A Special Kind of Stupid

[FOTD]

What kind of drug addict could start up something called "Operation Chaos"?

Encouraging people to commit a crime is the low of all lows when you have the power of media at your control. It's unAmerican what this schmoe is up to.

Please buy the products advertised on this idiots broadcast. That way we can identify you.

I listened to Neal Fartz's replay tonight for all of 5 minutes as I was seeking the Seigleman breaking news. Unbelievable the attacking hatred allowed on local stations towards Obama based on exaggerations and fact manipulations both true and false. The campaign by implication needs to be curtailed. Whatever happened to broadcast rules prohibiting outright lies and distortions? The venom they spew is made available by sponsors who care not about the subject matter. Greed and ratings keep these bums fat, happy, and on drugs. Their audience absorbs it all then goes on to watch Nascar or Reality TeeVee with eyes glazed over.

I think what has happened with Jeremiah Wright is that, whatever you think of him, and however unfair the media has been to him, he has given the right a way to mobilize resentment against Barack Obama that they never had before ... [Wright] is presented as the quintessential angry black man that the right wing loves to incite hatred against. So Sean Hannity is running with this as far as he can.
-- Journalist Max Blumenthal


And then there's this krud.....

Americans should demand civility from fright wing journalism! And America's Fourth Estate should establish a new code of ethics and laws to stop intolerance. Fright wing nuts are all unwilling to even recognize or respect differences in our society. Shamefull  they call themselves Americans.

Gee, can you imagine all his homophobic, xenophobic, sexist white male listeners getting worked up into an erotic lather while tuning into Michael Savage? We can, and it's scary that in our society, Savage is paid to be on the airwaves. He's an affront to a civilized society. His radio program appeals to our worst instincts as Americans. After each broadcast, he leaves the world a little more barbaric.

I really have a hard time understanding how companies can take the risk to advertise on this piece of crap radio station!....74o on your am dial.....

K, I've sat patiently by the sidelines.

Hannity, Rush, O-Reilly, Savage... they are all entertainers.  That's what they do.  It doesn't matter if you listen or read about them because you hate them, are merely interested, or because you worship them.  Audience numbers are what matter.

Saying who or what should be on the radio only gives them more fodder for talk and backs up the rhetoric they spout about restricting conservative points of view.  Belittling their audiences and insulting their intelligence also only helps to reinforce their importance.  What did you hope to accomplish?

I split my time pretty evenly between KRMG and NPR (KRMG would take the cake if we counted Tulsa sports coverage, with ease).  The talking heads on conservative radio offer interesting perspectives and a window into a large swath of our society.  You don't have to agree with them to find that interesting nor do you have to listen to their repeated banter to get the gist of them (85% of my radio is in the car).

For 3 weeks now you have done all you can to keep this thread alive by having a conversation with yourself calling everyone else stupid.  I'm tired of checking the thread to see if there is any real discussion... let it die.

[FOTD]

I don't believe nothing will change and the same gang of evil pukes will continue in perpetuity. The thread will stay alive through the election in November due to these commedians brain washing of the American hick. Racism and hatred are their vehicle. It needs to be crashed.

Interesting that one would consider the demagogue preponderance of hate and racism as entertainment. It's not.

BTW, while mostly ads for their own KRMG products, others who pay to spread hate are Airco (Lenox) and John Q. Hammond.

I'm sorry, when I read the title of the thread and saw that you authored it I assumed it was an autobiographical piece...

Now that's funny. I was actually thinking it was authored by the person from the discussion forum who compared getting an abortion to getting a haircut.

Hannity isn't running for office last time I checked.  Who cares?  Everyone knows Republican pundits are all closeted gay dope smokers.

Interesting, I don't even like Sean Hannity and I never got that closeted gay-vibe from him. Give him a mustache, and he may make for a passable leather-man, but even that would be a stretch.

Well, now Guido, aren't you pro-life? If so, hopefully you're more sensible than the losers over at Army of god, or Operation Rescue or some other weirdo pro-life outfit.

What are you talking about? I am pro-life, but my post was directed at a moronic comparison made by a pro-abortion advocate on this forum who compared getting an abortion to getting a haircut. As far as being "sensible", I would hope anybody would interpret such a comparison as moronic as well, notwithstanding if they are members of the radical Army of God (notice how I capitalize God) or Operation Rescue.
Perhaps I am wrong. Maybe you too believe such a comparison is valid.

The small g in God was a typo, I will freely admit.

I'm becoming more and more neutral on the abortion issue. I look at both sides these days and it's becoming a bit too extreme for my liking. Since I'm not a woman and cannot bear children, and have never married, the pro-choice angle really doesn't apply to me. At the same time, I look at some of the pro-life people demonstrating in front of clinics these days, and they're just plain weirdo's, what with their theatrics and histrionics; hopefully, Guido, you're a little more level-headed.

As for remarks regarding the membership of groups such as Operation Rescue and Army of God (hey I capitalized it this time!) where I characterized them as losers, I openly stand by my assessment. All we have to do is look at their the individual histories and homelives and lifestyles of some of these people to establish this. And there's a larger agenda in mind too: if they can have their way on the abortion issue, what else are they going to demand?

[cannon_fodder]

AOX, I must not listen to Rush or Hannity as much as you do - because I have never heard them be racist nor more hateful than any other political discussion. They are closed minded ideologues in my opinion, but hateful racists?

[FOTD]

It is something to watch the discussion manipulated away from the threads original intent. What are you? Lackey's for K Street lobbyists?

The abortion side track and the personal attacks do not cover up the fact that the fright wing followers in this country plan to play on your fears rather than your hopes. The fright wing would go as far as try to make you think we all in the left and left of center are conspiring for ending hunting and religious beliefs in America.

And Hillary Clitton has started the Republicrat movement as she joins forces with the evil doers.

Well then, you certainly can play stupid too....

I listen to their drivel sparsely and hear hate and racism continuously be it in the form of Reverend Wright speeches taken out of context or the mocking use of Jews to set a tone of "he's going to destroy Israel because he is tied to Farrakhan". It's all baiting.
