He was a customer of a former employer back in the 1990s. Actually was a pretty nice guy IRL.
I don't think his more rabid fans and detractors realized that most of his on air stuff was shtick, Ticom?
I really liked G. Gordon Liddy's show from that era. Gord was a first class nut, instructing his listeners regularly of the many way's to kill someone with a freshly sharpened No. 2 pencil.
In the wake of Ruby Ridge and Waco, Liddy told his audience re; the ATF and other three letter agencies, that came into play in these stand-offs, "Aim for their legs. They're covered in body armor from the waist up." That got the advertisers attention. Gord wasn't long for syndication after letting that one escape his lips.
