Radio has a unique combination of political correctness sensitivity and tea-bagger ideology. Greed is good but don't say anything that will upset members of any victim/entitlement group (and hire them in the name of "affirmative action," no matter how unqualified and lacking in work ethic).
The same first amendment broadcasters trot out when it suits their interest, necessity and convenience protects anyone's right to make statements others may consider bigoted. If anyone doesn't like it, radios still have on/off buttons and tuning buttons. If enough people do that, a person hired to attract listeners for the spots in his show may find himself replaced. But people who want to organize protests and boycotts or take legal action are just as intolerant as original Nazis (or the religious right).
I also notice that a small minded guy still insists nobody should be allowed to criticize Rush or any right-wing host but feels very free to take shots at hosts HE decides are unacceptable. Sig Heil!

"I KNOW NOTHING! NOTH-ING!!" - Ed "Sergeant" Schultz.
(PS: He ain't kidding. What a moron.) (PS PS to SMG: And this from the lib you hate most. If someone on the other side of the fence does something idiotic, I'm every bit as willing to take him down too. Call it my own "fairness doctrine.")

Why is it so frequently necessary to make that highly vulgar and sexual reference in regard to the super-conservative side of the spectrum? It just makes those hurling the insult look ignorant and puerile.
A guess it is time to invoke Godwin's Law. Comparing partisans of conservative hosts to the National Socialists is offensive as well as historically incorrect (Nazi political strategy focused on anti-big business, anti-bourgeois, and anti-capitalist positions).
I don't care what Ed Schultz says. The entire purpose of this thread was to prove you and a few others are absolute bigots and hypocrites. Thanks for proving me right.
Yes. I have a young adult kid. You're right about short attention spans and finding politics boring. But I bet you were the same when you were 18 or 20 years old. I know I was.
This thread wasn't directed at you, don't worry. The two massive hypocrites I intended to publicly out did exactly as expected. Still waiting for a few minor ones to pop up, but no luck yet.
Because he's ignorant and puerile.
Your entire thread was started with a chip on your shoulder.
You really need to chill out. You tend to overreact to other's comments and then throw hissy fits like a teenage girl. Re-read some of your posts. I honestly cannot tell if you're 17 or 57.
The idea that anyone here is a bigot or hypocrite because they didn't flip out over something the irrelevant Ed Schultz said is laughable. I honestly didn't even know what he said until I read this thread. I also don't see anyone defending him, just some, myself included, pointing out that you tend to rush to defend Limbaugh, for example, while throwing accusations at the other side. Methinks you doth protest too much, a/k/a you often are guilty of exactly what you accuse others of doing.
I tried to reason with you a number of posts back, relating some personal experiences that cause me to react as I do to ANY hosts who are quick with the Hitler/nazi references. Instead of respecting that point, you chose to imagine I was using some debate technique to gain some upper hand. I literally sat here just shaking my head at how paranoid and infantile you're being.
Here's an idea: If you're actually a professional and want to legitimately talk about radio-related issues constructively, then don't create threads with the sole intention of baiting people, just so you can overreact to any responses that don't fit nicely into your vision of a proper answer.

This was an exercise to prove a point. The point was that some people here, even when presented with proof, would refuse to condemn a guy who agrees with the politically for making a statement that would get a right-leaning host with similar audience numbers fired. That's Fred. And those that did condemn him would grudgingly do it with qualifiers that "everyone" does it with "everyone" meaning "mainly conservatives". That's you.
This place has become a circle jerk of bashing conservative hosts. It's been that way for ages. This thread proved it. Maybe now if YOU are interested in doing something constructive, you can refrain from the Oxycontin conspiracy theories and other such nonsense. If you want to see someone being infantile, you really should look in the mirror. Or better yet, point the finger at the people calling others "tea baggers" and such.
Sorry if being outed as a hypocrite hurt your little feelings, but we're supposed to be adults here. Take your lumps like a man and straighten up your act and maybe it won't happen again.
How does condemning what Schulz said make me a hypocrite? Why, because I also rightfully pointed out that right wing hosts not only DON'T get fired for such comparisons, but they do it A LOT more often? Forgive me for not getting all upset because an occasional leftie utters the kind of stupid comment usually uttered by the wingnuts. The disproportionate amount of times that happens is really the only thing noteworthy about Schulz's dumb statement. Also, get a dictionary. You tend to use words whose definitions you clearly do not understand.
And "oxycontin conspiracy theory"? LOL

Again, methinks you doth protest too much.
The only thing your "bait" thread has proven is that a manchild hosts an "old-fashioned morning show" in some podunk market and spends his spare time as an apologist for wingnut radio hosts. Ironically, it turns out that the biggest hypocrite in the "bait" thread, is the OP. Snared in his own trap. LOL

And the guess which group of people are the first to go whine to the moderators about "name-calling"? I've had a few epithets hung on me, in classic examples of the king of "name calling" that is allegedly against the rules, with no reactions or warnings to anyone.
The thing is, as a conservative, I am not surprised or upset by such things, because that's what I expect from liberals.
However, I do not have such a dirty mind that I interpret the words I highlighted as referring to anything except the Tea Party political movement. If anyone assumes that was a reference to something else, get your mind out of the gutter!

ROTFLMAO!!!!! Yeah, great reasons for tuning in like boring talk or the same little handful of songs repeated over and over and over and over.
Talkradio has become all about hating, villifying and demonizing other people. That is the single most identifiable characteristic of many of the "top" hosts.
And some of the posters here. That is the point. You just keep doubling down on that. The personal insults are just icing on the cake.

You keep crying victim, insisting that you are being targeted with personal insults. Meanwhile, you are the biggest offender.

Where in this thread did anyone but you bring up the "Oxycontin conspiracy theories"? Far as I know, the only Oxycontin conspiracy was between Rush Lardbutt and his housekeeper. I'm sorry now I said that you were right on this topic, though even a broken watch is right twice a day. When do you actually find time to do a radio show when you seem to be trolling RD 24-7?
