Liberals everywhere are up in arms after taking a Figure of speech literally. Some have even gone so far as to claim that Jamie Allman threatened David Hogg with sexual assault. This has resulted in The Sinclair Broadcast Group cancelling his nightly show on KDNL-TV Channel 30, an ABC affiliate. Jamie Allman has currently been suspended on his radio show. However, it sounds like their management is fighting to keep him on the airwaves. To sweeten the deal we have offered to sponsor Mr Allman’s show should they choose to keep him.

Even though we hadn’t asked for his removal or resignation, (Sinclair) took it upon themselves. People know where the line is.”
In addition to “The Allman Report” on KDNL, Allman also has a show on conservative talk radio station KFTK (97.1 FM).
Several businesses — including a Ruth’s Chris Steak House franchisee, the Gellman Team and PALM Health — pulled advertising from Allman’s shows over the weekend.
Newman said that her “efforts will continue” as long as Allman has airtime on…
