Rush Limbaugh serves it up daily, hours at a time. Little real information, even less actual fact, all wrapped up in a shell of venom.
Bill O'Reilly is also a purveyor of hate masquerading as "news." Continually feeding his audience a menu of mean spirited bias, twisted realities, and baiting them into horrific behaviors (Dr. George Tiller's murder as Exhibit A), O'Reilly is a master of aiming the gun but relying on someone else to have the actual balls to pull the trigger.
The trigger has now been pulled and O'Reilly seems surprised.
Sorry, Bill. That's what hatespeak will get you. Brainwashed, self righteous followers who think you hung the moon and that if they do as you say, they will earn your respect.
Do you respect Scott Roeder, Bill? If one revisits all 29 times you highlighted Dr. Tiller on your program, calling him Tiller The Baby Killer, likening him to a Nazi, stating he aborted babies just for the hell of it - no real reason needed - one certainly can assume you are quietly patting yourself on the back for his murder.
Even with free speech, the speaker IS culpable for what they say, the results of their rants and rhetoric. There is a reason you can't yell FIRE! in a crowded auditorium. People will get hurt in the stampede.
Hate speak is the standard of much of talk radio these days. Feeding their listeners a steady diet of bile, shock, and uneducated drivel.
Case in point: The talking heads called Rob, Arnie, & Dawn in the Morning on Sacramento's KRXQ 98.5 FM.
Their show on May 28th centered around transgendered people - those who feel they have been born into the wrong gender. A recent story that made the national news was their springboard into a hatefilled pool of venom.
The story was about a child in Omaha who was born a boy, but has, for as long as he could express himself, showed every outward and inward sign that he is a she. I read the story and was not disgusted by the parents ultimate decision to help their young child veer off the almost certain road of self loathing onto which he was heading by allowing him to change his name, grow his hair, begin wearing girl clothing, etc.
I actually teared up reading their account. They are brave, loving, accepting. Everything a parent SHOULD be. The father didn't turn on his young son and revile him, debase him, call him names.
Which is what the braintrust at KRXQ 98.5 FM advocates.
Rob Williams and Arnie States equally bashed the child, all transgendered children and adults - their parenting technique? Call them "idiots", "freaks". And States proudly exclaimed he would beat with a shoe any child of his who was like this. "Because you know what? Boys don't wear high heel shoes. And in my house, they definitely don't wear high heels."
He continued,
"I'm going to go, 'You know what? You're a little idiot! You little dumbass!'"
And later in the broadcast, obviously warming to their theme of abusing children, "I look forward to when [the transgender children] go out into society and society beats them down. And they wind up in therapy."
Their diatribe continued, "I have every right to call you a freak and judge you on that. It makes me sick. 'Mommy, I'm a girl trapped in a boy's body, I want to wear a dwess."
When their female cohost expressed concern about what they were saying, they beat her down too, "You're actually defending allowing people to become freaks? A boy who wants to wear a dress is a freak. A nut."
No, assholes, he's a CHILD.
The cherry on this shitty parfait of hatespeak was this, "If the kid ever gets to be eighteen and says 'I still feel like a woman!' you say, 'Get out! Go be a freak! And understand, SON, that society will never accept you because we still have some moral judgment."
God help any child that ever springs from their f*cked up loins.
When I read the article on this I was simply speechless. Advocating abuse of children?!? But that's exactly what they were doing. Feeding the empty lemming minds of those who think they're cool with thoughts that it's OK to hurt children if they're different, because different is bad.
I'll tell you what's BAD. Allowing pieces of excrement like these to remain in front of a microphone even one more day. Don Imus used the term "nappy headed ho" on his talk radio show and was fired. These anal fissures are advocating violence against the youngest in our society.
Yet they still broadcast.
Of course, as the heat has been turned up on their ignorant asses they have begun to whine that they were "misunderstood", that their words were "a joke". Even the station manager is defending them, "The show is filled with hyperbole and they use exaggerations to make a point," Jim Fox said.
No, the show is filled with assholes spewing hate and inciting violence.
As a parent, I can tell you, I love my children. That is unconditional. It is not based on some point system where they get more for being blond, smart, heterosexual, or comfortable with their gender identity. I LOVE THEM.
A stand must be taken. No one is going to reprimand O'Reilly. As long as the $$ keep rolling into FOX, his job is safe. But we can stand up and protect our children - ALL CHILDREN - from the animals hiding behind the mikes at KRXQ in Sacramento.
File your complaint today and get these people off the air. Freedom of speech ends where the advocacy of violence against a child begins. It's NOT a joke. Not even close.
