Does This Wifebeater Make Me Look Fat?
Well, our resident teabagging radio talking head, Bill Colley (aka Curley, aka The Fat Man) decided to go one step further. During yesterday afternoon’s show, he said regarding the response to West’s email “If he went and cold cocked her one, I certainly couldn’t blame him.” He then giggled his stupid little giggle that’s his trademark and then went to a news break.
Curley’s statement clearly explain why he’s divorced and probably why “Angry White Female” no longer dates him. Who would want to have anything to do with a “man” who publicly advocates violence against women, especially when that woman dares to express an opposing political viewpoint.
After the news, the first advertiser was Discover Bank. I wonder if Discover Bank knows that they are supporting a radio station and host that calls for men to hit women? After Discover Bank, was Cafe Azafran, then Delmarva Roofing.
We need to be proactive in our response to this. Call Discover Bank at 302-323-7810 and tell David Nelms (Chairman of the Board and CEO), Roger Hochschild (President and COO), Roy Guthrie (CFO and Executive Vice President), Kathryn McNamara Corley (Executive Vice President), and James Panzarino (Chief Credit Risk Officer and Senior Vice President) and let them know that they are supporting a man who advocates beating women. Call Cafe Azafran at 302-644-4446 or email them at richard@cafeazafran.com and let them know the same thing. Contact Delmarva Roofing at 302-462-7218 or email them at sheldon@delmarvaroofing.com and let them know the same. And let all of these businesses know that as long as they support a radio show that promotes violence against women, you won’t be patronizing their business.
Enough is enough, Fat Man. Go back to Syracuse. You’re an embarrassment to the human race. We don’t need or want your type of “man” in Sussex County or Delaware.

