He said it, I didn’t.
Stable Christian conservative Martin Kennedy on WWTN’s irresponsible lie and fear-spreading conservative talk show host Michael DelGiorno:
Been rather out-of-it regarding news and commentary but was driving around today and heard just the strangest snippet from local radio talker Michael Delgiorno. He was talking about what the polls would look like after the so-called “Rapture,” or during the “Rapture,” or however that loony theological concept is understood by dime-store theologians.
According to Delgiorno there would be like 100% approval for Obama and his policies. Everyone would hate Israel and want all Jews killed. I mean this was just crazy talk.
It is possible to favor limited-government, to believe that the family is the foundation of society, and that we ought to avoid entangling alliances without being a religious loon. In fact it is possible to be devout and god-fearing without being a loon. Michael Delgiorno is a loon and his ilk is hurting true conservatism.
It’s also possible to disagree with the President’s policies without stirring up fear and hatred in the minds and hearts of your listeners. Just sayin’.
My name is Ryan.. I know about Michael’s show because I listen to it, and sparky posted the shows that he spoke of you.
You make absolutely no sense.. you say Michael was “arrested for domestic violence for a fan.” Do you even know what domestic violence is? I’m not defending him for that, but that makes no sense.
Kat, for the last time.. I never said I didn’t like you. I don’t even know you! I simply said I don’t care for your music. That doesn’t make me “not like you”..
You pride yourself on being positive, and talk about people who say negative things. You are a hypocrite, in case you can’t tell.
You have made a positive post in this blog, and you haven’t had one response that wasn’t derogatory toward me.
Lastly, don’t call other people stupid when you can’t spell or use correct grammar.. Even stupid people know English.
I don’t plan on singing on stage, ever. I’m not a musician, I’m a business owner, and I don’t need to sing for money.
Michael, (AKA RYAN)
Why don’t you grow up and if you had any balls at all you would reveal yourself! Like I said before, I’m not giving you the satisfaction of indulging you in anymore email’s regarding YOU AND I.. I know this is Michael because how would you KNOW SO MUCH about the show when “he” spoke about me. You are so transparent! I really could CARE LESS if you like me personally or musically and I don’t need a redneck guido who got thrown out of Tulsa and arrested for domestic violence for a fan.. Literally, I’m not losing any sleep on any of it.. I suggest you get yourself on some meds for your anger problem and to go READ A BOOK instead of throwing threats around like kicking all Muslim’s ass’s till kingdom come or dedicating a whole show on HATRED! At least my message is positive and so is the music I write.. I’m afraid to ask what kind of music you like but then again.. You wouldn’t know good musicianship anyway… You’re to busy being fearful and stupid!
If you think I’m remotely intimidated by someone who HIDES behind his computer and continues to show his ignorance… I’M NOT MY DEAR..
Thanks again for your narrow mind and you prove my point in the song over and over again..
Lastly, if you don’t like me, then why are you so hell bent on perpetuating this conversation.. I, at least, said goodbye.. you continue and I find that so funny.. that’s exactly what Michael did.. hmmm. I see a pattern here!
Looking forward to seeing you sing on stage.. I”ll be in the front row laughing my ass off..
May your karma bite you really hard in the ass!!!’
Kat
Kat, you still haven’t done any favors for yourself.
You are only proving your maturity.
I didn’t say that I didn’t listen to the entire song because you don’t please me sexually, I said I didn’t enjoy your voice.
Obviously you have a problem with reading? You are making a fool of yourself.
You still haven’t answered the real question.
Oh Ryan.,
Do you need your bottle? Perhaps a diaper change? You sound like such a baby and if you can grow some BALLS then why don’t you tell US your real name? Are you scared? I have a feeling darlin, that you are MICHAEL or PHIL and it makes me only look BETTER! 8000 fans means I was referring to one of our shows at the Hollywood Bowl opening up for Lyle Lovett and with that said, HONEY, why don’t you ANSWER my questions and tell me why don’t you take off your boxing gloves and LISTEN to the song.. Forget, my vox, the music or the fact that “I’m not doing it for ya”.. Believe me, I AM SO GLAD that I’m not entertaining you sexually and if that’s why you listen to music you are more PATHETIC than I thought.. This is about the MESSAGE and your simpleton mind perhaps cannot grasp the concept.. Again, the reason I don’t entertain your delusional mind regarding the emails I received is because I DON’T HAVE TO.. Plain and simple..
