SAVANNAH, Ga. AP – A former Savannah talk-radio host said Monday he’s seeking the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic U.S. Rep. John Barrow in Georgia’s 12th Congressional District.
Ben Crystal spent six years on Savannah station WHBQ as an often acerbic host touting conservative politics and lambasting liberals under the pseudonym Ben Bennett. He was fired in 2006 after the station settled a lawsuit by a Chatham County commissioner who accused Crystal of slander.
