Reply #118: Oh! Well, I moved away from Fargo several years ago....but I can tell you

[Beausoir]

that some of the folks at the Forum really despised him. But that's nothing new....pretty much EVERYONE despised him around town...for being such a blow-hard. You've heard the stories about him tearing out of the announcers's booth....looking to pick a fight with some college punks who threw a booze bottle at him. ( He has, recently, admitted to being ashamed of that particular act).



I just can't adequately explain what a HUGE betrayal it was for him to suddenly stop supporting his NDSU Bison and begin supporting the UND Sioux.
It sounds petty and stupid...but it really illustrates the story of this guy's philosophy. He goes for the buck. He saw a niche...for a "progressive" radio voice..and he went for it. Notice..he avoids the term LIBERAL like it was radioactive.

But The Fargo Forum had/has it's own share of blowhard repukes. It is hardly a bastion of democracy. And their web site is horrible. Like it's out of the 50's.