Please. Please, I would welcome you to any show, in fact, I’ll buy you a drink as long as I can get you on stage and do what I do.. I thought you were not a songwriter, singer nor musician and for that fact alone. Shut UP! Keep up your kindergarden insults.. Wow, I’m posting them and PEOPLE are loving it..
Ok, Michael or Phil.. Come on out of your shell.. I am so much more STRONGER than you…
goodbye and good riddance..
Kat
ps.. by the way, The writer of that song was my friend Tim Easton.. Keep it comin :”Ryan”.. WE GROW STRONGER WITH EVERY INSULT!!!
Ryan,
While I can understand wanting to understand other viewpoints (and respect that in a person), I do NOT understand the need to belittle, insult and condescend. I can only surmise that it makes you feel better about yourself? It is very sad to see – and one of the reasons so many are turning away from the church. Just something to consider…..
One of us can spell… one of us can use proper grammar..
One of us can’t..
Kat, I never claimed to be a talented musician. I can play a little piano, and that is about the extent of that.
8,000 fans? That’s not alot of people, Kat..
Once again, this isn’t about your voice. We were talking about an important subject before you brought up the whole music thing.
Kat, you need to read what I’ve typed, and what you have typed.. then ask yourself… “Who looks like a moron?”
I’m not hiding behind anything. You never answered the real question about the rest of the e-mails from Michael and Phil..
I so appreciate that LOVE WINS! I know everyone will not like my music nor my looks “the tattoo” comment is just so juvenile! I am not trying to please Ryan..I have a hot hubby who loves my “tramp stamp”.. My message in this song shines directly towards Ryan and feel so sorry for him, not only for not “being able to get through”.. The truth hurts doesn’t Ryan.. but for going under your rock to throw kindergarden insults my way.. He is the shining example for this song.. I welcome critiques..I really do.. but Ryan made me chuckle.. I’m not losing sleep over some person who hides behind his computer and uses an alias spew out his diatribe.. I would love this “Ryan” to reveal himself and maybe his karma would come and bite him on the ass…
Thanks Love Wins…
Kat
“Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.†Bertrand Russell
Kat, Consider yourself blessed to not be a part of the “herd” right now. Do not stoop to Ryan’s level of hatred – you’re better than that. He (and others like him) listen to Michael DelGiorno and BELIEVE him, which should tell you the depth of his (and their) intellect.
I know personal insults are hurtful, but remember that people only resort to that level when they have nothing else to say. Trust in the energy-shift going on in the world right now – stand up for what you believe in, but DON’T engage with people like this because it is EXACTLY what they want and there is NO way to win them over – they’re too far gone.
I learned this the hard way, and maybe you’ll have to, as well, but I hope you’ll read my words and rise above it. You’re too good for this. You have a beautiful voice and much to share – but only with those ready to hear it. I can assure that MDG’s audience will NOT be amongst your fans – EVER. That is a HUGE compliment!!!
Ya coming.. Seriously, let’s meet in oerson. I’m not mad at ya either but would lOVE to put you in your place… only to have a little verbal discussion on not being talented! Maybe you can play the triangle on stage? Are you game? I’m simply making a point and to get you stage and we can see who’s not TALENTED..
You’re a JOKE!
I find you to be be so ignorant and you’re so funny.I’m actually laughing.. YOU MAKE YOURSELF LOOK LIKE A MORON the more your say I’m not talented…
Uh, 8000 fans at the Hollywood Bowl would disagree.. Hey, can you get up stage or have any remote talents? I know one.. You are talented at your rants and behavior..
sticks and stones HONEY.. sticks and stones…
I love how you feel the need to say you don’t need to defend yourself (which you don’t).. and then you going into a spill defending yourself.
