Is Scott "the Bigot" - For Real?
« on: December 04, 2011, 12:58:24 AM »

So, I have heard this "Scott the Bigot" call FTL about half a dozen times now.  I'm not sure what to think about him.  Does this guy really believe what he says, or is he just playing us?

Some of my observations which lead me to suspect he is a faker:

1) He seems to be of average to above average intelligence (most people in the neo-Nazi / white power / skin head movements I have been exposed to seem very uneducated and not very intelligent).
2) Has reasonably good oral communication skills (most people in the neo-Nazi / white power / skin head movements I have been exposed to do not).
3) He is persistent and does not get upset during the banter with the hosts.  If he really has so much hate I would expect him to loose control occasionally.
4) He claims to never leave his house (at least I think this is what he has said).
5) He sometimes takes a long time to respond to questions to which one would think he would have the answers to on the tip of his tongue if National Socialism / Nazism is his true ideology.  Or maybe he is just careful because Ian and Mark are poised to pounce if he trips up.
6) There is at least one other caller who's voice sounds like he could be Scott, but who displays a more mainstream beliefs.  Maybe it is like the arsonist who likes to watch his fires from the crowd, or other criminal who is compelled to return to the scene of the crime?

I know someone not as extreme as him,  but similar in real life. Bigoted, semi-intelligent, stays at home all day long.

I'm 99% sure scott is for real.
point #1:
I don't think he is actually part of any of those racist groups. I think his racist views come from living a very sheltered life in which he inherited his narrow view from a racist family.

point#2:
He may be able to speak fine, but he's more of a broken record, always returning to the same point. Which could be a sign of a lack of communication skills.

point #3:
He could have some kind of a mental disorder, handicapping his emotional depth. Which would also explain his racist view, someone with more of an emotional capacity is less likely to be so narrow & racist.

point #4:
Someone with such social and emotional handicaps is more likely to live a very sheltered life.

point #5:
This may his emotional response missing in point #3. Instead of an outburst, he just shuts down. Also sometimes people who are challenged, like scott, 'lock up' and go blank when 'put on the spot' and questioned.

point #6:
I'm not exactly sure which caller you are talking about, but I do vaguely recollect someone similar sounding. But in my life I have come across many people with a similar accent. Scott has a fairly common accent for the north east US. But this point is the only 'chink' where I'm only 99% sure.


IMO Scott suffers from some kind of developmental disorder, which doesn't reduce his actual intelligence, but handicaps his emotional and social abilities. I have a particular disorder in mind, but I don't want to give others with the same disorder a bad image by associating scott with them. He has probably never lived away from home, and had very few if any real friends. On one hand I pity him, but on the other hand he's really annoying. What he needs is really intense therapy. He is a un-well person.

I think he's sincere, he believes his crap because he's isolated from the rest of the world. He's like a tyrant stating his beliefs are law. That's how he calls in, he's got a well reheased list of how things are as he sees them, and how he'd fix them to where he thinks they ought to be. He's got it all wrote down before he calls, then wants to read what he wrote. Ian doesn't manage to get under that, I don't think. I heard him on a Sunday with Stephanie, she was making more progress. But, like Ian said the other night, they thought they were making progress years ago, then he backslid.

By the way, Kelvin, your calls to FTL rock, I wish I could call instead of just listening to the podcasts!

Thanks Bill!  I do try to but some thought into my calls.  Sometimes I pull it off and sometimes I don't.  Glad to know that sometimes I do!

Best Wishes-

I think the guys take Scott's calls and talk to him so that all of us liberty people can bash a racist and feel good about ourselves. To me, its like constantly taking a call from someone who claims that dragons live under cowboy hats and all
good dragon-hating-muslims must call the ghostbusters and ask for PETER. Yes, using capital letters. Then, have a bunch of people call in and ask questions that sound like comments.

I think that Scott's type of racism is virtually dead in America. Yes, there are racist nutbags out there. But if Mark and Ian think the "truther" movement is dead, surely they must think that blatant nazi styled racism is dead.

Lets all move on.

Unfortunately neither is truly dead.  I've met several people who believe both of these things, even in California.

I still think Scott is used as punching bag to make the rest of us feel oh so good about our non-racist selves. "Look at me, I called someone a bigot today! I am the change Dr. King dreamed of."

His ideas are dead, in America. Yes, there's obviously a few morons who think the Jews are taking over the world. But there will likely always be the village idiot. Its just now they can all meet on the internet. Creepy.

Some of the co-hosts take Scott to task really well. Ex: Derrick and Michele. Scott has trouble being directly mean to the people he hates. I kind of just feel sorry for the dude.

i called in last week voicing my feeling about Scott.  How I didn't like him and thought his calls were getting old and hard to take.  I know it may have seemed to the hosts I was giving them a raft of shit about it but I was truly just expressing my thoughts and feeling about it.  the call went well I think.

thing is.  The last time Scott called last week.  It was actually a really good call and for some reason I saw him differently.  The way he acted.  He just seemed like a person to me.  A flawed one.  But I felt I saw a part of him that, I don't know how to put it.  He seemed just like another human to me.  I don't know if Im making sense. 

but it was good radio.  Just wanted to related this thing I noticed that call.  We are all just people.  Hate is wrong but I do know from personal experience.  I shouldn't judge anyone.
peace
