When hate radio gets too vitriolic for uber-right wingers to appear on without wearing a hood, then it's time for hate radio hosts to pack it up. And after yesterday's rant by Stan Solomon (of The Talk To Solomon Show LIVE), "conservative" guests (social or otherwise) will likely cancel appearances.
And if they don't, they'll eventually chalk up some huge regrets.
Stan Solomon has been known to be to the right of Bryan Fischer (yes, it is possible), so utterances from his program have been categorized as sheer off-the-wall hate: for Obama, for gays, for blacks, for Jews, for ... well, everyone who is not Stan Solomon. He infamously called Barack Obama a "wussy guy who throws a ball like a girl" and who would probably wear drag if he thought he could get away with it.
Huffington Post:
"Calling Savage a
"f*ggot" and a "horrible, awful, terrible excuse for a human
being," Solomon noted, "I hope he dies -- he probably will -- of
every disease known."
He then added, "By the way, I'm sending him a fire hydrant for his
birthday, I'm hoping he'll sit on it; he'll slide all the way down to the
ground."
It isn't the only eyebrow-raising claim Solomon made during the broadcast. He
also slammed slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin as "a thug that deserves to be
dead."
The Show
Sitting at a desk next to a seemingly inanimate "Chief" Steve Davis
(apparently a sidekick who is also running for Congess), Stan Solomon greets
guest like Phyllis Schlafly, Alan Keyes, and Gordon Kingenschmitt. His
appearance has changed over the years: he now dyes his white hair and has
abandoned the sport coat for a Mr. Rogers sweater. And his rhetoric has now
come far from his website profile:
Stan Solomon is a proud, first generation American. His multi national and
multi racial family is united by their belief in God, country and good. He has
talked to and been heard by millions world wide. He has the experience,
integrity and guts to speak his mind.
What nations, what race, what planet Solomon admits to being "united
with" are mysteries, since he leaves no stone unturned in the hate
department. And "good" means wishing people dead.
He also lists his favorite links, some of which should send a caveat to
conservative guests:
The American Conservative Freedom
Force International GCNLive.com Human Events Online Insight
Magazine Jewish World Review The John
Birch Society LifeSite NewsMax The Sierra Times Townhall.com The Washington Times WorldNetDaily
He has not yet been told that he cannot enter Great Britain, simply because the
"millions world wide" don't seem to have representatives in Great
Britain. Maybe this latest foray into extreme hate will get him a warning
letter from the Queen no less.
Pawns of Satan
Solomon's chief rant, that all things liberal are idiot pawns of Satan, could
smack of Pat Robertson, but even though Robertson has come up with some bizarre
modes of demonization (as we have reported lately), he has rarely ever come
outright to wish the death of anyone.* The "great qualifier" these
days is, in fact, "I don't really hate anyone, I just ..." along with
the ubiquitous "some of my best friends are ..."
At least Solomon is honest.
But honesty like Solomon's has to come with a price: if he wore a white robe
and hood while he ranted, he could not have been more demonstrably hateful, and
conservatives far and wide are trying to steer away from the "hater"
sobriquet.
So there it is: any future guest on Solomon's program will be inextricably tied
to virulent hatred of just about everyone.
Who will be his next foolhardy guest?
*OK, Hugo Chavez and Ariel Sharon excepted.
