I just talked to a DJ from a country station here in the Florida Keys.

[tavernier]

He said that he would like to punch out Dr. Fauci for all the lies he has told.

I wished him well, hoped he wouldn’t get ill.

These people are brainwashed and dangerous because they have a microphone and pass on the lies.

Please anyone visiting here, turn off that station!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. That is really awful! I wish we had some way of stopping them. n/t

[Initech]

24. We could try changing the channel!

[FakeNoose]

2. My answer would be, "And how many medical degrees do YOU have?"

[YorkRd]

3. But Trumps lies are OK

[area51]

6. +1

And welcome to DU.

[Rhiannon12866]

30. +2!

[CrackityJones75]

[tavernier]

Not 103.

[CentralMass]

5. Republicans are collectively a bag of assholes.

[lagomorph777]

22. crooks and kooks

[blm]

7. Why waste energy? Only 2 words needed: Prove it.

[bahboo]

9. yep...

[blm]

21. None of these RW nuts can prove their claims.

They sure as hell can’t do it in court.

[NullTuples]

8. Trump & the GOP promise them permission to do as they please.

Just like he (and the GOP, see:Mitch McConnell) does.
Democrats and scientists, well...they promise the opposite.
Therefore, they are the enemy, and cannot be trusted.

[Evolve Dammit]

10. The propoganda has worked amazingly well. "I love the uneducated." Beam me up. nt

[bringthePaine]

11. let's not forget the listener must be similarly understaffed in the cranium...

[maxsolomon]

13. The effectiveness of propaganda is in the repetition.

putting the same message into the ears of the gullible over and over and over.

[maxsolomon]

12. You mean you called in?

Or you ran in to him in a bar?

I don't understand the context.

[tavernier]

15. No, he was doing Bingo at the Elks

We were talking on his break outdoors. He is a DJ at Sun country.

[maxsolomon]

32. They've been so focused on Fauci's "Lies"

Those lies were recommendations that shifted in response to new evidence.

You know, science.

Conservatives are emotional children.

[essaynnc]

14. Houston we have a problem....

we can't ignore the crap that goes out 24/7 from rw talk radio. just tonight I heard that BLM doesn't respect anyone that flies an American flag, cause they're obviously racist...... Sure we know its crap, but 25% of the country swallow that shit without even thinking about it ! its no wonder there's such animosity in this country. Right before we this. they played part of the orange MF coach speech, and my gawd, I had no idea that we liberals were stealing all these elections!!

And half of NC eats this shit up! How can they just continue to lie????

I would like an answer to this question, with no hand wringing:
why aren't they held accountable??

[appalachiablue]

18. This menace cannot be tolerated

much longer.. Set up a Vaccine Ultimatum as I just posted. Take it or leave it.

[Warpy]

19. I used to be an RN, so I might not have let him off the hook so easily

but it most likely would have been a wasted effort on my part. These people don't just have closed minds, their minds are glued down and screwed shut. It certainly doesn't penetrate their thick skulls that the worst lie of all was that it was a hoax, fake news.

622,000+ people were dead of that hoax the last time I looked, which should infuriate anyone who watched that fat buffoon do nothing but screech about damage control for his precious image.

[tavernier]

20. I had extra bracelets that said "I'm vaccinated for Covid"

He is a DJ at Sun country (Country radio station locally) and was doing a Bingo show at our local Elks.

They were on break and I was sitting on patio outdoors.

I said that I’m not selling them but have extras. He replied that the vaccine is BS… etc.

We had a conversation that wasn’t altogether pleasant because I may have mentioned that I was a nurse and therefore hopeful that people would listen to science and facts. He did say that he didn’t mention politics on the air. He said that the government and Fauci were guilty of making us ill with these vaccines, and I may have said that he was ignorant. It didn’t end well.

[roamer65]

23. Reality is coming for these people.

It’s gonna bite down hard on them.

[tavernier]

25. I agree.

Not to mention something that few ppl talk about…
My daughter is a nurse practitioner in Indiana and the rate of still born babies from Covid infected moms has been distressingly high. Not yet proved to be connected , but scary. NOT with vaccinated moms, though.

[roamer65]

28. Infected with the virus during pregnancy or well after the infection has take place?

[Aristus]

26. I don't listen to country. No amount of money can induce me to.

Anyway, fuck that guy…

[tavernier]

27. You and me both.

I find the sound of dentist drills much more relaxing.

[raccoon]

29. I hope he does get covid. Nt

[alphafemale]

31. DJ? I don't think many people at radio stations get to choose the music played anymore

Even local morning talk personalities are increasingly a thing of the past.
Which was something I liked because not only tings like traffic weather and local mews, but a great call in and chat about local issues.

I do think these people have a day/days of reckoning.

And I will not have one bit of empathy.

I do feel for the health care workers who will be pushed to the point of exhaustion again.

And I care about people who are immune compromised or can't take the vaccine for health reasons.
