Hi, I am an avid Podcast Listener. I moved from Seattle Washington to Germany around 13 years ago (just some background).
I cam across something I found, well, confusing. It's a Web site I found on Twitter, freetalklive/wordpress.com
There is a photo of Ian and Mark, well it's more like a banner, and this saying above them, WHITE AMERICANS, THE LEAST RACIST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD....
I do realize, and it does state, that this piece wasn't written by or endorsed by either Ian nor Mark, however, It was disturbing to me to see this BIG headline hovering over these two people whom I have been listening to for over a decade...
Does anyone know If Ian or Mark have anything to do with this webpage?
Am I missing something here? It wouldn't be the first time that I overlooked something....
Thanx
Mark from Pulverdingen Germany

no idea...I don't think americans are the least racist. Hell, every american can be different.

Sounds like an ironic statement, for sure....
I did follow the link, and you forgot to mention that "WHITES, THE LEAST RACIST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD" was followed immediately by "BY DENNIS PRAGER."
Context is everything. I'm going to go out on a limb, anyway, and make a few suggestions as to what "this might be."
1) The group of racists (who may not know they're racist) that ALREADY used the "FreeTalkLive" moniker to sell a hate podcast about five years ago.
2) A troll from this very BBS.
3) A troll of the radio show who is trying to be ironic about the "political correctness" of hosts such as Ian and Stephanie.
4) Just someone who wants to piss off the FreeTalkLive hosts and listeners to their show.
FWIW, it's easy to note that the blog owner is a coward, having left absolutely no contact information, etc.

The site seems to be gone. I sent them a nasty-gram a couple of weeks ago, telling them to remove my image.
