Title: "Lars Larson; Rosa Parks" radio episode
Description: An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin commenting on how conservative talk radio show host Lars Larson compared himself to African American civil rights activist Rosa Parks. AuCoin points this out as a fallacy, especially history-wise, stating how he can not see Larson being a civil rights activist during Parks' time. Further, AuCoin describes Parks as "soft-spoken" and Larson as more aggressive with his reactionary politics, frequently shouting down the opinions of callers on his radio show. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired between 2000-2003.
