Do you think Catholic should be barred. From working in emergency hospital rooms as smart to Coakley has been suggesting.
would not Cindy I'm gonna say they'll.
97%. Season Manning -- how many Catholics there might be in Massachusetts by the way. -- no.
You know this is what I call celebrating diversity you know Martha Coakley is not just the Democrat apparently -- moment. You don't they -- people. Don't know they don't learn any more in the high school about the no nothing party. When the Irish Catholics are coming in the state back in the 1840s there was a party that took over the entire state for 41 election won election. And it was called the know nothing party not because they didn't know what -- thing it was because whenever they worked. Asked about anything you were supposed to say I know nothing like sergeant Schultz. In. They hated Catholics. Who are. -- what how -- but hopefully talking about banning -- Lex from the emergency -- any different from let -- know not big party her name is called colleague. Last time I checked that was an Irish name that was a Catholic -- Is she thinks she shouldn't be allowed to work and the -- if you believe in. And in Catholic doctrine you should not be on how to work in the in. In an emergency room access how -- is the where where is where where is beyond the outcry here.
1877469432. To joining us now is Ken Pittman he's the one who was involved in that interview that amazing interview. Where we're where where Martha Coakley said said this are you there cab I am hi how are yet very good very good you use sounded. Stunned. When you heard -- say that while Ike you know the reason I.
Chose the question that was based -- on spoke with one of Mike when my callers. And as you know friends -- asked me to frame a question a certain way about the conscientious objection. Issue and based on her hands. Going -- describe -- I figured that -- there was going to be someone interest -- but I think Jim did yourself.
I I don't I don't understand this I mean how could it be that you know this is a woman who thinks that a terrorist. You know has a right to it to a public defender. You know should be should be apprised of his Miranda rights. It and yet if somebody hasn't as a belief about the abortion. She wants them banned from us from the emergency room it's it's just be the ultimate. This the the ultimate. Destination of the Democratic Party.
It's remarkable. AA and you know I just said they -- Panama unveiled may be the secular progressives. This is the secular progressive and inside a Martha you know I I got to then after I got. You heard too elaborate a little bit on her mission accomplished in Afghanistan. That it in non. You know and in the debate I can do this if I talked about. Winfield in Somerville I talked about things I think that she wasn't forced to talk about another -- is I think she felt safe. On WB SM in the Bedford not to I notice that she didn't make these kind of America and how -- our show.
We've asked her over over again can now. -- you know about put you down by the -- she won't you're right she won't come on our show she walk on most people's shows I was into its market not up in Boston so I think she does -- here on Miami. You know I get a friend of yours -- in the studio makers McCarthy. Yeah secret site you -- it -- I -- Good good -- listen to what what was their response when when she said basically if you're Roman Catholic may -- don't wanna work in the emergency room.
Laughter I pick -- jar off the ground high end of I said look come. I understand what you're saying that there's no way that you can you could possibly asking hospitals to vet out people who have religious convictions I said something like that. Anyway I've done all the adult things on gentlemen dot -- when I walk up this morning it had gone viral it was there must have been six and -- links from anywhere from media matters to The Washington Times to read the Drudge Report even has an annulment.
Right -- idea. Peter -- told me about it this morning at 7 o'clock on WCR and AM 830 it's I. I can I couldn't believe that hey you all again. This is the woman that -- you know your your younger that she and I but but we were up you know she'll -- the same -- you know. -- disposal -- long. Long since beyond this world where people are are you know holding this site kind of anti Catholic bigotry she's like. It was -- she's saying is -- she's saying that basically you're I. Hey if Chuck Schumer says that I mean it's appalling enough you know that you off your pro life you you should be considered for federal court judgeship. But you know here again we come from from the -- The the same background. She should know better than that.
absolutely I mean a lot there's a lot of devout Catholics. In this state doesn't reflect in the in the elections normally but the look I I think what's happening here -- and you can correct me if I'm wrong but. I think that the Democrats -- Republicans have been asking a question for thirty your duty of forty years how far they -- willing to follow the Democratic Party. I think they're tapped into that well of support and now we can hear that the pebbles hitting the bottom. You know I -- some I'm just sorry I didn't get to the real question which is some. You know she's the attorney general of Massachusetts. It looks like she witnessed an assault battery. -- now part of they don't snitch ground.
