The links we posted yesterday about KSFO (a San Francisco radio station) and its merchants of hate made the print press today. On page 2 of the San Francisco Chronicle is a decent summary of the issue: KSFO shock jocks spew hate speech; blogger listens, records and sends clips to advertisers on the shows; advertisers pull ads; ABC (owner of KSFO) sends legal threats to blogger; Internet provider of blogger takes down site; other bloggers pitch in to help…
Yes, it’s hate speech, just the kind of radio hate used by the Nazis and the Hutus:
Some sponsors have pulled their ads, after hearing clips like one of KSFO’s Lee Rodgers suggesting that a protester be “stomped to death right there. Just stomp their bleeping guts out.”
The Chron didn’t provide links so I’ll help out:
Here is Spocko, the blogger, at his new site: here.
Here is the Media Matters article with links to get hold of ABC and others: Media Matters
p.s. Here’s a comment to our original post from an enlightened soul, a supporter, it seems, of stomping deaths:
To Hell with your “Reclaiming American Democracy”. Democracy is three wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner. It’s a liberal codeword for Soviet-style tyranny. How about reclaiming the American Republic? You’re the hatemongers here, not talk show hosts on KSFO.
