Anonymous Coward User ID: 78130052 United States 11/17/2019 09:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sounds fair to me. Why would a TRUMP crowd want to listen to a critic of their beliefs. I know about Roy Cohn...AND Trump uses his "promotion-public relations" style. Roy Cohn is mentioned in the "GOOD" video that goes with "We Didn't Start the Fire". [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] Roy Cohn [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] In 1984, Cohn was diagnosed with AIDS and attempted to keep his condition secret while receiving experimental drug treatment.[61] He participated in clinical trials of AZT, a drug initially synthesized to treat cancer but later developed as the first anti-HIV agent for AIDS patients. He insisted to his dying day that his disease was liver cancer.[62] He died on August 2, 1986, in Bethesda, Maryland, of complications from AIDS, at the age of 59.[8] According to Roger Stone, Cohn's "absolute goal was to die completely broke and owing millions to the IRS. He succeeded in that."[57] He was buried in Union Field Cemetery in Queens, New York.[9][29][63] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 75925129 United States 11/17/2019 09:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Craig Silverman hosted "The Craig Silverman Show," which aired Saturday mornings on 710 KNUS, a conservative radio station. Denver's Fox 31 reported that Silverman was fired after airing a segment about Roy Cohn, a ruthless attorney who had little to no regard to ethical guidelines in his work and represented the Trump family in the 1970s. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 59350630 The outlet also noted that Silverman's program is no longer listed on the station's website. In replying to a tweet of support, Silverman wrote online Saturday night that he rejects the "Trump party line." "I cannot and will not toe strict Trump party line," Silverman wrote on Twitter. "I call things as I see them. I see corruption and blatant dishonesty by President and his cronies. I also see bullying/smearing of American heroes w/courage to take oath and tell truth. Their bravery inspires me." [link to www.businessinsider.com (secure)] Good, he's a NeoCon, ie a fakeconservative izzyfurster. |

CSnow User ID: 74827762 United States 11/17/2019 09:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What he said on air was clearly not politically correct. Totally normal thing to happen in the Soviet Union or Noth Korea. Not politically correct generally refers to ideas or comments that aren't liberal/leftwing. I'd need to know the specifics of his opinions to determine what exactly was fueling his resentments. I could tell in a fairly short time if he actually were more of a closeted liberal/progressive/leftwinger than he may have wanted to let on. If he does lean left, he shouldn't have been doing a talk show under the guise of his being a supposedly legitimate, authentic conservative/rightwinger. I wouldn't have fired him, but I'd have asked, why the hell don't you come clean about your ideology? . |

He was fired after repeatedly saying he would go on other shows and he couldn't be stopped from going on other shows over and over and over. He was determined to get fired. His new show on a new station is rumored to be announced tomorrow. |

He voted for Trump. In the last few months, he started going hard-core anti-Trump believing every Democrat assertion... Coincidentally perhaps, whether he gets another radio job or not, he recently moved up into the very Big Law League: [link to www.springersteinberg.com (secure)] [link to www.springersteinberg.com (secure)] and they probably do not much approve of one of their new partners publicly defending Trump and he picked a very good way to change that narrative... coincidentally... |

No nevermind ... the great crash is coming, and the base of folks will have the blinders ripped off their faces when they realize their personal financial assets are gone, and Trump and his coterie of criminals and hangers on have been betting against America from the jump. At that point, there will be a run on rope, and a shortage of available lamp posts. Last Edited by Big Duke6 on 11/17/2019 10:02 PM |
