MN Radio host tells Sandy Hook parents to "go to hell" for infringing on his Second Amendment rights

Here's what he said:
Bob Davis, a radio host on Twin Cities News Talk in Minneapolis, a Clear Channel station, said that he'd like to tell the parents of Sandy Hook victims to "go to hell" for infringing on his Second Amendment rights. He also said, "I'm sorry that you suffered a tragedy, but you know what? Deal with it, and don't force me to lose my liberty, which is a greater tragedy than your loss."

Move on ahas started a petition to send to his boss Bob Pittman, CEO, Clear Channel demanding he be taken off the air for his offensive comments. They need 25,000 signatures which they are very near having. Here's what the petition says:

Subject: Take Bob Davis off the air

Hi,

I signed a petition to Bob Pittman, CEO, Clear Channel which says:

"Bob Davis, a radio host on Twin Cities News Talk AM 1130 in Minneapolis, said that he'd like to tell the parents of Sandy Hook victims to "go to hell" for infringing on his Second Amendment rights. Take Bob Davis off the air; he is a stain upon your station's reputation. Victims deserve respect and compassion, not vitriol and hate."

May 2013

The Davis & Emmer Show has hundreds of shows documented online in hourly increments.

THE LIGHT RAIL & ARTISTS

SW Corridor would create “a dystopia of crime, squalor, and disease.”
DAVIS, Blogged 10/21 “….proponents of light-rail for the SW Corridor are "building a dystopia of crime, squalor, and disease." (because the suburbs need to be separated from the inner city rabble??) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151267135315465&set=vb.134256654140&type=3&theater

Central Corridor will create “a dystopia of crime, squalor, and disease.”
DAVIS & EMMER 10/31(7amHour) Beginning about 20:20 http://www.twincitiesnewstalk.com/player/?station=KTCN-AM&program_name=podcast&program_id=davisandemmer.xml&mid=22584902

“Just like Cuba or the Soviet Union”……”Over a billion dollars spent to kill businesses along the route so that they can spread crime, disease, and squalor and delay traffic and create problems for the next 100years” along that stupid waste of money and time known as the light rail project.”

tip of iceberg – they hate 'da trains
DAVIS & EMMER 10/31(7amHour) Complaining about the “artists celebration” (see below)

Beginning about 20:20 http://www.twincitiesnewstalk.com/player/?station=KTCN-AM&program_name=podcast&program_id=davisandemmer.xml&mid=22584902

“I have a message you artists: You are slaves. You are not artists. You are slaves to the public trough. If you were really artists you would not be taking their money. You are worthless propagandists. You are painting propaganda pictures for the fascists. That’s what you are doing. “

7. Davis (& Emmer) Hateful, Paranoid Rant About EDUCATORS &UNIONS -- **AUDIO LINKS**

This is a long record of the crazy and the mean that their listeners apparently enjoy.

17:48, Story (their version)
19:23 DAVIS, “They are too busy teaching diversity and the differences between people rather than the basics about American history. That’s the problem. And, you can’t teach American history anymore in a government school because everyone thinks their rights are being violated because all they teach in school anymore is civil rights. .. “That’s all they want to teach, environment and civil rights.” …”it’s just like the journalists teaching their truth. That’s what these teachers are doing. The whole curriculum, and their whole approach is to teach their truth which is civil rights and environmentalism. And, this is why I say we need to vouch-out, tax-credit-out, and basically shut down the government schools. Because it is a disaster. And, they are prisons

21:50 DAVIS, “Here’s how you fix it. Number 1: we need right-to-work laws in this state. We need to get rid of the teacher’s unions. Conservative groups who have money need to spend money to go to these school boards and to teach these school boards how to take strikes and how to get rid of unions in the schools. The unions are running the schools. You’re not running them. You’re paying to have them run, but the unions are running the schools.”

23:50 DAVIS (on hs graduates), “ They have to spend money to go to some kind of trade school, so they learn some kind of skill, and they still can’t spell, and they have no context, they don’t know any history, and so they have to begin this lifetime process of educating themselves.” EMMER, “ Bob, they’re passive, they’re obedient, they are docile, ah, they are ready to be under the thumb of the government that they serve.”

25:14 DAVIS, “And again, you don’t have any control of the curriculum in these schools. The union controls the curriculum. Your’ve got union employees watching union employees. They’ve go to go. You’ve got to put these schools out of business before it’s ever going to get fixed. “…………CALLER, “..propaganda gulags.”………Davis, “….your kid’s mind will be stolen.”

EMMER, “Here’s the interesting thing is we have completely changed this over the last couple of hundred years so that now you know what the people are? Domestic livestock.” DAVIS, “You are born a slave in America, and the school system proves it.” …….”

13. This radio station & it's "personalities" are an affliction on the good people of MN
Fri May 3, 2013, 12:48 AM
May 2013

And, some of the right wing garbage they dump onto our airwaves makes us physically ill.
It is all made possible by a staunch conservative minority of extremists and uber-wealthy partisans.

It is 7-days a week of extremism, and Davis in not even the worst local "personality." (Sue Jeffers)
Add nationals like Rush, Hannity, Beck, and Alex Jones.

Sad that there is so little push back against this insanity. Minnesota needs an effort like the "StopRush" campaign.
MN needs a "StopTwinCitiesNewsTalkRadio" or "StopKTCN".

8. And there it is...typical dumbass selfish gun nut who feels
Thu May 2, 2013, 04:22 PM

his liberty to buy SA assault rifles and hi-cap mags being a bit inconvenienced is tragic.

And a worse tragedy then a bunch of people losing their 6yr old children to a fucking prick wielding an SA assault rifle and hi-cap mags.

I'm sorry that you suffered a tragedy, but you know what? Deal with it, and don't force me to lose my liberty, which is a greater tragedy than your loss."


Pure selfishness. Hey Dickhead - ya know what? You WILL get over it...these parents won't, and certainly their kids will not - ever. THEY are not the ones forcing things, selfish asses like you are.

http://www.twincitiesnewstalk.com/player/?station=KTCN-AM&program_name=podcast&program_id=davisandemmer.xml&mid=23042776

“They will renew their calls for tyranny, they’re now becoming hysterical. Ah, I read stuff this weekend of these people saying ‘this is what has to happen’, …..’we have to have a dictatorship to have these things happen’”
…..”The calls for this kind of tyranny and dictatorship to solve a problem that doesn’t exist will become greater and greater.”

BONUS same link @ 20:10 .......socialists are tying suburbs (1960’s time capsules) into the inner city.....walkable...bike-friendly......subtle annexation......Edina becoming Mpls-south.
Ties into assertion that light rail brings “dystopia of crime, squalor, and disease” to the suburbs (? by allowing inner city rabble to visit?).
