STARTING A FIGHT WITH HIM ON THE STREET WHERE HE WASN'T CREEPSHOOTING HER WHILE SHE WAS ON HER CORNER PROSTITUTING HERSELF

Melinda left him for a black man. THAT'S the straw that broke the camels back. Why does nobody ever bring this up?

Oh shit I never knew that. Well obviously that's it, the love of your life leaves you you're going to need some way to justify it to yourself.

He was the one to leave Melinda. I think taxes and guns is what pushed him to the right. Racism is just an obvious conclusion to come to.

Thanks for playing along. NOT

Melinda? No, she left him when he was at the casino. He was at the poker table being a piece of shit with no self-control and probably rage issues, and she announced that she was leaving. Like, really leaving. This was after she realized that she likely never loved him at all and was just into his radio fame. Lol.

He was being a "real piece of shit" by just playing poker with what was mostly his own money? Idk, if you think that was a "go-girl" situation for her and he was a big "racist scumbag" for not giving her whatever he won at the table...youre kind of a huge faggot, lol, despite the fact that O&A suck now.

He was being a piece of shit because he is a piece of shit. I imagine he was being a huge sore loser and drunken ass at the table, like he's mentioned being in the past.

Imagine the grown man you're dating having his manservant bring a pillow to a crowded poker table so he could scream into it. No woman on earth could be attracted to such a pathetic character.

You'd be surprised some of the shit that a lot of chicks would overlook for money

Except she didn't is the point.

Except I'm sure she did. Like most girlfriends she was probably off playing slots and not even watching them play blackjack, and if they broke up at a casino, I'm sure it was for another reason, shes a girlfriend not an angry radio listener, but I'm not totally caught up on his dating history like many on here. I just highly doubt having a personal assistant was part the she reason she dumped him, and being all animated playing blackjack was kinda funny, not all girls need a "le gentleman" type.

Except she didn't is the entire point of these comments, and the reality of what actually happened.

Yeah the manservant part wasn't the point of the last comment, obviously. It was the grown man screaming into a pillow while surrounded by other grown men that was clearly the problem. Not sure why you're being such a fag about this.

How the hell do you know what she did? And > He was at the poker table being a piece of shit with no self-control and probably rage issues, and she announced that she was leaving. Like, really leaving. This was after she realized that she likely never loved him at all and was just into his radio fame. Lol. isnt a faggy comment? She was dating shock jock Anthony from The Opie & Anthony Show, you really get all "girl power" for her because you want to think she walked off after one time he got animated playing blackjack? Speculate what you want about an irrelevant radio host's relationships 20 years ago but thats kind of a gay comment. A lot of people get pissed playing high stakes blackjack and their girlfriends dont leave them for it, especially when they were in it for the money in the first place, lol.

Anthony has always been fiscally conservative and socially liberals thus leaning towards the right but nowhere near the left.

:Small government :leave people alone :lower taxes :ease of gun laws :pro choice :gay rights :very strong military

If anything since tacs started he seems to be airing some pretty left views for Anthony Cumia.

I seem to think that people who tend to lean right while trying to obtain fame and fortune feel that they need to pander to liberals in order to rise.

Just like how Norton thinks going left like Big Amy is going to fix his career and make him famous.

Anthony in the Bush years was always odd. He rallied against the rights religious agenda, talked about how much of a disaster the Iraq War was along with Bush's poor foreign policy and anti-terrorism plans, and others. But he also completely hated the left for being anti-war (though in hindsight it was justified) and their supposed leniency against terrorists. He was definitely more balanced than he was today.

That's what it seems like. It seems like as he's become more blinkered and fixated on certain topics as he's become older... maybe the booze has something to do with it.

He used to rail against Rudy a bunch when they at WNEW too, and didn't seem to hate Clinton.

So Anthony was an early alt righter then?

He didn't vote in a similar way I wouldn't vote if it was Jeb Bush vs. Hillary.

He's actually on the anti-climate change against science bandwagon now.

Yep, which cements him as a pure retard. That anti-science shit is just indefensible on every single level. There's not even the smallest kernel of truth behind the global warming denialism shit.

He's also heavily into Lost Cause stuff now, which seems odd for Anthony. You would think he'd be completely fine with the Civil War being about slavery as its only Southerners who wish to whitewash their past and appear to be non-racist with the whole "Heritage Not Hate" angle. Northerners with Southern sympathies tend to do it precisely because of how racist the Southerners were.

He's always been right-leaning as far as I know. Maybe his age, or maybe the fact that he was accumulating great money pushed him further right. I don't really understand the race stuff, unless he always felt that way and just toned it down for the show until he didn't care anymore.

With great money comes great douchebaggery.

No one else was more left wing before Obama was elected?

He became conservative when he entered into the >50% tax bracket. He became racist when he decided all that money was going to blacks.

He's still transitioning.

I dont remember Ant saying jack shit political or talking about guns until he built his mcmansion

When he was still with Melinda and before the compound (2005?), there was one morning he announced he was going to buy a shotgun, because he was worried about home invasions.

At the time, I got the impression he didn't own any other guns.

Yeah but not always a blowhard cunt.

At wnew he never talked about politics & did the same Bill Clinton blowjob jokes as everyone else. So it's surprised me in 2000 when he said he was a republican & voting for GWB.

Also, he didn't own a gun for a long time. I think he bought his first one after he bought his Long Island house which was way into XM days

He really became a right wing nigger hating gun right before Obama got elected. It was downhill after that.

The stupidest part is that Obama turned out to be a boring centrist, essentially Bill Clinton, except less successful, and less horny. Yet Anthony was so determined to prove that he was somehow a radical when in fact Obama was just a slightly darker member of the good ol boys club. To hear Ant ramble on, you'd actually think we just had 71/2 years of President Sharpton.

Centrist? You're fucking retarded.

No, he's just not being a retard. Anyone with perspective can see Obama is a centrist AT BEST. Obama isn't even a centrist, though; he's center-right with absolutely no ability to enact anything but the most basic of right-leaning policy because the Republicans hate niggers.

I know using these words makes you feel smart, but you make no sense. Not a bit.

Having someone as dumb as you state that someone as smart as me is as indecipherable as I am is a huge boost to my self-esteem this afternoon, thank you.

He was being a piece of shit because he is a piece of shit. I imagine he was being a huge sore loser and drunken ass at the table, like he's mentioned being in the past.
