Alaskan right wing Talk show host exposes names of Alaska Women that railled against Palin: Called them Maggots
Typical conservative maneuver. Right out of the Malkin playbook. KBYR's Eddie Burke attacks the ladies that organized a rally against Gov. Palin and outs their names on air. Freedom to protest is something right wingers don't seem to like very much. I've been staying off the Palin dog and pony show for the most part because it distracts from John McCain, but this is outrageous behavior by this conservative talkie.
KTUU:
Opponents of Gov. Sarah Palin's policies are being threatened. Alaska Women Reject Palin, a local group that opposes the Republican vice presidential candidate, on Wednesday announced plans to host an anti-Palin rally this weekend.Since that announcement organizers say they've received intimidating messages.
KBYR talk radio host Eddie Burke admits he is a conservative and a "Palinista."But on Wednesday Burke resorted to name calling when he found out Alaska Women Reject Palin planned to host a Saturday rally.
"They're a bunch of socialist maggots, that's what I'm going to call them -- socialist maggots, that's what they are, a bunch of socialist baby-killing maggots," said Burke.
I think it's appropriate to go after Gov Palin's policies ,but respect her. Burke is out of his mind.
And Alaska is not happy with Palin's appearance on Burke's show.
The governor's appearance on KWHL's "The Bob and Mark Show" last week is plain and simple one of the most unprofessional, childish and inexcusable performances I've ever seen from a politician. Anchorage DJ Bob Lester unleashed a vicious, mean-spirited, poisonous attack on Senate President Lyda Green last week while our governor was live on the air with him.
When we played the tape on my show the day after it happened, we received 130 calls. Even some Palinbots were disgusted.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner editorial writers demanded the governor apologize. The Juneau and Ketchikan papers also ran the editorial.
The Daily News opinion page addressed the governor's gaffe. They wrote "She came off looking immature herself, almost high-schoolish. It was conduct unbecoming a governor."
It was conduct unbecoming a human being, never mind a governor.
The governor's office eventually tried to spin the public relations disaster, releasing a statement reading, "Governor Palin was caught off guard by Bob Lester's reference to Senate President Lyda Green."I don't buy it. Early on in the conversation before Palin started to crack up, Lester referred to Sen. Green as a jealous woman and a cancer. Palin, who knows full well Lyda Green is a cancer survivor, didn't do what any decent person would do, say, "Bob, that's going too far."
But as the conversation moved on, Lester intensified his attack on Green.
More intimidation techniques. If anyone doesn't see a problem with revealing people's names and even addresses should check out this video:

Brilliant reply. Sarah Palin has indeed raised herself to the level where she operates most comfortably: mediocrity.
If somehow the stupidity of the American voter trumps good sense ... and there are enough examples of this to fill a row of textbooks on the subject ... then I'm going to canvass every comedy writer I know in Hollywood to write a t.v. series on this travesty.

From the lips of a fascist to the ears of a socialist.
The fascists are for Socialism for Fat Cats. Social programs that benefit the few, the ones that already HAVE EVERYTHING. Except when through greed and stupidity they run their companies into the ground. Then they want a government handout.
If you want programs that benefit the most people, say health care or education, then you are a maggot.

No, the fascists were not socialist or capitalist, they were their own little monstrosity. Certainly, Hitler was no socialist, but nor was he a capitalist. Nazism and fascism are separate from our modern purview shaped by the Soviets. Hitler's master race was certainly nothing out of Adam Smith. Mussolini was more capitalist, but then Mussolini's ideas were based around a return to Italian glory, with Italians having food and bread.
Jesus, just when you get hope that people might possibly know what fascism means and that Nazis actually did have a coherent ideology....
Evil, 100% so, but coherent all the same.
... and the flood of concern trolls letting us know that "maggots" was taking out of context, will start in... 3... 2... 1...
Extra credit for the concern troll that makes a convincing case that that "our side" should not use these displays of utter contempt by right wingers against anyone who does not toe their line, and thus revealing these assholes for the fascisti they truly are, because that would distract "us" from the "issues" an will for sure backfire.... since "we" are better than that
i emailed kbyr last sat regarding this. they emailed back saying that burke will be sanctioned for releasing the phone numbers of the anti-palin rally organizers, which is a violation of their rules, but not for airing his "opinion".
Personally, I'd rather be called a maggot than a Republican, but that's just me...
From C&L yesterday: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/09/14/alaska-women-reject-palin-draws...
In Australian parlance, a "burke" is a clueless idiot, how very apt...
However, NOW the fascists are naming names, and calling them "socialist baby killers".
Ironic that peaceful people are referred to and named by quislings who, because there is no press to speak of, are allowed to get away with it.
We are in a Civil War. I no longer tolerate the right on anything. I no longer tolerate right wing religion. Because tolerance of those sub-humans has gotten us into this nightmare.
I'm not a "socialist," but I for one am a proud maggot. But I'd definitely like for that fat fascist to call me one to my face, instead of behind the comfort of soundproof glass.

