As much as I love Art - I don't understand his affection for a number of his regular guests - Fr. Martin was one. To me, that guy was just plain CREEPY.
But he was genuine. I know quite a few Catholic priests in real life and they take the whole possession thing very seriously. Everything Fr. Martin said on C2C was in line with mainstream Catholic teaching on demonic possession. It's also worth pointing out that in my experience, the majority of them are good people -- not just nice people, but genuinely awesome people, despite how they're depicted in the media.
As for Dames -- if you guys have the recordings of the Sept. 11, 2001 open lines show, that fuckbag Ed Dames called in and started spewing his bullshit that night. I mean, this was 14 or 15 hours after the attack itself, while rescuers were still pulling people out of the wreckage, and this reprehensible piece of shit can't even stop promoting himself for one day and act like a normal fucking human being.
If you listen to the show, Dames comes on around the second hour or so and tells Art Bell he's had some sort of remote viewing summit, where they combine their concentrative powers in a circle like motherfucking Aes Sedai from the Wheel of Time and shit, and he goes on to claim they had a vision of a cave in Kandahar where the attacks were planned.
He goes on to describe the cave, a tunnel through which it can be accessed, the building above it, and many other details. The question is, if this douche really thought he was seeing the headquarters of bin Laden and co., why would he be releasing that information on a public radio show instead of keeping it under wraps and forwarding it to law enforcement?
It takes a special kind of douchebag to try to capitalize on a national tragedy as it's happening. I would enjoy punching Ed Dames in the face.
