MAJOR CRIME: HATE RADIO
How’s them painkillers, Rush? Bwahahahahahahahahaha! Hoo dawg, now that’s poetic justice writ large. Take that, you hypocritical dog-dick.
“Ethics! Morals! The decline of family values! Uh . . . excuse me while I fuel up on Oxycontin. Aah, much better. Now what was I saying? Oh, yeah. Toss ‘em in prison and throw away the key! You pot smokers are the cause of all the nation’s troubles, you black hearted bastards! Always smoking up, giggling and eating all the corn chips.”
Ah, well. What else can you expect from a guy named after a classic high school inhalant anyway?
It does look, however, like Rush will be forgiven by his masses of hypnotic followers. Ye Olde American Double Standard strikes again. People still send money to televangelists too. It’s mind boggling.
As I’ve written elsewhere in this little tome of mine, I’m all for free speech. Right wing, conservative radio jockeys have every right to broadcast whatever they want. It just seems odd to me that the FCC will fine Howard Stern for using “bad” words, but could care less about someone broadcasting racial and religious extremism. Call me a dreamer, but shouldn’t they exercise fairness when adjudicating these matters?
Does G. Gordon Liddy still have a radio show? It’s easy to see why he got a show in the first place.
“Hey, this guy was convicted in the worst political scandal in U.S. history! I’ll bet he has some interesting things to say.”
Interesting in the same way that a 15-car pile up is interesting.
How many of you tune in to Hate Radio just for the entertainment value? I have. In an odd way, it makes me feel better about myself. Damn. I’m glad I’m not as fucked up as this guy. It’s the same reason people watch Jerry Springer, that complete sense of wonder that the freaks you’re watching actually exist. I still think Springer’s guests are making shit up just to get on television. Could those three sisters really all be pregnant by the 1200-pound toothless guy that smells like a toilet brush? And if your ten year old daughter is turning tricks to help pay for your sex change operation, you need to be shot into the vacuum of space, alright? Call NASA, I’m sure they’d offer to do it for free.
Let’s say you can stomach listening to right wing radio for more than twenty minutes. Have you ever heard them go that long without mentioning Jesus or the Bible? Hey, if Jesus shows up, I’m more than willing to listen to what he has to say, but until then they need to make their points based on rational argument, not on 2000 year old prophesy. I need to form my views while considering the facts of nuclear weapons and AIDS, not the fact that Roman soldiers were bullies or the Celts were naked and blue. Give me something relevant, damn it.
I recently heard one conservative radio guy complaining that he doesn’t get enough phone calls from the “millions” of listeners he knows are out there. Hmm. He must be referring to the listeners of other shows, because his audience apparently consists of a couple hundred agoraphobics in Tennessee and twelve guys in Montana that want to secede from the Union. And yet, even with such a tiny audience and no phone calls, the radio network still keeps his money-losing show on the air. Something stinks in Agendatown, folks, and it just might be the dead carcass of our public airwaves.
