Comments on: How to End the Reign of Shock Jocks http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2007/05/15/the-imus-effect-cbs-shock-jocks-strike-again/ Rory O'Connor's blog Sat, 13 Mar 2010 21:59:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Anonymously Yours http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2007/05/15/the-imus-effect-cbs-shock-jocks-strike-again/#comment-71750 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 21:49:28 +0000 http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2007/05/15/the-imus-effect-cbs-shock-jocks-strike-again/#comment-71750 All of the loudmouths of fascist radio and TV, and those who write books egg on the dissension within our country. And then, when one of their mindless sheep act on the hatred they're spewing, commit murder and then get caught or kill themselves, the evidence is traced back to the fascists of radio, TV and print. But, the members of the fascists nation scatter like cockroaches, running for the shadows, less they be accused. Timothy McVeigh was one of their own, for which loudmouth Rush quickly disavowed McVeigh as being one of their own and disavowing that his rabid talk show bored any responsibility for the Oklahoma City. Limbaugh informed his listeners that McVeigh was a liberal and that the liberals were to blame for the bombing. And that's another part of the fascist right's mantra: pass the buck and never accept responsibility. To get this country straight again, I think it's time the majority of our country marginalized the far right. They are nothing but the tail wagging the dog.

And what were the family names of Savage, O'Reillty et al when they arrived in the U.S? Germanic? Sounds as if these people are nazies or descendants of nazis, and even if they are not they are coarse bullies and thugs. My father and uncles spent 6 years of their lives fighting Nazi thugs. They had the right idea. Limbaugh, Boortz,Sclesinger, Stern, Luntz, Smerconish…Mmmh. And what were the family names of Savage, O’Reillty et al when they arrived in the U.S? Germanic?

So funny about ultra liberals and S.P freaks is they are all about their own agenda but god forbid someone gets offended or gets their poor precious feelings hurt, and they will take their seats right next to the publicity driven special interest groups... In our society the free market/majority should decide what stays and what goes due to ratings and success. Jv and ELvis were #1 solid in San Fran.. San Fran without a doubt is one of the most diverse listening audiences. They had a HUGEEE asian american following who till this day is still behind them. They have helped the community numerous times. But to go on national tv and threaten companies to fire them, to call them every name in the book, and to have the talent gagged and not be able to speak what so ever... Not in a million years will I support that change by force, no thank you... I am grown and can choose for myself, I don't need idiot Sharpton or Smolin to decide. Shrimp flied lice? A prank call... These people compared the prank call to Nazi Germany, something I don't need to even explore.. To wrap it up what it really comes down to is the crazy political correct atmosphere... It is really sickening, even more so that god forbid a white person/ radio guy even makes an attempt at humor- if one minority figure is upset, take the "offender," label him every word that ends in "IST." Fire him and make a fool out of him. It is a blatant double standard in radio and all entertainment... For example the Doghouse made a prank call to a restaurant= suspended 3 weeks w/out pay and fired. Yet Miss Jones a black female on an urban station makes a whole rap song mocking the tsunami and the massive death yet is still employed. Thank god people like Hannity and even Colmes called out these "corporate terrorists" that led the witch hunt on JV and ELvis... Exposed them and totally pointed out the obvious flaws and over sights in their "Case" against Jv and Elvis. ...Sticks and stones, grow up.. "America the land of over sensitive cry babies" Wow talk about someone that has no clue as to what they are talking about… So funny about ultra liberals and S.P freaks is they are all about their own agenda but god forbid someone gets offended or gets their poor precious feelings hurt, and they will take their seats right next to the publicity driven special interest groups… In our society the free market/majority should decide what stays and what goes due to ratings and success.
