I forgot to add:
During his Coast-to-Coast incarnation 10 years ago, someone also made up lies about Art supposedly having been a part-time porno producer in Salinas, Calif, while he was working as a police dispatcher.
That was a big BS harassment campaign.
THEN, someone probably from the Phillipines took offense to something he said on the air and concocted a letter “from Art himself” decrying the very many ways that he hated Phillipino people. Of course that was and is ridiculous, as he was then married to a partly Phillipina woman and is now married to a full Phillipina.
But somehow that letter was circulated far and wide in the US Phillipino community, and he got very many death threats from that.
Very many times he had to explain how the letter was a total fabrication and had nothing to do with him.
I think these frequent campaigns against him originate in people who are nuts or who have very strong feelings about religion and can’t stand people who have a public voice and entertain ideas about spirituality that are different from their own.
I think Art is gone for good, this time.
He was an avid HAM operator, right? I wonder if he will still be using it?