Remember Rwanda
Burke would never have backed off if the media hadn't drawn attention to the hatred and lawlessness exposed in his methods. This is why an InSannity, an O'LIElly and a Limpballs can get away with their agenda of hate and deception - the corporate owned and run media doesn't call them out on it.

If the Repukes get in it's all over for America as we know it. They've already shown their disdain for the Constitution and it will be eroded even more.

Chris Hedges on “American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War On America”
http://www.democracynow.org/2007/2/19/chris_hedges_on_american_fascists_the
AMY GOODMAN: We’re talking to Chris Hedges. His latest book called American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America. We were just talking about Pat Robertson. I wanted to go back to that famous quote of his. This had to do with foreign policy and the Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
PAT ROBERTSON: You know, I don’t know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we’re trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It’s a whole lot cheaper than starting a war. And I don’t think any oil shipments will stop, but this man is a terrific danger. This is in our sphere of influence, so we can’t let this happen. We have the Monroe Doctrine. We have other doctrines that we have announced. And without question, this is a dangerous enemy to our south, controlling a huge pool of oil that could hurt us very badly. We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don’t need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It’s a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with.
AMY GOODMAN: Pat Robertson. Your response, Chris Hedges?
CHRIS HEDGES: That’s a deeply Christian message, calling for assassination [sarcasm]. You know, I covered the war in Central America, and Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell came down to support the murderous rampages of Rios Montt in Guatemala, the military dictatorship that were running death squads that were killing 800 to 1,000 people a month in El Salvador, and, of course, the Contras, whose main contribution in Nicaragua was walking into towns drunk out of their mind, raping the women and killing the men and burning the villages. And they describe these battles as essentially a war against Satan, against Satanic forces, godless communism that had to be defeated. There are no international boundaries in Satan’s kingdom, if you look at it from their ideology. I think that the kinds of the wholehearted support for genocidal killers in Central America, which Pat Robertson was one of the stalwarts, is a tip-off as to, you know, without legal restraints, what they would like to do within our own borders.
And I think that the quote or the clip that you just played is a perfect illustration of how dark the intentions of this movement is and how, if we don’t begin to stand up and fight back, if we believe that these people can be domesticated and brought into the political arena where they will act responsibly, we’re very, very naive. And we should all sit down, and as unpalatable as it is, and listen to Christian—so-called Christian radio and television to see the kinds of messages of hate and exclusion that they are spewing out over the airwaves.
Why is it that all, I and do mean all, reichwing MSM maggots (to use their phrase) stutter uncontrollably whenever they even attempt a weak-ass apology?
“They’re a bunch of socialist maggots" hmm.
In the immortal words of Inigo Montoya:
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
General Pavel Rennenkampf Xocoyoztin @ 10:
I disagree, the fascists sure were a monstrosity, but they also were most certainly capitalists.
And I would call the nazi ideology many things, coherent is not one of them...
I love how Burke basically opposes their right to assembly and protest, but is then going to stand behind the 1st amendment to defend his own actions & the consequences. You can't yell fire in a crowded theater and if anything criminal occurs it is at his doorstep. Another example of a hypocritical conservative.
[More from #24]
AMY GOODMAN: The quote of Jerry Falwell right after September 11th that became quite famous: “I really believe that the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America, I point the finger in their face and say, ‘You helped this happen.’” He was speaking on September 13, 2001, on Pat Robertson’s 700 Club program.
CHRIS HEDGES: That’s right. And, you know, this is—I mean, essentially, when you follow the logical conclusion of the ideology they preach, there really are only two options for people who do not submit to their authority. And it’s about submission, because these people claim to speak for God and not only understand the will of God, but be able to carry it out. Either you convert, or you’re exterminated. That’s what the obsession with the End Times with the Rapture, which, by the way, is not in the Bible, is about. It is about instilling—it’s, of course, a fear-based movement, and it’s about saying, ultimately, if you do not give up control to us, you will be physically eradicated by a vengeful God. And that lust for violence, I think that sort of—you know, the notion, that final aesthetic being violence is very common to totalitarian movements, the belief that massive catastrophic violence can be used as a cleansing agent to purge the world. And that’s, you know, something that this movement bears in common with other despotic and frightening radical movements that we’ve seen over the past—throughout the past century.