And I'm just saying no I I agree I agree I was thinking about the fact that you know mighty mighty surge in the guy who replaced my hip who were placed. That's -- of us Senator Kerry steps his name is Burke. The -- what did she won a PM this guy AME won only one of the best orthopedic surgeons in the United States -- urgency wrote it's lost.
It look the abortion issue the abortion scenario. Is really the only one we are asking people nurses doctors that that's a calling hasn't it hasn't had -- calling in life. You're asking them to go against their oath they probably signed up and his dog Ella training. It's had to do good and help people and save lives this is an issue where. You're taking -- no they're not agree with the value of that life. You're you're forcing somebody hit it without legislation like Scott brow is participating -- To have the ability to say you know what I can't help you here but I'll I'll find somebody who can't and and I think that's crazy right.
And and the other thing is it two Q were part of a kid Pittman for mud that we DSM in the Bedford and he's the one who got Martha Coakley on this on this statement where she said that the you know maybe if Catholics are devout. Maybe they should bestiality emergency room can you imagine her saying this -- any other religion I mean you know did pick whatever religion you want. But it there's no way she would say this about any other.
Widget she said no we have a separation of church and state chemist declare and I civil on emerges as a separation of church and hospital right now we don't think that's in the constitution now I'm. It is W religious freedom and she said. The law says that people are allowed to have that you can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn't work. In the emergency -- now. Media matters is trying to clean this up. Been caught right wing you know through disinformation. Campaign minutes let's.
We know it our all anybody has to do was listen to it in this press saying no it doesn't matter if -- like you know -- whatever religion you are this this woman is saying. That if if you have to. Deeply held beliefs about abortion then you should step away. But she's not saying this about anybody else anybody else's religion just about. Christians. You listen to how -- car from Boston's WR KOL we've Russell broadcast new line down here in the south coast knowing. I'm glad to hear that I'm always glad to hear that you know -- I haven't gotten to winning numbers from from the south coast about a how many people voting absentees there's not much time left about to up 45 minutes after 45 minutes. But our how for the absentee ballots are coming in enough Falwell ever have to -- for.
We'll have to pry them from their bitter cold hand side. I'm I'm thinking but you know are you and I just so right it does mean on the night. We are which we were talking about this -- in in early September when we were together at the Phoenix park hotel doing the doing needed the radio row. They may have thrown their best candidate away and Steve lynch who wasn't on board this health care plan.
Right exactly yeah I used said that -- Steve lynch is a guy who's what what used to be called a normal Democrat. If he's in he was saying I you know I don't mold that they you know I'm mob not abort for this health care plan. And guess why it turns out the most of the up people that he represents and people who have union cards and then I'm I'm one who had a union card for thirty years I mean. They don't want to be punished for having a good health care plan and -- and and yet now they're stuck with this. This woman who why you know who only has one thing in her favor I am woman hear me --
All I'll say this I asked John Walsh that these democratic chairman of messages ask this question today. They are now apparently gonna get some sort of exemption if you're -- union collective. Bargaining agreement if it's such a great plan for this for this country then why are there are those operatives asking for an exemption from the plant.
Right exactly and you know I in Jordan Apollo -- the judge on Fox News Channel I was I was with them the other day you know party talking about this on his radio show what he said. No court in the country will allow will allow this to go forward I mean this is up flat out discrimination. You don't we have by equal protection on -- off thirteenth amendment -- at Sutter. You don't my feeling is go. What what is you know I mean I'm not I'm not that convinced the courts in this country you're gonna do the right buried amid a look at some arms of look at it 2 PM world right here he did seventeen years for crime that does everybody knew we didn't have met. It's a go to case and what not to do now what would these investigations yeah. Exactly what listen congratulations on getting your online about this and you know I hope that I hope that the papers will pick up on this I think that well actually.
You know my show ends at six I always jump on your show I love your show up there how we don't -- job hey thank you -- jail. Thank Howie -- Boston folks 18774694322. Again. You heard it there until we got pretty we get the sound cut will play it again this is. A a bid to held so long it looks like up to us you know last time I checked we were like 6070%. Of the population. This is this is based probably the second most Catholic state in the union after Rhode Island I think. And and she's saying you know maybe for a Catholic. You know you should you should not even take part in the emergency room. What's a severe would you pass that they had anything health care bill then head conscientious. Subject turned toward certain procedures including abortion.