That is precious.
I’m not angry at you, Kat.. I don’t even know you.
I just don’t think you are very talented. The tatoos really don’t do anything for me, either..
I’m sure you can sell records, and people ask you to perform with them. There are alot of untalented people out there that sell records.
As long as you are doing what you love, don’t stop.
This wasn’t about your singing though.. YOU turned it to that. It was about you saying Michael dedicated shows to you, when actually, he talked about you for less than 2 minutes, “five times”.. That’s 10 minutes, TOTAL. That is hardly dedication.
You didn’t answer my question of the other e-mails.. I really want to read those.
Ryan.
Come to my show..
I dare you!!!!
Ryan..
Tell Robbie Robertson of the BAND that,.
Oh, you are so SOUR grapes HONEY… I don’t have to defend myself nor justify.. Have you ever been on stage at the Hollywood Bowl? Uh, I don’t think so.. Oh, or ever been on tour with Tracy Chapman, Joan Baez. Lucinda Williams and Nelly Furtado.. II’ll be sure to tell them that I’m not a good singer.. Are you also going to beat me up after recess? I think you should check in with your local therapist for your apparent anger problem!
Who are you? I LAIUGH YOUR FACE!!!!
I think Michael is a good guy.. just because you don’t agree with the things he believes doesn’t make him a bad person.
You are right, a debate with someone of your stature would be a waste of both our times.. it always is.
I’ve heard Michael say things that I don’t agree with, or that I thought crossed the line. This is my point: It is his show.. its a free country (for now), and he can say what he wants to say to get his point across. No matter what you or BWLIB think. It isn’t up to you. You can take 10 minutes here, ten minutes there, from his show.. but you can’t get the full effect of what he is discussing without listening to the entire day.
The fact that you liberals are so threatened by him makes me respect him that much more. I’m glad there are people out there like Michael, Ralph, and Phil Valentine.. that are speaking the way most of us feel, in an open forum. It is good for America.
Ryan, It always comes down to this with me in these conversations. The fact that you could listen to those podcasts and STILL defend someone like him makes any kind of debate with you a waste of my time.
You put quotations around my name.. I don’t understand that… I’m a real person, and my name is Ryan.
none of those shows seemed “dedicated” to Kat..
Mentioned her, maybe for a minute and a half max.. but not dedicated.. not hardly.

Here you go, “Ryan”. I have all of his shows in my archives, so let me know if you need anything else.
He refers to “7″ emails between he and “Kat”, and as Kat clarified, there were more AFTER the show.
Kat, you only listed one response from Michael..
Do you not have the 10 e-mails he sent you? What about Phil, what did he have to say to the garbage e-mail you sent him?
I’m interested in those.
BWLIB, you are always talking about someone else lying, and talking about what everyone else does wrong. I must ask you to show me one of your blogs that has a solution in it. You see, liberals are always complaining about something, and never offer a viable solution. You speak on account of your emotions, and that is a very, very sad way to go through life.
Kat, I’m not “honey,” I’m Ryan. I don’t call you out of your name (only BWLIB deserves that). I couldn’t make it through the entire video. I don’t know who told you that you can sing, but your Mom may have lied to you. Sorry to be rude, and the tramp stamps are not attractive. That is NOT ladylike.
I never remember hearing about you on Michael’s show. Granted, I don’t get to catch the whole show all of the time, but I don’t remember it, at all. If he mentioned you, that doesn’t mean he dedicated his show to you. I’ve never heard a single show that was on one single topic.
You liberals are always saying how “unchristian” someone is, or whatever else you shall call it.. I don’t understand what gives someone that right. You don’t know these people’s hearts, and you don’t know what they stand for. When someone who thinks it is ok to kill babies calls someone else un-Godly.. they don’t have much credibility.
Sparky, have you ever hit a golf ball? Michael is somewhere around a 10 handicap.. that takes an athlete. How far do you hit your 8 iron?
