Right wing radio is getting further and further from the truth.
I listened to some guy named McConnell, this afternoon. He was taking off on environmental issues. He was telling his listeners that the greenies want you to buy smaller cars -- NOT to save on gas and emissions -- because they want people to be killed in them. Smaller cars, more chances for accidents and death. The greenies hate people.

He then went on to yell about the educational system that goes in and scares the beejeebers out of children by showing them videos of what will happen if the ice melts -- the water will go up some building in NYC...not sure which building he said or location...a third or so of the way. He was saying that they are scaring kids by giving them the impression that the atmosphere will be such that no one will want to live here, anyway. All this because greenies hate people. He kept repeating on each comment made that greenies hate people. They want to control the population...kill us off.

I just heard bits and pieces, but enough to get the jist of what he was saying and what his listeners were saying. That, in itself, was scary.

I also heard someone say a couple days ago that there are 400 Right Wing radio stations? Can that be true? Did they mean 400 RW programs? Good grief, no wonder so many are screwed up in their thinking.

I've heard this McConnell before and he is as bad as Beck when it comes to off-the-wall ideas.

Anyone familiar with this creep?

4. I had a friend state
It is ironic that the Obama Admin wants to save the Automobile industry yet wanted to cut emissions. Other than sending him the definition of irony I could not comprehend his logic.
