I'm not sure if this is the right one or if there's a more appropriate trope to add, but Ghost employs a lot of hypocritical humor, or whatever the non-romantic equivalent is for Master of the Mixed Message.

Most common example is right on top of the page: "I am not a racist, I am a melting pot of friendship." Then he says he has all sorts of friends, then proceeds to describe them with a wide variety derogatory terms for different backgrounds.

I'm not sure which one this falls under but there's a lot of mixed messages in his style of humor. One example is how Ghost would claim he has done "extensive research" on gays, so that he can effectively "debate a gay." In the very literal sense, there's nothing wrong with this, but it sounds pretty close to an innuendo. There's more emphasis on the second syllable of "debate," and it sounds like bait or bate (short for masturbate).

His mixed messaging humor also obfuscates whether or not he genuinely is a racist. His politically incorrect humor, and how it's entertaining in itself whenever he admonishes a viewer posting or saying something racist - this would suggest that he is a racist. Off the air, it is more apparent that he draws the line somewhere, differing from how he presents himself on his shows.

Removed from main page, as there is a cleanup effort underway and I am not sure what to do with this entry:

Can be kept deleted as lacking context.

This article is inconsistent. On the main page quote, the line "I am not a racist" has a link to Blatant lies, indicating that Ghost is racist. However, on the Berserk Button entry, it mentions "racist" as "something he's not", indicating that he is not racist.

Which is it, TV Tropes?

He is, but got severely pissed on accusations he was. I made a slight adjustment, maybe that'll clear it up slightly.

Oh, the thread? Don't worry, it's just dead.

I've noticed a lot of the potholes on this and the surrounding pages to "Quote Mine" aren't actually examples of quote mining. A quote mine would be something Ghost said, but was taken out of context or trimmed somewhat. The average splice, though, is a very different matter.

Okay, I thought that the NCF {AKA the "Niggest Crook Force"} were the ones who hacked Ghost's twitter account and then made it look like Celtic Brony did it? That's what I keep hearing from people online, anyway.

Someone did it and later gave it back. Doesn't matter, really. Probably just an attention whore with second thoughts.

Trying to consider what namespace this work should be: Radio/ or WebOriginal/? I'm asking since this is internet radio, but I may be more inclined towards the latter namespace...

Can you get permanently banned from the chatroom? I'm asking because I have several ideas for chat names that would probably annoy him and I don't want to go to the trouble of making new accounts.

Dear Editors to this article

I have notice some inaccuracies in this article that, from a listener of Ghost perspective, that are eye bulgingly noticeable... First of all, Tzeki isn't one of Ghost's trolls or in this case "Sitcom Arch Nemesis", believe me, in the July 11'Th episode, Tzeki praised Ghost's new logo, would a troll do that? Plus I've shown him this article and even he says that it was a bunch of bull crap. Second of all, You have failed to mention the Internet Buttstalker, on the account that he was trolling Ghost for 3 years since 2009 when the show was called "True Conservative Radio." Third of all, in your Characters page, Suspicioustumbleweed isn't noteparty, I talked to them individually and they share nothing in common, besides listening to Ghost of course. I hope that these points will help this article in getting for accuracy

Sincerely,

A Concerned Citizen
