What set me off:
The senior wingnut host said that during the insurrection DRUMPF was "stunned and it was reported he said, 'My people don't do that.' "
******To which I fired off an email (while he was on the air) :
"Liar/You. Drumpf was not 'stunned' or said 'my people don't do that'. He was watching tv THRILLED and was puzzled that those in the room weren't thrilled.
What's your life game spreading lies?"
******To which he replied:
"He was also reported as saying something like 'My people don't do that'."
******To which I replied:
"you *repeated* your original LIE. When you say (AGAIN) that DRUMPF said, 'My people don't do that,' you are saying that he was APPALLED at the terrorism he incited, that he DISAPPROVED of it. You don't dispute that he was THRILLED watching it on t.v., which is the opposite of DISAPPROVING. The two things are not compatible with each other. He was THRILLED. He never DISAPPROVED. And for you to say that the quote was 'REPORTED' doesn't give you a way out. What reporting do you follow? And don't be flattered that I tune in you Deplorable wingnuts. It's very little, and it only takes a very little, to keep track of the shameless crap you all put out. It's Opposition Research, and as I said to (producer) who wanted me to send me a K*** (station call letters) t-shirt because he said I'm 'a loyal listener', that would be to me like wearing a SWASTIKA. Shame, shame, that you wingnuts have shown yourselves willing to sell out the country and democracy for such a pitiful, cowardly, amoral a-hole."
--------------------------************* I'm thinking that his addled brain (and it IS) twisted the version of "My people don't do that," away from when DRUMPF said that it was too bad the rioters were "so low class" (not HIS kind of people).

(17,498 posts)It's not just that they broadcast nothing but racism and hate from Rush, Hannity and whatever other national wingnut fill the other 12 hours of programming, it's also that all their local hosts in the mornings or weekends are just "cookie-cutter" hatemongers.
A vast majority of these stations have studios and offices in cities that overwhelmingly trend blue. They spend 24 hours a day smearing, lying about, demeaning and encouraging hatred of the very citizens of their city.
Quite a few of these stations also happen to be the home of NFL, NBA, MLB, and NCAA Sports
As much as Donnie Dipshit, these stations are RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INSURRECTION OF JANUARY 6
There should be massive protests at these stations.
There should be sustained, relentless and unyielding boycotts of any local or national business that advertises for one second on these stations.
The time to take Hate Radio to task for their disgusting and DANGEROUS RHETORIC is 3 decades past due.
