Radio host: ‘Pistol whip’ the nuns who are protesting Paul Ryan

[sufrommich]

A conservative radio host says that the Catholic nuns who have embarked on a nine-state bus tour to protest the injustice of Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) proposed budget deserve to be beaten with a handgun because they “threw the first punch.”

“There’s a bus full of nuns headed towards Washington to lobby against the Ryan plan,” radio host Jan Mickelson told Rep. Tom Latham (R-IA) last week. “Do you guys, do you have any power to pull the nuns on the bus over and pistol whip them?”

“They say he is evil, they say he is fake Catholic,” he added. “They’re the ones that threw the first punch.”

I love these brave Nuns. If anything happens to these beautiful women,it will be because guys like this think the answer to nuns defying the Pope is to pistol whip them.Shades of Handmaids Tale.

1. This type of speech should not be tolerated

Period, we all should be on agreement with this, right?

[sufrommich]

3. Absolutely. It's pandering to

thugs who dream of taking matters into their own hands via violence like he suggests.

[dmr]

2. Pistol whip nuns?

What kind of person would ask such a thing? And, it's not just pistol whipping nuns, it's pistol whipping anyone!

He makes me sick.

Was Rep. Tom Latham in the studio or on the phone at the time? What'd he say? If he didn't admonish this asshole, then they both should lose their jobs.

[sufrommich]

6. He ignored the comment.No doubt his handlers

will be walking it back shortly ,soon we'll be hearing that he either didn't hear it or misunderstood it.

8. they never address. pretend it wasnt said. and these are the "family value" dudes. nt

[seabeyond]

4. recommended for these brave Nuns. what a pig/pigglette? jan. man or woman? nt

[Ilsa]

5. That radio nutjob can't tell

the difference between protesting and "throwing a punch"? What a horrible bully.

Where is Jan Mickelson? How can we protest this ignorant talking head?

[sufrommich]

7. I was just looking for some organized call

for action. I'll let you know if I find anything.

[sufrommich]

9. In the meantime , please make

sure you share this article on your Facebook,Twitter,etc.

10. So over the top, yet so expected. nt

[seabeyond]

11. i am still surprised each and every time. i was raised

around men that are ALL repugs. not a one would ever even think to make a comment like this, let alone excuse it.

[ZombieHorde]

12. Seems to me that Republican + radio show = violent, hateful madness.

I have Republican family members that would be appalled by the suggestion of pistol whipping nuns, but they don't have radio shows.

[seabeyond]

13. ya. i am sure there is also the repug that is not on the radio

i just do not know him. i hear ya.

[sufrommich]

14. I put this in General Discussion too. nt

[seabeyond]

15. good. everyone is rootin' for the nuns, lol. nt

[mindwalker_i]

16. Why don't we duct-tape these fuckhead's mouths shut

Give them a few shots of riddlin (pardon my speelimg), a couple of joints and send them on their way? This shit shouldn't be on the airwaves where kids will hear it.

And make him say vagina!

[felix_numinous]

17. This is very brave for the nuns to be going against

the status quo. This idiot needs to be taken off the air pronto.

[BlueIris]

18. Pistol whipping a nun. Great idea!

Do these brave radio warriors ever hear themselves?
