KSFO's "gentleman" Rodgers lashes out at Media Matters

Summary: On his KSFO radio show, responding to a Media Matters item documenting his comments that "the female leadership of the Democratic Party" consists of "ugly skanks" who "hate" that "Sarah Palin's good-looking," Lee Rodgers stated that "one of the little left-wing websites" "inferred that I had said that these women, prominent women in the liberal movement, are prostitutes. And of course I didn't say any such thing as that because I am a gentleman." Rodgers also said that "left-wing bloggers ... are men in their 30s and 40s who are single and likely to stay that way" and are "[s]till living at home with one or both parents." He added: "And, of course, handwriting analysis has revealed that ... they have to use tweezers to masturbate."

MM: "On his KSFO radio show ..."

"KSFO"?? If "conservative misinformation" is really the problem that MM claims that it is, why are they scrounging local radio stations to come up with content for their site?

KSFO is tied for sixth in its market. Who outside of San Francisco has heard of, or even cares about, Lee Rodgers?

Posted by princeofwheels in reply to shoes89

Apparently he does. And after 23 years he is with the 6th. show in the depth chart. And exactly what does you inane post had to do with what he said?

Posted by shaggles

I don't get why all the right wingers think Palin is so hot.  of course they think Ann Coulter is hot too so I guess that explains it.

Huh?

Posted by Effwit in reply to shaggles

Doesn't it seem like the wingnuts who go on the loudest about how hot Sarah Palin is "doth protest too much."

She is about as hot as Cher or Madonna is.

Or Judy Garland in her day.

Posted by carlileb5935 in reply to Effwit

Someone should ask this Rogers guy just how it is that "ugly" gals can be prostitutes...

See, nothing these guys say even makes sense internally in their own little world of hate. 

More proof that wingnut-ness is a pathological condition. 

Posted by computersaysno in reply to Effwit

Madonna would certainly make a better VP, IMO...

Regarding their masculinity, they have to use tweezers to masturbate...

==================================================

Typical wingnut projection. Go back to your sewer, Rodgers.

I wonder if his 7 listeners know that he's actually Seymour Parrish.

It's confession time...which 5 of you made the hit parade?...inquiring minds want to know.

Care to share what you sent?

"because I want more free publicity. And I promise you -- I promise you I will give you a neverending flow of material....... they don't even know when I'm jerking their chain"

MM has indeed jerked his chain.

Posted by Craig in reply to Governor

"Tweezed" his chain.

Posted by BottleBlonde in reply to tommy

Not all publicity is good publicity. Even if it's free.

So he and you can pretend that his comments getting wider notice is a good thing for him. It's not.

Posted by tommy in reply to BottleBlonde

Sue, You normally don't goad someone into a war or words if you don't think it has some delicious element in it for you.  Why, you are living proof of just how scrumptious it is for you to assail those you despise with your typical verbal nastiness, and you love it.

Posted by Governor in reply to tommy

I think you sat on your stapler again.

Posted by BottleBlonde in reply to tommy

Tommy just can't stop himself from making baseless and false charges when confronted with the truth.

He said "The law of unintended consequences."

Saying that Media Matters was doing what he wanted them to do. Baloney. Free publicity is not good for someone who spouts the crap that this guy does. He wants Media Matters to go away and leave him alone. There is no adverse consequence to Media Matters for covering this, despite Tommy's assertions to the contrary.

And again we see that when Tommy gets stuffed, he lashes out with what he thinks is damaging information (that I'm some kind of banned poster) but is in fact just a sign that he's flailing away at imaginary demons.

Let's see how out of it he is on Friday - he was pretty crazed yesterday!

Instead of taking personal responsibility for your own arrogance and ignorance, so many of you cons will latch onto any excuse to be idiots. It's always, "I'm just joking," or, I'm just jerking your chain.

Republicans are the party of hate, own it. Admit it or continue your spineless ways. 

"because I want more free publicity. And I promise you -- I promise you I will give you a neverending flow of material....... they don't even know when I'm jerking their chain"

"The law of unintended consequences."

That's about as logically sound as McCain justifying has sleazy attacks on Obama because Barack wouldn't do the town hall meetings. You might as well tell us you beat your wife because you love her so much.

Tweezers? Is this a Junior High Radio Show? 

MM - Maybe you should consider posting your web stats - ya know since you are a "little" website.

Posted by Chromium in reply to RobertSeattle

Media Matters has less than 0.006% of Internet traffic.  Your call....

Posted by eweston8542983 in reply to Chromium

Damn, I thought it was at least 0.007%.

