The Stump Preachers.


When Kadizzle was a kid and his head was filling with nonsense, he used to like to listen to the crooked stump preachers on the local radio station WWVA. The term stump preacher comes from the old days in the hills when some goof would stand on a stump and preach to the other goofs. WWVA was the second radio station in the nation. Late in the evening the radio station had an amusing array of stump preachers that whipped the idiots into a frenzy and robbed them blind. One of the all time favorites one of these crooked preacher uses was this " Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Stop Everything! Someone out there in radio land has just been inspired by God to send me a check for $100, come over and put you hand on the radio to get your blessing right now". You could just see dozens of simple minded idiots yelling to their grand children "Quick, get me the check book". Today we still have the crooked stump preachers like Pat Robertson, Billy Grahm, and so on. However, there is a new breed. Now we have Glenn Beck, Hanity, and a whole new bunch that have taken stump preaching to a new level. Then new breed makes up simple minded explanations and conspiracy theories for everything, then they sell you a book full of lies and propaganda. The idea of a stump preacher is to be a good story teller. A good story teller will get you scared or excited. Fox News perfected taking stump preaching out of the realm of religion and putting to use in politics. The birther nonsense is classic. 67% percent of Republican think Obama may not have been born in this country. As you can see there is a vast supply of idiots to be harvested by the stump preachers, and you can see how easy it is to whup the dingers into a frenzy.
