Tom Stilson Blames Billy Long for Getting Him Fired at KWTO

A few weeks ago, Tom Stilson attacked this blog after a discussion broke out in the Refounding Fathers Society that Tom Stilson was let go at KWTO. A member of the Refounding Fathers Society said Stilson blamed the end of his brief radio career on Billy Long. Stilson issued a tweet saying we should check our facts before printing it.

Well, it is interesting that on Stilson's own blog his father writes that it wasn't just Billy Long who was involved in getting Stilson fired, it was also Mavis Busiek, the head of Friends of Roy Blunt.

Robert Stilson writes:

Busiek and Billy were so fearful of Tom’s pragmatic, energetic and logical approach that even after Billy won the primary Busiek manufactured all sorts of rumors and innuendos regarding Tom’s character. Her efforts extended directly into Tom’s employment. Later, Busiek and Billy actually scratched their political claws into Tom’s effort to create a radio show that would ‘carry a clear, concise Conservative message’. These behaviors are symptomatic of the paranoid delivery system that describes Republican leadership here and across this nation.

About the only thing to question here is Tom's clear, concise conservative message. (Conservative is not a proper noun, but rather it is an adjective.) I say this because after Tom lost his election bid against Congressman Long, he began dishing out Federal Election Commission complaints to average Southwest Missourian voters for simply being engaged in the process. I don't find punishing voters who didn't support your campaign something someone of conservative character would even consider.
