Palin, Wahhabism and Hate Talk radio - how are they different?

[Cell Whitman]

Watching Moyers outstanding show on hate talk radio - see "Rage on the Radio"

You know, Americans rightfully complain about the Saudis supporting Wahhabi conservative Muslim schools that teach hate. We see how in the future this hate conditioning will be a blight to the world. What about our corporations supporting hate talk radio which is just as bad, if not worse, for they reach tens of millions every day and condition their listeners also?

What's the difference? They both deceive, they both use a facade of religion and nationalism as the underpinnings to their deceptions - they both distort religion to manipulate people and to support their political aims.

You know, Rush speaks to his listeners 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, for the last 20 years - Koresh didn't condition his followers that much! Now add to that all the Rush wannabees trying to outdo each other....

If you missed it, Palin was on hate radio last January in Alaska. Now here's your Palin framing issue. Palin is a crude, childish person who supports hate talk as this plainly shows.

She displays as the editorial below says - "conduct unbecoming a human being, never mind a governor."

Her excuse, SHE WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD!!!

The governor's appearance on KWHL's "The Bob and Mark Show" last week is plain and simple one of the most unprofessional, childish and inexcusable performances I've ever seen from a politician.

Anchorage DJ Bob Lester unleashed a vicious, mean-spirited, poisonous attack on Senate President Lyda Green last week while our governor was live on the air with him. <...>

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner editorial writers demanded the governor apologize. The Juneau and Ketchikan papers also ran the editorial.

The Daily News opinion page addressed the governor's gaffe. They wrote "She came off looking immature herself, almost high-schoolish. It was conduct unbecoming a governor."

It was conduct unbecoming a human being, never mind a governor.

The governor's office eventually tried to spin the public relations disaster, releasing a statement reading, "Governor Palin was caught off guard by Bob Lester's reference to Senate President Lyda Green."

I don't buy it. <...>

But there's strong evidence Palin did condone Lester's name-calling. At the end of Lester making fun of Green as a mother, calling her a cancer, twice, and saying she has to go; after calling the senator a b----, making fun of her weight, and accusing Green of being jealous and hateful; after all of that, Lester ends the conversation offering to visit Palin.

How does Palin respond? "I'd be honored to have you." <...>

The Youtube audio has been scrubbed but above the vid player at Huff Post there is a mp3 audio download link - about a 12 minute clip - the disgusting crap flows big-time about 7:00 mark.

You can hear her giggling like a school girl as they call the Alaskan Senate President a cancer, a bitch, and talk about Palin's people, "the true Alaskans" etc... just disgusting but so typical of today's right.

1. Differences?

Only difference I can tell is that the names are spelled differently.

Otherwise they are the same radical rightwing extremist policies.

10. Have you ever read Free Republic?

I don't think you know what you're talking about.

DU is on the side of facts, science, secularism and human rights.

4. Hate Radio & 'McPalin'

Republicans thrive on that crap. I wonder why anyone is surprised after listening to that gawd awful sermon at the convention?

The only thing that crazy woman is qualified for is to be a female 'Lush" Limbaugh.

5. Did you get a chance to watch Moyers?

I hope it shook some people up when Rory O'Connor said they controlled the outcome of the immigration debate. Some people think they are clowns. I know most never thought anyone would follow Rush 20 years ago, but they damn well did.

Limbaugh will prolly be her next interviewer.

She is an open sinner. The cult of conservatism really does not mind that their leaders lie, just like cults. But the media never discusses this. She is an open sinner given the lies she tells.

6. In Rwanda in 1994, talk radio was a big part of leading to the conditions that created a genocide

From the transcript to Bill Moyers' Journal:

REVEREND CHRIS BUICE: If you look at the history of like situations like in Rwanda in 1994, the talk radio was a big part of leading to the conditions that created a genocide. The Hutu radio disc jockeys would call the Tutsi cockroaches. There's the sense that these aren't human beings. You know, they're not human beings with children or grandchildren. These are cockroaches. And when you hear in talk radio that liberals are evil, that they are traitors, that they are godless, that they are on the side of the terrorist. That's hate language. You don't negotiate with evil people. You don't live in community with people you consider to be traitors.

That show gave me a chill.

During WW2, a lot of American propaganda was to dehumanize the "very different looking" Japanese by stereotyping them and attaching negative attributes to their appearance. Emporer Hirohito was drawn with exaggerated buck teeth. The Japanese were called "the Yellow Peril".

Listen to what they are calling the Mexicans.

7. Long ago, there was a book written on this subject.

It was called Gulliver's Travels.

It all depends on which end of the egg you prefer to open.
