If you make your living popping your buttons everyday on the radio: it's hard to convince listeners that you're the maddest you've ever been.
That's what Dori Monson (KIRO m-f, 12-3p) tried to do again Monday.
McCain has not only disappointed Dori by voting for the bail-out but he's getting trounced by Barack Obama -- that's gotta be getting to the little guy. He calls Obama "as corrupt a politician you'll ever see," and "the most radical leftist we'll ever elect."
That helps Dori blow up real good for the microphone, but nobody's buying it. Obama's in landslide territory.
But Monday, Monson using all the fake guile his radio schtick could cough out, went to "the dark place," and called for Revolution! ( he's Lake Forest Park-Jaguar-driving-talk host/sportscaster-who-makes- $150,000-a-year-and-that's-before-the-Gutter Helmet-endorsements kind of revolutionary!)
He cited dark conspiracies that come from some of the freakiest corners of the far right .
In his meanest "football voice" (neck-wattle quivering, lip menacingly beaking) he declaimed the "evil cabal" of Wall Street, Congress and House members, senators, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, and even George Bush and McCain. They're nothin'' but "dancin' marionettes."
And who's the puppet master? GEORGE SOROS! that evil billionaire socialist!
Dori says, "That's why the The 2nd Amendment is the 2nd amendnment." But he's not "calling for an armed revolution" (that would be, er... illegal). He advises using his sage but weary "baseball voice," letting it trail off dramatically... "Do I think it's wise right about now to make sure they can take care of themselves, their homes, their family? Yeah. I do."
Because now government and corporations, says the Dor-ster, think
they're so "powerful and impervious that we could never touch them." (This
is what the right-wing militias claim: regular folks like us will
have to defend our homes with guns from the greedy Wall Street socialists (read Jews)
who, with the help of left-wing government running dogs, are coming
to take everything we own and redistribute it among the the illegals, the
homeless, felons, and other subhumans).
He says it's a very real danger.
That'll happen because, Dori says, they want us weak and desperate because when we're weak, and have lost everything, we'll then go to Barack Obama, and say " please, please Chosen One,... implement economic plans so we'll never have to worry about this again." We'll stop working or dreaming, get government check and lose our precious freedom and liberdees (not to speak of our credit cards) and we won't even care. Dori says: that's exactly what George Soros wants, and "they've fingered" (Obama) to deliver the message.
PLUS nothing can be done about it if we don't get rid of the income tax!
"THE DAY I ASSIGN MY LIFE TO THESE SOULLESS BASTARDS IS THE DAY MY LIFE IS WORTH NOTHING!" he roared." THE DAY I ROLL OVER IS THE DAY I MIGHT AS WELL KEEP ROLLIN' SIX FEET UNDER!
Then the tremor in his voice and the calm: "I'm begging you do not give in." It was very moving.
Dori pretended to calm down after a Snapple, and a news break. Then he wrote on his blog and it hung it all together:
Shortly after 9/11, Bin Laden said he would bring down America from within by tearing down our economy. People like George Soros who is the most dominant economic force in the democratic party would love to see the exact same thing so he can impose his vision of a socialist America.
Everything in Barack Obama's career has been a testament to radical leftist politics - far different from the facade he's created on the campaign trail. But, let's face it, McCain hasn't been much better with his support of the bailout and the mortgage buyout he proposed in Tuesday's debate.
Don't know whether Dori's phony outrage is show business as usual, or (like Bill O'Reilly's) because he lost a bunch of dough in the market.
He can't be happy that the free markets made freer by fine conservative deregulators appointed by Bush to head-up regulating agencies are much to blame for his losing his kids' college education funds. He can't be overjoyed that the hands-off by government theory of governing has been exposed as the tragic bullshit it is.
And oh yeah: Soros is no socialist...progressive? very. Politically active in progressive causes? Praise Cthulhu yes! But he's no socialist, in fact, he's credited with helping Poland and Czechoslovakia dump Russian socialis and is an inspired speculator in the world's markets; he's a hugely capitalist man who putsw his megabucks where his mouth is. No socialist by any definition we know.
There's enough to worry about in this crisis without arming yourself to fight off the (black,Jewish) socialists who want to stifle your drive to strive by handing a monthly check. So we suggest you don't.
Just remember: All Dori Monson wants is to pay no taxes; see his enemies fail; get more callers, and be the biggest little man in radio.
He needs college money for his kids? Sell the jag, Dori.
I'm confused. First Wall Street was the answer to everything and now it's the problem?
Well, one thing is certain: there's enough idiots out there to keep the dori-man in his well-paid job for as long he wants to drive that jag.
Posted by: joanie | October 10, 2008 at 07:39 AM
Tsk Tsk Dori. If you lost money in the stock market, that is your fault because as you tell people every day, you, and you alone, are responsible for making decisions that affect your life.
Dori, Rush, Hannity, Beck, et al will all be voting for Obama, if only for the fact that an Obama presidency would give them something about which to express their faux outrage.
Posted by: sparky | October 10, 2008 at 09:58 AM
I disagree that Monson is insincere. He genuinely believes in what he says.