You’re right, MJ — enough is enough. I’ll make those calls.
AS will I – to bad about Azafran…..good food, nice owners…but…
I have had enough
MJ
Denigrating a person because of physical appearance or a disability shows just what kind of person you are. You can’t quite stick to the issues to make a point and that makes you less than irrelevant.
Your Friend Torque
Torque – you’re upset because MJ said Colley is fat? That’s the only thing? Wow.
Torque, if you’d been paying attention the past few years, you’d know about the Fat Man’s nickname (and I didn’t come up with it).
As UI said, that’s the only thing you’re upset about?
Not your friend, MJ.
MJ
No, I’m upset about your progressive putrid non-American political ideology and your nasty blogsite.
You are a bottom feeder on the anus of America.
Wow, that “insult” sounds so familiar. Taking a line from you, it makes you less than irrelevant. Bye-bye, teabagger.
Stick with the issue (violence against women) or we’ll redact your comment as your friends over at batshitcrazypolitics.net do.
Oh gosh, I’m so offended. But to keep it on the subject, Colley is a great advocate for America. Yes, I admit, he is a little overweight but “what the heck.” He speaks what he believes just like we all do. I hope he stays on subject. Although I don’t agree with everything he says on his program, I agree that he has the right to say it and I will defend that right.
You and your attack dogs come over to our websites to spread your vile vitriol, slander and lies so for the first time my intention is to return the favor.
It isn’t the first time you’ve been here, either. Speaking of lies and vitriol.
People who lie go to Hell. This isn’t the first time you’ve come over here to comment.
When you advocate violence against women (or anyone else) and advocate the violent overthrow of the US Government, as he has on more than one occasion, you cannot use the First Amendment to hide behind. That’s a failed argument, much like the GOP and the teabaggers.
When explaining the difference between her rally and a tea party rally, Wasserman Shultz said that her rally didn’t have swastikas and pictures of the president in black face like the tea party does.
She is no better than any other name calling politician.
no, she pointed out a fact that her rally attendees aren’t a bunch of barbarian terrorist-wanna bees dressed like some sort of right wing fascist halloween party. The Teabag politicians cannot make that claim.. in fact, they help froth up that mass of tripe.
He probably has a “Free Jared Lee Loughner” bumper sticker.
The Tea Party loves their signs.
Wasserman Shultz stated fact.
Pandora, just to get some perspective from your high horse you should google image “George Bush nazi”
When explaining the difference between her rally and a tea party rally, Wasserman Shultz said that her rally didn’t have swastikas and pictures of the president in black face like the tea party does.
You went after Wasserman Shultz, FBH. Show me the signs from her rally.
MJ
I’m not who you think I am. I’ve never advocated violence against the government. I am am an advocate of the Republic that is dedicated to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as they are written. This is where we differ. You want to reinterpret the constitution and define it, in your skewed interpretation.
Hell, let’s cut to the chase and tell it like it is. We do not agree with each other, even on one point. So let’s agree to disagree on almost everything and perhaps we can meet and discuss the future of the world.
C’mon MJ, have breakfast with me in Lewes. You might find the conversation stimulating if not frustrating.
.
Good idea, MJ. I’ll make the calls on Monday.
Another thing that can be done by those w/ Twitter accounts is to ask Why does #DiscoverBank advertise on a radio program that advocates beating women? Then link to MJ’s post.
“I am am an advocate of the Republic that is dedicated to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as they are written.”
That Republic does not exist, and hasn’t since John Marshall defined the role of the Supreme Court as it’s currently understood. Or did you already make peace with that?
This is the especial unseriousness of your position, Torque. The Constitution “as written” needed immediate amendment — 10 times, in fact — before contemporaries could be persuaded, reluctantly, to vote for it. Its flaws are many and manifest, leading to one Civil War already and quite possibly another before it’s all over.
When we write the history of the fall of America from its position as world’s lone superpower, the federal system — essentially, a Balkanization of the nation — will loom large in the analysis of why China and India, both diverse nations that nonetheless operate in unity — overtook and surpassed us.
pandora, that is just nitpicking. Your side has just as many nasty’s as the tea party which I am not one of but do agree with on many issues.
The whole point of this post is that someone with a microphone, who is a legend in his own mind, openly advocated violence against a woman, who also happens to be a Member of Congress. If anything violent should happen to Wasserman Schultz, G-D forbid, it’s on Curley’s head.
It’s just like his “blood in the streets” comments prior to last year’s election.
Your side has just as many nasty’s as the tea party
Yeah, sure, of course “our side” wants to destroy the credit of the United States. You know, both sides do it yadda yadda yadda.
MJ
Your own fantasy has dictated that Colley has advocated violence against women. I know Colley and don’t agree with everything he advocates, I do now that he certainly does not advocate violence against women.
C’mon, give it up, you know this is a false post and that you are a complete charlatan and opportunist!!!
Condoning the smacking of one woman = condoning violence against women.
If you want to pretend that there is a different argument being made here, then you should go right back to Delaware Politics where they’d buy that bullshit hook, line and sinker.
Cassandra
The “smacking of one woman,” is never condoned. I am not denigrating MJ, (the famous idiot) for this post but instead for his insistence that Bill Colley is a woman beater. I know Bill Colley and I know that he doesn’t condone “woman beating.” What I object to in MJ’s post is that he is an opportunist that prevaricates and exaggerates the shortcomings of those that he considers opponents. He is a shallow individual that needs to be relevant and can’t quite extrapolate the provisions necessary to attain this goal.
By the very nature of the statement by Colley, he advocated violence against a woman/women. Colley told people that is what he would do (hit a woman) and opened the door for others to feel justified in hitting a woman also – for that is what Colley would do.
In his postition Colley has a responsiblity to be aware that what he does and says has consequesnces and people that listen to him, perhaps look up to him, take on his opinions and often emulate those positions. It would be irresponsoble and improbable for Collley not to grasp that concept.
During yesterday afternoon’s show, he said regarding the response to West’s email “If he went and cold cocked her one, I certainly couldn’t blame him.” He then giggled his stupid little giggle that’s his trademark and then went to a news break.
This statement from Colley condones violence against women. Full stop. Specifically, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. Pointing a snit at MJ isn’t enough deflection from this point.

I’ve seen and experienced your posts before and don’t have much credence in them. Where “specifically,” did Colly Say that is was OK to beat on women? I’ve heard these allegation but no substantiations. That’s great but, “where’s the beef.” Are you guys real or full of feces, like I think you are?
I suggest that people publicize MJ’s post on as many social media websites as possible. When they do so they should emphasize the Bank of America connection. That will almost certainly get their attention and easily cause them to stop advertising on the radio station. I’ve already put something up on Twitter about it. This afternoon I will push this elsewhere on the web.
Torque: 1) cassandra_m points to the specific incident and it is also stated in the first paragraph of this post. How could you miss the statement, “If he went and cold cocked her one, I certainly couldn’t blame him”?
2) Attacking the commenter and calling other names does not promote your argument and highlights your anger issues.
3) It is usually men who beat their wives that profess to be ignorant of the offense and fail to see the problem when presented.
Stopping violence against woman and speaking out against it is vital to it’s deterrence. Dana and Cassandra I will be publicizing this post and making calls to the advertisers on the radio station too.
Torque: There are approximately (10) “anon”‘s that post on this site, as it is short for “anonymous”, which “anon” do you dislike the most?

