Thank You George Flinn for Thaddeus Matthews

Just in case you haven’t ever heard of Thaddeus Matthews, here is a sample of his show from an interview he did with Congressional candidate, Charlotte Bergmann this past January.  

 
This is how he views women.
"If a woman doesn't like who I am, [she can] leave. As long as God can keep making women, he'll make another one," he says. "Yes, I'm spoiled. I was spoiled by my great-aunt, and I've been looking for a woman to spoil me ever since."
In his quest for a woman to spoil him, he’s been married multiple times ~so much that he doesn’t know how many times~ 
“admitting to a onetime sexual addiction, Matthews says he was married "between five and 10 times," resulting in four children by four different women.  
He has a rap sheet that includes patronizing prostitution , domestic assault and unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
You are probably asking what George Flinn has to do with Thaddeus Matthews.   That’s a good question.  After George Flinn’s failed mayoral bid in 2002, George Flinn hired Matthews at WTCK-AM 1210, one of Flinn’s radio station.  Here are a couple of quotes by George Flinn about Thaddeus Matthews and his show.
"I've known Thaddeus for years and he's matured a lot," says Flinn. "Frankly, I'd like to have some more like him on the air. He's talking about good things. People call his show controversial, but it shows how angry people really are about these issues."
“I wish I had had him on the air during my campaign. I think he would have gotten me a few more votes. He's really got his finger on the pulse of the community."
Here is the reaction of a Memphis mom when she learned of the connection between George Flinn and Thaddeus Matthews.
 
As of mother of 3 girls, I was horrified to see the interview of Charlotte Bergmann by Thaddeus Matthews for his “radio” show.  It sickened me to see how he would treat a woman, not to mention his disparaging insults to a black woman.  The fact that I was found this video thru national media as opposed to local media is disheartening as a Memphian.  It was a disgrace for the city of Memphis.
In a twist that could only happen in real life, imagine my surprise when I learned that perennial candidate George Flinn was who gave Mr. Matthews his platform for such vitriol.  Not only did Dr. Flinn give Mr. Matthews his platform, it also appears that George Flinn approves of Mr. Matthews show.  “I wish I had had him on the air during my campaign.  I think he would have gotten me a few more votes. He's really got his finger on the pulse of the community."  Flinn stated according to an article in the Memphis Flyer. 
In an ironic twist of fate, I’m sure that Dr. Flinn is disappointed that it was Mr. Matthews’ interview with Ms. Begmann that got Mr. Matthews thrown off the air during his bid for the Republican nomination against Charlotte Bergmann.
  Is George Flinn really the candidate who we want to challenge Steve Cohen for Congress in TN-9?  He sounds more like a friend of Cohen than someone who would want to beat him.  As the video of Ms. Bergmann demonstrates, she is the Republican candidate that has the courage to challenge and beat Steve Cohen.  Support Charlotte Bergmann in the Republican Primary on August 2, 2012 against George Flinn.  Ms. Bergmann is the candidate that can Repeal and Replace Steve Cohen in November.

  2. The above comment by Mr. Matthews is just a minute sampling of his vitriol. It would be funny if it wasn't for the fact that he spreads his hate into the Memphis community and there are people who eat it up.

    The following quotes from Booker T. Washington are applicable to Mr. Matthews and those that agree with him.

    “There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
    ― Booker T. Washington

    “Among a large class, there seemed to be a dependence upon the government for every conceivable thing. The members of this class had little ambition to create a position for themselves, but wanted the federal officials to create one for them. How many times I wished then and have often wished since, that by some power of magic, I might remove the great bulk of these people into the country districts and plant them upon the soil – upon the solid and never deceptive foundation of Mother Nature, where all nations and races that have ever succeeded have gotten their start – a start that at first may be slow and toilsome, but one that nevertheless is real.”
    ― Booker T. Washington, Up from Slavery

  3. Well Hello To "Fats"!
    (School nickname for Thaddeus Matthews)

    As he can tell you I always have been the thorn in his side.

    1. The false MS-13 accusation on Lester Street he made that had him embarrassed on national media.

    2. The controversy I orchestrated when he posted the pictures of the nude dead girl on his site.

    3. The exposure of the $100,000 paid to Eric Sammis to quit and leave the West Memphis Police Department.

    4. The calling of HUD to have him removed from the house on Wesley Cove. HE WAS FRAUDULENTLY SQUATTING next door to Larry Godwin.

    5. The embarrassment of the city court judge who kept him informed of confidential matters.

    6. The removal of the special agent in charge of Memphis for posing with a known convicted felon and the censuring of the entire Memphis Office for failure to inform the SAC of Matthews past.

    7. The exposure of his fraud inclined attorney and subsequent surrender of license to practice law. Falsifying evidence in the DeAunta Farrow case.

    8. Warning letters mailed to the Board of Professional responsibilty and to the relevant judge of his driving while license suspended cases. Follow the law or be prepared to have the FBI ask why not?

    9. The FCC investigations terminating his over the public airwaves communications.

    10. The information given to security officials of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton which prevents Matthews from getting anywhere near them.

    11. The outing of police officials who leaked confidential/restricted information to him and their subsequent resignations.

    12. The embarrassment and humiliation of Judge Charles Gallagher for allowing Matthews to use the recall the mayor money for his bond and costs at Juvenile Court. He allowed Matthews the time to do so while sending the rest of us to prison.

    13. The money collected for the Binghampton fire victims used for his radio show rent money.

    14. Forcing him to use moderation on his old websites because the truth was being posted.

    Oh yes! Old Fats knows he is always watched and all public officials keeps him at arms length in dealing with him.

    I use anonymous but he know who
    "You got to read it to delete it" is, as well as

    BRUHAWHAWHAW!
