Talk show host kills wife with anti-freeze
I saw this story on MSNBC Abraham's Report, and found the link to WAPO here:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/07/AR2005110700900.html

Two things stand out

1) His haircut in the photo in the WaPO article, it is just crying out "Wingunt";

2) His show on KLIK 1240 AM in Jefferson City, Missouri was titled PARTY LINE with a Paul Harvey lead in/out, has O'reily and a few other small potatoes financial commentators around him on the station, and is owned by Cumulus, which covers mid and small markets in the red states.

This comment by the station manager is priceless;

"It's devastating for us," said Scott Boltz, market manager for Cumulus Media Inc., which owns KLIK. "It was just devastating for our staffers and the community at large. He showed up for work every day. He worked hard."

From the WaPo

"Keown, a Missouri radio talk show host, was arrested Monday in Jefferson City, Mo., in connection with the poisoning death of his wife Julie Keown of Waltham, Mass. in September 2004. Keown was arrested Monday on a murder charge for allegedly poisoning his wife by spiking her Gatorade with a chemical found in antifreeze."


What a scumbag.

2. Not surprised he's a Repuke, afterall
Most Repukes most definately display psychotic tendencies. Also MANY serial killers have been registered Repukes.

Deeply twisted bastards the lot of them.

4. I think what's funny is that he distinguished himself
by showing up for work. What a way to be remembered, except that he (allegedly, let's remember that word) killed his wife.

8. Actually, NO I'm NOT fucking kidding you
Look at how the House Repukes act...PSYCHOTIC. Look at how the Senate Repukes act...PSYCHOTIC. Look at how Junior acts...PSYCHOTIC.

These are NOT normal people.

They have DEEP psychological problems, and MANY of them have MANY of the standard personality traits that psychologists tell us that serial killers have.

You mightn't LIKE this, but I'm sorry to have to tell you, it's true.

10. I thought your comment extreme...
...and upon further review, you may be onto something. Certainly the cult of Bush followers who KNOW we were lied into war etc. are either in some weird mesmerized denial OR sociopathically don't care because they won't admit they were wrong even though it is causing death and misery.

12. Exactly
Edited on Tue Nov-08-05 07:07 AM by ...of J.Temperance
I fully agree with your comments here. I think it's a combination, it's the Personality Cult weirdly mesmerized coupled with a sociopathic condoning of sadistic and psychotic practices.

These "people" not only seem to CONDONE inhuman practices against fellow human beings, but they also seem to ENJOY and GET OFF when reading of or hearing of these inhuman practices. This to me IS displaying psychotic tendencies.

Sociopaths and psychopaths are infamous for not having any empathy for their fellow human beings. There's NO line drawn with these "people", the end justifies the means and ANYTHING is condoned, no matter how degrading and sadistic it might be.

Bush Inc. and their fanatical followers are DEEPLY psychologically twisted individuals.

And the poster before should note, I said MOST Repukes display psychotic tendencies, I didn't say ALL Repukes display psychotic tendencies.

On Edit: It's also established fact, that MANY serial killers have been registered Repukes or admitted Repukes...I actually cannot think of ONE serial killer that has been a registered Democrat or an admitted Democrat.

22. You didn't specify Republican POLITICIANS
You only said Republicans, which would include plenty of the loved ones of people on this board like my MOTHER. You insulted my mother by falsely claiming she has psychotic tendencies, and I should not have to explain how fucking PISSED OFF that makes me.

If you can't see how there is utterly no hope whatsoever for the Democratic party if Dems start flinging about this disgusting bigotted FALSE filth directed toward Jane/John Doe Republican, then we fucking deserve to lose, and we would be no damn different then the bigotted liars on the right.

Read your statement again...

"Most Repukes most definately display psychotic tendencies."

Now say that to the next Republican you want to convince to switch sides and see if they even listen to one damn word you say to them.

Read it again...

"Most Repukes most definately display psychotic tendencies."

