When You See “Christian, Radio, Conservative” in One Sentence, Hide Your Children.
I’ve told you guys about my bout with a rightwing Christian radio host in Houston who would talk about me personally on the electric radio and then ended up in prison. For winkie waving in front of little girls. And then he couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t let him have an internet radio show in prison.
And then there was Michael Berry, another Christian rightwing Houston radio talk show host who got caught in a hit-and-run at a gay club on drag queen night.
A host for a Christian radio station in Michigan was busted for paying to have sex with minors, federal investigators said.
John Balyo, 35, was collared on child sex charges after investigators with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement linked him to a human trafficking case, authorities said.
So, there ya go. It’s a movement.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Sigh!! Just un-friggen-believeable!!
1He was just doing research. To save them. Don’t you ever learn?
2According to the categorization enshrined in Alice’s Restaurant Masacree, this only qualifies as an Organization. A movement has a higher bar.
3“And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
Singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out. They may think it’s an
Organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said
Fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and
Walking out. And friends they may thinks it’s a movement.”
Yea, it’s a movement alright… and they’re moving straight to Hell.
4Lorraine: Second that.
5He was arrested in Gaylord. I’m not sure to do with that.
6“And that’s what it is: the Alice’s Restaurant Anti-Massacree Movement, and all you have to do to join is sing it the next time it comes around on the guitar…with feeling!”
Ah, Don A in Pennsyltucky, were we ever so young?
As for these creeps, like all the other right wingers, religion is just a magic Cloak of Immunity, that allows you to do whatever you want because God said it’s OK because… Freedom!
7Bless their poor hearts. They are pathetic. So sad. Thanks for singin’ us a song, DonA. We need music.
8Don’t blame God for what they did. He’s prolly annoyed too. Or outraged. Or disappointed. What I want to know is don’t they know it’s wrong, whether you’re a Christian or not, to do what they’re doing?
9Aren’t Kristians fun?
10Two’s a pair, three or more is a collection. The collection just keeps growing over the years. As my Evangelical home-schooling sister-in-law always laments, hate the sin, love the sinner, which is how she also justifies LGBT issues. PUKE.
11When You See “Christian, Radio, Conservative” in One Sentence, Hide Your Sheep.
And your money.
12I have always had deep suspicions about all radio and TV “evangelists” and their true intentions. Darn if they don’t confirm them over and over again. Can the FTC regulate
13truth in preaching?
Jesus must be so proud. Sigh….
14It’s a business this eeevangelizin’ on the airwaves. Always has been and always will be. Iffen they were sincere ’bout soul savin’ they’d have started with themselves. I hope there really is a hell and that the bottom rung is reserved for CRCs and certain Republicans.
15Years ago I occasionally listened to night-time radio shows out of Del Rio, Texas. There were several radio evangelists with their own shows.
The most enterprising one asked listeners to send him $5. (which was a bigger sum then than it is now.) In return, he promised to mail the donor an authentic signed photograph of Jesus.
163 guys walk into a bar-a radio talk show host,a christian and a pedophile. Wai,that was just the first guy.
17Don, I have many things to still get done today, and now I have a nearly uncontrollable urge to get out the ol’ Arlo Guthrie masterpiece and laugh about my lost youth. You rascal you!
Yes, I imagine Christ Himself is tickled pink.
EPO @17 — I’m stealing that!
18I hope televangelists get the same scorn. I live about 20 miles from Robert Schuller’s birthplace-Alton,Iowa. He of Crystal Cathedral fame. He could grift with the best of the worst.
19I’m seeing a bright side to this story.
There was a time when this would have been kept quiet. The Police would have kept this out of the news out of respect for the Ministry. The news wouldn’t have carried the story out of respect for the Ministry and because it was disgusting. The offender would have been made to pray for forgiveness and control of his “urges” and made to promise to never do it again. And then he would have been let loose in the world.
I see the fact that he was arrested and we all know about it as a big step forward. This guy Balyo is still a major douche canoe and needs to be put away, but at least we all know about him and can warn our kids about such people.
20Christian rightwing Houston radio talk show host? Now THAT is a toxic brew if ever there was one!
21OldMayfly: there was another one on that station who said he would send the faithful who donated $5 a prayer cloth that had “been dipped in a pool whose waters had been troubled by the wings of an angel”.
22Biggomama, I don’t know where Del Rio is, but I always suspected it was real near the border in case any of those “Christian” con men needed to get out the country fast.
23@EPO … I love this because it is true!
“3 guys walk into a bar — a radio talk show host, a christian and a pedophile. Wait, that was just the first guy.”
LOL Sad but funny!!
24It’s all part of the Christian Lifestyle and their Christian Agenda.
Cramming it down everybody’s throat.
25It’s to the point where the minute someone says “Christian Conservative preacher” I automatically think “oh no,here we go again.” And the sad part is, I’m almost always right.
26Years (and I do mean human years) ago there was on the radio in Michigan a televangelizing priest who went after damn near every living thing and catagorized them as commie or jew or whatever. Finally got kicked off the air and then removed from the ‘hood. I know its kinda funny me sayin’ that but I never could say de-f****** cuz I could never, but never imagine him without his dress! In sum, it is possible to get rid of these guys who pollute the air without the help of the EPA.
27@OldMayfly, you’re correct in that Del Rio is on the Texas border Texas side. The station was in Del Rio, but the transmitter was in Mexico. That was done in order for the station to operate at a higher strength than would have been allowed in the US. Late at night, when most radio stations had gone off the air, the Del Rio station could be picked up almost everywhere in Texas.
28Inquiring minds want to know, wuz the minors boys or were them girls? Damn those immigrants for being so…so…tempting.
29John Balyo is a good Christian fellow. One of those “family values” kind of guys. Yeah, the Manson Family.
30Kristians know when they are doing wrong. People, on the whole, have an innate sense about that. Being Kristian, however, means they will be forgiven, so what the hey!
31June, thanks. That was a strong radio signal, all right. I was picking it up in the foothills of the Ozarks.
32OldMayfly-as a teen in the 60s I listened to KAAY 1090 A.M radio out of Little Rock for the latest R&R.
33As I recall, the call letters of that preacher station were XERF. You’re right about that, OldMayfly. H
Had a relative in Dallas with the main post office. He used to watch a local eeevangilist open his mail, keep the envelopes that contained checks, and toss the ones that didn’t in the trash…Those damn “prayer request” deadbeats, ya know.
34Is hate the new value? I don’t get much “love” happening while hating the “sin” is going on…and isn’t making a decision about what’s a sin best left to God, as in “do not judge” ?
35One of the most interesting books I ever read was Emmett Fox’s “The Ten Commandants” which looked carefully at the word “shalt” and ultimately said it meant “cannot” which makes the whole document another ball game…I liked it so much because it left judgment to God and that’s where it should be…
