We honestly don't think he is, even though he wants you to think he just might be.
(photo: birther thinking about coming in out of the rain)
What he is, is not a birther, but so craven and desperate for notice that he casually hinted last week that he questions the validity of President Obama's American birth certificate.
It was in an off-hand comment last week. "I'd believe Obama's birth certificate before I'd believe hers." (it was in reference to some some dubious woman in one of his rancid tabloid "issues.")
As this week when this "small government libertarian" reaffirmed his stand on eugenics, that old Nazi medical plan for the "mud people," or, in Dori's plan, involuntary sterilization for people he deems stupid or evil. This time it was some drunk guy who threw his young son off a harbor sight-seeing boat. "He should be made to never have any more children. We need to get him out of the gene pool."
(Involuntary sterilization: a really big government solution)
(Of course, by Dori's standard, and to keep that gene pool pristine, the son should be neutered too).
What would motivate any broadcaster to question that besides that he would like to stir up shit that might get more listeners or respondents to write him on the "d-mail."
From another reader we heard about his outrage with the Obama administration over their making small towns replace their perfectly good traffic signs with new socialist ones that would make traffic signs all over the country uniform.
Just like something the socialist, big city Obamistas might pull on small towns who need that money for police cars and firemen rescuing kitties out of trees, right? The dumb ol' government thugs should stay out of our pocketbooks at least until the recession's over, right?
Dori ranted against Obama and all government about it ("No reason the government shouldn't be about half the size it is right now.") then played heart-rending audio from small town citizens bemoaning the expensive new mandates.
Problem is:
The original mandate was churned out by Bush administration regulators in 2003 as part of a routine update of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, the 816-page guide for traffic signs, signals and the like that seeks to set common standards nationwide
Then, implementation of the standards were dropped by the Obama administration, who said the rules were "burdensome to cash-strapped state and local governments!"
Don't expect a correction out of Dori, he's just on to the next sensational bit of fluff he hopes might get him a little more attention and a few more clicks "muh blog."
That is the objective of talk radio, of course; it's just that what makes Dori different than the rest of his Seattle talk cohort is that he'll say any goddamn thing to achieve it.

My master does it again, he stirs it up to the point that he becomes controversial and, ladies and gentlemen THAT is his design and intent. So many accidental listeners out there get panties in a twist over his antics. This creates interest, ridicule, praise and whatever, but most of all it maintains his presence like no other radio personality around here. This guy has got it all as a talk show host. He's now one of the few who still take phone calls sporadically. I say thank you to blather watch for helping keep my master in the limelight, so that the treats keep on coming. Eat your heart out, tommy.

Spot on, Star.
i will say that at least T008 is upfront about wanting to listen to Dori to bash him.
Sparkles, Joanie, Fremont, et al would normally go into a convoluted reason before reporting the latest 'Monson Outrage.'
You know, the 'I was riding in the car with someone else who had the radio on or the old reliable 'I was listening to Dave Ross and didn't get a chance to switch stations before Monson was on....'
Why not come out and say it. Love 'em or Hate 'em, Dori is your must listen to radio show.
Kind of funny, eh? Turns out that T008 is the honest one.

Monson sold his soul for a few bucks 10 years ago. Good show to listen to if you want to find some vacation property where there aren't a lot of 'cullards' around though.
So he built himself a little empire based on bigotry and racism. Whoopie. The guy is still going to hell.

Dr. Bill W on KGO is an old geezer here and Dori is going to hell in the minds of the distorted usual suspects because he dares to say BO - the emperor has no clothes (in his case solutions and common sense). Dr. Bill does have lofty credentials - I challenge whoever to check it out in Wikipedia- but I doubt if most here pay attention to the relevant stuff about him - with the low level intellectual comments I have seen.
If that comes to pass, Dori will have lots of company in hell from the posters on this blog down there too, along with the demented hag Maxine Waters who wants to take the Tea Party there - eh, Jovita ?
The moderate voice is not a bad blog - it has some valid reads and does sound like the voice of reason with a mind of its own and is not spoon fed solely by the NY Times, WaPo or the Huff and PUff Post - it uses some discretion.

Maxine Waters will be their supervisor in hell.
Posted by: Johnny Sombrerro | September 02, 2011 at 08:18 PM
I enjoy listening to Dr Bill. He is fascinating in many ways. I also enjoy listening to Ray Taliaferro, fascinating in many ways. Dori is screechy & boring. I am not saying I don't listen, but I turn him off a lot faster.
Posted by: AprilMayJune | September 02, 2011 at 09:23 PM
yes,Monson is basically saying, in cutesy phrasing, that he still doesn't believe Obama on the B.C. issue. With so much to criticize Obamam, only the real rightwing loons are still questioning his birth certificate after he had his records released earlier this year. You have to listen closely to Monson , as he drops these bombs here and there, in a fairly sly, infrequent manner, bombs that really define him as a nutjob.One of the moer extreme examples of his rightwing wackjob views is the fact that he has expressed numerous times over the years his belief that it is a property or home owners right to shoot to kill when his property (car) is being stolen but he himself is in no personal danger. He extended that point to new heights in nutjobbery a while back when he stated that a man who shot dead ( in the back) a burglar who was fleeing the house, running down the street, was justified and deserved no rea;punishment. There was no weapon involved with the fleeing burglar, he was simply running away, not shooting back or anything.

Speaking of soulless, what about that kid who works for him? Jake Turnbuckle. Didn't he used to be a liberal on TBTL? Now he's the perfect Young Republican with a little dash of Jesus just for good measure. I know work is hard to come by, but does Dori demand he hollow himself out for that $10 an hour he makes, or did he just volunteer?

