Why are rethugs scared on Black radio?
Edited on Tue Oct-26-10 02:07 PM by angee_is_mad
They make promise to appear then don't show up. Heard Kirk was a no show on WVON yesterday. Wonder if Brady will be a no show today?

President Obama is getting radio to go live on Al Sharpton any moment now. You can listen on line here:

4. Because it'd be seen as being conciliatory and civil to their base (read: WEAK)

And their base isn't conciliatory or civil.

It would also create the impression that the black community is worth being listened to, and that would put them in a dire predicament, as they are used to demonizing and ignoring the concerns of black people.

6. When they do this happens
"Meek said that in contrast to the things Scott says about President Obama on the stump, “he wouldn’t say that on WMBM, because he knows it would be offensive to people. He comes on here and talks about orange juice.”

They hate black people and they FEAR them. You better believe if they have the guts to go on black radio they definitely would not take callers. But then again, I'm sure there are some progressive bloggers who wouldn't take callers on black radio. ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?!

5. They don't talk to black people
after all, you don't talk to the demographic group you've been scapegoating and using for campaign rhetoric for the past 40 years.

9. That's because Black folks are born BS detectors.

The Rethugs would be found out in a few seconds or less. And no RW wants to be put on trial for his or her BS. ;)

Btw, thanks for the info. :hi:
