The 12th Commandment Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 What an effin tool. I nailed him (IMO ), very calmly and respectfully, and he hung up on me and continued the discussion like I was still there. His second segment today was a tongue in cheek comparison between Obama's aunt and granting her asylum because of who she is and the 20 million (his number) Mexican illegals who face "the same danger" going back to Mexico. I pointed out that having the president as your *NEPHEW* (lols thanks ACW!) is a little different (and more dangerous) than a Mexican immigrant who is not involved in the drug trade, apples to oranges I said. He told me to go get an apple/orange and hung up on me before they could air my response that I was on my way to lunch and I'd see if they had any of them. Typical of him and I'm not dissapointed in the least, but it just goes to show how he's not interested in a real discussion, just hyperbole. What I didn't realize was that he hung up on people who didn't rant. I'll never believe he honestly wins a discussion on his show, though I doubted it anyway. He got my name wrong too...talk about journalistic integrity! OLS All in all it was kind of thrilling for a bumpkin like me. The only other time I ever got on (or tried) national radio was riggo on sirius back in '05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 While you might be shocked to hear this, this is common practice in radio, mostly to keep people in the phone queue and get to as many people as possible. Most radio personalities want to keep radio conversations brief and to the point and then will move on from there. Probably nothing personal, just the way things work.

The 12th Commandment Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Not shocked at all, just my first direct experience with it. If anybody else doubted, their doubts should be allayed. To actually have them respond to your point is expecting a little too much. I kinda figured that to begin with. Specially when it's about such a stooopid analogy. An interesting side note, I only had to wait about 3 minutes. When I talked to Riggo and Shine I had to wait about an hour. Since I was driving to Phoenix for the game, it wasn't a problem. I wasn't about to waste my lunch hour on Gibson but his premise was so absurd and the number was right there on my radio... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
