mc_sitegrab.jpgA funny thing happens when you email a national radio show and call out the host of that show for deliberately linking Barack Obama and his pastor Reverend Wright.

They talk about you on the air for 15 minutes and publicize you like crazy. And, they post your email and blog info on their website for everyone to check out.

Earlier this morning, I emailed Mike Church, host of the Mike Church Show, on Sirius satellite radio, channel 144. I emailed him to let him know that I did not appreciate him continuing to link Barack Obama to the recent comments and sermon messages of his former pastor Reverend Jeremiah Wright. I also emailed him to call him exactly what he is……..a racist conservative.

Here is my email to Mike Church:

Mike,

You sound a little frustrated because Rev. Wright has called you (the racist, white neo-conservative) out on your rhetoric, divisive tactics, and general banter.

I find it odd that you would continue to associate Obama with the words of the Reverend, after Obama has repeatedly denounced those statements in public on numerous occasions. Rev. Wright is also no longer the pastor at that church and has been removed.

Clearly you are grasping at straws here in order to portray negative attention on Obama, but clearly that is not going to work. You are the typical neo-conservative that always wants to keep this country divided by race, gender, and wealth status. I have come to expect nothing less from your side and I know that the views of both you and your party will never change. You can continue to be a racist talk show host all you want, but maybe you can take some notes from Andrew Wilkow about properly having a political discussion on talk radio.

Andrew is one of the few people on your side that actually gets it and can actually analyze political subjects without resorting to the typical right-wing fear mongering, talking points, and decisive rhetoric. You are a joke and your show is nothing more than comedic entertainment for people on your side that cannot think for themselves.

As you can see, my message to him was clearly my personal opinion and how I feel about him and his show.

About 20 minutes after I emailed him, he began to read my email and call me out live on his show. Clearly, I struck a nerve with Mr. Church, who evidently does not like being called a spade, when in fact he is a spade. He continued to read my email on the air, all the while trying to explain and defend himself against the remarks that I have made to him. He continued this for roughly 15 minutes or so, calling me by name and calling out my web address.

Also, Mr. Church (or his staff I should say) did me the honor of posting my message on his website, along with my blog logo and link back to my blog. I am not exactly sure what Mr. Church thought that was going to accomplish, but I do appreciate him doing that for me.

The point of the email was to simply let Mike Church know my feelings towards him and his show, nothing more. Many people will most likely not agree with my opinion, which is fine, but I call it like I see it (or hear it).

He repeatedly played the audio clips of Reverend Wright this morning, while slamming Barack Obama in between each one and trying to link Obama to these statements as though Obama was in total agreement with the statements. This is simply not true, as Obama has publicly stated on numerous occasions that he denounces the statements of the pastor and the pastor does not speak for Obama. Church also continued to throw in his own little racial nuances between clips.

So anyway, I emailed him about it and he evidently got a little agitated. It’s funny how that happens sometimes. I am not sure if this just a case of “the truth hurts” mentality, or if he just really didn’t have any more rhetoric to spew, so he choose to waste 15 minutes of his show talking about me and my blog.

Whichever it is, I appreciate it Mr. Church.
