Pat,
Your distortion of my remarks on your program this A. M. whish was compounded by your slandering me after you hung up on me when you cast aspersions regarding my mental health would upset me if I believed you actually enjoyed ANY LISTENERS!
FYI, I am not a psycho but you are most certainly a cowardly bully and to repeat your brave words to me,"I've had about a gut full of you!"
 
Pat,
I have known this gentleman 'nutcase', as you prefer to call him, for about 40 years and have yet to know him to stand for anything other than his most profound beliefs. He does not accept money for the enlightenment of 'others' who are not in the know of what political jokesters say and DO. You, sir, have no right to CALL anyone ANY names until you do a little homework of your own overweight and globby body of yours. If you can't take care of yourself...please, leave others to their own betterment. IF you ever decide to change for the better you may even get 2 or 3 listeners, in the future.
I live in Florida and am no longer exposed daily to the innerworkings of incompetents in Arkansas,as I was for about 40 years... hoooooooray for me. Tsk, tsk on you. How do you berate someone who has given freely of his time and thoughts to you in order to shine some form of light on reality.
 
Thanks for brightening an otherwise dull afternoon. Everybody needs a good laugh from time to time.

If any of our readers missed the "live" show, you can hear it in the wairadio.com archives. "The call" was in the 11 o'clock hour today Jan. 31., and "the very very brief "second call" was a bit afternoon. Like I said, everybody needs a little sunshine in every day.

Lynch's boorish behavior was very probably prompted by my questioning his repeated cheerleading of AARP and it's shameful shilling for the grotesque Medicare Drug Plan; especially when AARP makes $millions selling health insurance,is second only to the Catholic Church in American Membership, enjoys over 2 Billion dollars in the bank, receives untold millions of dollars from us taxpayers every year and is the largest lobbying entity in Washington D.C.Look up "hypocrisy" in the dictionary and it'll read AARP!
Incidentally, the primary shill for Arkansas AARP was Lynch's" Best???" Man at both of Lynch's marital endeavors. Roy
