And Talk Radio Hits Bottom ...

[Article 15]

On his Cincinnati-based radio show, Bill Cunningham asked a fictional Jewish character voiced by a fellow WLW-AM host: "Did you hear about this Khalidi tape where Obama is toasting a guy who wants to gas and fry Jews? ... This Obama guy loves the PLO. Can't you figure that out?" Cunningham later added, "Jews for [Sen. John] McCain because Obama wants to gas the Jews, like the PLO wants to gas the Jews, like the Nazis gassed the Jews."

Media Matters - Cunningham alleged that "Obama wants to gas the Jews"

I don't understand how that justifies what Cunningham said ...

 

[DiveCon]

i have a feeling there was a lot more to this than the few minutes they posted
like there always is with (only conservative)mediamatters

 

[DiveCon]

I don't understand how that justifies what Cunningham said ...

because you dont have what was directly in front of it nor what came after

 

[Article 15]

because you dont have what was directly in front of it nor what came after

I have a hard time giving Bill Cunningham the benefit of the doubt.

 

[bk1983]

what would come before or after, that would make the statement acceptable?

 

[DiveCon]

I have a hard time giving Bill Cunningham the benefit of the doubt.

i havent ever heard his show before, but i have heard of him

This is the same guy that in a speech at McCain rally a few months ago repeatedly referred to Obama as Barack Hussein Obama in a clearly inflammatory tone.

McCain was pissed and had to repudiate his remarks.

Do you remember that?

I do ...

Like I said it's hard to give this guy the bene of the doubt.

nope, like i said, i have heard of him, but this is the first i have heard him
i just dont trust mediamatters to give the full picture, they have been shown to be totally unreliable in that respect

Doesn't change the context in which he said it. This came off as his opinion. Not a sarcastic response.
