I hope staff lets me post this. Those of us who were his fans have lost a tremendous conservative voice.

R.I.P., "Uncle Lee".

I used to listen to him and he was the best host in the Bay Area. RIP.

Tears in my eyes and a wry smile on my face. That´s how "Uncle Lee" would have it.

Melanie is back at KSFO in Lee´s morning slot with Brian Sussman. Lee did the best radio interviews bar none. What a tragic loss. I wish Susan all the help she needs to live with her loss.

Fantastic radio personality. Yes a solid Conservative voice but also one with a great sense of humor. He made the mundane entertaining. I was HUGELY disappointed when KSFO let him go a couple of years back, after listening to him daily for 6 years in SF, and 10 years over the internet from multiple locations around the world. The man has been missed by many for a while now. RIP.

Oh No! I´ve been working late and have not checked my radiorodgers.com site. I´m so disappointed and upset. He was one of my favorite bloggers. He had such a way of nailing the issues, and he would e-mail you back when you sent messages.

Lee Rodgers was my morning coffee for many years. He could always wake me up both with his commentary or his dry wit.

Condolences to Lee´s and the KSFO family. He had the greatest radio voice and the rapport among Melanie, Officer Vic and Lee made my mornings. When I moved to CA from Atlanta in 1999 and had to leave Neal Boortz behind, I didn´t think I´d find anyone to replace him then discovered KSFO. Back to Atlanta 5 years ago, Neal was still here but I´ve lost him again, this time to retirement.
Glad Melanie is back with Brian. Used to enjoy him in the evenings.

A lot of people don´t know that it was Lee Rodgers who got Mark Levin hooked on talk radio. Mark was a regular caller in to the Lee Rodgers show and moved on to become Rush´s legal analyst, F. Lee Levin.

for many of the 30+ years we lived in the Bay Area, Lee was one of the few people who helped me maintain my sanity and kept me out of jail. If it were not for him, I would have likely throttled and strangled most of the liberals who surrounded me. His morning program was my little oasis of conservative thought.

RIP Lee. You will be missed. You were a pro...

Oh my goodness...so sad to read this about Mr. Lee Rogers...I cut my conservative teeth on his broadcasts for years while living in CA. What a jewel he was ... he´s probably kicking up lots of commotion in his new realm - and loving every bit of it. A genuinely bright, caring and wonderful guy, RIP, Sir.

So sad to hear this. I have been a loyal reader of his blog for several years. It eases the sadness to imagine him up there discussing the issues with the likes of Barry Goldwater, RR, Tony Snow and Andrew Breitbart. He´s in great company.

It was tough being one of the few conservatives in the Bay Area for the 20 years I lived there until realizing the best thing for my sanity was to just get the hell out before they taxed and regulated me into a little nub.
Lee, Melanie and Officer Vic were great therapy, letting us know we weren´t alone and completely voiceless.
RIP, Lee.

Our hearts go out to Lee´s family and to Melanie who loved him so. He was so kind and helpful to us here when we first started and throughout our years. We did his radio show many times and thrilled to his smart clever take on life. We shan´t see his like again.

OMG! I am floored! I can´t believe he is gone. Now I am crying. I loved Lee Rodgers and his show. Lee and Melanie kept me ready to go every morning for several years. In fact, Melanie first talked about Lucianne.com on their morning show and that is how I came here some 13 years ago. I am glad to hear that Melanie is back with Brian in the morning.

God bless the Rodgers family. My thoughts and prayers are with them. Rest in peace, Uncle Lee. We will miss you something terrible.

I started listening to the Lee Rodgers-Melanie Morgan show back in, approximately, 1995. My radio alarm was set for 50 AM and listening to the show got me in a frame of mind that permitted me to leave for work in a edified condition. Melanie mentioned her teaming up with Lee at KGO; Lee, on the other hand, would have referred to it as that “call-letter-deficient” station, a phrase that still makes me chuckle. Another source of humor arose from Lee’s laborious search of world newspapers until he would come up with a story of some truly weird happening in another country. Lee, his co-hosts (including Officer Vic) and the stellar cast of guests he interviewed really enriched my life. He is irreplaceable.

Wow, this one hurt.
Lee was my AM drive-to-work radio companion for many years before I left Cali for the equally nutty Seattle area. Working in SF with Melanie and ´OV´, Lee was a force of nature. He took no prisoners, especially RINO´s like Colin Powell. He seemed to relish working and living in "the Special City" or the "world´s largest outdoor insane asylum" as he called it.
I had occasional email correspondence with him over the years. Great sense of humor and a political visionary to boot.
RIP Lee, and that´s Rodgers with a "D´.

I, too, lived in the Bay Area and Lee Rodgers, et.al., got me going in the morning and put me in a good frame of mind to face my middle schoolers! I loved that program and couldn´t start the day without them. Went through Melanie´s and Officer Vic´s antics and discussions. Glad Brian Sussman is still there. Many times, I wrote to Lee especially his blogs here on lucianne.com. He always responded with politeness and humbleness. I am so sorry he has left us, but he left his footprint with conservative radio talk shows!

Sorry to post twice on the same thread, but it was Lee and Melanie´s constant referencing of this site, and their interviews with our beloved Ms. Lucianne that got me to join this site in about 2000, and I´ve never left.

Andrew came a-courting one day. He had been introduced to my daughter, Susie by my son Max, her brother. Max and Andrew were best friends. Just out of college, Max worked as a busboy at a high-end restaurant called 72 Market Street. Andrew was a waiter (higher status) at a nearby diner called Hal´s. Susie brought him home to seek her father’s approval. My wife, the actress Alley Mills, and I had them to dinner. Andrew sat at the table in front of a window.

The battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party has begun. On one side is the Tea Party. On the other side stand Karl Rove and his establishment team, posing as tacticians while quietly undermining conservatism. Yesterday, the New York Times reported that the “biggest donors in the Republican Party” have joined forces with Karl Rove and Steven J. Law, president of American Crossroads, to create the Conservative Victory Project. The Times reports that this new group will dedicate itself to “recruit seasoned candidates and protect Senate incumbents from challenges by far-right conservatives and Tea Party enthusiasts ..

I was having a really good day yesterday when it call came crashing down when I read a post on a friend and colleague’s Facebook page. We had lost a mutual friend and colleague. Lee Rodgers died early yesterday morning after many long hours of heart surgery and attempts to save his life. I immediately began to shake and then the tears flowed and flowed as I buried my face in my hands. He was not only a friend of mine and a former co-worker. Lee was instrumental in my pursuit of talk radio as a career.

Any hope that Jon Hammar, the Marine imprisoned in Mexico on a disputed gun charge, might be freed in time for Christmas has apparently been dashed by a terse letter a top Mexican diplomat sent to Hammar’s congresswoman.(Snip) "As you know well, Mexico has had very stringent gun-control laws in place for many years, and have reinforced their application as a result of the flow of weapons illicitly purchased in the U.S. and then trafficked into Mexico and into the hands of transnational criminal organizations," Sarukhan wrote.

If present trends continue, the Republicans will likely soon fall out of political viability; and the Grand Old Party will be the Grand Defunct Party. They are well on their way to becoming the 21st Century incarnation of the Whigs.Let’s consider: At the national level, Republicans have lost four of the last six presidential elections; if one measures the popular vote, they have lost five of the last six. Indeed, over the last six elections, the GOP has averaged approximately 44.8 percent of the popular vote, whereas the Democrats have won 48.8 percent.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
