Can't tell whether radio wingnut's Reply is sarcastic

First, his reply. My e-mail below that. Considering that I threw a SCALIA slur at him...

Have only been listening to the weekend show for a couple of months and I knew Pags is a wingnut, but thought he wasn’t QUITE so wacky as the rest of the wingnuts, plus that (his sidekick) Jayson CAMPADONIA gave at least token opposition, making it fun.

But Jay’s leaving means Pags is SO OVER for me. Besides that Pags is affiliated with BecKKK, today (10-5) he spouted nothing but the usual wingnut propaganda about the Wingnut-shutdown, with the seasoning of pandering to the tourists to the national monuments and the veterans’ BAITING that wingnut politicians do so shamelessly.

No, the Tea Party of today is NOT the same in honor as the historical, real Tea Party. Does stealing a name out of history mean that Rush LIMBOsevic’s “Two If by Tea” is a patriotic enterprise, instead of being another business for his latest wife?!

As for the phony “issue” of the national monuments, what part of “knickknacks” is an ESSENTIAL – you know, compared to national security and social welfare?

As for who caused the shutdown, it’s a pitiful Rethug gambit of attaching an irrelevant tangent (defunding the Affordable Care Act) to a budget. Only the sheep (followers) of wingnut yakkers can’t see past the other gambits of fronting piecemeal items in the budget, all EXCEPT the ACA.

Pags is no better than the other wingnut yakkers whose tongue is hotwired to bypass the brain, but in his case it might be his SCALIA heritage.

Hard to say, it's sort of a multi-purpose vague reply. NYC_SKP Oct 2013 #1
Yip. On the air he's rough on callers, calling them dumb/unprepared or get-off-my-phone UTUSN Oct 2013 #2

It could be read as a dig or as a compliment.

Maybe that's intentional.

And he features callers barely, or his sidekick for that matter, barely, like he likes the sound of his own voice more than anybody else's.