And tell me how Rush Limpballs could not point to this quote as an example of how batshit crazy we are. If he did, for the very first time in that smarmy gasbag's life I'd actually agree with him because that statement IS batshit crazy.

23. Don't be so thin-skinned
Edited on Tue Nov-08-05 08:32 AM by ...of J.Temperance
I've got friends who are Republican's, I don't consider them to have psychotic tendencies and they DON'T have psychotic tendencies.

On Edit: I should give a few examples here. Whilst I don't think my Republican friends are psychotic, I do think they HAVE mental problems. There's one, we had this conversation and I said: "Anybody can become President now, even liars can" to which they responded: "Yeah, you can have a couple of affairs and lie about them and then become President" In my comments about liars, I was talking about JUNIOR being a liar...in their response they were talking about President Clinton.

Another friend ACTUALLY stopped buying Heinz Ketchup and ANY Heinz product, because of Senator Kerry's wife being Teresa Heinz.

Another friend has a son who's very sick, and he was telling me about the trouble he'd been having getting more assistance for his son. I said: "Yeah well, this is why you need to be voting Democratic, because our people would be helping your son out more", he said: "I love Bush, I wouldn't vote for Kerry after all his lies" and I said: "What lies has Kerry told? Bush is the liar" and he said: "The Vietnam lies" and I said: "No, it's Bush's people who are sending the Swift Boat people out to lie about Kerry, Kerry's been telling the TRUTH" and he said: "I'm still voting for Bush"...he did say that if Senator Edwards were the nominee, then he would vote or would have voted for Edwards, but not Kerry.

Another one told me that: "What's happened in New Orleans, God has done this, he's punished them because of the way they've always lived down there."

So, you see, these people aren't psychotic, but they definately in my opinion have some sort of mental problem...if they don't, why the hell do they think like they do? They're STILL my friends, have been for years, but because they're my friends doesn't mean that I don't think they're fucked up in their thinking.

I didn't insult your Mother, I've never even your Mother.

On Edit: I would have to say that MORE THAN HALF of the Junior supporters must have psychological problems. If they HAVEN'T, then why the hell do they STILL support the now obvious Fascist agenda and all the insanity that comes with it? Why don't they at least become Independent or stay at home and not VOTE Republican at elections until the Bush bastard and his nutjobs are OUT of office?

This isn't Nelson Rockefeller's GOP you know. This is Tom Delay's GOP.

34. Why does this need to be explained?
Because they haven't been paying attention. Because we have a Bush ass kissing media that's full of shit. Because they don't even know WHY they vote Republican. Because they don't know politics, don't understand politics and don't get involved with politics until it's time to vote. Because they've been indoctrinated since birth that America is full of freedom and greatness and don't understand why it could ever be otherwise. Because they don't even know whether or not America is actually full of freedom and greatness or not. Because they don't understand economics or foreign policy and don't know what the Constitution says much less what it means. Because they are IGNORANT.

And obviously the Republicans YOU know don't have psychotic tendencies, it's just most of the ones OTHER PEOPLE know... I see. That's very much like claiming that most gays have psychotic tendencies except for the ones that YOU know... or Jews, or African Americans, or women, or foreigners, or baseball players, or dog owners... are you getting it yet?

And who said anything about Bush supporters? PLENTY of Republicans aren't Bush supporters... most of the Republicans I know aren't at this point. No one should claim that because I'm a Dem I'd be a Zell Miller supporter just because I'm a Dem anymore than anyone should claim that because they're a Repub they would support Bush just because they're a Repub.

As this discussion progresses, we find that your original statement of "Most Repukes most definately display psychotic tendencies" really means "Most Repuke politicians who support Bush most definitely display psychotic tendencies" which is FAR CRY from your original statement. As much as I reposted your original statement I would have expected that at some point you would have actually read it and ascertained it's actual meaning.

