Houston talkshow host calls New Orleans evacuees "Katrina Debris"

Leave it to Chris Baker, the lord of the ignorant, on KTRH (Keep The Rightwingers Here) to coin the phrase "Katrina Debris" referring to the human beings who fled New Orleans after the Katrina disaster.

Baker is about as classy as someone who devours a rotted burrito, passes gas in a crowded elevator then exits on the next floor. As with passing gas, he probably thinks referring to humans as "debris" is funny and cute. And it probably is funny to his simple minded audience who are probably pulling each others fingers while listening to the ignorance of KTRH.

Baker, a transplant from Oklahoma, is perfect for KTRH. They both stink.

1. What a fuckwad.

"Katrina debris". Wow. Way to go, you asswipe. :grr:

2. Christ, I used to listen to that skinhead when I lived there.

Absolute worst of the worst on KTRH, which is saying something considering the rightwing gasbags that comprise the rest of their schedule. If I remember correctly, he loved harping on us liberal "utopians," as if he was the arbiter of reason and rational government. Grade-A douchebag.

3. Yeah, we folk in Austin really loved it when all the folk from Houston

rolled into our town in their big-ass gas-gulping SUVs and RVs just before Rita, and cleaned all the supplies off our store shelves. The difference between "Katrina Debris" and "Rita Debris" is that Rita missed, and jerks like Baker got to go home.

Not that we Austinites minded helping out Houstonians, just as we helped out New Orleaneans, since we were so much luckier than either. I just hate to see spoiled nutjobs thinking they are superior just because the whims of nature and corrupt presidents made their lives easier.

8. Rita missed? That's news to me

Oh, you meant it missed Houston, because of course only the big cities get coverage of storm damage. Gotcha.

The situation here isn't as bad as that in New Orleans by any means, but there are still thousands of people here who are fighting their insurance companies and FEMA just to try to get their homes and businesses repaired. But I guess if Katrina fell off the national radar, I shouldn't expect the plight of poor people in SE Texas and SW Louisiana to still make the news either.

9. Since the thread was obviously about Houston, yes, it missed.

ANd since obviously nothing in my post implied or stated that FEMA was doing a good job in Rita-struck areas, I really don't get the attitude.

4. He used to be in KC

and was not quite as bad as he has now become. Man, he really has gone over the edge.

5. Houston radio would be nothing without Pacifica.

I only listen to our local Pacifica station, KPFT-FM, and XM.

6. KPFT?

Everytime I tune in they are playing real crappy music, or talking Vegan.

It is clearly a very lefty station. Even too lefty for me. (Except the news and Amy Goodman)

I have suggested that they provide a forum for discussion focusing on facts, which no station in Houston does.

Houston is ripe with right wing radio. In fact there is nothing else.

XM is the way to go.

7. The best example of the have a littles being pitted against

the have nots. Many in Houston are experiencing hard times, and unfortunately, the Katrina evacuees are easy scapegoats for the Nazi-like mentality of people like Baker. Very sad all the way around.
