| During yesterday morning's drive to work, New Jersey 101.5 bloviator Jim Gearhart took time off from the station's program of virtually nonstop whining about the smoking ban to whine about something else: the school district elections and budget votes taking place today through New Jersey.
In the course of urging his listeners to shoot down their local school budgets (taxes, you know), Gearhart vended unattributed and unsourced rumors about teachers who strong-armed people to support school budgets by threatening to "mess with" their children. He ended by calling the New Jersey Education Association, the statewide teachers union, "the only federally approved terrorist organization." |
| Steven Hart :: Support Your School Budget, And Make Jim Gearhart Cry |
| Jim Gearhart, folks. Favorite drive-time squawker of Gannett Newspapers. He just lumped New Jersey teachers in with mass murderers who fly airplanes into office buildings and behead captives in front of video cameras. Jim Gearhart, folks.
Every now and then I'll hear from people who praise Gearhart as an independent-minded guy who's basically conservative but capable of thinking for himself. Sorry, folks, but it won't wash. Jim Gearhart is just another wingnut crybaby who doesn't want to pay his way like a grownup, and who will slander and defame honest Americans in the course of his on-the-air tantrums. If nothing else makes you want to vote today, showing up this clown ought to do it.
