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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mr. Rodgers: Please shut your mouth.
People know you're a moron.
Why further embarrass yourself?

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.

Finally, AnutterAmerican understands an MMFA item without having it explained repeatedly.
Unfortunately, ruins "high water mark" by signing off with painfully obvious childlike platitude.

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.

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?

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.
