I have to tell you two what I heard on a local radio talk show this last week.
This talk show host is named Mark Davis...he used to just be local..but, not to long ago, he went national..and I think he does 1 hour local, then 2 hours national..on WABC, I think.
Anyway, I do NOT like him, never have..he is conservative..but he is the most condescending host I have ever heard, sarcasm and verbal sneering very prevelant..
So..I never listen to his show...but, I had left my radio on that station from Mark Levin, the night before.
He was having the last part of a call regarding taxes..and they must have been debating flat tax vs. sales tax only.
He was saying that he preferred flat...but, that as long as it changed, he would settle for either...but, THEN, he said,
"Yes, I won't go ballistic if either one is chosen, although there are groups out there that would start a war if they don't get their way..like FREE REPUBLIC. com, and the IDAHO COMPOUND PEOPLE."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing...I changed the channel...but it has been bugging me ever since.
Comments??? What do you think he meant?
Before Mark Davis was local to the DFW metroplex he was local to Memphis. Believe me, I miss him terribly compared to what replaced him. When he's right, he's very right. But he can also be wrong and there is generally no moving him off of a wrong position, at least not on the air. However, I have found him to be open to quiet, background, persuasion.
Send him an email and explain to him that Freepers aren't slavering NAZIs, as he seems to think. Invite him to join in on the Sunday Talk Show Thread. If you approach him discreetly I bet he'll respond in kind and check us out.
I actually got him to change his mind on two local issues in Memphis before he went "up market" with that approach. As I say, I miss him terribly, at least by comparison...
