Forrester Defends His Right to Display an Obama Bumper Sticker

Tennessee Democratic Party chair Chip Forrester is denouncing radio blowhard Michael DelGiorno for warning Democrats to yank their Obama bumper stickers off their cars.

"Seriously do yourself a favor," DelGiorno said on Super Talk WTN 99.7 this morning. "It will keep you from getting a few No. 1 signs and a lot of filthy looks. It's one thing to be dumb and partisan and destructive to our country. Just take the bumper sticker off, will ya? Cause things could escalate from town hall meetings right to the streets. You don't want to be stuck with that idiot's name on your car. That's the ultimate clunker."

Forrester retorts:

"Mr. DelGiorno has about as much credence on this issue as he did before he was forced to leave Tulsa, Oklahoma, after a defamation suit. He has shown reckless behavior over the airwaves in the past, and he seems to be continuing in that fashion. The owners of the radio station need to seriously reprimand Mr. DelGiorno for his comments. Threats and intimidation have no place in civil discourse, especially when the stakes are so high."

If Forrester starts reacting with outrage to what they say on talk radio, party press secretary Keith Talley will stay so busy he'll never make it to Brandon's in the evening anymore. When Steve Gill talks about Obama now, he mimics hip-hop language. At least we think that's what he's trying to do. That's not racist, is it? There's another press release for you, Talley.
