Late last week, to find out more about what happened to Chuck, I tuned in to his radio network (TalkStar) early in the morning and kept it on until Chuck's program cranked up. There was no mention of Chuck during the earlier shows - absolutely nothing. It was as if "For The People" never existed. That contrasts with Chuck's earlier networks, where the hosts of the other programs - both before and after "For The People" - would mention the show on a fairly regular basis. Not to mention all the ads for "For The People," most of which were narrated by Chuck himself. Not this time. The spookiest aspect of Chuck is the fact that he doesn't take callers anymore, and hasn't done so for over a year. Why? Finally, there's that cute gal with the light Southern accent urging Chuck's listeners to "e-mail two friends" to tune in, so that Chuck can "double" his audience and rescue the U.S. of A. because "now, more than ever, America needs Chuck Harder." Sadly, those PSA's are starting to get on my nerves. |

He kept talking the McVeigh & nickols story and played that stupid steam boat Swaney River over & over. And power beams from space trying to talk control of him or some such thing. |

SC, if you wanted to really figure out why I HATE Chuck Harder (and I do not use that all-caps word lightly), you had to have listened to his second hour yesterday, when he had on Doctor Jerome Corsi (another tinfoil hat psycho). Chuck and Jerome claimed that the Bush Administration is plotting to end the U. S. of A. as we know it, via an evil document signed by Bush, Vincente Fox of Mexico and the prime minister of Canada on March 23, 2005, called the "Security and Prosperity Partnership" (SPP) initiative. According to Chuck and Jerome, the SPP will quickly lead to a three-nation currency (the "Amero"), the dissolving of the borders between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, and a "super-government" overseeing all three. The U.S. Constitution will be voided, to be replaced with something very much like what the E.U. is considering. Other political entities pushing this insane conspiracy theory? None other than the John Birch Society, that paragon of Americanist conservatism that claimed back in 1958 (the year I was born) that President Dwight D. Eisenhower was a Communist. The really tragic thing about all this is that Chuck was saying the exact same things about Dubya's daddy back in 1992; back then, Bush Sr. was plotting to set up a world government, the so-called "New World Order," according to Chuck. Chuck will never learn. Naturally, there is absolutely nothing to the SPP conspiracy theory. One telltale sign is how defensive Dr. Corsi got as he was spinning his wheels; he said over and over again that "this is no conspiracy theory." That's a dead giveaway that it is indeed a conspiracy theory. Look, SC, you may not agree with me, but this "michigoss" (Yiddish for "crap") is not conservatism. It is lunacy, draped in the 'Merican flag. No one in their right mind would fall for it. If it were true, every reporter, pundit, Congressman, and Senator would be all over the Bush Administration. Remember Dubai? This would be a million times worse! Don't you think that if it were true, Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) would put it at the top of his Web site? Do you know what Rep. Tancredo's big issue is right now? "Tancredo Discusses Sierra Leone Issues with Isaiah Washington." No, I'm not making this up. And no, I do not know who Isaiah Washington is. QED! |

I've been listening to radio talk show host Chuck Harder since 1991.
No more. I've had it with him. I'm tuning him out forever. I refuse to subject my intelligence to Chuck's infantile verbal assaults, goofy conspiracy theories, lame-brain Bush bashing, and so on, and so forth. Hey, I never liked the guy in the first place ... so, in essence, this is no big deal. Yes, yes, yes, I know: Chuck suffered a lot in the last 10 years, most notably his bad accident in 1999 that confined him to a wheelchair for years. And I do realize the charitable efforts on the part of his network (TalkStar) and some radio stations (KCAA AM 1050, Loma Linda, CA for example) to keep him on the air. But charity only goes so far. Chuck should have stayed in Tampa; failing that, he should have stayed the hell out of politics. He is incapable of expressing a rational political thought - the mental version of his physical handicap, as it were - a handicap caused by his pathological hatred of the U.S. government, a hatred that defies all logical explanation. Only Timothy McVeigh hated Uncle Sam more than Chuck Harder does, in my opinion. And we all know what McVeigh did. Chuck Harder is not a "populist"; he is most definitely not a conservative. I would venture to say that he is not even a patriot. He is a government-hater, a "counter-culture-nik" born 40 years too late, a contemporary of Dr. Ward Churchill. He stands for nothing, but is against everything. And he, in my view, is dragging down everyone and everything associated with him: his radio network, his family, his friends, his listeners, his ideological comrades. The most tragic thing of all is the fact that it's too late for him to reform. If this were 1992 or 1995, there might be a chance. Not now. In a way, I feel sorry for the SOB. But my sympathy is tempered by my disdain for his politics. Nobody forced him to take that road to nowhere; he did it himself. I cannot predict when Chuck Harder will go off the air permanently, but whenever that happens, it will be none too soon. |
