We gave radio host Mancow Muller credit last month for submitting himself to waterboarding and then having the honesty to admit it constitutes "torture." But it's worth remembering how rancid his WLS show often is.
For instance, on yesterday's program, Mancow highlighted Rev. Jeremiah Wright's recent comment that "them Jews" in the White House won't let President Obama talk to him. Mancow went on to assert that, because of his connection to Wright, Obama is an "anti-Semite" who was "popping champagne" following the June 10 shooting at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.
Mancow also said of the president: "[W[hen you see the way Obama is kissing Muslim butt and selling out Israel, you realize where it all came from ... The radical, Black Panther wife and Rev. Wright the anti-Semite." Listen:
Just a little taste of what's on your local airwaves ...
Full transcript below:
MULLER: Did you hear that Obama and Rev. Wright were popping champagne last night?
PAT CASSIDY (co-host): Yeah? Where was this at?
MULLER: Well, they were excited over the shooting at the Holocaust Museum.
CASSIDY:Oh, please.
MULLER: No, Pat. I am convinced that this president hates Jews and he hates Israel. And look, he spent 20 years sitting in a pew --
CASSIDY:Rev. Wright does, I think so.
MULLER: He spent 20 -- look guys, he spent -- and I know the criminal, liberal, state-controlled media doesn't report it, but Obama sat in our city folks -- before I knew the name Obama, I knew Rev. Wright. I'm a churchgoing guy. And I knew what a racist anti-Semite this guy was. What church -- I ask you people -- what church celebrates Louie Farrakhan that isn't -- what Christian church would celebrate this guy?
So now here's Rev. Wright: "Them Jews won't let Obama talk to me."
[PLAYS AUDIO CLIP OF WRIGHT COMMENT]
MULLER: Okay? Obama sat there with this Jew-hater for 20 years. Obama, let's remember this, dedicated his book to him. Named his book after one of Rev. Wright's sermons.
CASSIDY: The "audacity of hope" is from a Rev. Wright sermon.
MULLER: Okay? And then when anyone question this anti-Semite, race-baiting hater, oh they're charged with being a Republican attack machine. Okay? This guy is no man of God. He is evil. And when you see the way Obama is kissing Muslim butt and selling out Israel, you realize where it all came from: the radical wife, okay? The radical, Black Panther wife and Rev. Wright the anti-Semite.
So here we go. Here we go again. World War II. Here we go.
CASSIDY: Well, there's no question that Rev. Wright is a racist. And he certainly appears to be anti-Semitic, certainly his comments last night -- and he's made a million of them.
MULLER: "Those Jews" aren't going to let me talk.
CASSIDY: Exactly. And that was pretty clear. It's hard to hear the sound-bite, but you could definitely hear it.
MULLER: Yeah, well, "them Jews won't let me talk to Obama." Who's he talking about? Rahm Emanuel?
CASSIDY: That's exactly right.
MULLER: Yeah, yeah, so I'm betting these two, these two anti-Semites -- yes, your president; you voted for him, mouth-breathers -- your president and Rev. Wright -- two great Chicagoans, two great race -- hey, race-baiting is a way of life here in Chicago -- two great race-baiters. I bet they were popping champagne over the shooting at the Holocaust Museum.
CASSIDY: I doubt that. That's ridiculous to say that. No question.
MULLER: Really?
CASSIDY: Yeah. They're celebrating a shooting at the Holocaust Museum?
MULLER: Yeah. Yeah.

I don't listed to the show, but based on the transcript it sounds like Cassidy is a voice of sanity. That is an improvement over many of these shows that have no sane people to moderate the "TALENT".

There was a pretty interesting moment later in yesterday's program where Cassidy criticized some other vile statement from Mancow. In response, Mancow basically told Cassidy to shut up or he'd kick him off the show.

2 bad I can't waterboard Mancow myself!

Obama should sue this guy for defamation.

It should be against the law to lie and say something that you know aint true. People will stop at nothing to degrade a man for trying to turn things around for the good.

Mancow, you state you are a Christian. I beg to differ. You are a lying, disgusting pretense of being a man.