Oh, and if I was thin-skinned I wouldn't still be in this discussion, or does "thin-skinned" have some sort of alternate universe meaning for you? I thought I should ask seeing as how it seems clear that what you actually say and what you evidently really mean to say are two entirely different things.

37. Generalize, insult and broad brush much?
For in my eyes as a left leaning Green, more than half of the Democrats must have psychological problems, for they keep on trying the same shit over and over, yet expect a different result each and every time.

This is, after all, the two party/same corporate master system of government that we're living under, and by continuing to vote these people into power, you are giving tacit consent for them to do those things which I and many of liberals consider most abhorent. Yet you folks continue to vote against your personal self interests every single time.

Perhaps you need to reconsider what you are smearing around friend before it gets smeared right back on you. Such over the top generalizations and broad brush strokes are not the hallmarks of an intelligent, informed, caring individual.

42. Huh?
How exactly do I continue to vote against my personal self-interests every time?

By supporting 100% the Democratic Party = me being AGAINST my own personal self-interests. 'Um...O..K..A..Y.

Still, at least I'm in the company of TENS OF MILLIONS, 50 million plus people who also obviously vote against their own personal self-interests.

46. Yes, you are being deluded friend
Democratic party is supported by corporate America. Republican party is supported by the same. Both parties payback their corporate masters with choice pro corporate legislation, ie '96 Telecom Act, NAFTA, all these and more have been passed by a Democratic administration. In addition, we have watched as Democrat after Democrat have signed off on such atrocities as the IWR, the Patriot Act, the bankruptcy bill, the prescription drug bill, etc. etc. ad nauseum.

The American public is being played friend, played like a fiddle. The tune is quite familiar to those who deal with our law enforcement, it is called good cop/bad cop. The Republicans sweep into power and raid the nation openly and blatantly. The Democrats put up token protests, yet when they are in power, they do the same. This has occurred before in our country, during the days of the robber barons, it was known as the Gilded Age. We are now in the Second Gilded Age, where it doesn't matter which party is in power, but more who paid to put them there.

If you don't believe me, then ask yourself why do corporations donate to both political parties, most of the time with equitable amounts. Ask yourself why Democrats in power continue to vote for issues whose only beneficiary is corporate America. Ask yourself why, despite there having been Democrats in charge, our standard of living and our real world wages have consistently declined over the past thirty five year, while the percentage of our nations wealth has been concentrated into an ever shrinking set of people, and why the gap between rich and the rest of us has continued to grown until it reached a record breaking chasm during the Clinton years and beyond.

And then ask yourself whose interests will it serve when the voting public is again given the choice between pro-war candidate Dem and pro-war candidate 'Pug in the '08 elections. Gee, does a pro-war stance seem in YOUR self interests? That's what we got last year, and it certainly looks like that's what will be faced with in '08.

Now do you get the picture?

48. This is called DEMOCRATIC Underground
It's a broad-based forum, that supports the Democratic Party. The members here are by and large Democrats, whether people are on the left-left, the left-of-center or the center-left, doesn't matter one iota.

In the end, we're ALL Democrats, and we ALL support the Democratic Party, which granted is far from perfect, but there you go, nobody's 100% perfect and nothing is 100% perfect.

In ANY election if I'm given a choice of: Republic, Democratic or Green...then EVERY time I'm going to choose Democratic.

You're a Green and I'm a Democrat. You're NOT going to turn me against my party, and I'm NOT going to be able to convince you to support my party.

So that's how it is I think.

50. LOL, too funny friend, and quite telling to boot
Rather than answer my questions honestly and openly, rather than question yourself, the party, and the motivation thereof, you take refuge behind rhetoric and the party line, right or wrong. And we accuse the freepers of being lockstep 'bots. Hey, another similarity.

That's OK friend, some people don't want to see the truth, some people can't handle the truth. But let me warn you, continue with this lockstep thinking, this mindless aquiesence to corporate rule and the truth will come up from behind real quick and bite you on the ass hard. You'll be wide awake then friend, but sadly it might be too late.

