Jesus on the Radio: what's it like where you live?

6. KKLA Los Angeles!

Which really needs one more "K" in its name...a joke I can never resist. Along with good old Bible/family programming, it serves up a steaming pile of right-wing politics.

Like many Xian radio stations, owned by Salem Communications. A name almost as ironic as KKLA.

One of the most obnoxious loudmouths was the former pro baseball player, the late Frank Pastore (died in a 2012 motorcycle accident).

Pastore claimed to be a "former atheist" and repeated that endlessly. Though it sounded more like he just wasn't very religious until he got converted by some Fundies.

Once Pastore had a fit of temporary insanity or something. He opined that whatever else he might think about Barack Obama, the Obamas seemed to be great parents who had raised great kids.

Boy howdy! The station's phone lines burned up. I remember one guy who called in just SCREAMING that the Obamas were not great parents, they were demonic liberal sinners going straight to hell. Along with their kids. Lots of other callers said virtually the same thing.

Pastore seemed downright shocked at the reaction from his "good Xian" listeners. I don't know why. He and all the others of his ilk demonized Obama 24/7, accusing him of everything from General Mopery to Being Kenyan.

"Gee, I don't know what happened! All I did was open this can of gasoline and throw it all over the room. How could I have possibly known some crazy person would strike a match?"
