Did anyone hear Bill "The Gambler" Bennett's radio show this morning?
I was making a short drive and heard something really demented on Bill Bennett's radio show today. He had a guest on that was talking about the UN, and Bill responded to him by saying something along the lines of:

"Yeah... remember those old movies, where the sheriff would walk into the saloon, and just start shooting up the bad guys? That's what I'd like to see happen at the UN. Just take 'em all out. Give John Bolton a real job!"

When I heard it, I did a double-take. Did Bill Bennett actually say he wished an assassin would walk in the doors of the UN and kill people? That that was his fantasy? I could hardly believe it, but I'd just heard it with my own ears. I know he's said demented things before, but surely this has got to be right up there with telling your audience that aborting every black baby would make the crime rate go down. I thought I'd hear about it on the blogs, or Media Matters, or the news, or at least DU, but so far I haven't seen a peep about it anywhere.

Just wondering if anyone else was listening today and heard what I heard.

1. If it was on Public Radio you should file a complaint with the FCC
that was a "Terroristic Threat". It's time to start holding this dick and the Coulterdicks accountable for what they are saying....they are inciting people to do these things.....

People complained about Howard Stern and his station was fined repeatedly...it's time to use their tactics against them...

3. back in late 90's i use to like what he had to say about kids education
today i can say the man shows a poor example to the education of our children. what has happened to our people that though our political views may have differed there was a sense of integrity and honor but that this man would throw away all that was good in him to promote an attitude like this. this really is not who the man was not so many years ago. and the same holds true with many of the republican party today, looking at their past. the taint has thoroughly contaminated these people.

dobson "use to" not be what he is today. he is another that i have seen suck a darkening of who he is
