Anybody listened to AM hate radio recently..?

Got a new truck and was fiddling with the radio. Clicked onto AM mode and got about a minute of Medved. I lasted a minute because I was so gobsmacked by the shit he was saying. And he's relatively sane, compared to the stuff I read than Han-nutty and Limbaugh say.

Apparently Medved missed the Republican-dominated committee report that exonerated the State Dept and Hillary on Benghazi.

And Bill Clinton is at fault for the 9-11 attacks.

Jesus H Christ on a rubber crutch...

There are areas of this country where you can only get RW radio on the AM dial. No wonder people are fucked up.

Watches Fox News constantly, reads RW websites, listens to AM radio. He is a completely different person than he was 15 years ago. Much anger, little ability to reason.

I think those of us with an IQ greater than room temperature (in Celsius) have switched to the Internet to get their entertainment, news and commentary.

AM radio is for Luddites.

Some of them actually have very high IQs, but 20 years of constant brainwashing has done the job. I know one who is working on this PHD and believes the economy was better under Bush than Clinton, Iraq was on the verge of nuking us into oblivion in 2003, and Obama is a KGB plant to destroy the country are just a few of the insanities I've heard from him.

He's most likely claiming that the Oregon shooting was staged and the government is coming to take our guns away.