This is just Mancow's pathetic attempt to get back in with right wing wackodom. He got himself in a bit of trouble with them for his brief moment of clarity after his near death waterboarding experience. Instead of taking a lesson from his experience, that he follows a group of liars, he's anxious to get back into the fold.

Jew hater, Muslim hater, black hater, all haters are speaking out, but, we should criticize all haters equally. when Muslim haters speak freely without any backlash of public and media and we let it go on, but we are so critical of Jew haters 9which we should be) then inequality exists. let's criticize all haters equally, and stop Muslim hating.

Obama is an anti-semite? His chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, and his top advisor, David Axelrod, are both Jewish, you friggin' moron!

Is Mancow trying to make up to the right for getting waterboarded and admitting it was torture.

Anyone who calls himself 'mancow' is already beyond the pale.

Mancow is a member in good standing of the hate speech industry. One moment of honesty (re: waterboarding) does not make up for the years of race baiting.

Mancow also said of the president: "[W[hen you see the way Obama is kissing Muslim butt and selling out Israel, you realize where it all came from ... The radical, Black Panther wife and Rev. Wright the anti-Semite." Listen:

Honestly, Rev. Wright is old news---hasn't this guy got anything new to say---he sounds just like these right-wing whackos he's apparently trying to get in bed with. Also, for some reason, people seem to have totally forgotten that Rev. Wright's church is also multiracial, which means,yes, even WHITE folks go to his church. If he was this big-time racist that the right-wingers claim he is, don't you think we would have heard of BEFORE the election? He's nothing like these crazy-ass white supremacists who hate everyone of color (and everyone else they don't consider white and American enough) so damn bad that they'll shoot up a museum or church, or kill a doctor at an abortion clinic. And I thought everybody knew that Rahm Emanuel was Jewish--apparently Mancow's too damn lazy to do his own damn research--duh. I used to listen to this guy a decade ago when his show was syndicated on a Detroit talk station late at night---he was actually cool and funny to listen to sometimes, but I guess now since the economy and everything's messed up, he's showing his true colors and deciding that oh-the-poor-put-upon-white-man-hasn't-got-a-voice so he's gonna provide one. And that s*** he said about Obama & Wright wasn't the least bit damn funny. Screw him.

Obama's Administration is full of Jews from the ground up. What is this idiot talking about? Many of them left over from Bush. Obama's entire Foreign Policy and Economic teams are all Zionist Jews. 80% of the Czar's are Zionist jews. The FED Chairmen is a Jew. Treasure Secretary is a Jew. Top Adviser is a Jew. Chief of Staff is a Jew. The Head of Homeland Security is a Jew.
Jews run this country regardless of who is the President. ManCow knows this.. he is just doing what Jewish Radio Host do.... race bait the dumb goyim and play both sides.

ManCow was on the Alex Jones Show today (who refuses to talk about zionism) claiming he attends "Satanic Hollywood Parties with well known actors" He described the people at the party as "Nuns and priest engaging in orgies and blood letting" He also claims to have been contacted by a mysterious 'government man' called Mr. X who warned that there were 'shape shifters' at the party.
Alex Jones became uncomfortable during the interview and didn't know how to respond. ManCow then said he practices 'remote viewing' in satanic rituals.
As if that isnt weird enough... he quickly ends the interview with Alex Jones by saying "You know.. we all grew up with..
'We were brought up in schools with 'never again 'never again... well never again is happening again. We better wake up to what this President really is and speak up for Israel" - ManCow
The guy is a Israeli loudmouth clownman.

Part of the irony of these 'American Christians' is that they seem absolutely unaware of the fact that about a third of the Palestineans are themselves Christians and have been since, well, the time of the Apostles, yet any support shown to the Palestineans is considered to be by defintion anti-Semitic and anti-Christian. Here is a controversial proposition. Some of us scripture scholars suspect that there is more than few Jewish genes in the Palestinean population themselves. Someone should fund a study to see how many of the Palestineans themselves have the Jewish genetic markers.
