Are Morning Drive deejays in your area full-blown wingnuts? [View all]
I don't listen to morning drive (partly because I'm retired), but a young facebook friend of mine gets all worked up over the right wing bullshit they spew, and she believes every bit of it.
Earlier this week, she posted an audio from the Walton and Johnson show in which they started with a stream of pro-Islam statements by President Obama. My friend posted something about "this is what he's passionate about". Well, 12 seconds of googling found a long list of pro-Islam quotes by Bush, and I posted a link to them, but she brushed those off, and I dropped it because I like her and her husband and I have lost enough friends over politics already.
So today, she posted another one. The same radio show is now playing clips from McCarthy-era films that were shown to schoolchildren. You know the type... "There's a Communist behind every tree". I'm guessing she doesn't know the history of McCarthyism, and she's all worked up over communism, etc. Needless to say, she hates Obama.
I used to listen to that radio show years ago. They were funny guys, but over the years they started bitching about Mexicans and Blacks more and more, and I stopped listening. That was before Obama was president, and I believe they've gone full-bore right wing since then.
Have they shifted their focus from talk radio to shock jocks, or is this a local thing?
Here's the link. The movie clip starts at the 23:30 minute mark.
