Have you heard about this? The stupid bigotry of Bill Colley has a home at WGMD and he even has a blog there. One of his recent blog posts (see here, because nothing over there gets embedded here) takes a pictures of some mattresses on the side of the road and speculates that this is the doing of latinos. Huh? Who even knew that mattresses on the side of the road was a Latino thing? Ignoring, of course, that the biggest cause of large household goods on the side of the road is the direct result of a bunch of good old boys over-estimating the carrying capacity of their vehicle OR the under-estimating the strength of their tie-downs. I mean, who hasn’t seen these people on the road. The original post — from his own blog (who knew) is even worse, calling a bunch of trash alongside the road an Undocumented Landfill. As if the good old boys in his neck of the woods aren’t even capable of illegal dumping, which, of course, they are.
This is what I see on an alternate route to work. No one wants to offend the politically correct so the local poultry workers creating this “undocumented” dump get away Juarez free. It’s increasingly looking Third World. What will it take to convince these offenders to straighten up or perhaps go home. Doc Frame Road, Millsboro, Delaware.
Notice that he has no pictures of the folks he is accusing of making this mess here. Just the unjust and unwarranted accusation.
What we shouldn’t ignore is that this is a major Delaware media outlet who thinks that casual bigotry aimed at some of their neighbors is just fine. And it isn’t. So contact them and tell them to knock if off and ask if they think that any of their advertisers would be interested in maintaining a relationship with an outlet that accepts this kind of bigotry as part of their business model. Remember, everyone, right wing talk radio is dying a death across the US — pretty much led by the crash in advertising revenues by the chief wingnut himself, Rush Limbaugh. WGMD is settling another matter related to bigotry — so they definitely want to hear from us today.
