Deflating right-wing radio, one way to do so

2008-08-28T14:38:48Z

Offering a rather whimsical suggestion on how best to (psychologically) undercut the message of conservative-leaning propaganda radio: Slipping in specimens of Old-Time Radio comedy when the message starts getting unbearably pathetic to the point of annoying.

What's Worse: Ludacris or Jim Adkisson?

2008-09-06T12:46:34Z

Catching flack for lyrics, Grammy Award winning artist/actor Christopher "Ludacris" Bridges is in the cross hairs of Fox News. While they were on the rapper, Jim Adkisson, a crazed man killed two innocent people (and it's believe that Fox News, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Michael Savage inspired him to kill).

Thanks for viewing and post comments at the bottom. As always, free yourself from the corporate owned media, and turn that television off.

After releasing "Politics: Obama is Here", Ludacris was condemned by the Obama campaign. Ludacris had released a freestyle embracing Barack Obama but slamming Hillary Clinton, John McCain and President Bush. Nemesis Bill O'Reilly [add Sean Hannity, Matt Drudge, Michelle Malkin, talk radio and Fox News] are all over it.

Jim Adkisson was a deranged man who had no path. He was inspired by the angry voices of the right wing radio and Fox News. I am aware that American media has major influences in the minds of many. But this man could have went further. I mean Blacks fear people like this because rappers and the conservatives on radio and television can inspire people to do harm to not only Obama, but McCain, Clinton, and the President.

So therefore, I offer my opinion, and give you an answer to those pesky questions about what Obama can do for me?

And since they are so worried about Ludacris being the next Black boogeyman: their Republican friend Alaskan senator Ted Stevens is indicted, Karl Rove is in contempt of Congress, President Bush is not catching media coverage, oil spill in the Mississippi River, China bans Internet, McCain release ad featuring controversial pop icons Britney Spears and Paris Hilton to get at Obama, and the research done by Thomas Moore Research claims that Obama faces more scrutiny in the media than McCain.

So much for that "Liberal Bias" mess!

So for all you dumbass PUMA supporters, conservatives, Republicans, and Obama-hating idiots....I got a surprise for you at the end.

To my supporters, they drove me to do this!

Right-Wing TN Church Shooter Is Fan of O’Reilly, Hannity, Savage

2008-09-06T14:28:27Z

On Sunday, 58-year-old Jim Adkisson entered the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church during a children’s performance of the musical “Annie Jr.” In a guitar case, he carried a shotgun and 76 rounds. Adkisson killed two church members, Greg McKendry (60) and Linda Kraeger (61), and wounded six more before he was wrestled to the ground as he tried to reload. What was Adkisson’s motive? From RawStory:

A report from the local Knoxville news details the findings from Adkisson's home, along with key statements from a document written by Adkisson related to an apparent motive behind the violent attack that rocked the suburban community:

"Adkisson targeted the church, [Investigator Steve] Still wrote in the document obtained by WBIR-TV, Channel 10, 'because of its liberal teachings and his belief that all liberals should be killed because they were ruining the country, and that he felt that the Democrats had tied his country's hands in the war on terror and they had ruined every institution in America with the aid of media outlets.'

"Adkisson told Still that 'he could not get to the leaders of the liberal movement that he would then target those that had voted them in to office.'"

If any of that sounds familiar, it’s because you’ve been hearing the exact same claims coming from the right wing's most prominent stars and spokespeople for years. It’s all there: liberals are ruining the country, Democrats are letting the terrorists win, liberals hate America, the liberal media is bamboozling the nation.

Carol Smallwood, a longtime acquaintance of Adkisson’s, said he hates “'blacks, gays and anyone different from him,” which is also consistent with right-wing ideology. In a four-page note Adkisson left in his car, he explicitly noted his hate for the “liberal movement” — the Unitarian Universalist church is well known for its liberal stances on homosexuality, civil rights, opposition to war, women’s rights, and multiculturalism. While another major cause of Adkisson’s rage was his inability to find work and having his foodstamps reduced, Knoxville Police Chief Sterling P. Owen IV noted "[Adkisson] did express frustration that the liberal movement was getting jobs."

And how do we know that Adkisson was a consumer of popular right-wing thinking? Anticipating that he would be shot by police, Adkisson left the door to his house open to make it easier for authorities to enter. He didn’t want his motive and the ideology it sprang from to be a secret. From the Knoxville News Sentinel:

Inside [Adkisson’s] house, officers found "Liberalism is a Mental Health Disorder" by radio talk show host Michael Savage, "Let Freedom Ring" by talk show host Sean Hannity, and "The O'Reilly Factor," by television talk show host Bill O'Reilly.

An Open Letter to Dr. Laura

2008-06-19T09:54:08Z

The following was spotted in a discussion thread on Media Matters for America vis-a-vis comments made by Michael "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder" Savage (nee Weiner) claiming that "children's minds are being raped by the Homosexual Mafia."

