Although I commend Mountain Xpress on including all points of views, and everyone has a right to their opinion, I find Carl Mumpower's views to be so incredibly offensive, as well as inaccurate, that I will refuse to read any further commentaries by him! Thank God he is no longer on Asheville City Council; and he needs to see a psychiatrist.

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
Ithink Dr. Mum adds a good bit of local color to the mix and the MX should ut him on staf.
Let’s try that again …

Troy, just strive to be as intelligent and reasoned as Dr. Mumpower.
Mumpowers articles are right on! Thank you Mountain Xpress for being fair and balanced.
Also glad to see that Mumpower has his own radio show on 880AM. Monday’s from 4PM to 5PM.
THE MUMPOWER HOUR ROCKS!
I am delighted to see that Chad places the Xpress on a par with Fox News.
Stop stomping the facts, Nesbitt.
Mumpower does NOT have his own radio show. He is a regular guest on the Blake and Lesley show.
Stop stomping on Chad, David.
You and your “facts”. As we all know, Facts just push the Truth around.
Chad knows what is True. He can’t be bothered with facts…
You’re right, Barry. When am I ever going to learn that blind, ignorant ideology trumps everything?
I’ve got a pool going on how long it takes to shut this thread down.
And, Chad gets so giddy writing about Dr. Mumpower. I think somebody has a man crush.
I receive Dr. Mumpowers “Conservative Minute” podcasts…while I don’t agree with all of them, frequently, his “tough love” point of view is spot on, in my opinion. Dr. Mumpower is no coddler, and some may find that offensive.
I think Dr. Carl crossed a dangerous line when he started referring to Obama as “President Boo.” I quit listening to his podcasts as soon as I heard that.
Hmmm, I missed that one….care to post a link?

Just ask him a direct question and require he back it up with facts. POOF! He’ll go away.
Don’t call Chad a poof.
Mumpower revealed himself as blatantly pronatalist and thus totally antienvironment. One must wonder if his blatant pronatalism extends to illegal immigrants and welfare mothers or is limited to city employees thereby making him a eugenicist as well as a purposeful polluter.
Carl Mumpower hates puppies and has been known to interact with unsavory characters. He is to be hugged and kissed until he returns to a human state.
But not by Chad, who is not a poof.
I feel like, at this point, both Mumpower and Mumpower’s mini-me, (Chad), have opened their mouth too much and lost all political credibility. We can give them the conselation prize for being Asheville Characters now. However sickening, they still make us laugh a little. Im sure that will get old after they say a few more things though.
“Just ask him a direct question and require he back it up with facts. POOF! He’ll go away. ”
I don’t want him to go away. While Chad and many conservatives claim liberals wish to silence them, I hope they continue to talk and write, louder and more often. It both exposes their ignorance and is HILARIOUS (I’ve got a caps lock too)