Waiting for Duffman to come tell me Im jealous of Dori.....
Posted by: sparky | October 10, 2008 at 10:47 AM
he must of lost some income after his "Stupid Prices" spots stopped airing.
He can't make it on 150 grand when others can send their kids to college on half that? It's called setting money aside, in a money market or similar account years ago. I think he's selfish, after all he bragged about taking his family to France bringing food on board to save money.
Posted by: Coiler | October 10, 2008 at 10:51 AM
Does anyone know whether he actually owns the Jag or is he getting comped it for pimping them on his show.
Posted by: drool | October 10, 2008 at 11:19 AM
I'm certain the Jag is comped. Mike Webb had a comped Lexus.
I wish Dori showed a little humility and admitted that MORE REGULATION is and was required. Their claim that this was caused by progressive housing programs is laughably desperate. Those greedy lenders did it for the MONEY not because some twenty to thirty year old housing program told them to.
It thought Dori made more than 150k. He talks as if he's exceedingly succesful and carrying the weight for society but that's nowhere near the highest tax bracket. The governemnt isn't taking nearly as much money from him as I had thought, his outrage seems all the more rediculous now. He's really coming off as someone who doesn't want to contribute anything to the society he profits from.

Duffman says to go ahead and discuss amongst yourselves, he doesn't have time for lemming-training today. No need to wait for my guidance. :)
Posted by: Duffman | October 10, 2008 at 11:59 AM
Mike Webb owned his Lexus. It was a 2003. It was his pride & joy. Wouldn't he be disgusted hearing what Dori has to say? They hated each other, and the Dorster tried to get him fired.
Posted by: Janjabar | October 10, 2008 at 12:07 PM
I for one dxon't miss the likes of Duffman and the others who made this string so despicable for so long. I might come back more often if there is no more of that personal bickering.

Top 10 reason to vote for John McCain:
10. Because the only terrorists you want your president palling around with are the domestic ones.
9. He's already got 10 houses. What's one more?
8. It will keep him from behind the control stick of an airplane.
7. We finally get a real competitor for the Washington Times Vice Presidential Swimsuit Competition.
6. If we put the button high enough, he won't ever be able to push it.
5. At last, the Supreme Court will get a chance to re-visit Plessy v. Ferguson.
4. John McCain's middle name is Sydney and everybody loves Australia!
3. We desperately need to defend America from witches.
2. If I don't vote for him this time, I won't get another chance!
1. Jesus told me to.
Posted by: Ralph | October 10, 2008 at 04:48 PM
Words have consequences...just watched video of a mcCain rally where people are screaming that Obama is an Arab, a terrorist and a Muslim. McCain was forced to defend Obama and his supporters boo'd him for it.
I hope you guys are happy. You have a mess on your hands and McCain has backed himself into a corner.
This morning I heard a gentleman say (on the radio) that he voted for McCain, and McCain won, the primary because he ran as John McCain. "This angry, racist-fueling flipflopper is someone I don't recognize, and I will not be voting in this election."
Posted by: sparky | October 10, 2008 at 05:21 PM
Hey Sparky. At least McCain stood up and defended Hussein. What class. Thats the stuff Presidents are made of.
Now, what did Hussein do all those times in the pews when Rev. Wright G.D'd America. Maybe you should look at those videos again. And look closely. Look at the others in the church hooting and howling. Jumping up and down. High fiving each other. Do you think Hussein just sat back and made a disgusting face while his fellow church goers were having fun at the expense of America? C'mon.

