Chad Nesbitt Goes Full [REDACTED]
Posted by: | CommentsCross/guest post from The Bugg Blog
It’s been a few weeks, and that means (just like a particularly scorching case of herpes) that Chad Nesbitt has managed to dipshit his way back onto my radar again with another series of stupid antics. This time Nesbitt has his own blog, and is attempting to ruffle local feathers by unleashing his own brand of typo-laden whit. Seeing as how this is myterritory, I have to crush it before it begins.
For those of you who aren’t aware of who Chad is, besides being the paragon of manliness that you see pictured above he is also the former leader of the local Republican party, who under his watch managed to not field a single winning candidate in an election year that was a Republican sweep throughout the country. Chad is a guy who used 9/11 to try to raise money for his party, and then after causing the local party to be investigated by the state decided to rip off handicapped children instead.
Now Chad’s latest target is the remnants of the #OccupyAsheville camp, which was located in front of City-County Plaza in Asheville NC. According to Chad and a few of his friends – not the same ones he was investigated for having an illegal high-stakes gambling ring with – the cost of the clean up from people camping will amount to well over $10,000. But that’s not all; in the blog post, Nesbitt mentions a random stranger passing along anecdotal evidence.

A little about AFM:
Asheville Free Media Is Ready to Take the Next Steps…
in becoming a model for community-based Internet radio that focuses locally but has worldly appeal. We want to program even more high-quality, curated music shows, more simulcasts, more local and hyperlocal news, and in general better serve both our local and world-wide audiences. And to do all of this, we really need your help.
Serving Our Community and Enhancing Our Capabilities
Asheville FM, a 501(c)(3) organization, was founded a little over two years ago by a dedicated group of volunteers, with equipment donated by Tufts University and private donors. Funded completely by underwriting, fundraising efforts, and volunteer contributions, we are now seeking to upgrade our existing studio and remote broadcast equipment, and generate funds to pay for an engineering consultant and associated expenses of applying for a low-power FM (LPFM) license in 2012. And, we would also love to be in a situation where paying our fees to the royalty organizations (BMI, ASCAP, SESAC, and SoundExchange) doesn’t completely wipe out the checking account.
Unique Content Curated By An All Volunteer Staff
Many of our shows such as “The AFM News Hour”, free-form music show “Tenor to Tabla”, poetry/spoken word show “Word Play”, and formless/new classical show “From Melody to Mayhem” have no parallels on local commercial radio nor NPR-affiliates here in Western North Carolina. All of our shows are curated by people who care about the content.

Thank you Asheville (and beyond)!
