McMurtry vs. Dutko

Bob and Grady need to get their stories straight. On Thursday, when talking to a rightfully beligerant caller, Grady repeated the old Young Earth Creationist canard:

"Carbon dating doesn't work. None of the radiometric processes work."

Less than three minutes later, Bob tries to convince the same caller that dinosaurs and humans living together. In doing so, he gives out this evidence:

I bet you have no idea that the evolutionists' own carbon dating has been done on dinosaur bones and according to their own dating, only dates dinosaur bones to be in the thousands of years."

So which is it? Does carbon dating work or doesn't it? Oh wait, let me guess. Carbon dating is accurate and reliable when it can be used to show a 6000 year old Earth but it is inaccurate and unreliable when it can be used to show a 4.5 billion year old Earth. Got it.

Morons.

Grady McMurtry

Whoohoo! Thursday was Grady McMurtry day on the show! You know what that means: pure, unfiltered idiocy!

Just listen to Grady pontificate to a caller who wanted tips on how to debate the sensible people in his life who can comprehend the science of evolution...
Boomp3.com

The last question I asked myself before I actually became a Creationist was, "could the Law of Gravity ever evolve?" ... Could that law, which is a law of science, and therefore immutable -- gravity exists everywhere in the Universe, it acts the same way everywhere -- could it have evolved from something less to be what it is? And the answer is no, it had to come into existence whole and complete. If it came into existence whole and complete it had to be created. The same thing is true -- the Laws of Thermodynamics, the laws of genetics, the laws of motion -- all scientific laws had to come into existence whole and complete and could not have evolved from anything less. Therefore, they all had to be created.

The stupid is extraordinary! Grady is actually trying to analogize various laws of nature to the biological evolution of the various species on Earth. This makes absolutely no sense. Biological evolution refers to "the cumulative changes that occur in a population over time. These changes are produced at the genetic level as organisms' genes mutate and/or recombine in different ways during reproduction and are passed on to future generations."

Read this very carefully and very slowly: Evolution has NOTHING to do with the origin of the universe or how scientific laws came into existence. The scientific Theory of Evolution is not even SLIGHTLY interested in these concerns. Evolution is all about BIOLOGY and how the various species came to be via the process of NATURAL SELECTION.

To put it simply, Grady wants you to think that human beings were created "whole and complete" by God. But the fact of the matter is that human beings are not natural laws and therefore his analogy is completely nonsensical.

Bob Dutko: Ignorant of History!

Bobbo,

Do you hold anything higher than a high school diploma? Because for a guy who claims to have an IQ of 160, you are amazingly ignorant.

You did your pre-packaged spiel about how America has a Christian heritage, and I'm stunned at how little you actually know about history. So let's play a little game. Let's assume for the moment that you are correct and America's heritage is of pure Bible-believing Christians just like yourself. Now answer me these questions:

• Were Christians responsible for chattel slavery that treated Africans as property?

• Were Christians responsible for the wholesale slaughter and subjugation of Native Americans?

• Did Christians ever form radial groups to promote racial intolerance?
  

The answer is "Yes" on all three counts, Bobbo. Christians were more than happy to participate in slavery:

Slavery in the United States, by the European Christians, in the name of Christianity, was the development of the worst form of slavery in world history; "chattel slavery." In other words, Afrikans were not considered human but property or animals, with absolutely no type of human rights at all. This was justified through the misinterpretation of Bible stories, particularly about Afrikan people being cursed and turned black.

Christians also justified their treatment of native Americans as a way of promoting Christianity:

Immediately upon hearing of Columbus' "discoveries," King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain dispatched the news to Pope Alexander VI (a notable reprobate), who issued a Bull, Inter Caetera...[giving] the new territories to the Spanish king and queen, with the sole condition that no other Christian monarchs had previously held such a dominion. For anyone who might happen to oppose this authorization, Alexander stated: "Should anyone presume to do so, be it known to him that he will incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the blessed apostles Peter and Paul."

