Radio Troll - Page 3

Comparing what is said in the NY Times article to Nazi policy is pure baseless provocation from the radio troll. His own bio confirms this:

    Martin's controversial program "Andy Martin's America" is a fulcrum of foreign policy debate, political analysis and contemporary commentary on the internet.

    Martin's program draws an international audience and has included foreign diplomats as guests. Martin is the only American radio talk show host who supports Palestinian rights and the Israeli peace movement. He is a respected voice in America's intelligence community. He has traveled through the Middle East. His foreign experience includes Europe, Iran and Asia.

    Martin consults in the areas of military security and intelligence; he studied under the late Bernard Fall and founded the Revolutionary War Research Center.

    Martin served as an assistant to former Illinois U.S. Senator Paul H. Douglas. He has been involved in various aspects of broadcasting for 34 years. He also served as an adjunct professor of law at the City University of New York.

    Martin's radio program "Andy Martin's America" covers national and international matters from 1-2 P.M. Radio call-in (800) 810-9727. Internet radio website 1340wpbr.com (click "on air").

Based upon this press release, I would say Martin's show is a fulcrum for the very worst in shock jock foolishness. I am torn between wanting to flood his show with rational refutation of his nonsense, and hoping that not one soul tunes in. You decide.

This press release can also be found here.

    "He has traveled through the Middle East [I caught a connecting flight in Cairo]. His foreign experience includes Europe, Iran and Asia."

    Hey, I've done that as well. Well, I've actually done more than just travel through it. Does that make me a "respected voice in America's intelligence community"? Granted, I haven't set up any vanity orginazations, but I'm sure I can spin up the Generic Organization Word Generator and spit something out that sounds official and important. I'll even print it on my business cards and include it in my bio.

    I think you have about summed him up, Paul. Anyone can claim about anything if it's vague enough, or if not concerned about getting caught in a lie.
