Thread Name: Cont'd THOUGHTS, terms such as 'nazi'
Subject: RE: Cont'd THOUGHTS, terms such as 'nazi'
From my Webster's dictionary: "Bigot 1. a person who holds blindly and and intolerantly to a particular creed, opinion, etc. 2. a narrow-minded, intolerant person."

I have listened to his radio show, and he seems to exibit those qualities. I've heard enough from him to have an opinion. He seems to hate liberals (read: anyone who disagrees with him) or any "rights" organization and people involved with them. He has a habit of calling anyone he sees as a feminist as a "femi-nazi." I've also heard him use the word the word "eco-nazi." This is enough to prove he's a bigot to me, although it's difficult to prove the absence of something - in this case tolerance. (Of course, I seem to remember him saying nasty things about tolerance, too.) What made me click the "off" switch on the radio, was when he would have callers who disagreed with him he would call them names, insult them, and otherwise avoid discussing the topic. I suppose he didn't think anyone would notice.

If anyone can offer any evidence that the man possesses a shred of tolerance or open-mindedness, I'd be mildly interested. (I'd also probably faint from the shock.)
