Re: Caldera
Andy, that is exactly why this is so important. The public never draws the connection between Caldara the radio clown/pundit/asshat and Caldara the politician who is pursuing ballot initiatives to help reshape Colorado in a way that is anathema to most progressives. It's up to everyone who finds this type of commentary offensive to help draw that connection. Is this really the type of person we want commanding the public voice while promoting less funding for public education, opposition to organized labor and opposition to health care reform?

Caldara's "bitch-slapped" comment
|
|
Earlier this week, John Caldara, a local right-wing host on Denver's 850 KOA radio, discussed the presidential candidate debates. During his talk, he asked his guest on-air whether it "was it fair to say" that Senator Clinton (NY) "got bitch-slapped tonight?" (The Jon Caldara Show, Newsradio 850 KOA, evening broadcast 1/21/2008)
Did he really say "bitch slapped"? I know he's a talk show host. I know he pushes the envelope. But bitch slapped? He went too far. This comment rivals Imus' "nappy headed hoes" comment.
We, as Coloradans should be outraged. And we should not stand for this hateful commentary.
Not only was this comment demeaning to women, it minimizes the severity of domestic violence women across Colorado experience.
