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.

Where is Hell?

H/T to Conservative Treehouse


Kevin Jackson makes some excellent points.
Questions that we need to ask:

  • Who's to blame for the substandard schools in black neighborhoods?
  • Who's shooting up black neighborhoods?
  • How is an organization that is less than 3 years old be to blame?

    We have a racism problem here in Memphis that nobody is willing to talk about ~except pols like "King Willie" when they need to stir up voters to get elected or want more money or power. It's time to ask some tough questions.

    How has dependence on the DemonRats and government worked out for you? It's time to look at results, not just "intentions."

    It's time for patriots like Charlotte Bergmann to be heard and used as an example in black communities that the American Dream is still alive and well in the United States and dependance on the government isn't going to get it for you or your kids.

    Charlotte Bergmann for Congress

    Last night I had the privilege to attend a Meet and Greet with Charlotte Bergmann. I met some wonderful fellow Patriots. Charlotte Bergmann is the Republican that ran against CongressCritter Steve Cohen last year. Seeing as TN-9 is one of the safest districts for DemonRats, it wasn't a surprise that Cohen was re-elected. Charlotte is running again next year and 2012 may be the year that shakes up Memphis politics.

    As we survey the national scene, no one is happy with the economy. The oppressive leftist agenda of BO/BS and the DemonRats have crippled this economy. The black community has been especially hard hit with an unemployment rate 15.1% in July. As we look at Memphis, we're seeing the results of the truth that government isn't the solution; it's the problem. I think it's time that the truth of empowerment and conservative principles can make a dent in the voters in TN-9. Charlotte Bergmann is the person to take that message to the voters here in Memphis. She's a conservative black woman who is a small business owner herself. The bottle-neck will be in getting the message out. She'll need volunteers and financial support. She'll need outside the box thinkers. How can we educate Memphis voters who depend on government to take an honest look at the consequences of it and ask the question; "How is that working for you and your family?" We have the perfect opportunity to ask, "Which is better; a job or a check from the government?" How happy are with you your children's schools? The crime in your neighborhoods? Conservatives have the answers, we just need to get out, engage Memphis voters and educate.

    Will you help? Will you be part of the solution?

    Here are 5 easy ways to help get Charlotte Bergmann to D.C.

    I'm going to actively support Charlotte Bergmann. Will you?

    Charlotte Bergmann Can Win!

    The Oppressive Leftists are running scared. They are seeing the loss of their power on November 2, and they are in meltdown mode. Here’s the latest attck on Charlotte Bergmann by the Commercial Appeal and Steve Cohen. Oppressive Leftists like Cohen and Ms. Thomas can’t comprehend the possibility that someone in the AA community can think for themselves and not be beholden to the Demoncrats. They are afraid of people like Charlotte Bergmann and Clarence Thomas because they are proof that AA can be successful without their help.

    I would like to ask the AA in TN-9 a couple of questions. Please answer honestly. How have the policies of the Demoncrats helped you? Are you better off with a check from the government or would you and your kids be better off with a dad who had a job in the family? Are you happy with your kid’s school? Or have they failed to teach them reading, writing and arithmetic? Are they safe in their MCS schools? Are you afraid when your kids play outside or do you fear that a stray bullet might hit them or that some bully or gang member will beat them up? Are you really happy in your government paid for housing or would you rather have your own house in a safe neighborhood? Would you like to choose the school that your kids attend? Are you happy with the over 13 Million black babies that have been killed by abortion? That’s more than Aids, violent crimes, heart disease, accidents and cancer combined. Are you happy with the 16.1% unemployment rate in the black community?

    These are the effects of the liberal policies of the Democrat party. Don’t you think it might be time rethink your support of Democrats like Steve Cohen.

    Meet Charlotte Bergmann. She’s living proof that an AA woman can succeed in Memphis. Even as a single mom with 3 kids, she earned her degrees from Christian Brothers University and is now a small business owner. It can be done, even here in Memphis.
