Tonight while driving I was listening to my local right wing radio Bush cheerleader. At one point a caller phoned in and said he's a Kerry supporter and he'd like to explain why. He said it's because of his plan for energy independence. Then he said the Kerry plan involves a gas tax, anywhere from 50 cents to 1 dollar per gallon, which will discourage consumption and raise revenue for alternative fuels research. The host let this comment go with no challenge, and even played it up by treating it as an outrage that Kerry is proposing such a thing. I was unable to respond because I was told that I was off topic.
I sent a critical email to the host for allowing his callers to spread misinformation without a response. If you have the time please send an email. He's Dom Giordano at 1210 am, in Philly. Email address is: domg@thebigtalker1210.com. And if you live in the Philadelphia are, join the fight against this partisan Drudge-spreading lame-ass. He's on 1210 am from 6 to 9 every weeknight, call-in # is 215-839-1210.