Posted by: Duffman | October 10, 2008 at 06:31 PM
he defended him? well I would call it saving face after nearly all his former peer group which had respect for him previously said he was blowing it by not calling out the bigots in the crowd UNTIL it had become a PR nightmare And it did blow up as it showed us who his base is when they booed him.
Posted by: Coiler | October 10, 2008 at 06:31 PM
I'd say that McCain was too charitable IMO toward Obambam, but it shows class. He sees the race card coming out if he brings up Wright - I am not sure that excrement like that from the race baiters on the left should deter him. However, if he looks at the big picture, he will realize that ACORN is the one issue that BHO will try and run away and lie about it in the process. Even CNN (Drew Griffin) shone light on the truth that proved Obama and his website"Fight the Smears" to be LIEING about. He did have an affiliation with ACORN this year and in fact donated $800,000 + to CSI, who has the same board of directors as ACORN. He did this back when he was in the primary battle with Hillary Clinton.
When analysts look back on the Dem. primary, they will probably find that if it weren't for ACORN, Sen. Clinton would be the Presidential nominee and from what I know now, I'd definitely be more comfortable if she were the next POTUS than someone who works tirelessly at concealing who he really is and has less experience than Sen. Clinton in a dangerous world. However, this election isn't over until its over and there is still a chance that the electorate will come to its senses and vote for McCain/Palin (who has as much experience and more common sense than that hip-dude Obama), but in reality - only if the economy stops tanking and starts recovering. So you Lunatics for Obama will naturally keep hoping for more economic gloom and doom to distract the electorate - jackasses !
Posted by: KS | October 10, 2008 at 06:42 PM
Coiler, how about Hussein. He could have booed. But he didn't did he. No, he went and defended the guy on national televison. No class there, just saving face and his political career.
Posted by: nevets | October 10, 2008 at 06:50 PM
He was too charitable? Like the white dude cannot look at the black man during a moment of discussion?
Something like justice delayed here. McCain gets everything he deserves , he ran a shitty campaign and played the race card based on allegations that the black man might be a threat to Americans.
It backfired and that crazy woman from Wasilla is the icing on the cake.
Posted by: Coiler | October 10, 2008 at 06:52 PM
Stop with Hussein meme, Steven. It isn't working with me and only shows how fucked up you are with your view of what you don't know. Yes, Barack showed class, he didn't bring out the Black Panthers, like you wanted did he?
Posted by: Coiler | October 10, 2008 at 06:55 PM
And what don't I know Coiler. That Farrakan called Hussein the Messiah. That kids are praising him with songs. That teeagers are pledging themselves to him. That he hides behind a "CHANGE" sign that you can't see through.
I already know those things. Now tell me something I don't know.
So showing "class" by your definition is defending Rev. Wright for his anti-America rants. Wow. Thats really messed up. Where did you get your education. SHoreline H.S.
Posted by: nevets | October 10, 2008 at 07:10 PM
No more than Hagee nevets, Hagee. ok? We've been all over the Wright issue and by the polls it is DEAD. What is it with Shoreline, you tell me. I have no idea what your referring to.

That's what I was going to say, Andrew. The only acorn I know on this blog is Klueless.
Steven, you're over. I don't know why anybody talks to you anymore. You're the guy I saw on MSNBC waiting in line to see McCain and the guy that was so over the top in his hate that even McCain recognized the pure evil his campaign had unleashed. It is becoming lethal. But you are those people. Do you like yourself?
Yes, I had some respect for the first time for McCain. Now, if only I knew whether it was decency that spurred his comments or the knowledge that his hate-talk was actually backfiring on him and his campaign.
I heard on Olbermann (I think) that Hannity is choirmaster and he's not happy with McCain's decent remarks. Hannity and the rest of the hate-talkers are about all McCain's got left.
Sparky, why did you have to ask Duffman back. Nobody missed him.

2 - Governor - Dino Rossi (R)
3 - Lt. Governor - Marcia McCraw (R)

So Cal, like Coiler you don't tell me something I dont know. If you and Coiler cant come up with something I dont know, then what I know is basically what you know of your candidate Hussein. So basically, wait let me think. Ug,Um uh,um. Yes, yes, "you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground."
And Coiler, the polls? This is an election year. The polls don't close until after the election. I am still surprised, knowing that Farrakhan is calling him the Messiah, Rev. Wright GD'ing America while Hussein sat in the pews, and Husseins own close relationship with a rapist who raped our country that you still support him. Totally surprised and dismayed. Do you do it do get attention. Or is your anger towards President Bush that deep that you would flush your country down the toilet like, well, a coiler.

