Right Wing Radio And Socialism

By Kleinheider Posted on June 20, 2008 at 11:31 am

The Lone Libertarian notes a bit of hypocrisy on the part of a couple rightwing Memphis talk show hosts regarding their position on nationalizing the oil industry:

However, neither host was able to satisfactorily explain why the city of Memphis should not sell Memphis Light Gas and Water (the local public utility) to private industry.  Why say that one energy industry shouldn’t be nationalized, when you are fighting for a different energy company to stay public?  Kudos to the several liberal and ultra conservatives that called in, exposing this hypocrisy.  Listening to the respective hosts, they both floundered around and mostly let callers duke it out.  Some callers cited areas where public utilities went private and rates went up.  It was all a bunch of he-said, she-said.
