Rep.-elect Allen West, R-Fort Lauderdale, has picked Joyce Kaufman, a South Florida radio host with a history of incendiary comments, as his chief of staff, reports the Palm Beach Post. Kaufman’s website confirms that she has accepted the post.

Over the past four years, West is believed to have been on Kaufman’s show more than 100 times.

Doc Thompson, newly arrived at WLW, did a segment focussing on illegal immigrants being unfairly at the workplace.

He failed to call for harsh measures against greedy capitalists who employ them however, hoping he'll spread the emphasis around next time.

Then there was the reflexive "I love Israel" lies when a caller
accused the station of excusing
government subsidization of Israeli
invasion of Palestine. According to Thompson, a Brooklyn Jew with no evidence of family connection to the land for a millenia, has more rights to it than a native Arab, and he's not bothered by the US taxpayer subsidizing the continuing "reconquest" and all the enemies it makes us.
