William J. Kelly hosts the “Kelly Truth Squad” on WIND radio in Chicago. Yesterday, he went scrounging for some material and decided to try and interview Chicago mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel.
But when Kelly began asking tough questions, some local news reporters took umbrage to him cutting into their interview time, and his irreverent, brash style. That lead to some shoving and a climax that included one reporter shouting, “Let him finish or I’m gonna deck you!”:
According to Dana Loesch, neither the reporter who threatened Kelly nor his station have responded to requests for comment.

Posted on October 13, 2010 at 11:51amWhat a bunch of suck asses. You people in Chicago, do you really think rahm gives a flying f*** about Chicago or it’s people? He is corruption personified. It’s all about getting control of the levers of power for personel gain. The guy is a career politician. Do you really think better days are ahead with another career politician? Same old S***. Why do people think the want a king to lord over them? FREEDOM!!

Posted on October 13, 2010 at 1:31pmWhen people are GIVEN a free ride, they will tend to stay with it and soon comes to a point that ‘it was owed’ to them. This mentality spreads like a cancer and well hard to overcome. The U.S. under this administration IS becoming a welfare state. It’s just more power to the GIVERS. The people are trapped in a state of lies and dependence. rham is a continuation of these lies and dependence. As with all in this present administration, he is a deceiver. I hope the people of Chicago will see this.

Posted on October 13, 2010 at 1:39pmDon’t worry, that reporter can only threaten and will only threaten when there is no way to see his threat through…cowards are loud and fortunately ineffective. As the conscience of the American Citizen awakens, these types of empty threats will disappear because at some point the rules will get adjusted and honor will win the day.
