That is scary. Sad part is, these people evidently use this fake news to "validate" their religious and political convictions.

Ever hear the Phil Hendrie show on rightie talk radio? Sort of like a radio version of the Onion. Designed to make libruls look like uber fools. People would buy into that crap and call in all outraged. I thought it was a rather disgusting form of propaganda.

I agree there's not much sport in that its almost as bad as making fun of the special olympics.

Spoken not at all like a party hack.

You mean there's real news, too?

"I reject your reality and substitute my own." Adam Savage

Sometimes the real news is stranger and funnier than the parodies.

Uh-huh. You'd have to hear it to get where I'm coming from. I only heard a few episodes. One was a with woman who passed herself off as a therapist talking about how teenage girls need to experiment with older men in order to learn about their sexuality. Hendrie would interview her for awhile acting sorta shocked that she was actually saying that stiff. Anyone with half a brain could see what a grotesque caricature she was playing but plenty of thick headed fools called in to tell her what a piece of liberal crap she was.

She would bait them, telling them that they were merely ignorant and uniformed, going on in some bored, condescending intellectual voice.

Each of the few shows I heard, they'd latch onto some caricature of supposed libtard thinking and ape it to the max, as though these sort of people were real, and were out there mocking the good, red-blooded, conservative Americans who had the good sense to call in to try to set them straight.

Like I said, it was some disgusting shyte, if I'd run into the Hendrie character with the experience fresh in my mind, I'd a knocked him on his ass, believe it.

I once listened to a radio station talk show for about half an hour before I realized it wasn't a parody. It was some kind of gun show and people were calling in talking about the ridiculous numbers of guns they owned and how the government wanted to take them all away. It was just like the famous "show us your guns" bit from SNL in the 70s. Eventually, I figured out these nut-balls were serious, which made it even funnier.

That can be its own kind of trip all right. People get funny around their guns. Look at all the people who were seriously animated over Waco, probably still are, in support of Koresh's right to keep a major arsenal on hand to protect, in part, his routine with 14 year old wives bestowed upon him by his grateful congregation.

But this guy Hendrie was definitely parody. I did a search on a couple of the guests he had on and the only hits were to his show. Later I read a few items about his routine.

I've never heard him, but I haven't listened to talk radio in a long time.

The majority of Mr. Koresh's weapons were legal, in fact, he held a Federal Firearms License to buy and sell weapons. The ATF's ill planned assault was supposed to be a headline grabber, but not in the way it turned out. I lost a classmate, Conway Lebleu, who died on the roof of the compound, in attack that never needed to happen.
Koresh was seen all the time in town, where ATF or local law enforcement could have nabbed him. The grandstand raid, ala Randy Weaver, was a show to let people know how "tough" the agency was.
The tactical planning was pi$$ poor. ATF was actually lucky that no one inside Mt Carmel actually had any basic military defense training or they would have buried a lot more agents.

A total shame and waste. ATF management should have been held criminally liable for squandering the lives of their people in a useless event that didn't need to happen to serve justice.

The carmelites should have surrendered upon the realization of what they had done: but the hypnotized zealot belief that the apocolypse had begun prevented them from believing anything that the LEOs told them after the first attack. Another BIG reason why they should have nabbed Koresh in town. I have no sympathy for the Carmelites, except that they too died for no good reason.

^^ I agree, they should have nabbed him in town. Way too many 'break down the door' raids for crimes that are not that pressing, not immediately life threatening.
