I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who thought that he sounded like Paul Harvey--

I used to listen to him, and his father, a lot, for about the same reason as 12-stringer, though I was in Michigan.. It never occurred to me that the "Kill a Commie for Christ" routine (recently turned to "Kill a Muslim for Christ") was just a cynical come-on to the folks who really believed that stuff, and that the real purpose of it all was to accumulate huge amounts of money and real estate--

It also never occurred to me that his xenophobic social/political ideas would eventually be reflected in the White House--
