Some of my readers might be familiar with Seth Grossman. Seth has been hosting a radio program out of Vineland, NJ on Saturday mornings [ON EDIT] and a new program on 1400 AM WOND out of Linwood, NJ. Until now, that is.

Seth’s new show has been abruptly shut down and he is blaming none other than Frank LoBiondo, as well as Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson.

My daily radio program messed things up for both of them. I told the details of how LoBiondo voted to blackmail President Bush into using union contractors for Katrina relief home repairs, end secret ballots for union elections, and waste billions around the country to get beach erosion money down here. I told how LoBiondo was one of only eight Republicans who voted for big new taxes on coal, gas, and oil – while banning offshore drilling for cheap oil.

I also talked of Dennis Levinson’s Boscov’s bailout, putting Democratic union leader Roy Foster in charge of the County Improvement Authority, etc. I corrected Levinson when he blamed Democrats for New Jersey’s $32 billion debt, when Christie Todd Whitman Republicans created roughly half of it.

Many of my listeners then multiplied the effects of my comments by calling these facts in to other talk radio programs. 

In last June’s Republican primary, LoBiondo and Levinson strongly supported “moderate” candidate for Governor Chris Christie. I backed conservative Steve Lonegan. Lonegan got 47 percent of the Atlantic County vote. If a strong conservative runs against LoBiondo next June, would LoBiondo want me broadcasting from both Vineland and Atlantic County?

We answered “Cui bono?” But did the suspects have the means to do it?

Did you notice how many radio ads are paid for with tax dollars? In one paid ad, Dennis Levinson reminds us to drive carefully now that schools are open. Another ad from some government agency to help small business thanks Frank LoBiondo for his support. Did you hear the recent ad from the NJ Broadcasters Association thanking Congressman Frank LoBiondo for opposing a federal law that would charge stations a new “performance tax” for all songs played on the air?

Weeks later, while discussing my theory with friends, I learned that LoBiondo is now saying that this is personal, because I attacked or insulted his wife on the air. But I didn’t, and anyone who says I did is either lying or mistaken. If you know any details, please contact me so I can try to figure out what Frank is talking about, look for the tape, and get to the bottom of this. Thanks.

The RINO LoBiondo is already a marked man with conservatives for his inexplicable ‘yeah’ vote for C(r)ap & Trade. Now, apparently, we have to wonder if he is also petty and thin-skinned.
