Liberal Radio Hate: 'Someone Should Feed [Bachmann] Some Listeria-Filled Canteloupe'

Brian Maloney at the Radio Equalizer blog caught another jaw-dropper on the Stephanie Miller radio show. On the October 7 morning show, Jim Ward, Miller’s Rich Little-ish sidekick and cartoon “voice actor,” wished someone would feed Michele Bachmann “some listeria-filled canteloupe.” That's wishing-someone-dead talk. The current listeria death toll is 23.

After a clip of Michele Bachmann insisting that less regulations would mean that employers like she and her husband could create more jobs, Miller chimed in:

STEPHANIE MILLER: He [Marcus Bachmann] could hire a lot more de-gayers at his de-gaying clinic. [Some movie clip is played]

JIM WARD: Someone should feed her (Michele Bachmann) some listeria-filled cantaloupe.

CHRIS LAVOIE, MILLER PRODUCER: Jim!? [Buzzer sound effect]

WARD, protesting: She [Michele Bachmann] doesn’t want food regulations, food safety or any kind of regulations of any kind!

MILLER, in mocking official tone: Jim Ward meant that in a theoretical sense and the Stephanie Miller show wishes to...

LAVOIE: Distance itself from that comment.

MILLER: Distance itself...

WARD: Put your money where your mouth is!

MILLER: Wishes to distance itself from Jim Ward in general. (Staff laughs)    

WARD: Put your money where your listeria-filled mouth is if you don't want food safety!

Maloney also highlighted that classy Miller joking that Chris Christie’s so fat his penis might be flat. Actress Edie McClurg (the secretary in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off), a Miller regular, had brought in some array of percussive musical instruments Miller described as “phallic.” She then added:

MILLER: Well yes, if someone sat on it. That’s how Chris Christie’s looks. Oh come on I don’t know that for sure! If you had a lot of weight on it, it would be flat.

LAVOIE: You can’t sit on your own thing!

MILLER: He [Gov. Christie] probably hasn’t seen his [penis] in years, how would he know?

If Bachmann were president...

...these idiots would be paid a visit by the FBI. Which, if you think about it, would probably double their audience.

Liberals make death threats when their ideology gets refuted.

Wishing listeriosis on somebody? Is THIS the new civility?

Submitted by drsamherman on Fri, 10/14/2011 - 3:58pm.

Keep it classy, Jim Ward. Sounds like you have some issues that your therapist might find interesting and billable.

the new civility only applies

the new civility only applies to the Right, because liberals are always civil no matter what they say, didn't you know that? /sarc/

Would that be organic?

"Someone should feed her (Michele Bachmann) some listeria-filled cantaloupe."

Would that be organic produce? Recent trends in food born illnesses would indicate that to be a big, resounding YES!

Rush Had It Right...

Submitted by packman on Fri, 10/14/2011 - 4:20pm.

Rush Limbaugh said this a few years ago...and he had it right on..."the Democratic Party (aka 'liberals') is the party of death." Not only do they embrace death but they wish death upon those who dare to hold a differing opinion.

Submitted by ProudAmerican58 on Fri, 10/14/2011 - 5:16pm.

I knew it had to be something that was said by Stephanie Miller. Her level of mean-spiritedness is surpassed only by her intellectual shallowness...which is the only thing "deep" about her.

That's just my opinion; I could be wrong. -- Dennis Miller

These loons

Submitted by gfrrman on Sat, 10/15/2011 - 12:49am.

are so pathetic. Close your eyes and listen to this claptrap and you'd swear you were in the hallway of middle school. Listening to "cool cliques" hatin' on others that are different. These insignificant myrmidons are still in the freakin hallway. So juvenile, and our POTUS and his minions/party are likewise.

In the netherworld of make-believe, if these leftists were successful, who would buy ads for their little "shows?"

 

The so-called mainstream media is the propaganda arm of the criminal DNC.
