Why the "EFF" is Jimmy Buffet being promoted by Hate-Radio? [View all]

Please excuse my salty Sailor language, but this pisses me the fuck off.

Jimmy Buffet is coming to town. Great music, loyal fans and he puts on a great show.

Our local wingnut hate-radio station is doing a promotion giving away free tickets.

Why the fuck do we continue to treat these fucking piece of shit radio stations as if everything’s just fucking “normal”.

Here’s the line-up of my local hate station.
0600-1000: Local Wingnut who tries to play both-siderism, but is nothing but a toxic racist asshat
1000-1200: Brian Kilmeade (yes, even a no talent hack from Faux and Fiends can have a radio show as long as they attack Democrats and suck Retrumplican dick non-stop)
1200-1500: Rush (enough said)
1500-1800: Hannity (Putin’s favorite host)
1800-1900: Some local “Let’s rip-off military retirees and anyone with a TSP account 'investment' show”
1900-2100: Michael “Fucking Weiner” Savage

These stations, along with hundreds of others in every nook and cranny of this country, have done nothing but demonize and dehumanize our friends, neighbors, co-workers and families for over 30 fucking years now.

When do we stop just treating them as if; “well, that’s just business”.

This is NOT normal! I’m sorry, IT IS NORMAL because we’ve enabled it to be normalized.

Sure, these stations do nothing but take a giant shit on over 50% of the communities they serve, but hey! Jimmy Buffet tickets!!!!

It’s fucking maddening.

When is enough going to be fucking enough? Would it be when these stations and their hosts are responsible to causing a stupid government shutdown that is ruining people’s lives and livelihoods?

Hey folks! We’re fucking there!!!!!!

Maybe we should just continue to ignore it. Maybe we should just accept it as normal.

“Hey, we give you 160 hours a week of nothing but toxic garbage, but be sure to tune in for the Ohio State Buckeyes taking on the Minnesota Golden Gophers in a classic Big Ten Basketball game. By the way, be sure to stay tuned after the game so that Rush can tell you how your next door neighbor’s daughter is a “slut”, and how the family of immigrants across the street that run your local restaurant are just ‘parasites coming to kill you’. Please don’t miss Hannity after the game as well, so you can understand how the guy who works at the Naval Base and coaches your kid’s softball team is just “sucking at the teat of gubmint, is probably a terrorist, and…god forbid…has a decent pension”.

These fucking radio stations ought not be giving away concert tickets…they should be fucking toxic to anyone and any company that comes within 1,000 fucking yards of them.

These radio station own this fucking stupid shutdown as much as Donnie “Tiny Hands” does.

When the fuck do we actually start making them fucking pay for the terrible harm they’ve done to our country?