“It is usually men who beat their wives that profess to be ignorant of the offense and fail to see the problem when presented.”
This is unbelievable and laughable that you are now accusing me by insinuation of beating my own wife.
You progressive liberals are so deluded that you won’t substantiate your own accusations but instead accuse others to dilute your own involvement in falsehoods and attempt to lay it on your own invented adversaries.
You guys are a real treat in Psychological training.
I’ve also posted this on Facebook and Google+. It might be helpful to place an account of it DailyKOS, emphasizing the Discover Bank connection. Perhaps that way scores, if not hundreds, of people will contact the bank to complain.
There is no such thing as a “typical” perpetrator of domestic violence or “wifebeater”. However, researchers have found that men who abuse often:
Use violence and emotional abuse to control their families.
Believe that they have the right to behave in whatever way they choose while in their own home.
Think that a ‘real’ man should be tough, powerful and the head of the household. They may believe that they should make most of the decisions, including about how money is spent.
Believe that men are entitled to sex from their partners.
Don’t take responsibility for their behaviour and prefer to think that loved ones or circumstances provoked their behaviour.
Make excuses for their violence: for example, they will blame alcohol or stress.
Report ‘losing control’ when angry around their families, but can control their anger around other people. They don’t tend to use violence in other situations: for example, around friends, bosses, work colleagues or the police.
Try to minimise, blame others for, justify or deny their use of violence, or the impact of their violence towards women and children.

Sounds like you have experiential knowledge of what you are counseling on. Is that true? Have you lived those situations? You are laying them on Bill Colley without knowing him, so it must be alright for me to lay those attributes on you for the same reasons.
The headline does not serve this post. It is a distraction. If the headline was: “Do WGMD advertisers know what they are supporting?’ This would be a much different thread.
Hey Jason 330
I think that WGMD advertisers know exactly who they are supporting and that is why they are supporting them. If you guys want to boycott them (ALL 3 OF YOU) They will probably applaud losing your business because they will pick up more conservative business.
Bill Coley has listeners that may have been on both sides of the fist so to speak.
Does Coley know the experiences of all of his listeners and is he not promoting hitting a woman by the statement he made on air?
Torque are you arguing for or supporting domestic violence/ wifebeating? See the link for more information on the harm caused.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_violence
“Women are subjected to domestic violence more often and more severely than are men.[90][91]
According to a report by the United States Department of Justice, a survey of 16,000 Americans showed 22.1 percent of women and 7.4 percent of men reported being physically assaulted by a current or former spouse, cohabiting partner, boyfriend or girlfriend, or date in their lifetime.[92]
I agree, Jason. The headline could stand a rewrite. I didn’t pay that much attention to it until you pointed it out. Your suggestion is much more to the point.
Um, y’all do know that a wifebeater is a slang term for a sleeveless t-shirt, don’t you? Think about that and then re-read the title of the post.
And I doubt that many of the Fatman’s listeners could even afford to walk through the door of either of Cafe Azafran’s locations.
Good suggestion Jason and thanks for adding that information MJ. Did not know.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeveless_shirt
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wifebeater
I do know what a wife beater is, and the headline is still stupid. Part of being clever is making it seem effortless. This headline is very try hard.
“”What I object to in MJ’s post is that he is an opportunist that prevaricates and exaggerates the shortcomings of those that he considers opponents.”
Slightly modify the context of that statement, and that is a VERY accurate description of Colley.
It seems like a couple of months ago I posted a good sized list of the advertisers that use this douche bag to peddle their wares on WGMD. I contacted most of them. Looks like Dana is the only one who is motivated to do anything. You fuckers need to stop arguing with an idiot and get out there and stop Colley from embarrassing real conservatives.
It’s hot as hell over here in New Jersey, and I left my wife beater home.

Your Friend Torque
Torque-
I heard Colley that day, too, he continually referred to DWS as “big nose,” so you can take your indignation at MJ’s comment, and cram it up your cramhole.
My point was that the blog should be used to get people to call Discover Bank, Cafe Azafran, and Delmarva Roofing to ask them if they know that their ad money is going to support this:
“If he (West) went and cold cocked her (Wasserman Schultz) one, I certainly couldn’t blame him.” He then giggled his stupid little giggle that’s his trademark and then went to a news break.
Maybe they know it, maybe they don’t but even three calls would be meaningful. I doubt Discovery Bank wants its brand affiliated with what some customers think is hateful rhetoric.
Even Union thugs follow the code and the law criminalizing putting hands upon a woman. It just isn’t done. Thanks to MJ for putting up this post and the advertisers that have only got one email from me and should receive many more from my friends and thank you Dave G. for the twitter push.
Torque, you’re a foolish tool.

First, Colley said it. I heard it too. 4:30 pm, Thursday, just before the news break.
The comments were revolting, and do not belong on our airways. He does not reflect the people of this community. His whole shtick is that he spouts an untrue fact, keeps repeating it until others believe him, then his listeners end up believing bullshit like Democrats are un-American. On Thursday, he went on and on that it would be okay for a man to hit a female member of congress.
What type of man advocates hitting a woman? A coward. A disgusting piece of trash.
By the way, when you folks receive replys from those advertisers, please post them here on his thread. I’d be interested in seeing their reactions.
