with lyrics including: "The fat man ever after has a martyr's place/ Let's all ignore whatever drugs he had...His death was unrelated to his injuries but still we hear the people sing police brutality/ lies go on bro la la how the lies go on." On February 26, 2008, Cunningham created controversy in his warm-up speech introducing Republican presidential candidate John McCain at a Cincinnati rally because Cunningham twice referred to Democratic candidate Barack Obama with Obama's full name, Barack Hussein Obama and called Obama a "hack Chicago-style Daley politician". McCain immediately repudiated Cunningham after being told about Cunningham's remarks. In response, Cunningham said in an interview with CNN following the rally: "John McCain threw me under a bus... I've had it up to here with John McCain. I'm joining Ann Coulter in supporting Hillary Clinton." Cunningham would continue to be a sharp critic of Obama; on his October 28, 2008 WLW show, Cunningham discussed the life of Obama's father Barack Obama, Sr. and then remarked, "... his father was a typical black father who, right after the birth, left the baby. That's what black fathers do. They simply leave." This remark has been cited as an example of hyperbolic, extreme rhetoric on talk radio. Another Cunningham statement that has been criticized was his claim on the January 4, 2009, WLW show that poor people "lack values, ethics and morals." These statements, also including comparisons between Obama and Hitler and suggesting that Obama wanted to murder Jews the way Hitler did, led to Cunningham being named "one of the most prolific purveyors of hate speech" by a left-leaning media watchdog group Media Matters. In October 2022, on his radio show Cunningham promoted the widely debunked litter boxes in schools hoax, stating that litter boxes were being provided in schools for students dressing up as cats to defecate in, while interviewing Ohio Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance. The Stooge Report A popular part of his radio show is known as "The Stooge Report," which begins with a clip of the Three Stooges harmonizing the word "hello" and Moe saying "quiet numbskulls, I'm broadcasting." This segment has Cunningham riffing on current events in a humorous way, often joined by sports talk host Bill "Seg" Dennison and anyone else in the studio. It lasts about 15 minutes and ends when Bill says, "Segman, get me out of The Stooge Report." at which point
