I've gotta go with O'Reilly, just because he won't even admit he is conservative.

I generally like Sean Hannity.  Bill O'Reilly can be a little overbearing, but he's usually on the right track, in my opinion.

I am not crazy about Bob Novak.  I find Ann Coulter hilarious, even if she sometimes overstates her views.  I have never really listened to Rush Limbaugh because I'm not a big talk radio guy.  I can't have the radio on at work, and I think that's the only time he's really on.

Tucker Carlson is OK, but I've heard it said that he's the conservatives' Alan Colmes, and I think that's largely true.

My favorite liberal commentator is Chris Matthews.  He is not a totally doctrinaire liberal and is sometimes willing to consider other opinions.

With all of them, I can really only take them in relatively small doses.  I can't watch any of these shows on a nightly basis.

You forgot Pat Buchanan.  He is one of my least favorite conservative commentators.

Sean Hannity.  He's a partisan hack who makes me shake my head whenever he speaks.

Coulter can be a bit scary with her support of McCarthyism, but at least she can bring up good points.

I know the poll question is who is your least favorite but I just wanted to say Tucker Carlson is my FAVORITE conservative commentator. No doubt that he is the best out there. I mean who else can handle Begala and Carville so well? Novak is good, too but no one beats Tucker.

My favorite was when someone was on Crossfire and one of the Dems was speaking. He was finishing up talking and Tucker had to ask a question. So to mock the guy he says something like "yeah tax cuts for the rich, Halliburton...tax cuts for the rich...you forgot those." since those are the Dems main talking points. It was hilarious.

I also got to meet Tucker. He had a lecture in the Lehigh Valley and that was fun to listen to. I got to meet him, too. His book is awesome. You can be the most liberal person out there and you'll enjoy they book.

... Sorry keystone I voted for Carlson... Mainly because whenever I've seen him and Novak debate on crossfire(which is not all that often) I often find myself thinking of a ton of good points he forgets to make. But, I don't mind any of these people really.

My list of my favorite radio hosts would go as follws

1.Sean Hannity
2.Hue Hewit
3.Larson(forget his first name)
4.Michael Savage(Hey its fun when he goes on a complete nutty rant about the democrats then goes on a complete tangent about food)
5.Bill O'Rielly

Limbaugh is a bit over rated to me

Tucker Carlson is my least favorite. He's a halfwit who lacks the rhetorical skills AND the backbone to battle left wing pit bulls like James Carville and Paul Begala. If I was sitting on Crossfire instead of Carlson or the senile Robert Novak, I assure you that their ratings would be 25% higher, and at some point, I would get Carville so angry that he would try and come over the table on me...LOL

Carlson is an embarassment to the right wing...

Hey! Carlson is awesome. I'm proud he is representing us on the right on Crossfire. And Carlson also does a good job getting Carville mad because he as Carville is babbling on, constantly looking at the audience for applause, Tucker just continues with the show instead of engaging in a yelling match.

Phil,

The truth is that Carlson loses his arguments on a regular basis, which is pretty damn hard to do when the facts are almost always in your favor.

Ann Coulter is a psychotic witch.  Her support of McCarthyism is unconscionable, as is her statement that one can only be a war hero if they are injured in hand to hand combat.

Bill O'Reilly is a bully who can't seem to accept that he's a conservative.

Bob Novak is a dink who deserves a boot in the head for outing a CIA agent.

Rush Limbaugh is a blowhard, but he's good for a laugh every now and again.  I swear though I want to send him a bag of pills and a transcript of his show where he called Jerry Garcia a "loser who deserved to die".

Sean Hannity is obnoxious but I can deal with him.  It's his partner, the strawman, who I can't stand.

Tucker Carlson I actually like despite the fact that I disagree with him.

Ann Coulter is definitely the worst. A blonde witch, essentially.
