Kill the president of Afghanistan & leave his body on the street, says ex-mayor of San Diego

[uhnope]

On March 11, 2013, ex-mayor of San Diego Roger Hedgecock said on his syndicated radio program that the US should kill the president of Afghanistan and leave his body "lifeless on the nearest dirty, rutted street of your rubble capitol."

Broadcasting from KFMB-AM, Hedgecock said he was angry after President Hamid Karzai's recent statements suggesting the US and the Taliban seem to be colluding to destabilize Afghanistan. Hedgecock, a right wing talk show host since he left office under felony corruption charges in the 1980s, charged Karzai with corruption and with being unappreciative of US troops' efforts. Hedgecock avoided draft in the Vietnam war due to acne problems.

1. Yeah, great idea.

I'm sure that will just solve everything.
Fucking moron.

2. How fucking stupid. Karzai is just spouting off for his political survival. We have troops

in harm's way, we're leaving anyway, and the last thing we need is some sort of instability or overthrow of the government there while we're pulling out.

3. poisonous, bilious propaganda, 24/7. thanks, FCC!

Karzai is a cockroach, he says what he needs to to survive and stay in power. period.

anyone too stupid to understand that, and willing to take offense at anything he says, is too stupid to have a radio show.

4. Why does anyone listen to this douchebag chickenhawk? nt

[uhnope]

5. good question, but an estimated million do.

I think, if you take about ten stations playing the syndication, much of it can be explained by random listeners driving home and listening to the radio. That's the intention behind the wingnut welfare (the corporate/right wing sponsorship) behind the hate talk, I think--to influence what is considered "normal" by keeping our public debate flooded with verifiable insanity and extremist hate. Same goes for the conspiracy shows.

6. How did I know he was a Republican after only reading the title?

7. Why is this guy not being killed via drone?

He seems to fit the criteria for us to do it in other countries.
