Brian Sussman: "You just have to kill them." Complains, "Abu Ghraibs aren't good enough for people like that."
"You got to go out there and just smother them. You got to kill them. That's the only way you can do business. Abu Ghraibs aren't tough enough for people like that. You just have to kill them. You have to begin killing them in such a way that the fear of death will deter them. If that's possible. Sussman show Hot talk 560 KSFO 808-5600." 3/14/2006 ( link 23 second Windows audio clip.)- Brian Sussman, Talk show host, KSFO 560 AM San Francisco speaking about an estimated 10 million Muslims he has determined are on a jihad to kill "the infidel".
Pretty grim quote eh? But check it out, this constitutes progress with Brian Sussman. After losing 8 major national advertisers he has modified his rhetoric somewhat. It only took 6 months and who knows know much lost advertising revenue for KSFO for him to slightly modify his hate vectors (I wonder if the sales people who lost their Christmas bonus because of his comments are still buddies with him?) So now instead of insulting all Muslims (even going to the extreme of insulting people who just SOUND like Muslims) he recommends we only have to kill the 10 million he estimates are out to kill us. Now I don't know what faith Sussman actually practices, because this doesn't sound like any Christian faith I'm familiar with.
He really wants to ratchet this holy war up a notch! He's not joking around either. He's really into this preemptive strike business. He admits he's always been a preemptive hitter:
"You did it on the playground when you were a kid. At least I did. You find out that some guy is going to deck ya and you decide you're going to deck him first, catch him off guard. Sports is filled with that, it's all about preemption. Surprising the enemy,Hmm, sounds like the school yard bully to me, I wonder who his school yard intelligent sources were? Curveball? Judy Miller? "Brian, Curveball told Judy who told me that Ahmed is totally going to punch you some day." And what sports is he watching, Bumfights? Knife Baseball? Assassin League Football? Sure history is laden with examples of preemptive attacks, but it's the BAD GUYS doing it. Way to hang with Germans in WW2 and every tin pot dictator on a expansionist jag, Brian.that's the only way you can win. You can't react. You have to, you have to make the first attack. You can't react you have to attack. And you do it in war and history is laden with examples for us." Link 30 seconds
And of course today he's trying to pump Jesus up into his own version of The Terminator. It really bugs him that Jesus didn't smite all those Romans preemptively. I guess in his bible Jesus only turns the other cheek when he is giving a round house kick.
I think Suss-man is confusing Jesus with Chuck Norris or Jack Bauer. Sadly, his faith doesn't sound like it can take any competition.
"And by the way I don't have to tolerate your religion and I don't have to respect your religion, if I did, what good is my religion? If I tolerate, certainly I don't have to respect your religion, if I respect your religion, what good is my religion? Tolerate? How about this, I can tolerate you, but I don't have to tolerate your religion." 2/3/2006 ( link. 25 seconds)
How sad that his religion (Christianity? ) is no good if it respects another religion.

It's interesting that his refusal to tolerate another religion makes him sound EXACTLY like that Afghani sharia court that is going to condemn a Muslim man to death for converting to Christianity. They don't think they have to tolerate any other religions, either.
What is interesting is that yesterday he REFUSED to be pinned down on what religion he actually was. I wonder why? A friend told me that if you don't identify with a specific religion you can claim to believe anything you want with no higher authority to appeal to.
Thanks for posting.
When I got linked from First Draft I about plotzed! Excited I was!
Thanks A.!

Hey Spocko -- sorry to contact you via a comment, but I can't seem to find an e-mail address on your blog.
Can you explain precisely what the hell your comment on my blog was all about?
Basically it's the old 'Kill the strangers' primal urge. Amazing how some people feel comfortable saying these things here but would be total cowards if they actually had to kill someone.
It's scary when you realize the 'other' has humanity.
"Article 2
The Organization and its Members, in pursuit of the Purposes stated in Article 1, shall act in accordance with the following Principles.
The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members.
All Members, in order to ensure to all of them the rights and benefits resulting from membership, shall fulfill in good faith the obligations assumed by them in accordance with the present Charter.
All Members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered.
All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations."
(UN Charter)
Of course, this radio thug doesn't approve of the UN Charter, but it is btw US LAW.
The law of the schoolyard went out in international affairs back in the 50s. Some thug named Hitler who believed himself unbound by laws decided it was in his best national interest to kill as many Jews as he could.
So the US and the UK, in concert with many countries, enacted laws that these felons think they can just ignore when they please.
Law of the Schoolyard won't save them. If their power weakens, they get to go fight over Milosevich's old cell.
I've been away from the SF Bay Area for some six years, but wasn't Brian Sussman a weatherman or sportscaster on Channel 5 or something? Now he's an AM radio loudmouth? Does anyone take a former weatherman seriously?
Geez, wadda joik!
This is the kind of stuff which keeps me from returning to the U.S.!

Hey Paul and LA: Thanks for the posting of UN law. Of course UN law means nothing to him.
Padre Mickey de Panamá
Yep, That's the same guy. He likes to say, "former beloved TV weatherman"!
It's interesting how much mileage and continued good will he gets out of being a weatherman, even though his comments on the radio for YEARS have been outrageous.
And as for taking them seriously, yep. I do. So do a lot of his listeners based on listening to the calls.
He's not joking. I suppose we all have to have been something before we got to a position where we rant and people listen. Some people were clerks some are teachers some are painters some are journalists, but once they have a microphone and are supported by some group, off they go. The previous jobs can be trivial or important, it's what they are saying now that we need to examine and notice the impact it has on people who are easily incited to dangerous acts.
I agree. He was much less a threat to society as a weatherman. He's become so bloated with delusions of grandeur now that I could easily see him turning that microphone into one of those weapons he loves so well by spewing out that endless supply of hatred he has within him and spreading it like a disease and whipping all the other hate-mongerers into a frenzy.
"Power has a way of undermining judgment, of planting delusions of grandeur in the minds of otherwise sensible people and otherwise sensible nations." - Senator J. William Fulbright, 1966
