“This is Lars Larson of The Lars Larson show. To reach our show call 1-866-Hey-Lars”, lars, lars… I believe the word “lars” should be the new blah, blah, blah. Any poor soul who has listened to The Lars Larson Show will find 79%* of what he’s saying B.S.
Our #1 radio bully began his broadcasting career at the age of sweet sixteen in Tillamook, Oregon (famous for cheese, coincidentally enough). After attending the University of Oregon, he continued to build his gabtastic abilities in such urban markets as Eugene and later Spokane, WA. With his experience growing, Larson returned to our sweet state to dominate AM airwaves ever since. In 2000, The Lars Larson Show was created to honor his shocking ability to draw audiences throughout the state.
As a conservative talk show host, Larson has rubbed elbows with some of Oregon’s finest conservatives and pissed off 95%* of Oregon’s liberals (which is basically everyone in the state). Representing the right on the left coast, he has attacked and drawn controversy over his antics against state and federal politicians. In 2007, Larson publically aimed his AM-radio gun at Governor Ted Kulongoski in suspicion of Ted’s involvement with the Neil Goldschimidt case. Whether or not Kulongoski helped cover up Neil’s love for teens has been debated and investigated. The fact that no one in Oregon respects Larson’s opinions to investigate the “evidence” he brought forth, makes me laugh; proof Lars really has pissed off the entire state of Oregon!
However, Larson did not stop with just our political representatives. A concealed weapon permit has provided Larson the tool to prove just how nutty he is. Any person that physically threatens his family, Lars will reciprocate with lethal force. With the inordinate amount of L-arsonists, I’m shocked he hasn’t killed multiple people. Also, you know that you’re a flashpoint when your radio station is hit by a car, and the first thing people think is that the driver must be a disgruntled Lars listener!
Its a shame there isn’t a reality tv show covering his daily interactions with Oregonians. I feel like it would be a combination of Tyra/Ted Nugent type dramedy. Sadly, Larson hides in Vancouver, WA which is one large dumpy Republican refugee camp.
*83% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
If you wouldnt protect yourself and your family from harm, and yes I mean shoot them, you are a dumbass. Its to bad oregons economy is the way it is, run by a bunch of morons that cant figure out they are the cause. all they are worried about is how to protect you from yourself, and save the planet. gas prices on on the rise, i have my own long haul truck, here we go again, fuel is over 3 dollars a gallon on the east coast, i am suprised you liberals arent saying it bushes fault again, god forbid(oh yeah i forgot most of you dont believe in god) you say any bad about obama, he cant have anything to do with it. a black MUSLUM running the country and a dumb pollock(not all are dumb)running the beautiful state of oregon,both are democrats, we are all in trouble!!!…..GO LARS LARSON…..KEEP REPORTING ON THE SHADY THINGS THE LIBERAL SCUM ARE DOING TO RUIN THE COUNTRY AND STATE
Chris.. please get a life
Yes Matt, obfuscation is a tactic that Lars employs often. Anytime a caller has Lars on the spot, as it sounds like you did, he quickly weasles his way out of that spot by changing the subject or focus of the conversation altogether. He often does it in a sly way, so that the non-critical thinking listener (i.e., most of Lars’ audience) won’t notice it. But occasionally, he just does a complete, unapologetic 180 on the conversation.
He did this to me once, too. We were talking about the legality of marijuana and alcohol, and I had Lars up against a rope where he couldn’t logically continue on the same train of thought without completing blowing his own argument right out of the water. Sensing this, he COMPLETELY changed the subject. And when I asked him, very politely, if we could please stay on topic and finish discussing what we were talking about, he got in a last word and then hung up on me. He very clearly does not like to “lose” arguments, and Larson rigs his show accordingly.
BTW, Larson now has a company called “Reputation Defender” working for him. This company is supposed to “cover-up” negative things said about you on the Internet. LOL! Lars should ask for his money back!
Dave — I’m not at all doubting the Reputation Defender thing (sounds exactly like something he’d do, actually) but I was wondering, do you know of any internet sources I could cite? I think that tidbit would be a juicy addition to the Lars wikipedia article, and they’re going to want citation(s).
Ryan, I don’t know of any citations, per se. I only know about it because Larson himself admitted he uses Reputation Defender in commercials on his shows. Larson also had the CEO on one time for an “interview” (I’d imagine the “interview” was part of his paid advertising package), and there too, Larson acknowledged that he was using Reputation Defender’s services.
Driving from Bend to Eugene today, I warmed-up on Rush and then found Lars on the dial. I suffered through endless commentary and parody about Obama the communist. I giggled through callers who agreed “100%” with Lars that Obama’s speech to students was facistic and totalitarian. I couldn’t take it any more. I called from the car and asked Lars to read on air the communist or totalitarian passages from Obama’s speech to students.
After bloviating about Obama smoking “pot” and Lars not understanding where he got the money to buy the pot, Lars hung up on me. His skills of obfuscation are generally impressive, but this was weak. I really expected Lars to have the self-respect and respect for his listeners to answer such a straight-forward (and obvious) question.
I do hate to help boost his rating, but one day I might give him another shot!
I think it’s great that Oregon has Lars. I can’t think of any place more deserving. You libs need a good poke in the eye. Just a bunch of self assured insolents. I really like your beaches. PR
^and that contributed nothing
It is a shame that Portland can’t suck hard enough to pull all the lefties out of Washington and help us disinfect the state. Lars is about the only thing in that “city” that DOESN’T suck.
Rag, sure thing. He said if anybody ever “attacked his car with their bike, he’d shoot them”. Do you really think they’re going to let him do his radio show from prison? I doubt it.
Here’s something else about Lars Larson:
