Jon Matthews Houston Rt Wing Talk Radio Host Indicted: Indecency w. a Child

Where are you all getting this info that T_J has a preference for one pervert over the other? I don't see that in anything he posted. He only offered some "revelations" about Jesse Jackson.

 

giddy: bigtexxx said what Matthews did was not as bad as what Jesse did. T_J took up the charge. Where do you get that he doesn't suggest a comparison? And what's Jesse even doing in this thread? They get tired of comparing every single conservative crime, misstep or moral or ethical lapse to Clinton?

 

This is stupid. What was the point. Who cares, that's old news, they aren't "revelations".

And what Matthews did was illegal and perverted. Cheating on your wife may be morally wrong, it isn't perverted.

 

Cheating on his wife was simply the tip of the iceberg with Jesse. This man champions civil rights and equality, then makes racial slurs against Jews. The list of atrocities committed by Jackson is lengthy.

 

Dude, I'm not going to argue about Jackson, because today's topic is Matthews. That's today's news, not a racial slur Jackson used 20 years ago.

Using the word atrocities is laughable just as most of your arguments are.

 

Here is andymoon's post to which T_J replied with evidence: "Please cite any instance where Jackson has done anything remotely as bad as exposing himself to a minor. Oh, that's right, you can't, you are just trying to deflect criticism off of the conservative. Typical."

Citing something "remotely as bad" only requires that it be within spitting distance, I believe. He didn't say "as bad" or "worse."

Both men are wrong, period. I'd say Matthews was "worse," but neither Matthews nor Jackson has a defense. Jackson pays an exhorbitant salary to his mistress out of the hard-earned money that his supporters naively give him.

 

As much as I abhor adultery, regardless of political affiliation, it's not even within spitting distance of exposing yourself to a minor.

 

How a Right-wing radio talk show host can expose himself to a child is just a sign of how sick this system is and I think people want to change. The only way you get change is to vote for Democrats.

 

are you kidding?? please tell me you're kidding.

 

How did a discussion about a pedophile turn into an argument over semantics.

Don't some of you guys have kids? Where is the outrage?

 

I just took Gingrich's quote about Susan Smith and substituted some words. Pathetic, no?

 

Oski --

I've never been a Jon Matthews fan...even before this. I've always felt him to be way too abrasive. The whole "king john" thing really didn't impress me.

At this point I know a grand jury indicted him...if he did the crime, he ought to do the time. I would say that with or without kids.

I think the backlash you see here stems from the very first post which seems to take some delight in the fact this guy did this so that a political jab can be made. That's what's disappointing.

 

Is the guy guilty? Much like all the speculation swirling around Kobe Bryant, you have to wonder if the allegation is legit or not. As of now, we don't know anything of the story. I wonder if we ever will, since exposure doesn't leave much evidence. I wonder if there are witnesses (besides THE witiness). How can you prosecute on this?

In another vein, I think it's cool that he resigned right off the bat, instead of trying to hold onto his job and proclaim innocence. Even the allegation stains his work.

Btw, who the heck is this guy? I've been living in this town for decades (with a 7 year haitus, admittedly) and I never heard of him. I suppose I'm stuck on NPR too much.

 

LMAO!!!

 

This is gloating? Except for Matthews, who hasn't stood trial yet, it's just stating the facts. Remember, Arnold and Rush addmitted to what they did.

 

Well, it is the D&D...

Seriously, even though I'm conservative for the most part, I coudn't stand Matthews. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but usually where there's smoke, there's fire. If he's guilty, throw the book at him. Of course, any rational person would know that it doesn't mean that every conservative beats off in front of children and the way to fix it is to "vote for democrats"...I hope.

Look at the bright side. Maybe Dan Patrick will replace John's show with The Phil Hendrie Show.

 

This perceived gloating is, IMO, a direct result of who started the thread. Had rimrocker, Jeff, or, hell, even myself had started this thread with the same exact words, no one would accused us of gloating. When I first read it, I didn't think gloating at all. Of course, maybe we're just more subtle than the gloating that's done by the other side.

 

W

rimrocker doesn't think that either. He just made a play on Gingrich's words (another outstanding example of the family values from a conservative).

 

What a joke this is. If you are trying to paint yourself, rimrocker and Jeff as moderates, please spare us. If you are trying to paint yourself as a good 'gloater', again, please spare us.