LiberalNmoderation @ 8
"These fascist propagandists are goin to cause more and more wingnuts to become unhinged and start killin people."
People have committed murder, and successfully used violence on TV as a defense. A guy murdered the mayor of San Francisco, and successfully used TOO MUCH JUNK FOOD as a defense.
Just for a change, I would like to see a class action lawsuit filed in Civil Court against these CONSERVATIVE HATE-RADIO SHOCK JOCKS for violence committed against liberals. You sue the radio station, not the shock jock. Suing the shock jock would just give them more publicity, giving them a higher profile, and a justification to ask for a higher salary. No, if you want this crap to stop, the only way to stop it is to hit the radio stations that produce it where they live.
I'd like to see those organizers sue this guy.
(Also, just for future reference, make sure to put a disclosure at the bottom of these kinds of press releases. You know, the type that says "this was only intended for the recipient listed in the recipient line, and is not intended for general desemination." Technically, it's not worth that much, but at least it removes the standard excuse that it was a document in the public domain, when it wasn't. Although, I suppose they could always just pull a Rove by having somebody in the office make a copy of it that just happens to omit the part about it being confidential, read it on the air, and then plead ignorance.)

Socialist baby-killing maggots?
..WHERE DO I SIGN UP?
[last bit from #24]
CHRIS HEDGES: I mean, this movement talks about acculturating the society with a Christian religion. In fact, it’s the inverse. What they’ve done is acculturate the Christian religion with the worst aspects of American imperialism and American capitalism. And there’s that kind of uneasy alliance with many of these corporate interests. But it serves their turn. I mean, when you’re creating the corporate state, it’s very convenient to have an ideology that says, “Don’t worry. You don’t need health insurance, because if you have enough faith, Jesus will cure you. It doesn’t matter if all of your jobs are outsourced and there are no labor unions, because, you know, God takes care of his own. And not only that, but God will make you materially wealthy.” This is, you know, the gospel of prosperity. So, essentially, what we’ve seen is that fusion between those who want to build a corporate state and this ideological movement that thrusts believers who come out of deep despair into a world of magic and miracles and angels.
AMY GOODMAN: And what are the corporations that are part of this?
CHRIS HEDGES: Well, DeVos, a guy who founded Amway; Target; Sam’s Club. You know, they bring in—a lot of these corporations like Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club and others bring in these sort of dominionist or evangelical ministers into the plants as a way to mollify workers. Subscribing to this belief system is essentially about disempowerment

Does the letter "R" stand for rude just as much as it stands for Republican? It would seem so. The right has a lot of radio talk shows and it seems the theme is always to make personal attacks, be rude and use the most foul language one can use on the air.
the modern republican thought process.....if you don't
agree with me.....your less than human. these people aren't capable of compromise. that's exactly the reason they're NOT excited about their nominee john mccain. of course that all changed when he chose the freshman governor sarah palin as his running mate. mccain's campaign is depending on the excitment of a poor judgement by john mccain.
Youse lawyers out there,
At what point do protesters become public figures themselves? Is it only if they act as spokespersons for the protest, or not at all?

"coherent ideology"?!!!!
Militarism, xenophobia, anti semitism and kleptocracy, they WERE consistent, I am not sure I would use the word coherent..
Hitler joined the terms Nationalism and Socialism, both popular in his day but mutually exclusive in concept. It was a gimmick that worked.
Both Hitler and Mussolini integrated the Capitalists into their power structures it was anything but laissez faire Capitalism. Hitler was concerned with militarism.
I employ the term Socialism for Fat Cats because that is what they talk about.
Privatize the profit and socialize the risk.
We have de facto fascism because the Corporations own the government.
Consider the latest housing bill which is the basis the takeover of Freddie and Fanny.
I am not sure of the exact percentage but it is over 90% corporation friendly.
As I said, we have our own brand of fascism.
It is also militaristic, in case you had not noticed.
War profiteering made easy. The Republicrats pass funding bill AFTER funding bill.
Now I know why Palin was elected in Alaska. These people are nuts. I feel for those women who had the balls to stand up for what they believe in, but I ask myself. Why did these people elect her in the first place? But then again, maybe Die-bold supplies their voting machines.

