Bob Murray getting blasted from an unlikely source.

I get into my car after dropping off our girl at daycare and the radio is on.

The John Boy and Billy radio show-I refuse to listen to their often racist bile, I couldn't believe what I heard.

It wasn't from the shows namesakes but one of the supporting cast was slowly painfully trying to point out that Murray was not only a "lightning rod" as John Boy called him but that he was way over the top using the press conferences, from the beginning, to attack his perceived enemies as well as outrageous tirades.

Then this (paraphrased) "Look I uh... I am no union guy or anything but uh... (long painful gaps) I just don't see why labor can't get together with management I mean these guys are out there laying it out on the line for US everyday and I mean .....regardless of whether we should still be doing coal I mean can't they work in a safe place" (agreeing grunts and "uh-huhs" in the background) "I mean labor has to do something for....for these guys they ...everyday they are out there our listeners in West Virginia and Kentucky and Virginia and I mean and now THIS GUY Murray says they are going to continue mining in the same mountain!!!" ( "uh-uh"s and "Oh man" s can be heard in the background) "I mean when when profit going to I mean human human beings and their families when what order can you put them in?!?!?"

About the time that I stopped listening to this show they actually had on someone from Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform on this show spewing their nonsense with the whole gang in agreement. That and some other horribly sexist racist and flat out ignorant crap was why I refuse to flip over to their show.

This was pretty amazing to hear them going off about.

Johnboybillybob are the worst kind of rednecks on the air. That said, it s amazing they didn't go to dead air when that
non-conservative opinion was spouted.
Where are you in Richmond?

:hi:

I'm right here.

:evilgrin:

West end.

Yeah I never check out the "Classic Rock" on the morning drive it was on that from yesterday. I had it on pause and when I started the car back up the radio was on.

Just got our power back around 11:00 after losing it last night at 6:00.
