I first heard about
The Political Cesspool on Media Matters because
. But I didn't know that Wikipedia has an in-depth, featured level article about the Cesspool! Regarding Corsi:
Author Jerome Corsi was interviewed in July 2008. During the discussion he spoke about his financial newsletter, and promoted his book The Obama Nation, which includes several statements that have been widely described as racist; for example, he opined that US President Barack Obama identifies more with his "African blood" than his American roots<25> and that the President "rejects everyone white, including his mother and his grandparents".<26> Corsi scheduled another promotional appearance on The Political Cesspool, but one month later he canceled this appearance, citing "travel plans that changed". Edwards said that he believed the incident "just goes to show what incredible pressure everyone in public life is under to never have anything to do with anyone who speaks up for the interests of white people." <27><28><29> Fellow authors John Derbyshire<30> and Steve Sailer<23> have also been guests. In July 2011, WorldNetDaily columnist Ilana Mercer appeared on the show. <31>
Constitution Party nominee Michael Peroutka used his appearance in 2004 to promote his presidential campaign. Party member Michael Goza described the show as "Christian/Constitutionalist", and "a great blessing to our cause".<32> Thomas Naylor, of the Vermont secessionist organization Second Vermont Republic, appeared on the show to celebrate Confederate History Month in April 2007,<33> while American Third Position Party Chairman Bill Johnson appeared to promote his party.<13>
On May 8, 2006, Minuteman Project leader Jim Gilchrist spoke on the program. Co-host Bill Rolen agreed with Gilchrist's view that illegal immigrants' intentions are to "just squat here and plunder whatever social benefits our programs provide them". However, Rolen disagreed with Gilchrist's claim that illegal immigration was "the 21st century slave trade".<34> Gilchrist's colleague in the Minuteman movement, Chris Simcox, has also been a guest of the show.<35>
If you live in the Provo area (and maybe in Salt Lake City, Utah) then you can hear Political Cesspool during primetime on right wing station KHQN...yep, this is the same station carrying local high school sports. Another Utah station, a Christian-formatted one, KYAH, also broadcasts the show.