It wouldn't I don't believe that would be included in the health care bill I don't understand is that he. Not I would not pass the -- as Scott Brown. Filed amendment could play good if people believe that they a lot of provides services that are required under the water and under which is where it was taken individually decides to not follow the -- The answer that we'll put that question is now. It's it's just exactly. -- that he quit because I'm filed an amendment include the one message you would put I would say. The hospital and emergency room personnel could deny emergency contradict contraception to women and we've been raped.
Right if you're Catholic and -- believe for the -- changes. You know of any form of birth control as a send. Hey you wanna do then done.
we haven't separation of church and they give them up because here yeah in the in the emergency rooms and your religious freedom. It doesn't want to read the -- but if so then you you could have -- auditorium didn't follow it shouldn't work at an emergency you -- mom -- okay.
Wow indeed.
You probably should work in the emergency room. You know again. If it durst if you're Chuck Schumer I mean we understand that he's that won't back right. He he says that there there should be a litmus test and the litmus test is and it's not just for Catholic. Is if you're a AA conservative born again Christian and if you're an orthodox Jew you shouldn't. Be even consider for federal judgeship OK I understand that we're not voting here. For Chuck Schumer but we are voting were given the choice of voting for Martha Coakley and she says. Hopefully room that name Coakley. Last time I checked that's kind of an irishman. I believe. That nominally she is Catholic you know and and I -- not great Catholic I understand I'm not a devout Catholic I understand that. I admit that. But the fact that she says you should block away from the emergency room where does she stand on on yeah you know what people might be allowed to wear bark press. At the mass college of pharmacy I daresay that you would be willing to file on. A friend of the court brief. On behalf of the the Muslims that want to war be allowed to wear -- At the a mass college of pharmacy even though there were. Hygienic issues even though there are issues of well I hate to be. You know. Branded as a as a big hit here but you know be the last terrorist who was arrested in Massachusetts. The guy who alleged terrorist who wanted to to allegedly. Bomb. In chewed up the Natick mall. He was a graduate of the mass college of pharmacy but I'm sure that she would be in favor. But it sure would go to the Mac -- go to a whole wall for protecting this guy or anybody else wonder where Barca. At the mass college of pharmacy. Now Catholics. Get them back in the back of the bus get off the boss well alongside the -- 18774694322. Of talk in Iowa took him oral care. He is he's he's the guy who YE a mean talk about the back of -- this guy did seventeen years. For crime but he did not commit and you -- again you know anybody can get railroaded. There's no question about that we all we all know cases if -- normal the people involved we know. We -- bottom we've seen them. It's one thing to get railroaded and to have the you know what a miscarriage of justice it's another thing after the after the miscarriage of justice has become clear. To have somebody goal took a governor or the acting governor in this case and say. I think you should leave this guy in prison that cookie we did is that would have to deal with a month ago.
question no question I mean even in -- she talks about accountability and and one thing my family wished that she be accountable to watts. And and do the right thing you know be accountable for the mistakes she made in this case that is so evident now after all these -- everybody knows. Seventeen years I mean that's that's a quarter of your life long time I went in America 31 and I -- when I was fifty. And and again she had nothing to do with the original conviction correct but she couldn't she could've helped she could've at least. Stood aside and let you get out earlier right there's no question I mean she could have she could have been you know not gotten away. Of my mother and sister being released not make in these deals where they can't talk to the media supposedly this is like a gentleman's agreement between her in my system. You know that you know it seemed like that if she. You know wouldn't if they didn't talk it was a -- she sold my sister -- my mom their freedom for this silence. She set out you know I'll let you know I won't appeal this revise or revoke as long as you don't appear -- case anymore and you don't talk to the media. And you know it didn't sit well with a lot of people are --
in other words he you have to dummy up you're you're you're a mother and your sister were told the dummy up and you know you you can you can get out if you won't. Hell are you were screwed exactly by the by the the justice system of Middlesex County exactly which is the justice system meeting Tom Reilly. And Martha Coakley. Squashed and that's got harsh words. 18774694322.

understand it's amazing. That's the whole thing in my case it's not an evidence case is no evidence in this case and I wish I wish there was can make it showed there was in my evidence so what -- by and then I could be freed. Cleared but this this cases. Up front fuel leaks you know it's. Circumstantial case railroad all right it's exactly I mean you have the word of a little -- children and 1877. Forcing.