"i will say that at least T008 is upfront about wanting to listen to Dori to bash him."
He also stated upfront that he listens to Michael Savage, who may be the best story teller on radio, although he goes off on a tangent easily at times in his own cerebral way. Don't think Savage cares much for the GOP field, except for Herman Cain, who I heard him interview and the interview flowed well - but Cain has two chances - slim and none and slim is getting ready to ride out of town. I like Cain too but know the reality here - he has about as much chance as Mr. Huntsman, who Joanie hopes runs vs. BO. The reality for Mr. Huntsman is not now, not ever, never...

John Rothman on KGO has rebuked Obama now twice this week- the other nioght over his "caving" to Boehner on changing his speech before Congress date, tonight for "pullling a stunt" and caving to Repugs by putting a hold on tightening clean air standards. This latest crap is sure to enrage the progressives like the Joanus and the greenie crowd, or "the greenie bastards" as Dr. Bill would say. If Obama loses his base , he has no chance at winning in 2012. Sorry Joanus. haha Joanus haha Joanus
Posted by: Tommy008 | September 02, 2011 at 10:24 PM
Rothman is a traditional Democrat and intelligent, but BO was trying to pull a stunt by doing his speech on the same night the Repug debate was previously scheduled. Boehner called him on it and they subsequently caved. Rothman is right though about them putting a hold on on the EPA standards as being an electoral stunt.
Rothman is at least partly in denial about how the Democratic Party has deteriorated since the days of Moynihan, Tsongas, Muskie, Henry Jackson and other moderate/conservative Dems who had integrity and retired. Now it has become a party of sychophants with the likes of Schumer, Reid, Kerry, Durbin and Stabenow not to mention the leftists in the House led by Queen biotch Pelosi, and race baiters in the CBC - pathetic. The GOP has moved to the right since the 70's and 80's, which has caused some deterioration - the Statesman have pretty much all retired.
Posted by: KS blathers and watches in amazement | September 02, 2011 at 11:06 PM
in denial= exactly . Rothman seems like an old fogey, out of touch, talking about Obama should emulate Truman IN 1948 and cammpaign against shose "no good damn Republicans" or whatever the old Truman quote he was using. Truman? Really? Rothman's show seems geared towatrds seniors, way too genteel for me, although im in his age group. I wish to Hell they'd replace him but knowing KGO he's got the spot pretty much until death. After reaming Obama for a half hour the other night, Rothman stated "but of course Obama is better than any Republican". There aer many Dems and Independents who simply don't believe that kind of crap anymore.
Posted by: Tommy008 | September 02, 2011 at 11:18 PM
Riddle me this: if Obama isn't a "mooslym" sympathizer, then why did he direct the CIA to take out bin Laden? Oh, wait. That doesn't make any fucking sense.
Posted by: The Original Andrew | September 02, 2011 at 11:19 PM
Obama's performance has been mixed . Excellent job on getting Obama, but when the Iranian uprising happenned we saw him almost genuflecting in aappeasement toward the vermin leader of Iran, causing outrage in the Iranian=American community. in many of his other actions he truly does indeed seem like a muslim sympathizer, at the expense of Christians and Jews.
Posted by: Tommy008 | September 02, 2011 at 11:49 PM
Jimmy Carter was not "better than any Republican" in 1979 and 1980, history clearly has shown. Rothman is a Dem koolaider and a clown.

hiding under your white sheet (Johnny Sombrero) again Joans, while you light your literary gas-soaked dog turd on my front step, ring the doorbell and run away? How childish and cowardly.
Posted by: Tommy008 | September 03, 2011 at 07:46 AM
You're the one making claims about going to Monoco and having a Jag. Anyone who boasts that often has about as much credibility as Tom Leykis. Where is he these days?
Posted by: Johnny Sombrerro | September 03, 2011 at 08:25 AM
Johnny (Joanie) Sombrerro - you exposed yourself as a bigot punk. You are clearly part of the problem. Look in the mirror and you will see a real a-hole.
Andrew - your comment makes no sense and is politically biased.
So, why does Obama go against Israel and side with Palestine ? Granted he does not like radical muslims that openly kill the infidel, but show us how from his other actions that doesn't make him a muslim sympathizer.
Posted by: KS blathers and watches in amazement | September 03, 2011 at 10:24 AM

Spot on. It's clear that Johnny's Sombrero is full of crap. Or rather, full of Coiler. But yeah, the look and smell of Sombrero reminds one of our Miss Joanie aka Miss Misanthrope.
As to Andrew, clearly brighter than Joanie and for sure he styles himself as unbiased or moderate, but truth be told his posts make clear he is fairly biased and makes uninformed charges. He's been called on it before on the Suits issue when he tried to blame the Victim, the NY Vinnie brouhaha when his cheap shots even got NY Vinnie peeved enough to call Andrew out (to which Andrew retreated to his 'hidey hole', or the numerous unfounded charges against 'conservatives.' I hoped he had matured a bit since then. Alas, he's just a brighter version of Joanie -without the paranoia or mean-spiritedness. But the broad brush he wields is very similar.
I don't think Pres Obama is a 'muslim sympathizer' any more than you would want from our President, rather his approach is to try and work overtly with them more so than Bush.
Let's hope that Pres Obama can get us out this war in Libya and not have that nation descend into chaos. If that happens, you know he'll have to follow up with significant troops in order to quell order. Too date, we've been able to write the check/launch missles role. Let's pray that we can walk that back a bit.
As to Dori, still waiting for one of Sparkles wild ass explanations as to how she 'accidentally' heard Dori's latest outrage that she'll breathlessly run to the 'puter to put on Blather. Maybe it will be a rehash of I Love Lucy and her new dental work bringing in Dori's Show...LMAO
