Pat Campbell: Oklahoma's Most Prominent Talk Radio Voice, Dies.

10/20/2021

Comments

 
  This morning we heard the news of Pat Campbell's death, after a 2-year bout with brain tumors & the complexed details he bravely faced.
 About two decade ago, a former public school teacher made a career change and became a talk radio personality. From 2004, 'til 2008, Pat hosted a show on Orlando's WFLF. Not long after that, he left Florida to take on the morning drive slot at Tulsa's hot new talk radio station, KFAQ 1170. 
  His arrival in Tulsa was timed perfectly for the impending 'tea Party movement', of which Campbell became a prominent voice and shaper of the Oklahoma conservative agenda.
  Oklahoma govt. became stridently conservative in 2010 with Republicans sweeping all statewide seats and taking strong bicameral majorities of the legislature.
​   Campbell was a fearless investigative interviewer who could cut through 'baloney' and press public officials to a raw honesty that many politicians found very uncomfortable and unnerving.
  Campbell also hosted some national media efforts and often played a key role as a top substitute host for syndicated shows like Rusty Humphries and others.

  Campbell himself was transparent in many aspects of his life; notably in his many stories of his upbringing in a good(big) Catholic family.  Pat was regarded as a personal friend to so many people whom he never  actually met. His candid communication and no-nonsense read on so many political and cultural issues, resulted in a public trust and leadership in the eyes of so many ordinary Oklahomans.
  I had multiple opportunities to collaborate with Pat on covering several issues. He often turned to SoonerPolitics.org as part of his prep for covering the big issues. 
Pat Campbell was also featured in SoonerPolitics, with his podcast archives.

   The departure of Campbell from the KFAQ lineup in May of last year left a huge void that the station management simply could not adequately fill and keep the format viable.  This year they switched to a sports format. 
  There are some others in Oklahoma who are continuing the role in conservative talk. One of them is Pat's longtime cohost, Eddie Huff.
  Eddie and I have produced a weekly podcast for several months. It's called FreshBlack.coffee .
  This Saturday I expect Eddie and I will devote a considerable amount of time in tribute to Pat Campbell.

    ​"No politician 'checks off every box" in your list of issues. You have to prioritize and use personal discretion regarding every current and future issue that you can imagine. Then you have to also judge integrity & consistency. A candidate's openness to study the issues & courage to think for themselves. Then you need to review their honesty & work ethic.  I respect any voter's decision, when they've informed themselves and took voting seriously." - David Van Risseghem

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
