Limbaugh, Hannity... Schilling? Is the former councilor the next radio talk star?
On Friday, June 19, he opened his noon radio show by dubbing Congressman Tom Perriello (D-Ivy) "a boy doing a man's job" and a "lapdog" of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). He decried the closure of the U.S. prison at Cuba's Guantanamo Bay "a disgrace," and blasted City Hall for an alleged "attack on local media."
And that's just in the first segment.
To read such statements in black and white, it might seem that Rob Schilling is a stereotypical right-wing talk radio loudmouth. Yes, he is a pull-no-punches conservative, but the easy charm of his Schilling Show is that such lines are delivered with such calm that he sounds more like a courteous next-door neighbor than a microphone-equipped agitator.
But is the incendiary nature of such comments merely flying under a blanket of mild-mannered cloud cover?