Tyler Durden @ 27:
Yes. Nazis were 'socialist' in name ONLY. Okay, perhaps with the exception of having government involvement in the marketplace. Naturally ALL totalitarian governments want more government control. Saying that makes them 'socialist' is just guilt-by-association. Also, the idea of government taking an entirely hands-off approach to the market is completely anachronistic in the context. That was not the ideology of German conservatives at that time. - And it was the conservatives that Hitler was in alliance with. It was the socialists (as in union leaders, social democrats and, naturally, communists) that Hitler sent to concentration camps.
Calling themselves 'socialist' (always prefixed by 'national'), together with the worker-glorification etc, was just a way for them to undercut the communists, who were their main competitors in the "people drawn to extreme ideologies" department. It's pretty damn disgusting to see the American right use the Nazis own propaganda for this historical revisionism.
As a sidenote: My grandparents were unapologetic old-school fascists. O'ma had been aquainted with Goering. (albeit they were Hungarians and thought Hitler was a bit 'too German' for their tastes) She also denied the Holocaust, disliked jews, blacks, hispanics, etc. And in general, had impeccable fascist credentials. After the war (and a short sejour in South America - uh huh) they eventually moved to the 'states.
Getting to the point.. For the last ten years or so of her life, my fascist grandma loyally tuned in her radio to listen to her favorite. - Rush Limbaugh.
Need I say more?
KBYR talk radio host Eddie Burke admits he is a conservative and a “Palinista.”

It will not be long before we have people in brown uniforms beating down doors at night. We ought to let Alaska cecede, with Palin's economic expertise they would be broke in no time
DOW: -504.48
crude: 94.14
After reading Palin's reactions to some of the things that were said on Burke's show, I feel my original impression of her has been validated. She can be one heartless woman. She yucks it up regarding other people's problems. Kind of reminds me of bush. The bush who yucked it up about a woman who was about to be put to death as he made fun of her pleas for her life to be spared.
the post about the anti-palin rally indicates the number of attendees at closer to 1500.

In a democratic socialist state any corporation that does not benefit the people gets its charter pulled and its assets siezed. That's the way it's supposed to work. That's the way it DID work in the US, until 1886 Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad declared that corporations have all the rights of citizens. It's been downhill since.

McCain is running around looking for something that will draw people to hear him speak. If he sends Palin out on her own, he loses his shiny thing. So now he's back to trying to get Obama to do those silly town hall meetings with him again. He went so far as to say if Obama had agreed to do them, the campaigns wouldn't have gotten so dirty.

Why give money to Alaska -- it already steals more than it pays out in taxes, and all the money that comes from our tax dollars goes to line the pockets of hatred in Alaska.
Boycott Alaska tourism...

It depends on what type of Christianity is practiced. These people are NOT Christians. They are Dominionists. Read my posts, starting at #24.
The FBI needs to have a very serious talk to this station about the probability of contributiong to violence upon those so-named. Their lawyers, along with the corporate titans need to be called upon into an interrogation room and held to answer for their decision to allow their station to be aiding and abetting possible criminal acts.
Under no circumstances should the media, including print, provide personal information without relevant justification and essential to the subject matter being pursued in proper and honest manner.
The core ethics of journalism have been violated, and all major news sources need to hold their junior peer to accountability, if justice does not.
It's high time that media sources be held to new standards that lift the course of dialog and hold those that fail to meet ethical standards be shown the bright light of questioning and criticism from a chorus of respected media sources. Failure to act swiftly and harshly shall only show weakness to those that wish to use the media for their political and unethical agendas.
Even Fox news has learned that sort of behavior has a very tight circle that comes to bite you in the butt eventually. Security costs alone for Hannity and BO have got to be astronomical.
Imagine the idiocy of this guy who calls people "baby-killing maggots" over the air for everyone to hear and then says that the phone calls cheapen the discourse. These conservative azzholes never cease to amaze me.

Sound familiar?
In a democratic socialist state any corporation that does not benefit the people gets its charter pulled and its assets siezed. That’s the way it’s supposed to work. That’s the way it DID work in the US, until 1886 Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad declared that corporations have all the rights of citizens. It’s been downhill since.
Government of the corporations, by the people, for the people.

