this exchange happened the other night at a debate between David Sirota and two, count em, two local wing-nut hosts Mike Rosen and Peter Boyles. What's frightening is the applause and cheers that follow. David had his fans, but the right-wingers always come out in more force to cheer on their radio-gods. Sirota has gone after Rosen for two days since this happend, these guys all work in the same Clear Channel building. Yikes!!!
On Wednesday night, I debated KHOW's Peter Boyles and 850 KOA host/Denver Post columnist Mike Rosen in front of a sold out audience in Centennial. During a question about whether an Islamic Center should be allowed to be built in Lower Manhattan, Rosen said that if one is built, he supports terrorists blowing it up. You can listen to the full debate here, or the specific excerpt in question here. After both myself and Boyles said the Islamic Center should be allowed to be built, Rosen said:
"I think they should be allowed to build it, followed by the hijacking of an Iranian plane right into that building and blow it to smithereens."