The slaughter of Native Americans that then commenced was chronicled by Father Bartholomé de las Casas, in his Destruction of the Indies, and other works. Entire peoples were exterminated;

And finally, Christians formed the KKK:

The largest Christian Identity movement has traditionally been the Ku Klux Klan which was reorganized in 1915 by William Simmons, a Christian pastor. He had been inspired by the film The Birth of a Nation which portrayed the KKK as a champion of white civilization. The KKK slid into obscurity by the second World War, but was revitalized in the mid 1950's as a reaction to enforced racial integration in the southern US.

So, Bobbo, if your so damned insistent that America has a Christian heritage, why don't you educate your listeners to the whole truth?

I'll venture a guess: You're a hypocrite and a liar.

Bob is an Ignorant Scumbag

Bobbo,

Do you believe your own bullshit?

Today you spent time blaming liberals for the mean and evil things Randi Rhodes says on her radio show. This is what Rhodes said:

She’s the woman who shows up at the kid’s birthday party and starts opining about everything from politics to lawn care. This is the woman that knows it all. Will shout you down, will get revenge on you. That’s who she is.

She's friends with all the teenage boys. You have to say no when your kids say, 'can we sleep over at the Palin’s? No! NO!'

From this, you magically know that Rhodes is calling Palin a pedophile.

Beyond your statement being downright ignorant, I have a question for you: Why don't you ever spend time policing right wing radio?

You want to excoriate liberals for being “guilty of the things they accuse Conservative of being,” while failing to point out the log in your own eye.

Here's a recent statement from Michael Savage:

Cops are getting knocked off all over the country because of the rules of engagement, written primarily by the scummiest class in America, the vermin of vermin, which are the left-wing lawyers who should be put in Abu Ghraib with hoods over their head, as far as I'm concerned."

Here's a gem from Neal Boortz:

For instance, or for goodness sakes, jump in and I'm gonna say -- I'm gonna start out with something controversial. I saw Cynthia McKinney's new hair-do...[s]he looks like a ghetto slut.

And here's a goody from Glen Beck:

OK, so anyway, I was talking about ugly people. Ugly people, if you're a guy, you can get past it. I don't think you can as an ugly woman. I don't -- no, I don't. If you're an ugly woman, I apologize. Oh, you've got a double cross, because if you're an ugly woman, you're probably a progressive as well.

So Bobbo, why do you never call out right-wingers for hate speech? Maybe because you worship in the temple of Republicans and only care about vilifying people to win elections.

You're no Christian, Bob. You're a fucking coward and hypocrite.

Sarah Palin

Today, Bob spent the vast majority of the day attacking "the liberal media" for talking about the pregnancy of Sarah Palin's unmarried, 17-year old daughter. Bob threw around words like "despicable" and "sleazy" to describe the media. I would estimate that Bob devote about 3 hours of his 4 hour program to talking about how horrible the media is for talking about Gov. Palin's daughter's behavior that is clearly sinful in the eyes of God.

I actually agree with Bob in this regard. The fact that Bristol Palin can't keep her panties on until after she's married is frankly none of my business. I could care less what she does with her vagina and uterus.

But, of course, this outrage at the "media" is simply a smokescreen to divert your attention from the real issues surrounding Gov. Palin. Here's just a sample:

• Palin is under investigation for firing of public safety commissioner Walter Monegan. Monegan maintains that he was let go for refusing to fire her ex-brother-in-law, a State Trooper.
• While Palin was mayor of tiny Wasilla, Alaska, she racked up a debt of over $20 million. That's about $3,000 per resident. (So much for fiscal conservatism!)
  
• As mayor of Wasilla, Palin asked all managers of the city to resign as a "test their loyalty". No kidding!

But I think the most damning charge against her revolves around her ties with the Alaska Independence Party. The AIP's primary goal is to secede Alaska from the United States. Her husbaned was a member of the party and Palin herself delivered a videotaped speech to the party just six months ago! Bob says its alright to question Barack Obama's patriotism because he doesn't wear a U.S. flag lapel pin. I have to assume that her involvement with the AIP makes it OK to question Sarah Palin's patriotism!

Hey, Bob: Barack Obama himself says to lay off Sarah Palin's family. Why don't you stop talking about it as well and take some time to look at the real ethical problems with this candidate?
