Right wing blowhard Roe Conn ridicules Henrietta Hughes

We knew it wouldn't take long for right wingers to ridicule Henrietta Hughes, the woman who tearfully recounted living in her car due to homelessness to President Barack Obama in Fort Myers, Florida today.

Roe Conn took her to task and mocked her for wanting a kitchen, as if she was trying to get her house remodeled. Anyone with brain and/or heart, Conn has neither, understands that Ms. Hughes was talking about the stress of living in her car and how she needs help. Her reference to the kitchen was about needing the basics to live and regaining her dignity.

When a caller tried to explain what Hughes was saying and talked about the plight of the homeless that she witnesses in her Chicago suburb she was mocked as well.

[Ilsa]

1. If she asked for her own campfire to cook some freshly killed rabbits, Conn would complain.

Roe is as relevant as a fish egg.

Hateful people. She isn't looking for a handout. She's looking for a means to live, and with a little dignity.

[BeyondGeography]

2. Take a simple human sentiment like someone who wants to cook for her family

and turn it into something selfish and sinister so miserable people can snicker and sneer.

That's a crap way to make a living.

[K Gardner]

3. Republicans are loathesome, hateful people.. all of them. Disgusting.

[NaturalHigh]

6. Actually, I know lots of Republicans, and none of them would behave like this asshole.

This guy (of whom I was happily ignorant before reading this) is the worst of the worst.

[AspenRose]

4. Oh but they have plenty of sympathy for someone like "B Girl"

Remember her? Freeper-types falling all over themselves trying to express sympathy and prayers for a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR.

[bluestateguy]

20. Hey, whatever happened to her?

I suppose no jail time, and a few weeks in "therapy"?

[AspenRose]

33. Pretty much...

:eyes:

[NaturalHigh]

5. What an absolute asshole.

A man in a silk suit hurries by
as he catches a poor old lady's eye
just for fun he says "get a job"

Anyone who ridicules the homeless is a heartless POS, and he certainly hasn't learned much from the teachings of Jesus.

[11 Bravo]

7. Fishegg Criminal is a fucking idiot.

[wndycty]

10. Fish egg?

Do tell.

[11 Bravo]

11. Roe. I thought it was fairly straightforward.

[wndycty]

13. Oh my bad

:kick:

[Dappleganger]

8. Rot in hell, Connman.

[Cha]

9. What a fucking asshole..

who makes his money by lying and acting brain dead.

[Peregrine Took]

12. He is a nasty dude and a "Rush" wannabe in the worst way. I hate WLS.

[MiniMe]

14. Heard a bit of Mark Levin tonight. He was equally vile towards her

Thought they had a right to question these people since they asked questions in a public venue.

[wndycty]

21. But Joe the Plumber is off limits?

Really? F' them.

[spanone]

15. cold cold hearts

[Born_A_Truman]

16. Must really frost him that it was a Republican that helped her today

Those that mock the homeless ought to walk in their shoes.

[scrappydo]

17. I posted a response to Conn.....

....not that it will make any difference - people like Conn who have a box of rocks for brains and are absent of hearts could not recognize love and sympathy if it hit them in the face!!!!

[Colobo]

18. A local right wing hack was saying the same thing today.

I'm in Tampa. The name of the guy is Snichtt.

[NoPasaran]

19. What's the matter, no puppies in easy kicking distance?

[Bobbie Jo]

22. WTF is a Roe Conn?

I already know I don't want any.

[tcfrogs]

23. Rather prominent Chicago radio talk show host

He's never struck me as a right-wing nutjob in the realm of Hannity/Limbaugh, because his show is mostly apolitical.

[snowbear]

24. Do you guys have progressive radio there?

.
.

I would assume Chicago would if we have it 24 hours a day in Anchorage, Alaska..


Geez, I hope so!!

25. But when he talks politics he is an extreme right winger

:kick:

[tcfrogs]

26. I honestly haven't listened much since Garry Meier left

As a combo, they seemed to make fun of both sides equally on the rare occasion they talked "straight-up" politics.

[tritsofme]

27. Is Roe Conn really "right wing"?

Most of what I've heard of his show wasn't political.

I just don't want people in this thread thinking he has a show like Hannity or Limbaugh or that they only talk politics.

I don't doubt he is an asshole though.

[wndycty]

28. Listen to him when he talks politics. . .he sure is

. . .:kick:

[WinkyDink]

29. RW'ers have niether heart nor the ability to recognize dignity under pressure.

[Tsiyu]

30. Never heard of the slimeball

Now there's a piece of work, there. Has nothing else to talk about so he trashes the homeless?

For ratings?

Tell me again why I should believe Republics are actual human beings. I just fail to see any humanity in this thing.

[wndycty]

31. One his claims to fame is that his internet audio streaming numbers are pretty high

:kick:

32. if only she were looking in the belly of the plane

for the 400,000 in clothes and hair and makeup that it was OK to spend on Palin in two months...that would have been un-mockable!

But she dared to hope for a kitchen in which to prepare FOOD.

Shame, shame, shame.

She could be in a really nice house for half the cost of Palin's clothes for two months.

[AspenRose]

34. Thank you!
