RW dumbass radio host on WGN-AM this morning called the border crisis "Obama's Katrina" because...

...Obama hasn't gone there for photo-op.
By that logic he must think Bush's Katrina was Bush's Katrina not because he gutted FEMA and appointed an inept crony to run what was left of it, not because half the National Guard was off fighting his personal war in Iraq, not because virtually nothing was done to help evacuate before the hurricane and that help after the NOLA flooding was a day late and a dollar short, not because people DIED due to his administrations combination of thievery and convenient ineptitude-- it was because Bush only did a flyover instead of immediately rushing to the scene with his 911 bullhorn.

All these people either voluntarily gave up or were caught, and are being sent back. Of course they've forgotten that these are real families and unaccompanied kids, but I guess they don't matter because they are brown. Heartless fucks.

It was back to back Limbaugh, Hannity, Mark Levin etc for many many years. I'm guesssing its still the same. A 24/7 hate fest

We have nothing but bad music and right wing talkers out here. Online is my only refuge.

I listen to Bill Press every morning streaming on WCPT radio.

Clear Channel took away our progressive radio station so it could put on Bloomberg business news and 'depression session' talkers.

But, who cares -- it is their loss -- the internet is changing radio; that is, I don't need Clear Channel anymore.
