Tripped Somebody’s Trigger

This morning, my news guy was talking about Michelle Obama’s trip to Wisconsin. I asked him, rhetorically, “Is she going to tell everybody how she hates America?” Whoa boy. My VP/GM had a complaint call as soon as he walked in the door.
The listener, who says he listens every morning in his basement when he’s polishing his guns (no lie), exclaimed, “you guys are a bunch of right-wing radicals. I don’t know who that Fuzz guy is, but he doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about. I am going to go to all of your advertisers and tell them that Fuzz is a right-wing radical and that they shouldn’t advertise with you anymore.”
My GM’s response: “when you read a left-leaning editorial in the newspaper, do you drive around telling all of the newspaper’s advertisers to stop advertising?”
The complainer said, “Well, I live in the town of West Bend, and I don’t get to drive around that much.”
Priceless.

At least you don’t have complainers showing up on your doorstep…yet. That’s friggin’ creepy.

Welcome to a democracy! Why is freedom of speech (and opinion) only ok when it’s your own! I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it. -Voltaire

@ Wendy - that was Pat that came to your doorstep, right? Or was it Panzer? I forgot.
And look at Ericka getting all Voltaire-ish on us.
