Epic Radio Fail

Seriously epic. This would be something to put in the sidebar, but you really have to hear the audio yourself. Please listen to as much – or as little – of the following audio clip as you feel necessary, and, if you want, download it yourself.  Basic overview: a very, very wealthy PUMA managed to buy up some airtime on a local Pacifica radio station in Houston, Texas. For about an hour or so, she subjected my erstwhile hometown to the regular run of PUMA insanity, from primary denialism (“Obama broke the rules by following the rules that he and Hillary agreed to!”) to spinning volunteer programs as forced labor (16:50). High point: the PUMA radio host – Jennifer – claims to have a law degree, than accuses Obama of ignoring the Constitution’s rules for the orderly management of primaries.

Dear readers – please skim the Constitution, and tell me if you ever notice anything about primaries. Anyways, have a listen.

Some highlights…

• To hear a Hillary delegate who’s well-aquainted with the primary process explain why the PUMAs are wrong, over their angry objections, skip to 29:30;
• To hear a guy call them out on Hillary breaking her own rules, skip to 17:20;
• To hear why PUMAs censor comments on their blogs (hint – because they lose, hard), skip to 37:10, and keep listening through 41:00, when it becomes clear that PUMAs were pro-Iraq War (oops!).
• To hear a caller put his finger on the pulse of PUMA, remind them that Hillary & Bill asked them to stop, and Jennifer “explain it away” by saying that they’ve “moved beyond Hillary,” turn to 42:00, and stay tuned through 45:00.

Oh, and the fallout for the host station after the PUMAs took control? Have a read yourself: per their official blog, “WTF was that?”

Turning to radio programs hosted by admitted conservatives, “The Great One” Mark Levin is having about one coronary episode per minute on his show as of Friday, and jumping pretty quickly on the opportunity to throw John McCain under the bus for supporting amnesty. The ties that bind: not so strong, actually.
