Dan Caplis vs. Peter Boyles: Battle of the Clear Channel A-Holes

•  
• by: Half Glass Full

Is Dan or Peter the bigger a-hole? Hard to say. They both are so utterly consumed by their hatred of Barack Obama – not just disagreement with his policies, but outright frothing hatred for the man – that they consistently go off the deep end.

Cases in point: Peter Boyles seems to be the last man in America other than those two whores Jerome Corsi and Orly Taitz to be beating the “birther” gong. He devotes hours and hours of radio time to wacky conspiracy theories which totally ignore the facts.

Meanwhile, Dan Caplis willfully distorts the truth, arguing that the TSA scanners (which Caplis calls the “nude machines”) are part of some Obama attempt to exalt government over the individual: totally ignoring the fact that these scanners were procured and purchased during the BUSH administration and, until the recent media feeding frenzy, were viewed as a necessary measure to deal with new terrorist tactics.

Which is the bigger a-hole? I think it’s Caplis, because Boyles, God help him, is simply a nutcase about certain things: Tancredo, birthers… He’s like your harmless, slightly annoying old grand-dad if he had about $20K to spend on plastic surgery.

Caplis, on the other hand, is sleaze personified: quiet, sanctimonious pronouncements that “certainly” everyone must agree with him that Barack Obama is out to destroy our individual freedoms. However, Caplis would instantly be out to crucify Obama had he chosen NOT to install the scanning machines, and had some terrorist managed to sneak a weapon or explosive on board a plane as a result.

Caplis knows full well that these machines were procured during the BUSH administration, but he purposely chooses to distort the facts.

So congratulations, Dan Caplis: Clear Channel A-Hole Number One!