Funny, but exactly right.
i think what got him shaking was the realization that his sponsors probably don't want to be seen supporting asswipes who threaten citizens on the air. He's right on the border of inciting violence against those women and what makes it worse is that he's doing it just to shut them up.
What a jerkoff.
Thanks God callling women maggots isn't sexist.....DOH
Here's a story about a true maggot and parasite.
dejah @ 105:
Why punish Alaska and take money out of the pockets of people whose livelihood depend on it just because Palin is the governor and this jerk is on the radio? By that way of thinking, nobody should ever visit the U.S. because we have such a jackazz for a president and Rush Limbaugh rules our airwaves.

A little late to this but... DeVos? Say no more. I'm just south of what we like to call "DeVos is God" territory and it isn't pretty. I can totally see him doing this and loving it. Prosperity preaching is just plain scary and, IMHO, creates a class of spiritual and economic slaves.
The GOP plays the victim card
Conservatives claim to hate victimhood, but the Republican Party encourages its base to feel aggrieved at the hands of the 'elites.'

[last bit from #24]
CHRIS HEDGES: I mean, this movement talks about acculturating the society with a Christian religion. In fact, it’s the inverse. What they’ve done is acculturate the Christian religion with the worst aspects of American imperialism and American capitalism. And there’s that kind of uneasy alliance with many of these corporate interests. But it serves their turn. I mean, when you’re creating the corporate state, it’s very convenient to have an ideology that says, “Don’t worry. You don’t need health insurance, because if you have enough faith, Jesus will cure you. It doesn’t matter if all of your jobs are outsourced and there are no labor unions, because, you know, God takes care of his own. And not only that, but God will make you materially wealthy.” This is, you know, the gospel of prosperity. So, essentially, what we’ve seen is that fusion between those who want to build a corporate state and this ideological movement that thrusts believers who come out of deep despair into a world of magic and miracles and angels.
AMY GOODMAN: And what are the corporations that are part of this?
CHRIS HEDGES: Well, DeVos, a guy who founded Amway; Target; Sam’s Club. You know, they bring in—a lot of these corporations like Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club and others bring in these sort of dominionist or evangelical ministers into the plants as a way to mollify workers. Subscribing to this belief system is essentially about disempowerment.

This is some scary, scary stuff. If half the problem is defining it, then the Dems are in deep shite, because this truly is the problem: the marriage of the Corporatists and the Dominionists.

I have been using this automated macro since January. The reference of course, is borrowed from Lincoln's Gettysburg address.
Government of the corporations, by the corporations, for the corporations… and their buddies.
I prefer to leave the 'people' out of the phrase containing 'corporations' entirely, and vice versa.
Suit yourself though.
As for the Santa Clara County v Southern Railroad Case, here is an interesting little read.
My suspicion is that a great many the wingnuts would not have a clue as to what socialism actually is.
I am an atheist, but I look for positive in the human condition, even when it is found in religious texts.
Jesus, though I deny his connection to anything other than humanity, did say some remarkable things.
From the Beatitudes, of the Sermon on the Mount:
This is central to the idea of socialism, and here it is from Jesus:
And again as a peacemaker:
Where are wingnuts and the theocrats, when they spew their hatred and call for the deaths of the terrible terrible 'socialists' in Jesus' name.
They don't seem to understand, JESUS WAS A SOCIALIST.

HEY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I CALLED CHANNEL 2 IN ANCHORAGE AK AT 907-762-9260 AND TOLD THEM THEY DID NOT DO THEIR JOBS AND CHALLENGE MR. BURKE. THE REPORTER COULD OF ASKED" MR BURKE DON'T YOU FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS OUTRAGE SINCE YOU CALLED THESE WOMEN MAGGOTS?". I TOLD CHANNEL 2 THEY ARE JUST AS RESPONSIBLE SINCE THEY SAID THAT MR. BURKE HAD CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
Has anyone heard the audio of Palin on this show?

I had the free version of AVG as well; unfortunately, it expired, and, despite uninstalling it and trying to get a "new" free version, it was a no go. Too poor to buy the software now. And, unfortunately, it is not (yet) compatible with Firefox 3.0.
I would trust the warning message it gives you!

