A Brownwood ASS Whooping on the airwaves of KXYL

Did you hear the "On Air" Ass Whooping this morning on the Brownwood airwaves of KXYL. ? Phil Watts, KXYL owner, came on the air of the morning show and let the two hosts ( JC and Jessee ) have a tounge lashing about the responsibility of the Talk Radio Station as it relates to their, and their callers, "on air" criticisms of Brownwood Republican Congressman Mike Connaway and other Elected Republican Leaders. Phil spoke to the issue of Brownwood / Brown County already having a "Black Mark" for not voting with the majority of the District in favor of Mike Connaway. Did Phil speak to this issue when Brownwood's previous Congressman, Democrat Charlie Stenholm, was contiounsly attacked and demonized on the KXYL airwaves on a near daily basis ? Phil seemed to have given Brown County Republican Spokesperson and Talking Head, James Williamson, Carte Blanche when it came to attacking the Democrats ! I guess things are getting pretty serious when the "Republicans" are calling in and challenging their own party and its leadership on the airwaves of Central Texas via KXYL ! Now I better understand why the KXYL afternoon hosts, Republican J R Williams and Democrat Sam Coursey, keep their distance from all of the Republican Scandals, Corruption, and Immorality that is being uncovered across the country. I guess they don't want to be publicly spanked by Phil !

Call KXYL and request a tape of this mornings tape. Did KXYL owner Phil Watts infer that Republicans would treat Brownwood differently when they are challenged ? Is this a subtle version of BLACKMAIL ? Is this a Republican Value ?
