Emmer is settling into retirement on the radio

[CatholicEdHead]

I am so glad he is a morning radio talk show host instead of governor even though his blog has some doozies to attract ratings and listeners. His latest anti-Liberation Theology one bashes the christian tenant of helping the poor (probably goes over very well in the suburbs) by pulling the full communist card mixed in with quite a few more dog whistle words.

1. I've never listened to his show. He looks like a total oaf on the billboard.

:puke:

2. So true

I am wondering if they are keeping him here to keep his profile up for when Dayton's term comes to a end. Otherwise he is keeping the narrow base riled up every morning coming into work.

4. They had that billboard at the corner of Lake and Lyndale

and I thought "WTF?"

6. +1. Utter douche

And his show is crap.

3. Sounds like Glenn Beck

Social Justice = Mao
or some shit like that . . . .

5. I've only heard him on KFAN weekends ...

... when they pair him up with one of the sports guys for a show (cross-station promotion - what is it with the Twin Cities' media and all the cross-station/cross-medium combinations?). If it sounds like a forced, uncomfortable, unlistenable show, that is because it is. Truly bad radio.

7. Emmer was MN ALEC legislator for privatizing prisons

this article has ALEC all over it. I wouldn't be surprised if there are other similar writings on other neo-CONS sites.


Love how he defends the financial institutions that are destroying this country

8. Minnesota prisons are remarkably safe and well run...

... and we have a very low percentage of prisoners to population. Private prisons are not safe. This is a very bad idea.

Can someone push ALEC off a cliff?