51. No, I deliberately made the decision not to respond to your questions
Because I interpreted them as a)an attack on the Democratic Party and b)that according to your comments, you don't seem to think that there's any difference between Democrats and Republics.

If President Al Gore would have been allowed to sit in the Oval Office, to which he was ELECTED to sit in by the majority of the people, would:

We have been lied into a war with Iraq? Would thousands of GIs be dead? Would thousands of GIs be maimed, many for life? Would thousands of Iraqi's and Afghani's be dead? Would the National Debt be pushing $8 trillion? Would he have BLOWN a $2 trillion surplus? Would America's name be HATED around the world? Would Social Security as the nation has known it for decades be SERIOUSLY under threat? Would Medicare and Medicaid as the nation has known it for decades be SERIOUSLY under threat? Would September 11th have JUST been ANOTHER day on the calender? Would we have The Patriot Act? Would we have had an undercover CIA agent named Valerie Plame outed? Would the vulnerable in society be having their food stamps taken off them? Would we have had TRILLIONS of dollars in tax cuts? Would the US Treasury be being robbed blind? Would we be threatening Syria and Iran - two countries like Iraq and Afghanistan that pose NO THREAT whatsoever to the United States? Would we have a government that's constantly thinking of assassinating leaders that don't agree with them ala President Hugo Chavez, who WAS DEMOCRATICALLY elected? Would we be having Extreme Right-Wing reactionaries being stacked on the courts across the nation? Would we have DIEBOLD?

WOULD PRESIDENT GORE HAVE GONE ON FUNDRAISERS, EATEN CAKE, YUKKED IT UP AND STRUMMED A GUITAR WHILST NEW ORLEANS DROWNED AND PEOPLE DIED FROM HUNGER AND THIRST AND 15 FEET OF FLOOD WATER?

Huh? WOULD ANY of the above happened too if Senator John Kerry would have become President?

NO. It should be as plain as the nose on your face, that there ARE differences between Democrats and Republics. I don't give a fuck if the corporations give money to my party, what I DO give a fuck about is that my party GET BACK into the WH and TAKE BACK the Senate and TAKE BACK the House...because my party DO try and do the best that they can and they DO try to help people and bring the nation together and solve problems...that's what I care about and that's why I'm a Democrat and ALWAYS will be.

Elaboration of my original comments. So I hope you've read post #23 and that you've also noted that I wasn't deliberately singling out your Mother, whom I've never met.

Let's not get upset about this okay?

On Edit: I could have gone off on you (like you did on me) for suggesting that I'm batshit crazy, because that's what you actually DID suggest. However I chose not to, because I'd much rather have a sensible and logical discussion and NOT start calling other posters names.

47. Kindly refrain from putting words in my mouth
I did not say YOU were batshit crazy, I said your statement was. Big difference. I don't make personal attacks. For instance, I would never say "Most Repukes most definitely display psychotic tendencies" because that would impugn a LOT of people who are clearly undeserving of such castigation.

NOW do you get it?

As for calling people names... does "Don't be so thin-skinned" ring any bells for you?

You want to discuss this sensibly and logically? The whole reason I've been responding to you was to put some sense and logic in this discussion. Seeing as how although you never explicitly clarified that your original statement meant something other than what you said, and what you meant to say could only be ascertained from later posts of yours in the discussion, clearly you don't even stand by your original statement yourself.

Let's make this simple...

This was your statement:
"Most Repukes most definitely display psychotic tendencies."

This was what became evident you meant to say:
"Most Repuke politicians who support Bush most definitely display psychotic tendencies."

Do you not see what an incredible, enormous, gigantic, colossal difference there is between these two statements?

49. In November 2004
In November 2004, did your Mother vote for Junior? If the answer is yes, in November 2005, does your Mother still support Junior and his agenda?...I swear that I will NOT make a comment about whatever your response might be.

