To all my politically aware peeps in Alabama, did you hear what happened this morning between talk radio host Matt Murphy and Democrat candidate for Governor Parker Griffith? Apparently, Murphy questioned him about some past scandals on the air, and when the interview was over (off the air) the politician threatened the talk show host. Called him foul names and threatened to kick his @ss. Murphy said he felt physically threatened, and that Griffith was furious and like a caged animal. Not sure why someone with that kind of temper feels qualified to hold any kind of office at all. When questioned, Griffith apologized for his language, but said Murphy was wrong to take the private conversation public and to file a police report on the incident. al/news/index.ssf/2014/09/birmingham_radio_host_matt_mur.html Another report on the incident can be found here: yellowhammernews/politics-2/radio-host-says-democratic-candidate-ala-governer-verbally-assaulted-threatened-bury/ “He was furious. He was like a caged animal. I understand that we do controversial things on the show sometimes, but it’s rare for me to feel physically threatened in my studio, but that’s how I felt Wednesday. I thought he was going to hit me. First he threatens physical violence, then he threatens to damage my career. I filed the incident report because I felt threatened, but I also thought it was important just to get this on the record. I’m afraid what a man with that sort of temperament would do if he got into the governor’s mansion. Can you imagine what a man like that would do with the full authority of the executive branch, of the state troopers?”
