Scurrilous attack on Barack Obama on Patriot Radio

Conservative US radio station Patriot Radio demonised President Barack Obama for the comments he made concerning the use of guns in the country after yesterday's college shootings.

The language, the style of how the redio presenters spoke about the President was horrific, close to evil.

Below is an extract from what President Obama said and what Patriot Radio derided.

“As I said just a few months ago and I said a few months before that and each time we see one of these mass shootings, our thoughts and prayers are not enough. 

"It does nothing to prevent this carnage being inflicted some place in America, next week or a couple of months from now. Somehow this has become routine.

"Right now I can imagine the press releases being cranked out. We need more guns, they’ll say. Fewer safety laws. Does anybody really believe that?"

The president called for news organisations to compare the number of Americans killed by terrorism over the past decade with the number who died in gun violence. He noted that the US spends trillions of dollars and has passed myriad laws to protect people from terrorism.
Patriot Radio is the same station that is opposed to same-sex marriage and abortion.