I’m pretty sure “Ryan” IS Michael Del Giorno – only he himself would describe himself as “halfway athletic” – LOL.
by the way,
I’m not the one who was so distraught with my input on his ridiculous show.. that he had 5 shows dedicated to ME.. Uh, honey, I believe I got under his skin.. But alas, it only empowers me more.. he uses the word “hate” and “vile” to describe me, telling people he would “kill in the name of freedom” which is one of the lines in the song.. Talk about shining example…huh, doesn’t sound like a “christian” to me.. if fact Ryan, you don’t know my religious background and happen to know A LOT about the christian faith. I have MANY friends who are of the faith and I love and adore them.. They understand where I was coming from with my song.. They “get it”.. and if you could open your HEART AND MIND.. you would HEAR me too..
Poor you…
Some words of wisdom..
One can be a good moral person without religion!
Imagine there’s no heaven…
John Lennon.. I’ll show you “ladylike” honey..
I;ll pray fir you as well..Allah, Jah, Budda etc…
You are the VERY REASON for my video.. listen to the lyrics..
Jesus Protect me from your Followers.. Thanks Ryan, you are the pure example!!

THIS IS FOR MDG..
Loony or not, everyone has a Constitutional right to worship – or not worship – they way they choose. What they do not have a right to do is to lie and spread fear about other religions to further their agenda. It’s irresponsible and it is what Michael DelGiorno does on a daily basis.
Kat.. Michael isn’t fat or miserable. He’s halfway athletic and has a beautiful family. I don’t know where you got your information, but it sounds like you are upset at him for some reason. I’m sure he hasn’t lost nearly as much sleep as you have.
Kat, you should clean out the dirt from your fingernails. That isn’t lady-like.
Sparky, yes I believe that Jesus is coming back, and I will pray for you. The Bible is a great book, you should check it out. Let me guess, you pray to Allah?
Or, maybe you have no faith, at all? That is a loony theological concept… no faith.
Ryan – Are you suggesting the Rapture is NOT a loony theological concept or do you believe in the fairy tale, too?
Ryan,
Not sure how to take your response..I agree, the FAT MISERABLE WANKER MDG is not worth the dirt underneath my finger nails yet it was so much fun saying my peace. Like I said, if you can dish out bullshit then one needs to learn how to take it.. without MUTING or HANGING UP on a caller..
Thanks
Kat.. you really told them. I bet they are going to not be conservative anymore. You should be proud.
BWLIB.. your blogger called the rapture a “looney theological concept”.. is this really a person worth basing a blog on?
You are way out there.
I have reently started posting small brief articles on the misguided logic used by raido talk shows hosts.

Kat, please keep us posted on any further correspondence with MDG or Phil.
Today I heard a more hypocritical DelGiorno than I have ever heard before. He was talking about the Muslims who are gathering in Washington to pray today and he wondered, outloud, why a religious group was going to DC and taking a stand on policy. Is there a Islamic position on education? Healthcare? Economics? He asked incredulously.
I guess one can only take a religious-based position on public policy if one is a Christian and on the radio 5 days a week and wants to scare the living daylights out of people.
Sheesh.
Beth, Mr. Kennedy said it on his blog at http://mdpkennedy.blogspot.com/2009/09/someone-call-guys-in-white-suits.html
This is my comment back to him.. He sent me 10 emails after the show and I told him to go crawl underneath his rock!
Are you kidding me? It’s way too late to start complimenting me weirdo!
Leave me alone and never contact me EVER!
Have you ever heard of a restraining order?
Get a clue buddy.. I have blocked you from my email and if you try elsewhere I will most defintely take further action!
You SCARE me and you have absolutely nothing on me..
The more you write me.. I just gain further evidence to give to the PD so don’t threaten me..
Again, don’t contact me
You are CRAZY so please stop cyber harrassing me!
Best of luck on your show
Kat
I’m actually now afraid for my family after reading all the negative articles and domestic violence arrest!
