Comments on: DM’s lone liberal radio host is ‘a stranger in a strange land’ http://iowaindependent.com/15387/dms-lone-liberal-radio-host-is-a-stranger-in-a-strange-land Iowa politics, news and commentary Mon, 12 Sep 2011 07:06:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Ralph Smith http://iowaindependent.com/15387/dms-lone-liberal-radio-host-is-a-stranger-in-a-strange-land/comment-page-1#comment-38946 Ralph Smith Fri, 01 Apr 2011 18:36:00 +0000 http://iowaindependent.com/?p=15387#comment-38946 Bradshaw is not a trained professional talk host--he's a board operator who they stuck in the job since he's cheap and they fired the previous host. The fact that CityView voters pick him as best talk host shows that: 1) CityView readers are liberal; and 2) CityView readers don't understand what makes good radio. Bradshaw's ratings are low but opinion of himself is high. I just listened for a half hour and found him not only repulsive but unintelligent. He's one of those snotty know-it-alls who really doesn't know much at all. To make him out to be anything more than a board operator is an insult to radio professionals.

Your comparison to Hitlers hatred for theJewish people and American animosity towards Muslims and Mexicans is just flat out idiotic. Hitler did use theJewish people to gain power, that is the only accurrate thing your guest stated on the show. Hitler also killed six million Jewish people in cold blood. Are we killing Mexicans are we engaging in genicide against Muslims? No to both those questions. However there are Millions of Mexican citizens flooding over our Southern boarder every year and asunpopular as reality is with the so-called Progressive left, America was attacked by Islam on 9/11. OMG! DidI say Islam? You bet i did, Anyway you and you PC bunch of lemmings want to spin it Islam has declared Jihad on America and has never! ever! bween apeaceful religion. Try studying some actual history other then reading your daily dose of the Communist Manifesto or watching Bill Marr and hanging with theHae America crowd. And try a little humility, despite what you and Bill Mar think your not the most intelligent person in the country. At any rate your implication that the Right is simply using the Mexican people and Muslims as a tool to rile the American people up, is ubsurd atbest . Americansdont arbitrarily despise the Mexican people, we are upset at the ones who are violating the laws of this nation, the same is true for those of the Muslim faith, Americans havent just picked these poor folks out at random because they are Muslim, it does happen to be people of the Muslim faith in most cases that want to kill us, in almost every case, with the exception of Timothy Mcvay And I only mention him because I know you are thinking it. And no just because he may not have been a Muslim that doesnt make him a Christian. Bottom line is thios Mr. Bradshaw, Americans are not nearly as stupid as you and that imbevcile Bill Marr like to make us out to be. The freedoms this country provides aloows you your bully pulpit to get on the air and trash it out every day. your proof that anybody can have a show Thank God for Hannity and Mr. Limbaugh.

Thankfully Darwin's discovery of evolution completely rules out the possibility that man came from some dirt that a god used to make an image of himself out of, and that woman came from a rib of this dirt-man.

Compare the amount of interlocking data from every applicable scientific field including geology, physics, and even molecular biology, all having observational experiments done, that test and prove the hypotheses of evolution occurring, with the DISCREDITED FAIRY TALE – a big invisible monster that nobody has ever seen or heard did it.

It is frightening that mass delusions of supernatural beings still exist today. It is the same thing as saying that my invisible fire breathing dragon is more powerful than your multi-headed fire spewing sea monster. So, come around to my way of thinking or I will commit atrocities for it.

Everything from the murderous blood stained Sky Daddy who drowned virtually all humanity and other life, sentenced everyone to leave Utopia after Eve (persuaded by a talking snake) ate a magical apple, had Jonah take a ride in the belly of a whale, ruined the life of Job, told Abraham to murder his own kid, killed all the first born of Egypt, had his chosen people commit genocide on the original inhabitants of Palestine, to letting his own son be nailed to some wood so mankind could party with a ghost – is a FAIRY TALE that humanity needs to reject if we are to see many more generations.

By the way if you are dumb enough to believe that this fable is real; in the Bible, the murder count is God/millions – Devil/zero. Whom would you rather spend time with, a vengeful monster or a “fallen” angel who thought he had a better way? I am NOT promoting the Devil, just illustrating the craziness in this stupidity.

Hopefully if you were previously deluded, after reading this you will see how foolish you have been. Society needs to accelerate its retreat from worshiping outlandishly absurd fictional psychopathic beings.

There is no middle ground.
