The left did indeed hate George.
George liked to remind his listeners that he was a Democrat. And that he had been a member of the NAACP since maybe the 1940s, invited by Walter White himself.
My job gave me plenty of opportunity to listen to the radio and I’d catch George every day, right after Paul Harvey’s broadcast over on KABC.
My mom used to snap and bark at the tv every time George Putnam came on. She was an ‘enlightened’ 60s lib who thought conservatives were some new kind of Nazi.
His claim to be a Democrat, and member of the NAACP, finally explains why she never changed the channel .. LOL