The which takes the form of a supposed e-mail to Dr. Laura Schlesinger, herself rather notorious for holding homophobic views in the name of "mental hygiene;" I have taken the liberty of tidying up the original for the sake of clarity and neatness:

Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding G-d's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to follow them.
a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
c) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
d) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
e) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
f) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of G-d if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
g) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. How should they die?
h) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
i) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev.24:10-16). Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev.20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that G-d's word is eternal and unchanging.

Which just goes to show that overzealous interpretation of Divine Will can only go so far.

Talk Radio's Last Stand?

2008-08-14T20:11:29Z

From Rory O'Connor:

The email alert read “Breaking from Newsmax.com,” the conservative online news site that also publishes Newsmax Magazine. One item in particular caught my attention: Special: Will President Obama Ban O’Reilly, Rush?

One click, however, reveals this ‘breaking’ news is simply old wine poured into a “special” new anti-Obama bottle: a ridiculous recycled report entitled “Talk Radio’s Last Stand,” offered with a subscription to Newsmax magazine and a “Dynamo Emergency World Band Radio” — all for just $35!

Leading hard-right conservatives, led by their talk radio “shock jock” shock troops, have been worrying aloud about the supposed return of the long-defunct Fairness Doctrine ever since their stunning success last year in defeating bi-partisan immigration reform. The latest salvo is the Newsmax report, headlined “Battle for Talk Radio: Powerful Foes Want to End the Gabfest,” which cleverly combines the usual talk radio tropes of pugnacity and victimization. The text of the “special offer” supplies the details:

“The 2008 election has yet to be decided, but one thing is clear: If the Democrats win the White House, expect an all-out attack on talk radio. Political talk, as we know it, could end. If they win, Rush, Imus, Savage, Beck, and dozens of other major hosts will be muzzled by using federal regulations to control political talk. So, what’s their plan of attack?”

As Newsmax sees it, “leading liberals in Congress, the Democratic presidential candidates, and even some Republicans speak openly of their plans to end conservative talk radio using federal regulations. Their weapon: a revived Fairness Doctrine, which would once again require stations to air divergent points of view — a clever ruse that makes station owners leery of airing controversial talk-radio hosts fearing law suits and federal sanctions. With a new Fairness Doctrine, you could see many top conservative radio hosts canned.”

Thank you, Stan Freberg...

2008-06-09T19:15:34Z

...for this interesting suggestion in approaching National Minorities.

(But then again, how would Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage and other propagandists for the cause of xenophobia, racism and intolerance react?)

Better Lay Off Obama's Church....

2008-09-03T22:56:36Z

Thanks for viewing and post your comments at the bottom. If you disagree with the thoughts, please be civil in explaining your disagreements. Cause it only makes you look pretty stupid if you resort to attacks on me and others viewing.

I don't think the American conservatives are getting the message. Matter of fact, I don't think they could be real conservatives. They can never fit the shoes of George Will and the late William F. Buckley.

Over three months now, and it seems that the Republican Party is looking forward to taking on the presumed nominee Democratic Illinois Senator Barack Obama.

But quarry the anger in the Black community. The death of Sean Bell has been received "local" coverage. This "local" coverage is truly an outrage in America. The mentality of the police and Blacks has been a touchy subject for years. I don't understand how the media could avoid this! And to think that the mainstream media is so focused on Jeremiah Wright is just an example of how corrupt the media is.

WorldNetDaily, a conservative opinion journal spearheaded this movement to smear Barack Obama. It's been led by Aaron Kline, a journalist who has ties to Jerusalem and a notorious history of falsehoods. Eric Rush, a conservative Black journalist has also benefited from writing the piece called "Obamanation", it can be found on WorldNetDaily's website. Kline and Rush have written smear pieces on Obama for the past three years.

Talk radio host and FOX News commentator Sean Hannity takes credit for "exposing" Barack Obama's church, Trinity United Church of Chicago. His feud with Jeremiah Wright stems from the "Hannity & Colmes" debate in which Wright confronted the falsehoods of his church. Now for over a year, Hannity has been on this mission to distract Americans. His audience is mostly conservatives who would not vote for Obama, so it's most likely I would not worry too much about the impact.

But in the terms of the FOX Virus, Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly are spreading the falsehoods about Obama, while covering up their notorious history of bigotry and ignorance. They jump on a Black preacher for talking but never bat an eye for the controversial comments of Glenn Beck, John Hagee, Michael Savage, Pat Buchanan, Bill Bennett, Ann Coulter, Pat Robertson, James Dobson, and Rod Paisley.

In regards to the conservatives who are watching: I know this may seem to be a little out of your league but its simplistic! The Republicans are desperate for attention. They couldn't get Obama for being a Muslim, so they get him for being a Christian.

Now, if you are frequent listener to his radio program The Sean Hannity's [America] Show. Try to count up how many times the pundit says Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton. Then during the three hours tally up how many times Hannity says these names. If you happen to get over 50 mentions of Jeremiah Wright, call his show at 1-800-941-SEAN and tell him: "I did a count on how many times you have mentioned Jeremiah Wright (or insert Bill Ayers)! I was wondering how many times you are going to mention the high gas prices, the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, and the Sean Bell trial!"

