Ron Reagan Gets Hosed on Talk Radio

February 15, 2011 RSS Feed Print

If Ron Reagan’s book tour to pitch My Father At 100 has taught him one thing, it’s that talk radio probably isn’t his calling, despite being a former host on lefty Air America. “I’m not a yeller. There’s a lot of that going on,” he says, citing an interview with WFLA in Tampa on a show hosted by Jack Harris and Tedd Webb (which also features Whispers on Mondays). “Within one minute of getting me on the air,” recalls Reagan, “Tedd had called me an asshole, threatened to kick my ass, and told me that he, no, hadn’t bought my book and wasn’t going to unless he needed something extra to wipe his ass with.” All true and Webb isn’t backing down, telling us: “Reagan Jr. has gotten away with being insulting to his father’s memory for a while. No big deal. I told him what millions have wanted to tell him for quite some time.”

Ron Reagan is an intelligent person with an excellent ability to analyze a situation. No wonder the clowns like Harris and Webb can't stand him. Thayer can't stand anyone who has more sense and decency than they have--which accounts for anyone with an IQ in the double digits. People like Harris and Webb give right wing politics a worse name than they'd have otherwise. They are disgusting. I wish Ron Reagan were back on the air. He had a classy show which the right wing jerks can't come close to. They show their ignorance especially when they try to make gods of their heroes. Ron Reagan tried to present his father as a human being who sometimes made mistakes. Harris and Webb can't stand that. They show their gross inferiority with every word. They are scum.

The petulant reaction of these so-called adults Harris and Webb reminds me of children when they find out Santa Claus doesn't exist. Yes, it's true Reagan RAISED taxes (a lot) and agreed to give illegal immigrants amnesty and cut-and-ran from Lebanon rather double-down there. He had valid reasons for doing all that, so grow up and get over it.

RR Jr, is a self loathing American who can't make it on his own merit so denigrates his father to try and stay in the limelight.

I should say it is time to man up, but don't think he is capable.
