I've mad as hell and I'm fighting back

Today as I was listening to my local Seattle Washington news station while working in my garden, the announcer with a smirk said the following  words.

Today at 9:00 you can listen to Meet the Press with Tim Russert.  His guest will be Barack Hussein Obama.

Who takes note of local radio patter, ... but my jaw dropped and my blood began to boil.

I called  KIRO Listener Call in Line
(877) 710-KIRO (5476)

and then left a few choice emails about the unacceptable intrusion of the anti-Obama media slant on everyday news.

KIRO Radio 710 in  Seattle Washington is not a FOX news outlet.  It is one of those generic middle of the road news and conversation stations that hosts with both the left and right viewpoints.

The offensive statement was made during an otherwise apolitical hour long local news segment.

We need to put the media on notice that taunting Barack Obama with his middle name will provoke swarms of hornets.
No more free pass for smug newsmen who act like Limbaugh wannabees.

No more... enough is enough.
It is time to fight back.
