Stay classy, History Channel...

First Ted Nugent on the Discovery Channel, now this.

History announced the premiere of a new series, God, Guns & Automobiles, that will feature Erich "Mancow" Muller, a far-right radio host who has engaged in a plethora of conspiracy theories -- including the claim that President Obama was born outside the United States -- and has suggested that an armed revolution will occur in America.

God, Guns & Automobiles will document Mancow and his brother Mark Muller's operation of Max Motors, a car dealership located in rural Missouri that "embodies the values and the spirit of the heartland of America." The series is slated to premiere on History, formerly called The History Channel, on Monday, July 8 at 10 p.m. EST. Mark Muller, the founder of Max Motors, has frequently incorporated firearms into his car business. Since at least 2008, Max Motors has given away firearms -- often AK-47 assault weapons -- with the purchase of certain vehicles. A typical newspaper clipping appearing on the Max Motors website states that "The Nation's Outlaw Car Dealer Is Doing It Again!" and offers a "free AK-47" with the purchase of any truck.

The History channel had a nice little lineup going on Monday nights. It will be hard to enjoy American Pickers knowing this jackass's show is coming up.

as far as Mancow, maybe they should query him on his quickly revised viewpoint that waterboarding isn't torture.

... far right agenda non stop. The History Channel used to have on some decent shows but
now it dumb asses digging for gold and people cutting down trees as they are having inter-
personal problems. The gun and god culture is pushed on many basic cable channels and
I doubt that those shows are being pushed by random chance.

More and more they are putting woo shows like that "Ancient Astronauts" program on.

The crapola is migrating to the Military Channel also.
"Drug War" propaganda.