Posted by m_mccain2016 in reply to eweston8542983

Not enough porn to generate .007% ;)

In connection with SHOES post above...why should this jerk care about MM if it is not read??????

My, he sure can dish it out, but he can't take it, can he?

RODGERS: But you lefties who monitor this program to torture yourselves -- let's see. I've only been doing this here in San Francisco for what now, 20 -- I think this is year 23, and they've been vowing they were going to get me fired every one of those 23 years.

Poor little victimized Lee, I guess you feel there are NO circumstances for denigration speech. Keep pitching baby, and make sure your sponsors don't find out. You never know who makes the decisions there.

Who is Lee Rodgers...? Another blip on the right wing radio dial trying to get attention by saying outrageous things. Okay, Lee, you got our attention. Yaaaawn...  ;>)

Posted by MidnightWriter

From the looks of this guy I'd say he knows a thing or two about masturbation.

Posted by Limit Corp. Ownership in reply to MidnightWriter

Mr. Rodgers:  Please shut your mouth.

People know you're a moron.

Why further embarrass yourself?

Posted by carlileb5935 in reply to MidnightWriter

From the looks of this guy I'd say he knows a thing or two about masturbation.

And tweezers, too-- those little fancy stamp collecting kind.

Finally, MMFA actually reports something that actually represents part of it's mission statement.

There is no need on either side to demean any other groups of people, just because those people hold different political views.  

Posted by Col. Harlan Sanders in reply to anotheramerican

Finally, AnutterAmerican understands an MMFA item without having it explained repeatedly.

Unfortunately, ruins "high water mark" by signing off with painfully obvious childlike  platitude.

Posted by BottleBlonde in reply to anotheramerican

I have never seen a posting in 9 months that doesn't fit their Mission Statement.

Conservative information that furthers the conservative agenda, i.e. making a conservative look better than what he deserves to look like, or a liberal who looks worse than he deserves to look.

Posted by MayberryDrunk

This is a small post site.  Just a few of the same posters every day.  It has been getting busier here lately; however, most of those are just drive-bys.  You can hardly take this guy seriously.  He's funny.  He admits what he's doing.  Someone said he only had 7 listeners.  Wish I was in that area, he'd have eight.

Last night (9-17) I email Lee Rodgers to complain about the comment he made that, "the female leadership of the Democratic Party" consists of "ugly skanks" who "hate" that "Sarah Palin's good-looking". Following is the exchange I had with Lee Rodgers.

Me:

Dear Mr. Rodgers,

You're too angry to be thought of as your "namesake"! To say that "Female

leadership of the Democratic Party" consists of "ugly skanks" who "hate"

that "Sarah Palin's good-looking" is ignorant and demonstrates that

Republicans have nothing to say about the real issues! Palin might be "good

looking" to some but she's a "Bush-like lightweight" to anyone who has half

a brain! And, what does that make you? A fool preaching to his choir who

can't see beyond God, guns and gays, and their racism! People in your choir

would be willing to lose their homes and jobs for the propaganda you and

those like you dish out on a daily basis! I would call it Fundamentalist

Evangelical Christianity gone mad! And, if your "choir" ever comes to it's

senses, you, sir, will be out of a job. So, you obviously have a vested

interest in doing your hate stuff!

Response from Lee Rodgers:

"If I want your opinion, moron, I'll GIVE it to you."

Me:

Exactly what I expected from an ape brained fool! Oh my, I've just insulted an "ape" who clearly has "evolved" far beyond your intellectual ability! Oh my, I mentioned that evil word ("EVOLVED" FROM THE WORD "EVOLUTION") that you "creationists" hate so much! Let's see now, you guys believe that the world is 7,000 years old and that "today's humans" roamed the earth along with "dinosaurs" and "Chevys"! Is that right? So, if you say it's right, what do we do with Biology, Botany, Microbiology, etc. that all involve the study of the "Theory of Evolution" and the study of "Natural Selection"? I'm sorry, this stuff is way beyond your level of expertise? Have a nice evening jerk!

I may have been too tough on Lee but, from my perspective, he deserved it! I wonder if my tirade prompted Lee to dump on Media Matters?

MMFA - Why waste your time and ours on such scumbags? What we really need is debunking the mainstream, those that really matter. This dude is just providing soothing KoolAid for his very small constituent base. Not worthy of your time and effort.

Posted by roundhouse in reply to mk3872

Where do you think the corporate media gets their material? Guys like this say something stupid, the next con dj picks it up pretties it up a little, then the next and the next. Next thing you know some dork on fox is saying that some people say that liberal women are bitter because they're ugly.
