E-MESS: Praising the Obamas
Posted 12 years ago - Oct 30, 2012
From: WallyI was absolutely disgusted this morning to hear the segment of your show devoted to the “praise” of Michelle Obama on some late night talk show. First, let me remind you that the majority of your listening audience is conservative, who are not voting for Obama. Next, before you praise Michelle, please try to remember what her and husband represent the murder of unborn children and the promotion of homosexual lifestyles, something you as Christians should be against. Also, please think twice before insulting Mitt Romney for not appearing “human” because he does not appear on secular talk shows and answer meaningless questions about sports and other nonsense. These shows do not make people look more human, they distract from what is important and it appears you have bought into that. People listen to your show and look for guidance on some issues. Telling them that the Obamas are great people and de-humanizing Mitt Romney is something I thought I would never hear on your station. I will not be listening to your show any longer. Why don’t you call Michelle and maybe she will come on for an interview and you can tell her for yourself how great she is. Thank YouI really thought you were kidding at first but I don't think you are. I make far more jokes about the Obama's than I do praise them. I actually voted for Mitt Romney so I am a conservative republican. I am sorry if you do not agree with my assessment of candidates or their wives on late night TV. It is no secret that Mitt's people actually have tried to make him seem more human and connected with the common man. It was a perception that he had. Like it or not perception is reality for people. We actually talked about him appearing more statesman like for not going on them but I fear by that time you were already blinded by your hatred of the Obama's and us for talking about them that you missed that. No one was dissing Mitt and again we are all voting for him. I can never win I get called conservative by liberals and liberal by conservatives because I will tease each side or praise them when they do well. I think if you concede certain things like someone coming across well on a talk show, even to an opponent, it gives you more credibility when you take them apart for something that matters more. That is just my take and if you feel the need to no longer listen, I get that. I will say I wish you had not gone to the nuclear option of not listening before having a conversation but I can tell you are very passionate. Later
Wally: I appreciate your response. I have never been blinded by my hatred for the Obama’s. It just seems to me that every time I turn on the TV or radio all I hear is praise for these guys in the mainstream media. However, I hear that Mitt is a monster that allows people to die from cancer and wants to deprive women of medical services. It just appeared to me that all of you were lifting Michelle up and praising her for answering softball questions from a light night comedian. I guess I am just too sensitive. I do appreciate your humor and hope and pray that you never lose that quality. I apologize for my knee-jerk reaction. Of course I will still listen and wish you and your staff all the best. I will try to control my reaction in the future and learn to take things cum grano salis. God Bless