I'm very comfortable stating that in November 2004, my Mother voted for Senator Kerry, and in November 2005, my Mother would again vote for Senator Kerry or any other Democrat.

I've told you in advance who my Mother voted for, so hopefully because I have, this won't upset you all over again. I'm just not into deliberately upsetting people.

39. My dad's a Republican and I wasn't the least bit insulted
He's just ignorant, and can't see the forest for the trees, but he does NOT like Bush, just the initials GOP. He's not part of the Cult. The Cult members are psychotic.

Also, many people who call themselves Republicans (like mys sister) aren't. Their beliefs make them either Dems, Greens, or Libertarians.

41. I'm glad that at least some
People, like you for example are at least able to rationalize this without going off on an over-sensitive rant like some other people here.

I have my own thoughts about when something is mentioned, people go off on over-sensitive rants, why people go on the defensive. There's something encased deep into the subconscious.

I've given quite adequate explanations and elaborations to my original comment, of course I admit my original comment SHOULD have been elaborated on at the time I posted it, but I didn't, however in subsequent posts I HAVE elaborated.

I've also remained polite, even though I've been subject to a round of name calling, actually two rounds of name calling.

I'm aware that there are far more people here who actually agree with what I've posted, than there are people here who disagree with what I've posted.

This response is also in response to your below posting.

1/3 isn't actually "most," except maybe in Republican Bizzarro World where 1% is a "Mandate."

The entire Scanlon Memo OCR'd as plain text. copy, paste, email...


For what it's worth, here is the "Scanlon Memo" as plain text. OK, then cut, paste, and email to every Christian person/group/pac/radio station you can think of.

******

The especially offensive remark that is derogatory to Christians:

Mobilization

We plan to use three forms of communications to mobilize and win these battles. Phones, mail and Christian radio. We believe that if you are on TV you are generally losing battles like this Our mission is to get specifically selected groups of individuals to the polls to speak out AGAINST something.

To that end, your money is best spent finding them and communicating with them on using the modes that they are most likely to respond to. Simply put we want to bring out the wackos to vote against something and make sure the rest of the public lets the whole thing slip past them. The wackos get their information from the Christian right, Christian radio, mail, the internet and telephone trees.

24. Well that certainly cleared that up
Repubs have psychotic tendencies because someone in the Bush admin says so. Well then it just must be true. And it obviously takes into account those Republicans that aren't Christian fundies. :eyes:

Does it even need to be explained that most people who vote Republican are NOT Christian fundies???

27. That post was just one among several converging lines of evidence
There's much more out there about it.

I'm not 100% sold on the idea myself.

But let's debate it in the media for eight weeks and let the public decide.

21. Study suggests conservatism is a mental illness
Study of Bush's Psyche Touches a Nerve

by Julian Borger in Washington
published August 13, 2003 in The Guardian

A study funded by the US government has concluded that conservatism can be explained psychologically as a set of neuroses rooted in "fear and aggression, dogmatism and the intolerance of ambiguity".

As if that was not enough to get Republican blood boiling, the report's four authors linked Hitler, Mussolini, Ronald Reagan and the rightwing talkshow host, Rush Limbaugh, arguing they all suffered from the same affliction.

All of them "preached a return to an idealised past and condoned inequality".

Republicans are demanding to know why the psychologists behind the report, Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition, received $1.2m in public funds for their research from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.

The authors also peer into the psyche of President George Bush, who turns out to be a textbook case. The telltale signs are his preference for moral certainty and frequently expressed dislike of nuance.

38. No, I also agree, if the poster qualifies the statement a bit.
Neocons and radical rightists DO have psychotic tendencies. I absolutely agree with that. They have to, to believe and espouse the stuff they go. I'd even go so far to say that if you have a checklist from the DSM, you could just go checkcheckcheck right down the list.