This is his response back to me.. What a fat wind bag.. not to mention UNEDUCATED!
As for foul language…I was “quoting your filthy mouth”, not mine.
As for all your emails, I have saved and plan to make a shinning example of
you! On the air and off with authorities if necessay.
By the way, I want our last exchange to end on a positive note; I listened
to a few of your songs….I actually love your voice (songs were a little
coffee shop), but really unique, rich vocals! I think your gift is
singing…NOT facts or research!

This guy went on to do FIVE.. YES FIVE SHOWS ABOUT ME!!!! Uh, I must have struck a nerve cause for someone who called me VILE, A LESBIAN (because I believed in gay marriage).. I am a STRAIGHT woman who is married with two children and told me I was “depraved”.. WHAT.. then complements me on my music and voice.. WHAT A FREAK…

Hello,
I called in finally after TWO years of listening to this ignorant man SPEW his venom and then turning around and calling himself a “christian” this is the same man who got thrown out of Tulsa Ok, arrested for domestic violence and telling the public ON AIR that he would kick every Muslim’s ASS till kingdom come.. THEY HUNG UP ON ME when I gave them a taste of their own medicine.. I put Phil Valentine and Fred Thompson in their place and they couldn’t take it so they MUTED ME and then HUNG UP.. Such LOSERS!!! This is what a wrote the station..
Phil,
I have listened to your “BACKWARDS CONSERVATIVE” radio station for awhile and actually listened to a show to it’s entirety many times.. something I don’t think any of you all could do and I am sure it’s because you have to open your small minds and mentalities to listen to another side. That’s what’s called being a LIBERAL! .Along this point, it’s so interesting when it’s gets tough for you to answer any questions regarding your own intelligence about politics or your god fearing morality, you either say something ignorant or hang up.. or MUTE me just as you did to me today! I find it so interesting that you call yourself “Christians” and turn around and tell people how to live their lives, who they can or cannot marry. How self righteous and arrogant.. or how our President is wrong and doing so much DAMAGE! Are you kidding? Look at the past 8 years honey, You will see that the financial crisis was caused by the town idiot from Texas! Not to mention, all his cronies!
I also had a GREAT time calling out Fred Thompson who needs to check himself into a retirement home! Poor thing, can you say SENILITY! I mean really, his only beef with Obama was that he was reading off the TelePrompTer! That’s an intelligent point…NOT! Fred is so green with envy and the old fart wants so much to have the praise that Obama had the other night on Leno. One thing you said today to me was absolutely right, you are most definitely a conservative radio station who has NO idea what you are talking about! Perhaps your opinion , which is laughable considering how much EDUCATION you actually really do have in politics or theology!
Phil, have you gone overseas? I’m betting not. Hey, maybe you and the Sarah Palin can buy a cheap ticket to Europe for your first time out.. I’m sure you can check yourself into the local hostel.. I’m sure the EVOLVED people there can enlighten you a bit dear.. or maybe read ” Letter to a Christian Nation ” by Sam Harris.. It states how much hypocrisy there is in the world and you and your so called “news worthy station” are FULL OF IT.. Pure Bullshit!
99.7 is embarrassing and gives Nashville a BAD NAME! I challenge any of you to a political debate anytime and anywhere.. bring it ON! Just know, I have my group of the Nashville Blue-neck Mama’s. You know, I came here loving Nashville after leaving Los Angeles but this mind set is what scares me to death.. I have never been so disgusted and makes me worry about my girls and how I will have to tell them that there is so much HATRED and INTOLERANCE here but I KNOW they are in good company with close family and friends who are open minded people and parents that are much more broad in their horizons and want to teach them everything you are probably NOT teaching your kids. if I was your child, I would be ASHAMED of you!
I feel so sorry for you and your misguided information and stupidity.. I really do! Hey, I hear they are hiring at Fox.. or maybe you can get Rupert Murdoch to pull some strings..
Good Luck.. you will need it!

Where did Mr. Kennedy say this, Mary? Was it a letter to you or printed somewhere else?
