Opinions please...

[SimpleMan]

I hope I can get some of your opinions on this.

Friday afternoon, a local (right wing) radio personality was going on and on about how horrible it would be for Hillary to become President in 2008...and that we should all do something to prevent her from running. During his rant, he was taking calls from some of the knuckle draggers in the area. Almost everyone that called agreed that we should fear Hillary (I never got a reason why, BTW).

Anyhow, one caller called and I have paraphrased it here:

-----------

Caller: We need to make sure "Hitlery" NEVER gets nominated for President.

DJ: By any means necessary...

Caller: We can't take that chance. If she gets nominated, she might win. We HAVE to prevent it.

DJ: By any means necessary...

Caller: I say, if we can't knock her out using soap box, and we can't trust the ballot box, we could always go get a little help from the "CARTRIDGE BOX."

DJ: By any means necessary...

----------


This was an obvious reference to assasinating the ex-First Lady (and present Senator from NY). And hearing this really got to me. Hearing the DJ agree made it many times worse. I tried to call the station to complain, but it was after hours by that time. This radio conversation happened at 5:19 pm, so the office at the station had closed for the weekend. It is a Cumulus station, BTW...right in the heart of Scarborough Country.

Here's where I need your opinions:

Am I making too much of this?

If not, what can I say or do to make them even take notice?

BTW, this guy has banned any calls from my phone number to his show. We never did see eye to eye any time I called. ;)


On edit: Here is the guy's information, if any of you have a wild hair and want to contact him.

1. report it to the FBI...There are laws against threating

anyone with death. That is a death threat if I have ever seen one.

[wryter2000]

9. You're right, dork

However, the next thing you'd hear from this *ssh*le DJ would be what a victim he is.

I'd write a letter to the station that while it's okay to vehemently disagree with HRC and try to keep her from holding office, making threats against her life is against the law.

BTW, I think it would be the Secret Service to call. They're still protecting her, I think.

[dorktv]

13. well whenever there is a threat against a first lady or the

prez or formers, they track them. Now if the threat is big enough I think they tell the FBI so they can be arrested. There is like a system of major threats, medium threats and minor threats...um hang on.

This shows what they are suppose to do.

2. Send a transcript to Hillary Clinton's office, and suggest

that they may want to send it to the FBI. Perhaps you want to send it to the FBI?

I'll be back in a moment with H.C.'s address.

17. Transcript?

I wonder if they even keep transcripts of their shows. I will find out though.

[quinnox]

3. This is very serious

You should contact the Secret Service, and report this. Tell them what station and time the call was, and tell them what was said. Hillary Clinton, as a U.S. Senator and wife of a former president is protected by the Secret Service, and threats like this are taken seriously by that outfit.

[dorktv]

5. Except when the person doing it is a U.S. Congressperson.

[Jacobin]

4. Send it to the FBI. It's a crime to threaten to kill a senator

[never cry wolf]

6. please out this guy here

no, you are not making too much of it. give us the dj's name and station, maybe with enough attention and mail we can get him reprimanded or something. welcome to du, btw. :hi"

[SimpleMan]

15. I posted all the information (on edit) in my original post. nt

7. What station, DJ's name?

I'd like to say I don't believe it but I do.

One of our local idiots did the same thing in regard to a local war protester.
Pat Snyder of 550 AM in central Wisconsin, he recently broke both legs and an arm after leaving a strip club on his motorcycle drunk as a skunk, wrapped it around a tree.

8. Here's the FBI's tip page

https://tips.fbi.gov/

I don't know if it's appropriate, but here's what it says at the top:

While the FBI continues to encourage the public to submit information regarding the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, this form may also be used to report any suspected criminal activity to the FBI.

[donco6]

10. That's a threat of bodily harm.

It should be investigated. You can't do that against anyone, let alone a former first lady.

[goobergunch]

11. Contact the Secret Service. It's illegal to threaten a fmr First Lady...

and is "Scarborough Country" FL-1/Pensacola?

[SimpleMan]

16. Yep

Unfortunately so. It wasn't his show (obviously), but it is Pensacola (the Redneck Riveria).

[mbee]

20. Senator Clinton has Secret Service and I'm sure they'll take this

seriously because that's why she has their protection to guard her against this type thing.

[Rick Myers]

12. ABSOLUTELY!!! Report it NOW!!!

Give the FBI the station, time of day and any other info you have. This IS a threat to a person guarded by the Secret Service as former First Lady. Same as threatening the Prez!!!

[PaDUer]

19. US SENATOR

also...Put them pukes on the line, let them know what it feels like! Unless they get a taste of their own medicine and held responsible for what they say, they'll continue and these maniacs will deliver and get away with it!

[karlschneider]

14. Just saw your edit, I had correctly googled the asshole....

I bet he is just another chickenshit chickenhawk.
:grr:

[karlschneider]

[never cry wolf]

22. thanks for the info on this guy

[CarlBallard]

[ElsewheresDaughter]

[CarlBallard]

[ElsewheresDaughter]

[never cry wolf]

34. yes, i got it

thanks alot!!!

[ewagner]

24. Report this immediately

This is very serious.

[grasswire]

27. the station has a tape recording...

...even if there's no transcript.

I agree, this is serious for both the caller and the DJ.

I wonder if the advertisers know about this? Hm?

[SimpleMan]

32. Thank you...

I'll see if I can get a copy. I will definitely call Senator Clinton's office tomorrow...either way.

I hope that some of us here can call him during his program tomorrow too. I will be listening. Plus, anyone that wants to call his office would be wonderful. :)

I'm not sure who his advertisers are...but I will find out. And I'll also try to find a good e-mail address. I wonder if [e-mail] might not get to him. Hmmmm....

[MiltonLeBerle]

29. Have you ever considered listening to music?

I never understand why left-wingers bother to listen to right-wing talk shows-
what do you expect?

[SimpleMan]

33. A little bit of decency and class would be nice. nt

[never cry wolf]

30. pepina, pepina, the barn's on fire

oops, wrong mc coys. my google turned up very little on the guy but had 80% of 19 pages on the luke mc coy from the real mc coys (richard crenna just died this spring.)

anyway, all i could find was a reference to his show in some florida supreme court hearing about a ruling on a judge. i don't speak "legal" but it seems pretty innocuous.

35. for what it's worth...

....the freepers who protested Hillary in Cleveland over the weekend report that a young man was pulled over at the site who had a gun in his car.

[bitchkitty]

36. Never heard of this loser -

but there are plenty more like him in local markets all over the States. They must not be paying him much - that's one of the most unprofessional, ugly sites I've ever seen!

[SimpleMan]

37. Believe it or not...

He's one of the most popular personalities in this area. At least, that's the way it seems. I (personally) can't stand the guy. Big fish in a little redneck pond, I guess.