Gee joanie, I posted a link a few weeks ago showing the threats, jeers and spitting towards a peaceful McCain rally in New York City by no other than Hussein supporters. Why do you give those actions a pass.
But at least McCain had the class to not play along and get lured into a trap by Hussein plants. Thats what it looked like to me. Like those that made a ruckus at a Hussein rally in Florida the other week. All a ruse. And all the while, Hussein the Messiah just sits back and laughs at it. THis is the dirty politics that is Chicago.
Posted by: nevets | October 10, 2008 at 09:16 PM
"You're the guy I saw on MSNBC waiting in line to see McCain and the guy that was so over the top in his hate that even McCain recognized the pure evil"
But if I am right, and he was a plant by Hussein. Then the guy cant be me, but is actually you Joanie. Think about it. Remember the faintings. Pure Chicago politics.
Posted by: nevets | October 10, 2008 at 09:27 PM
I did not see any post showing Obama supporters calling McCain an Arab or a Muslim or a terrorist.
I don't always read you, Steven. You are so general and irrelevant in your comments. The accusations and hateful language you spew are not relevant to choosing which man should run the country.
Now, I'm curious, where and when did Obama supporters accuse McCain of being a muslim, terrorist or Arab? I'm curious now.
If I am right...there you go guessing again. That's why I continue to gloss over your rantings. No there there. What if you're wrong?
Posted by: joanie | October 10, 2008 at 09:32 PM
Hey Sparky, check this out if you dare.
The political entourage included Alderman Michael Chandler, William Delgado, chief of staff for State Rep Miguel del Valle, and spokespersons for State Sen. Alice Palmer, Sonya Sanchez, chief of staff for State Sen. Jesse Garcia, who is running for State Rep in Garcia's District; and Barack Obama, chief of staff for State Sen. Alice Palmer. Obama is running for Palmer's vacant seat.
After you implicated Palin and her husband to the Alaskan Seccesionist Party. I thought it would be nice to get your opinion of the above.
Posted by: nevets | October 10, 2008 at 09:34 PM
I could have sworn that the "terrorist" was screamed out after McCain said Ayers name. Instead of taking Randis word. Watch it for yourself.
Like Sparkys post about McCain and his "My fellow Prisoners". Was I supposed to just take it as it was. No, I looked it uo and sure enough, thats what he said.
As far as the Arab remark. What did McCain do. He defended Hussein. Did Hussein defend America when Rev.Wright GD'd America. No.
Posted by: nevets | October 10, 2008 at 09:39 PM
So...what does that have to do with hate talk and what I already enumerated?
See, Steven, you talk in circles. I do not have a clue how this link connects to my comments above.
Can you not use your own words to convey a response? I do not understand your point here. I don't know what you and Sparky were talking about. But this link has nothing - zero - naught - to do with my comments above. Unless I missed something...
If I did, FCS point it out!
Sorry, but you can be frustrating and I don't want to have to repeat a third time my challenge to you.
Posted by: joanie | October 10, 2008 at 09:45 PM
You know, there are idiots on both sides. So, are you one of them?
BTW, apparently you didn't see the news item today about which we are speaking. It wasn't one hard-to-understand individual who shouted out a stupid remark. It was a whole bunch of em that were talking and booing in extremist ways. And the words they used were clearly heard by everyone. They thought such talk was normal.
John McCain refuted it. But, I notice, you didn't respond to the question about whether he refuted it for political reasons or decent reasons? Whichever, we'll never know for sure. Will we, Steven?
Posted by: joanie | October 10, 2008 at 09:49 PM
Obama challenged the petitions of his rivals and was able to get every one of them thrown off the ballot. By the time the ballot was drawn up for the 1996 election, Obama’s was the only name in the race.
Nonetheless, Obama still coveted the New Party endorsement.
Posted by: nevets | October 10, 2008 at 10:00 PM
C'mon. If you watched it, you would have noticed that right away he started backing away from the question. That tells me he did it for decent reason. And you are right. We might never know if those yelling those boos were Hussein plants. But the odds are high in favor of it.

I just checked the link...it doesn't say anything about anybody calling McCain a terrorist, arab or muslim.
It is a right-wing screed about socialism and tries to equate it to communism. Anybody can do that. Doesn't make it true.
Erickson's last statement is a straw man. Erickson demonstrates nothing about the New Party that it wants to overthrow the US. As for capitalism, there is nothing in the Constitution that makes capitalism the official economic system of the US. The United States is capitalistic only to the extent that Congress makes it so, not by Constitutional necessity.
One of the commenters responding to your link.
You see, Steven? We started out talking about name calling and specifically the haters who called Obama a terrorist, a muslimi and an arab - all of which were refuted by McCain. You then said that supporters of Obama have done the same.
I asked for proof and now you're talking above Acorn and socialism and providing as proof some article posted on a right-wing site and challenged on that very site by one of its readers.
This is surreal...
