Ben Ferguson, WRE 600 Memphis, Lies On Air!

[TonySutton]

I feel like I am listening to a Sean Hannity clone...

 

[bulloncoins]

Will anyone here take credit for anything he read? I bet he is making them up.

100% Shill.

 

[Danny Molina]

I haven't even written him. I also don't think our supporters are that overtly vulgar. Oh well, first amendment.

 

[WilliamC]

Will anyone here take credit for anything he read? I bet he is making them up.

100% Shill.

Oh I don't doubt if he gets a few hundred emails some folks will be mailing hateful crap. Of course he will emphasize those.

He's on for another 45 minutes...

 

[WilliamC]

Ben just said he doesn't support Ron Paul because terrorists cut off peoples heads.

Email Sent

I just sent an email asking for correction of the misinformation about the official campaign web site and an on-air apology for the disparaging remarks he made about Dr.Paul...

 

[WilliamC]

Ben's been laying on the fear-mongering about how terrorists train their children to kill people and blow themselves up and that's why he won't support Ron Paul.

Ben seems to think that Ron Paul wants to negotiate with terrorists.

Not just listen to their motives so as to better understand how to defeat them.

Ben is scared, and his fear blinds him to the truth.

If we need to make war on someone, then declare it, win it, and come home.

But the neo-cons want to remake the world in their image, and that will be their undoing.

Response from Ben:

That was quick...

THANKS FOR YOUR EMAIL, If you listened to what I said I did not say that this was his website. I did say that the web-site has alot of comments on what Ron Paul supporters think.. I never said it was his campain, and the listener did not ask me for his web-site...

I also came back on the air and made sure to say that the site was not his official site...


thanks for listening....
Ben

 

[TonySutton]

he quoted me and then pretended he doesn't support attacking Iran

"Ben,

Why do you feel the US has a right to impose our will over another countries sovereignty. If the people in Iran want democracy they should work for change or overthrow their government.

Ron Paul supporter, Retired US Marine, father of 4"

If someone is recording this show please put together a montage of him making statements and then saying he never said it.

Isn't this Ben Ferguson?

 

[WilliamC]

He's playing Ron Paul quotes that destroy his position!

Ben is totally clueless, he's helping Ron Paul more than he knows.

 

[terlinguatx]

...

 

[WilliamC]

Ben just lied and said that he did not say prisonplanet.com was Ron Paul's web site.

We need to get the audio pulled. He did say "if you want to know about Ron Paul go to his web site prisonplanet.com"

That's a deliberately misleading statement.

 

[terlinguatx]

...

 

[pacelli]

Nice hair piece.

Oh, THAT Ben Ferguson. Yep, neocon shill, Fox News contributor.

I'll tell you why he's not in Iraq, because he was clearly shaking as she was dressing him down. I doubt seriously he would ever stand up to fire.

 

[WilliamC]

Be tactfull with all people,even radio hosts, because they can become supporters too.

Oh I agree, and I don't even object to Ben's bashing of Ron Paul so long as he doesn't outright lie while doing it.

Again, my specific complaint, which I'm trying to contact the FCC with, is that in response to a caller who said that he didn't know much about Ron Paul, Ben Ferguson said "go to his website at prisonplanet.com"

This was a deliberate attempt to steer people away from Ron Paul's official website to a conspiracy site, and I think it crossed the line.

When given a chance to correct this mistake with the correct Ron Paul website Ben would not and said "oh I was just talking about a supporters web site" or words to that effect.

But I was listening when he said "if you want to know about Ron Paul go to his website at prisonplanet.com"

That's the lie I think needs to be publicaly retracted.

Here is my response from Benny Boy:

his commercial has been playing all morning... i am sure people can google as well.. i have not been putting out any of the candidates web-sites... I try to be fair... but congrats of buying adds on the show... more than any other candidate on the air now......

 

[georgiahick]

I contacted the producer and this is what he told me...I am the producer of the show and have no problem at all with ron paul.
You need to tell the source...ben ferguson. [email protected]

So I asked him if he has no controll over what he says, and as a producer doesnt that make him look bad? Told him I was not trying to start a fight just curious. Well see what he says
