Outstanding! I saw some anti-PETA commercials on Fox News last night--hit the nail right on the head! This group (consumerfreedom.com) is circulating a petition to the IRS to revoke PETA's tax-exempt status! We all MUST go sign a petition...it only takes a couple seconds. The petition is at: http://www.consumerfreedom.com/petaPetition.cfm If anyone saw the ad last night, you know how great it was. Kudos to Fox for running it--you never see ads like that.

Nonprofit Watchdog Files IRS Complaint Against Greenpeace, Seeks Federal Probe - Greenpeace Violates Tax Laws PipeLineNews.org - A nonprofit watchdog group today filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service against Greenpeace on Monday, urging the agency to investigate the environmental organization. In a report entitled ``Green-Peace, Dirty Money: Tax Violations in the World of Non-Profits,'' Public Interest Watch detailed how Greenpeace -- one of the nation's most recognizable and visible non-profits -- is knowingly and systematically violating U.S. tax laws. At the heart of the matter is the way in which Greenpeace's complex corporate structure masks its misuse of...

In June, Pacifica Radio's Los Angeles station, KPFK-FM, hosted a thirty-hour marathon of Dr. Kwaku Person-Lynn's anti-Semitic "Afrikan Mental Liberation Weekend."  It was the first time this once-annual program appeared for almost a decade. It had been banned by station management in 1993, after a long, hard-fought pressure campaign to remove it.  Afrikan Mental Liberation Weekend typically includes claims that the Jews disproportionately participated in the slave trade and persecuted blacks; in the past, he responded to criticism by calling the regional director of the Anti-Defamation League a "psychotic, idiotic, European Jew."   He has regularly played tapes by Nation of...

Does anyone have much information on this radio station other then Pacifica being the owner. I am especially looking for any wrong doings of the station and here is why...... My friend and I were having a heated discussion last night about the current situation in Iraq and the world events. He is a conspiracy guy and gets a lot of information from online conspiracy websites. He also get a lot of information from WBAI and he suggested that I take a listedn because they are not owned by big business and or the government and they have no hidden...

<p>A few weeks ago, Amy Goodman played master of ceremonies at a peace rally in Washington. Later that day, she attended a different antiwar protest, involving many of the same people, this time doing interviews for the show she hosts on Pacifica Radio -- and wound up getting arrested outside the White House.</p>

So I heeded a suggestion made by a peacepuke to listen to 90.7 KPFK here in Los Angeles. I encourage everyone else within earshot to do the same. And I urge you to call. Here was my experience. Their one host explicitly stated that he does not think people should support the troops because they are doing the wrong thing, and why would you support someone like that. The next host named Don claimed after a call about supporting our troops that he assures the audience that the entire staff supports the troops. Obviously, nobody there listens to their own...

Two sides of the dial tackle war Talk radio stations air opposing views By ALLAN TURNER Copyright 2003 Houston Chronicle It's hard to think of Montrose's somnolent, tree-lined Lovett Boulevard as a political war zone. But with the United States eyeball-to-eyeball with Iraq, the street has become Houston's ideological ground zero -- home to radio stations that have become broadcast bastions for the pacifist left and the hawkish right. Separated by less than a city block, KPFT-FM, a listener-supported champion of "progressive" causes, and KPRC-AM, a heavyweight of right-wing talk programming, have marshalled thousands for rallies and marches that aired...