Just another fat, bald, goatee-wearing loud mouth. Probably wears his Oakley sunglasses on the back of his head.
Not that I don't think that the guy is right, but it was an AM radio station, in Alaska. I have to imagine the number of listeners is probably extremely low. If a middle-aged, swollen "man" wants to vent his child-like rage in this way, let him. It is just one more excellent example of the nuts that support Palin. Her life is private, but an unknown, third-rate talk show host will invade the lives of others simple because of a hissy fit. The more you see, the clearer the picture becomes.
Scy @ 16:
Actually I think it's more like a religious civil war and unfortunately the extremists are winning!
The Right has been taken over by Neo-Cons. They are the Christian Family Values Extremists, They are turning everything into a battle of God Vs evil............ they of course representing God!
They are running things and they must be taken down!
One of the founding principles of this country is freedom from religious persecution.
The Constitution does not address the scenario where a religious group is persecuting the entire country and also trying to impose their will on the rest of the world.

Alaskan right wing Talk show host exposes names of Alaska Women that railled against Palin... should read
Alaskan right wing Talk show host exposes names of Alaska women WHO railled against Palin.... People, not things, right?
In Rewanda and the third reich it was cockroaches... not much different from maggots. How does someone like that stay on the air? In Scandinavia at least he would be charged and probably put in jail for hate speech like that.
You see, free speech without any responsibility for what one says is a part of why back in the 20's Mussolini could rightly say that democracy is a rotting corpse. Over here though, the nations of Europe had to deal with their facistic elmnts after the war, the US never had to. Facism was allowed to live on and grow through the cold war, McCarthy, Hoover, etc. and never more as these last years under Bush. And at the same time your democracy has been allowed to rot in peace.
Wow, Alaska certainly sounds like an inviting place; as long as your a born-again, gun-obsessed, illiterate.
You can smell the hate in the air, can't you?
Yes, that's it... may their true colors shine through!

Eddie@kbyr.com
His biography according to his radio station website ...
Eddie Burke, the king of the political grape vine is on your radio. So tune in and listen to Eddie use his freedom of speech to help Alaska become the state that we all know and love. Eddie Burke is a local boy, raised on the hard streets of Spenard. His up-bringing was no different than others in Alaska, raised in a middle class household. He is a normal Alaskan. A high school dropout, Eddie did eventually earn his GED through self teaching and discipline. It was during this time when he realized that the Government did not really represent the people. It was within this realm of political thought that he discovered his conservatism that his audience loves so much. His rough and tumble radio personality thrills us all. This self made man eventually owned his own gas station, of which he learned the intricacies of the oil business. It is with this insight into the distain of government in the oil industry that he brings to the radio world truth and justice. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the Eddie Burke show
Let the "Denial of Service" attacks begin. We have
the power to shut down this website!

freedom of speech doesn't give me the right to scream fire in a theater
god i hate republicans
Press charges! It's nuts like this that led to the cold-blooded murder of innocent people in a Unitarian church in TN. If these radio wacks can't be held responsible in their part of the violence caused by their listeners, things will just get worse.
So as payback to Eddie, put his home address and car make/model/license plate out there in the public along with the address of the station he broadcasts from. Then he can look over his shoulder every day.
When they hit you, you gotta hit back harder. It's the only thing they understand. Make them fear their own everyday existence.

"I am not among those who fear the people," he writes. "They, and not the rich, are our dependence for continued freedom...[S]how me where the people have done half the mischief in these forty years, that a single despot would have done in a single year..." Jefferson reminds us that democracy is impossible without a large measure of social and economic equality.
"Widespread poverty and concentrated wealth cannot exist side by side in a democracy."
Note sent to eddie:
What you did re: the anti-Palin protesters exercising their right to free speech, and what you do on a daily basis doling out the right wing talking points, is wrong. I believe you know that, but you geek at the sideshow for pay instead of telling your listeners what you really believe in. As a PAO, I've never had one of my press releases to media broadcast for the general public, not even from Fox. You violated a trust and should be closed from the loop henceforth.
I won't call you names like "maggot." Actually I pity you and hope you'll feel your shame. You are a smaller man for your vile actions. The America I'm defending as a member of the US Army is not the facist America you espouse.
Oh, and you really should look into going to college some day. That GED ain't cuttin' it.
POP @ 85,
I think you just have security set high on your computer. I accessed it from work, an our system is run by ultraparanoid system administrators with a firewall from hell, with loads of software to protect against viruses, trojanhorses, spyware and the like. It didn't cause any problems. If your computer is asking if it's OK to go there, just click OK. It may be because there are about 40 or so pics on the page.