Also, if you want to mention Bohemian Grove, the 9/11 truth movement, or the Republican loss in Illinois and Louisiana, feel free to address his show. I am preparing to call him out on his constant attacks on Barack Obama and his church.

Rest in peace to those who died in the Midwest, South and Western tornados! Tiffany Snow, former high school friend. Those who died in the Burma cyclone! Those who died in Iraq and Afghanistan! And to those who have died serving our country.

Thank you to Tanya Acker, Bob Beckel, Jane Fleming Kleeb, and Alan Colmes for at least proving that you are not FOX News Democrats!

Congratulations to Jenna Bush on getting married to her longtime boyfriend. President Bush gets some good news for this troubling year.

Savage Gets the Heave Ho!

2008-07-13T20:05:02Z

The Federal Judge presiding over Michael “I’ll eat your little Muslim Baby” Savage’s case against CAIR - Council on American-Islamic Relations – has said he’s inclined to throw out the copyright infringement case today. Savage’s lawyers will be free to submit a revised lawsuit, but as it stands, CAIRs lawyers have won their argument!

The controversy started when CAIR posted Savage’s 4 minute hate filled hissy fit on their website and asked people to donate funds and boycott The Savage Nation. Sounds like this makes strike 2 for Mr. Savage. Bigotry just doesn’t pay.

Grand Rapids organizing to take on Savage

The Grand Rapids Institute for Information Democracy (GRIID) is encouraging people to contact advertisers that are targeted by the No Savage Campaign.

GRIID is also asking people to contact WOOD radio to demand that they no longer run the Michael Savage Show, since it promotes racism and violence through hate speech. Send a pre-written letter to station manager Tim Feagan demanding that the station stop airing Savage.

GEICO keeps changing their story about SAVAGE

2008-01-26T17:01:14Z

Another update on your NO SAVAGE efforts with his advertisers.

Kevin relayed this message earlier today from GEICO:

GEICO terminated all of its advertising on the show several years ago. Our media buying agency has been instructed that no GEICO advertisements may appear on this program.

Then just a few hours later, Travis wrote in with this:

I just called GEICO at 6:00 CST, today Jan 24th and they (the customer service representative) claim that the advertising is being put on for free and that they are currently suing Savage for putting their ads on the air.

He said that Savage must be "trying to legitimize his show by using the respectable GEICO name."

So what's the story, GEICO? Why the inconsistent excuses?

Call GEICO's president at 800-824-7795 and find out.

Huge success with NO SAVAGE!

2008-07-22T12:33:33Z

You did it! What an amazing outpouring of intelligent, thoughtful letters, emails and calls to the Savage advertisers.

Already, four major companies have pulled out, and QUICKLY. So savor your good work, and know that in fact your actions do make a difference. You didn't just yell at your radio or TV. YOU DID SOMETHING, and it made a difference.

But here's something we didn't expect. The USO is standing behind Michael Savage! They refuse to pull their ads from his program.

We’re shocked and disheartened by this. We would have expected them to be the first to distance themselves from someone who is deliberately fanning the flames of hatred between Muslims and non-Muslims, putting the troops in even greater jeopardy. How does this help the cause of America's servicemembers?

Please call John Hanson, spokesman for the USO, and let him know this is just not acceptable. (703) 908-6400

And, if you're a digger, digg this story.

ITT Tech says NO SAVAGE!

2008-04-07T10:03:39Z

Leda, BNF's head of production, just got off the phone with Mike Collins, from ITT Tech's agency responsible for purchasing their radio spots. They have explicitly instructed stations to not run their ads on Michael Savage's program!

Here's their letter.. and thank you ITT Tech!

Hi Leda - As we discussed earlier, Target + Response places per-inquiry Radio advertising for ITT Technical Institute. "Per-inquiry" means we pay stations for the number of sales leads they generate rather than the number of spots they run. We do not buy airtime in or sponsor specific programs. Our agreement with stations is that they can run spots wherever they have unsold inventory. At the same time, they have strict instructions not to run spots in controversial programming, such as the Michael Savage Show.

It was brought to our attention this week that ITT Tech spots had been heard in the Michael Savage Show. As a result, we have contacted all stations participating in the ITT Tech program and strongly reiterated that they are NOT to run ITT Tech spots in the Michael Savage Show.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. With this understanding, we hope that you will remove ITT Technical Institute from the list of Michael Savage advertisers posted on your website.

Thank you.

Due to the recent inquiries made through our Contact Us URL about our advertising support of the Michael Savage show, I wanted to provide you with a script for answering these inquiries. We do not intentionally advertise on or around the Michael Savage radio talk show and were surprised to find our name referenced on the “nosavage.org” website stating that we do. Although our ad was mistakenly run twice last week during his show on KFMB, our media agency has confirmed with KFMB that it will never run during his show again.

Thank you!
