For OpEdNews: Jay Diamond - Writer

Dear Bob,

It is not a surprise to me that you are presently the focus of the well deserved indignation of so many Americans to whom your bastardization of recent tragic history represents a crime not only against the truth, but against the country itself.

The reason it is not a surprise is that anyone who has listened to the ten years of low-brow and ugly talk radio swill for which you have been personally responsible would have expected nothing else from you.

The problem is that Americans of at least normal intelligence do not tend to be among your talk radio listeners.

They are however, represented in your far more lucrative television audience, and they have now become painfully (and significantly) aware of how disrespectful you have been to the ideals championed by, and paid for with, the lives of so many valiant Americans over our noble history.

Let me help you understand their state of inflammation:

They detest you because they now know that you think those boys raising the flag at Iowa Jima, and those doomed heroes of Normandy Beach (many as young as 18 years old!), expended their lives so that you could sell commercials for penis pills to credulous listeners of the documented liars who infest your company's broadcasts.

They are now onto your ugly scam: Making tons of money by selling access to the uncritical ears of the specifically targeted morons who tune into your flatulent right-wing liars. The theory being that if these individuals are sufficiently dumb to take your radio goons seriously, then they are also malleable enough to spend money on the crap your low-rent advertisers put in front of them as well.

Lucky for you you just unloaded the radio baggage.

Good luck with the TV, now that millions of aware Americans know what you've been doing to them, and to the country they love.
