Conservative Radio Host Jan Mickelson Is Totally Cool With Bringing Back Slavery

And without Huffington Post, Mickelson's mindless rant would have stayed there.

He's got a history of mindless rants. Maybe it's because I'm in Minnesota and he used to live here that I know about him.

He got more print coverage than airtime. He's a big fish in a little pond hoping someone will make him a big fish in a bigger pond.

He's in the middle of the BOTTOM half of the top 100 media markets. More folks watch Al Jazerra TV than listen to his radio station.

His audience is basically all of Iowa, western Illinois, and southern Minnesota. He is important in Iowa and the GOP candidates know the road to the White House goes through his radio station.

Insignificant voices have been saying outlandish things since the beginning of time.

Iowa, Iowa, Iowa....important to GOP politics, therefore he's not insignificant. After his latest comments, it will be interesting to see if the candidates shun going on his show. I'm pretty sure most of them have been on it this year so far.

Edited to include your additional comments"

I hope he doesn't do his own taxes because the math doesn't work. There are only 639,000 people in region where his radio station is heard. If every person in the Des Moines-Amea market were listening to the radio while he was on the air less than 45,000 people would be listening to TalkRadio 1040AM.

His audience is basically all of Iowa, western Illinois, and southern Minnesota. They replay his show at night when a clear channel 50,000 watt radio station reaches a lot more listeners because of atmospheric effects.

Because he said something controversial he will get new listeners. The GOP candidates grovel to be on his show. He will eventually name a favorite in the GOP race. He has and does influence Iowans.

Folks can downplay it all they want. First Trump and now him. It's establishing a pattern for what folks in the GOP really want to do. And the world and all the other voting blocs are listening.

The man has the #1 show in the state, and the GOP candidates will grovel to get on his show. And if asked to comment on his comments before getting on the show, they will undoubtedly try not to answer.

The level of disgust that every human being in 2015 should have for him should be right up there with Planned Parenthood.

To seriously talk about enslaving folks in 2015 as the solution to dealing with immigration is abysmal.

Clear Channel needs to take him off the air immediately.

There is no defense of this contemptuous person. I'm simply amazed at the efforts of people to downplay this.

Is that ACTUAL audience or POTENTIAL audience.

When I worked in radio, our sales info indicated POTENTIAL audience.

Does it matter? At this point he has said what he said to however many number of people and the mainstream media has gotten wind of it. It's another despicable display of which humane people should all be ashamed.

The only shame is that in your version of America, freedom of speech no longer exists.
:type:

Pure foolishness out of you again as no one challenged his right to free speech. I challenged his right to still have a job with Clear Channel.

From a purely business perspective, he deserves to be canned.

In the words of Targus, prove it. Where's your case study?

Are you denying that you don't care about white slavery? Look at all the libertarians and paleo-cons who want to legalize white slavery.

And then you have the widespread practice of such and the "blessing" given by the Democrats of same-sex practices.

Liberals especially believe that white slavery should be legal. Some of these illegals are doing the job that Americans don't want to do--why do you think that they are bringing them in?

Political ideology is clearly a strong indicator of views on this topic. Over half of self-identified Liberals (56%) support legalizing prostitution; 42% of Moderates and 33% of Conservatives would agree. From those pro-legalization respondents, only 9% of Liberals think that legislation would primarily reduce the influence of organized crime. However, 35% of Liberals supporting legalization believe that the main benefit of legalization is better-regulated health controls

You said that most democrats want to legalize white slavery. What does me caring about it or not have to do with you proving that statement?

White slavery has nothing to do with this thread unless Mickelson is planning to enslave illegal white people in Iowa too.

And then you have the widespread practice of such and the "blessing" given by the Democrats of same-sex practices.

Nothing to do with this thread.

Liberals especially believe that white slavery should be legal. Some of these illegals are doing the job that Americans don't want to do--why do you think that they are bringing them in?

Nothing to do with you proving that most Democrats are in favor of legalizing white slavery.

So you are not concerned with all slavery just some shock jock making an outlandish statement somewhere in Iowa which you heard about in the news? I am guessing that you have no objections to white slavery in Iowa. And I have never heard you say anything against slavery in the Islamic world. And nothing against white slavery in India.

And nothing from Crabtown on those subjects either. What about white slavery in Prague, another Amsterdam?

Or what about white slavery in Cuba, where little Afro-Cuban children are sold to ageing American hippies for a few bucks?

And again your surmise has NOTHING to do with proving your statement that most democrats want to make white slavery legal.


So I guess we can assume it was just histrionics and an outright lie.

I am guessing that you have no objections to white slavery in Iowa. And I have never heard you say anything against slavery in the Islamic world. And nothing against white slavery in India.

And i'm guessing since you haven't attempted to provide proof of your statement of most Democrats wanting to make white slavery legal, that you're just typing up made up lies because it makes you feel good.

And nothing from Crabtown on those subjects either. What about white slavery in Prague, another Amsterdam?

Or what about white slavery in Cuba, where little Afro-Cuban children are sold to ageing American hippies for a few bucks?

And none of these things thrown out to detract are evidence in support of your accusation.
