Related: About this forum"Gas prices under Obama.." and other balonies on hate radio
I like to take in a few minutes of hate radio each day just to see what the latest bullshit is that is being spun by the hate merchants. This local blowhard jackass talk show host took in a call from this Obama supporter ( a miracle , I know , and then asked the guy , "are you better off than you were 4 years ago?", and to my delight, the caller confidently said, "yes, I am!". And then the host with that right wing whiny sound said, "How..erm em..how can...?", and the caller jumped right in and said, "because my company went under at the end of 2008 while Bush was still President, and in 2009 I was able to find a better paying job., So yes, I am better off than I was 4 years ago!". You know what the jack ass host said, and it is a perfect illustration of twisted logic hate radio hosts like Rush go by every day, ..he said, "and do you think you lost your job because of Bush..do you think Bush has anything to do.."..As I was cracking up listening to him twist himself, the caller replied, "may be not, but you are trying to say people are not better off now b/c of Obama..so if you can't blame Bush,then you can't blame Obama either." And then the host proceeded with a list of BS reasons why gas prices are high because of Obama...oh my how do people take these morons seriously and how do they get their own shows?

It's actually lower today than when Obama took office...

(1,356 posts)We used to have that & it kept the broadcast industry from destroying a vital industry (radio, I don't even listen to it anymore). It would be nice to get some of these rightie wing nuts under control with some folks taking the other side. Bring back what they used to call The Fairness Doctrine.
