Propaganda or Mental Defect?

by AltHippo @ 3:41 pm. Filed under propaganda

You be the judge.

Vincent David Jericho, a conservative talk-radio host on Springfield, MO station KSGF, gives his thoughts on foreign policy to mixed reviews:

Although Jericho garnered thunderous applause when describing America as “the greatest country in the world,” he drew fire after suggesting the U.S. is also “morally superior.”

Moderator Bob Ranney had to ask the audience to refrain from catcalling after several other comments from Jericho, including his contention that “Jesus wasn’t some velveteen wuss, he was a man …”

Jericho characterized the current war on terror as a religious war and defended past statements by the president that American soldiers are “Christian crusaders.”

“The Bible isn’t a book of peace,” Jericho said. “Never has been, never will be.”

Doesn’t advocating “religious war” make Jericho a terrorist? And, by giving him material support, doesn’t that make station KSGF a terrorist organization?

It sounds to me like Jericho is practicing just the sort of violence mongering that today’s detainee legislation was designed to fight.
