[BREAKING] Former Talk Show Host, Jon Matthews Pleads Guilty

just saw that. wow.

 

I love it when pure hypocrisy is exposed.

 

For those of us in a vacuum, who is Jon Matthews?

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

Thanks Jeff, now what EXACTLY was he charged with?

 

Thanks, Jeff. Then I probably heard him before I moved to Austin in '80.
(unless he worked a country station in the '70's! )

 

What's with the radio talk show hosts recently?

You've got this. There was the whole Rush Limbaugh prescription drug thing and a talk show host from Dallas robbed a bank the other day.

 

Hypocrisy of any kind? Or just hypocrisy in conservative people?



I used to listen to Matthews a little bit back in the early-to-mid 90's, along with Roger Gray (whom I would describe as a moderate). I hate to see things like this, but he deserves whatever he gets. We're all human, and everybody makes mistakes, but something like this is inexcusable. Does anyone know how old the girl was? Not that it matters; I'm just curious.

 

They evidently wear their headphones too tight.

 

IIRC, Matthews was a big time "rule of law" type who advocated "throwing away the key" for many types of criminals. IMO, his hypocracy had nothing to do with his conservative leanings.

 

If only it were Hannity....I would throw a kegger to toast his demise

 

It doesn't matter if his hypocrisy had anything to do with his conservative leanings. The questions is still valid. Is Tex glad when hypocrisy of any kind is exposed, or only in people who are conservative? I didn't say anything about hypocrisy that pertains specifically to conservative issues.

 

no need to cause an internal debate here...what the guy did was wrong...and he's been a champion of the "tough on crime" approach for some time. it's come back to bite him in the ass.

in truth, we're all hypocrites to some degree...we all aspire to more than we can claim to be. but when you're mean-spirited to others...you will find that people will take delight in your demise. that's probably not a good thing...but it is what it is. people instinctively crave justice.

 

Wasn't Matthews the guy who made the anti-Chinese comments too, a couple years back...? Had the whole Houston Asian community in an uproar. I can only vaguely remember the whole fooferah; can't even recall what he said.

 

I'm reminded of Huey P. Meaux, the Houston based Texas music producer, promotor, radio personality, and publisher... producer of Sugar Hill, Crazy Cajun and several other labels. He had Kinky Friedman, the Sir Douglas Quintet, the 13th Floor Elevators, Freddy Fender, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Bubble Puppy, Clifton Chenier, Roy Head, Junior Parker, Johnny Winter and a bunch of other artists under contract at one time or another.

I was close friends with his girlfriend of several years. She had 2 girls from a previous marriage that I knew very well indeed. Unknown to anyone except Meaux and his victims, Meaux had a secret room in the back of his studios that was set up with video cameras, the works. He took dozens, or more, movies of himself having "relations" with these underage girls and several other underage girls. Someone finally talked, the secret room with it's videos was raided, and he was arrested and convicted, serving several years in prison. (not nearly long enough)

If you look at Meaux's stable of artists, it's clear to the meanest understanding that this guy was not a conservative. Politics has nothing to do with what human excrement like this man and Jon Matthews have done to children. And yes, I'm still pissed off. Meaux was in Austin a couple of years ago after he got out and he was greeted warmly by some in the music community here. They clearly haven't a clue about his background. These people deserve the worst punishment society can give them. I hope Matthews, if guilty, gets the book thrown at him. Huey P. Meaux had an excellent attorney and should have gotten worse.

(hey, that felt good)

 

Any kind of hypocrisy is bad, and I welcome it when it is exposed in anyone.

 

An EXCELLENT comparison!
