He’s selling snake oil to a carnival of fools.

Which brings me to this question: Why are so many commercials on conservative radio for things that border on scams?

Rarely do I hear ads for trucks, groceries, or anything like that. It's usually "Call us and we'll settle your $10,000 IRS bill for $12!!!". Or "Protect your identity before it's stolen by the gypsies!!!".

One never hears these ads on music stations, for example. Very odd.

If something borders on a scam, it’s at least one degree of separation from an actual scam.

Add this to the fact that both quotes you give are exaggerations, it seems the commercials are likely no more scams than those heard anywhere else.

I hear you. Man-said-God-Said is one of the worst.
Or Andy Willoughby. “How in the world are you anyway?”
Or the Biblical money code.

And last but not least, the baldness and male enhancement. As one Bellgab poster rhetorically questioned, “are there really that many limp d***s out there?”

[skinkinthegrass]

imho, many are on shoe-string budgets (who isn't);
they're filling "empty-spaces" and that thrumps all.
they'll hire "up-and-coming" air talent (cheaply).
we had one talker, who lasted an year, if that.

Because that demographic might have a few bucks that haven't been confiscated by the DC Oligarchy?

Normal companies can’t advertise on talk radio without being blasted and boycotted by the left.
