Ben Ferguson, WREC 600 Memphis, Lies On Air!

Greetings All,

I'm a bit angry right now. This morning I called into the Ben Ferguson Show on WREC 600 AM, out of Memphis, TN.

Ben Ferguson, while claiming to be a Conservative, is very anti-Ron Paul.

I was the first caller on, I mentioned that Ron Paul is the only Conservative left in the race, and that the Republicans would be hard pressed to beat the Democrats if they nominated McCain or Romney who are essentially democrats themselves.

We had a bit of back-and-forth, I scored some good points, Ben was dismissive of Ron Paul, not a big deal.

But, the next caller was also upset at the lack of a true Conservative in the race, and said he didn't know much about Ron Paul.

To which Ben Ferguson replied, "if you want to know about Ron Paul, go to his website at prisonplanet.com, that will open your eyes".

He didn't say this was a website that supported Ron Paul, he said "go to Ron Paul's website at prisonplanet.com..."

To me this is more than a simple mistake, as I know for a fact that Ben Ferguson isn't so stupid as to believe that prisonplanet.com is the official website for Ron Paul.

But he sure wanted his listeners to believe that.

I have contacted the West Tennessee Ron Paul Campaign Headquarters, the National Campaign, and I called the FCC to file a formal complaint.

For what it's worth he's getting a lot of pro-Ron Paul calls even as we speak.

His on air call in number is 901-535-WREC (9732) or 800 474-WREC (9732)
 
Nearly every call he's getting is about Ron Paul.

He's going off about Ron Paul being a nutjob, about being a kook, all the usual.

heh heh.
 
Nice hair piece.

He's catching heat now,

keep it polite folks, but let him know he's wrong.
 
Also send e-mails to his employers expressing your shock over being directed to a xxx website

Don't worry, he will come around to the message. If Ron Paul gets the Republican nod, he will come around. If Paul doesn't, and Hillary or Obama become president, he will come around. He just doesn't know it yet.

All in do time...all in do time....
 
Hmmmmm, what are they so afraid of? I thought the neo-cons said Ron Paul is done, toast, finished :p
 
Remember guys, the specific complaint I had was when Ben told a caller who asked for more information about Ron Paul to "go to his website at prisonplanet.com"

This is a deliberate lie to get people to go to a conspiracy site, not Ron Paul's official website.

That's the basis of my official FCC complaint which I have already initiated.

edit:

Normal "hate" bashing of Ron Paul is all well and good, but to lie and direct people to prisonplanet.com instead of his website is slanderous.
 
Ben just said Ron Paul wants to get rid of the Department of Defense!

He's on a roll :)
 
He's also the guy that said Ron Paul is only saying he's against the war to get ratings since it is a popular position right now.

Idiot.
 
Someone should ask him if he has any responsibility to speak the truth as the host of a radio show. Does he believe in or give lip service to honesty and integrity? Then ask how he can state such obviously false and misleading things.
 
He's getting lot's of emails and choosing to read the hate filled ones only.

surprise surprise.