3. That is exactly why *I* won't drink Gator Aide
Edited on Tue Nov-08-05 06:26 AM by symbolman
I swear it was probably the Gator Aide that killed her, not the antifreeze - I frankly think you could fill your car with that stuff and it would run just fine..

Same old story eh? "He was a Hard Worker. A Scout Leader. Always nice to the Neighbors. Head of the local REPUBLICAN PARTY..and well, sometimes on Sundays, instead of going to church he'd stay home while the missus went and he'd Rape SHEEP.." :)

5. Is he a republican?
(I'm sure he is), but is there news of what bent his politics are? I just posted this story in the true crime forum, as well.

15. Okay, this comment got me.
"It's devastating for us," said Scott Boltz, market manager for Cumulus Media Inc., which owns KLIK. "It was just devastating for our staffers and the community at large."

I daresay it's really devastating for Julie Keown! But when you're a republinazi, it's me, me, me, all the time. No sympathy for the dead lady.

31. That part is the most messed up to me, too.
Edited on Tue Nov-08-05 09:15 AM by BlueIris
To me, it looks mostly like the kind of statement a person worried about "liability" would make, or the kind of statement that would be made by a person who is selfishly and irrationally focused more on the situation a (male) murderer (and employee) is in, than the brutality of the crime that murderer committed, the victim and the victim's family. Also, the nastiness of the whole "he worked hard, that's why it's shock," sends the message that "hard workers" are somehow incapable of any wrongdoing. Even, or especially, this kind of wrong. Got a job? Work hard at it? No way could you be a criminal! Employment and professionality, that's only that matters.

40. Oh give me a break.
I happen to live in the community where this guy was broadcasting, and although I never heard of him because I don't listen to AM radio, it has to be be pretty awful for people to find out that some friendly voice they heard every day on the radio turns out to be a murderer. If you found out a co-worker had murdered his wife, I'm pretty sure you'd be upset too. So let's please not call somebody a "republinazi" merely because you failed to hear him express sympathy for the woman or her family. You don't know what else this guy said that didn't make it into the article, after all. You have no idea AT ALL what the radio station has or hasn't done by way of expressing condolences to her family.

I'm really getting sick of the way so many people here attribute such evil intentions to people based on such absurdly flimsy evidence, or no evidence at all. This kind of bullshit is what I expect from the other side.

17. " He worked hard." Sounds like Laura * better watch out for the Kool-Aid !
"Its hard work": *

What a scumbag is right. Not to mention a flat-out coward!

Hope he enjoys all those long days and nights on his hands and
knees in prison.

A yuppie-white boy like this chump wont last long in the joint.

So much for Repuglycan family values!

20. Here's his blog
http://jameskeown.blogspot.com/

It was posted in the other thread, yesterday, by myself and a few other DUers.

It starts in October 2005, so he didn't have it for very long.

However, there are a few odd things. He talks about a friend in St. Louis named Julie (obviously not his wife, another Julie) but doesn't even mention his wife at all, even though she had the same name. I dunno, it could be that he didn't want to bring it up, since apparently this was a blog for his listeners to read as well.

But it just seems strange.

32. Sorry, so hard to post without duplicating
Just when you thing you've found something of interest, boom, slag heap at the speed of light. At least we're still interested in talking this (allegedly) deviant scumbag Wingnut.

33. My friend used to work with him!
He would email her at her current place of biz and she would always tell me how creepy he was at her old job. They were all very aware he was being investigated for her death and she seems quite surprised it took this long to arrest him.

45. You're right. I heard the same thing this morning on am radio in K.C.
He was the subject of a lot of disgusted, resigned remarks. The man who was hired by him seemed stunned, having met his pre-murdered wife, who was a nurse, at a work function.

It was a very underhanded, dishonest, cowardly plot to kill her and claim her insurance.

His radio name in Kansas City was J. P. O'Neal.




Rush, Keown, and his late wife.

His website: http://jameskeown.blogspot.com/


He has proven once again that money is indeed more important to materialistic right-wingers than are people and honor.
