Gee, what kind of action would they call for James Carville, Paul Begala and Bill Press? Sweet nothings??? Get a life O-W.

"The message that KXL is sending to communities of color, immigrants, and in particular to all people of Middle Eastern ancestry and to Muslims, is that you are not wanted in this country, that you have no value and that you should not expect any respect here,"

Nobody should "expect" respect, respect is earned.

Tell those people to listen to the local NPR station--I'm sure it's just what they want to hear. And also tell them that WE hate the crap on NPR and it's OUR tax dollars. Oh--and also tell them to BUG OFF.

Thank you (I'll tell them if I see them first).

I guess boycotting the sponsors was too much work.

Looks like the extreme enviornmental left-wing radicals are lining up against free speech again.

If you are not PC, you must be "hate radio"

Borders, Language & Culture. Can't take the message, change the frequency.

I've called my local NPR/PBS stations several times requesting equal time, an apology, balance, etc and they always to me to BUG OFF.

Maybe their sponsors are soap and laundry detergent. The sponsors wouldn't notice a boycott.

Smiley, as long as it is directed against Christians, conservaties,people who oppose the murder of the unborn and partially born, law abiding gun owners,people who oppose the homosexual agenda and republicans anthing goes.

It is open season on these groups. Not only do these people who are mentioned in the article along with the main stream media want people Savage off theair, they also want to get rid of Rush Limbau, Free Republic and all other conservative radio hosts they would like to see them killed or imprisoned, preferrbly killed.

The reality of the situation is that we are one democratic controlled Congress from them attaining this goal.

Once the democrats gain control of both houses of Congress their first act will be to enact a hate- crime law which will include hate speech.

The interesting thing about said law is that it will only be enforced against certain groups of people, [to wit] Law abiding gun owners,Christians, people who oppose the homesexual agenda, conservatives,people who oppose the murder of the unborn and partially born.

Mike Savage- great rants. Of course no one took up the offered air time-Mike would have shredded them. He's a tough guy. Funny too.

[E.G.C.]

Here are my thoughts on this subject.

Sport made some very good points in post #11 which are right along the lines of my way of thinking.

Of course any thing that is critical of the Democrats or the liberal or progressive agenda is always going to be considered "hate speech." And, what people are going to have to realize is that there is just absolutely no getting along whatsoever with the Democrats or these other groups. No amount of of judicial or legislative edicting is going to convince us to sing kumbya with them if we don't want to.

Hopefully, these efforts to defund this radio station will backfire on these groups.

Incidentally, there was a story in RR Online the other day about a group which tried to get an Atlanta radio station not to carry Michael Savage. the owner of the station invited the group to a debate live on the air about this but they turned it down. His observations were somewhere along the lines that they were just trying to manipulate thinga through the back door. They were going to iniitate a boycott cmapaign against the radio station's advertisers but they backed off.

"The content is an unbroken stream of hate and chauvinism directed against women, people of color, liberals, immigrants and in particular people of Middle Eastern heritage and people of the Muslim faith. We condemn this message of hate..." said Tom Nelson, spokesman for the Coalition Against Hate Radio

Put some ice on it....

""The message that KXL is sending to communities of color, immigrants, and in particular to all people of Middle Eastern ancestry and to Muslims, is that you are not wanted in this country, that you have no value and that you should not expect any respect here," said Mona Goode, spokeswoman for the newly formed Coalition Against Hate Radio."

Jeez, and they were able to understand the message so quickly too!

[Wphile]

LOL!

Coalition Against Hate Radio...??? Somebody has waaaay too much time on their hands.

Washington state's political correctness rampage is still in full swing despite the will of the people:

Tacoma council passes discrimination ordinance

Wednesday, April 24, 2002
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF
The Tacoma City Council yesterday voted 8-1 in favor of an ordinance that would make discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity illegal.
The dissenting vote was cast by Councilman Mike Lonergan, who made his objections to the ordinance clear to the public before the vote. Lonergan says he's against discrimination, but doesn't think sexual orientation needs to be singled out. The city had before passed an anti-discrimination rule regarding sexual orientation, but the law was overturned by a special voter initiative.
The new ordinance would amend the city's existing law, which protects people from discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, physical disability, marital status or family status.

Not a fan of Michael Savage, but believe that you are correct in that these fools should simply listen to NPR while driving their electric Volvo and sipping their soy milk lattes.

[gridlock]

From reading this story, you would think that Paul Allen has had his named legally changed to "billionaire Paul Allen". I kind of like that. It sounds kind of classy, you know.

From now on, you may all address me as "billionaire gridlock". I like the sound of that. Of course it sounds kind of like a traffic jam in Newport, Road Island, or something.
