The arrogance of RW Hate Radio knows no Bounds!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3074197


Here is another link to a thread from another DU'er with pics of the billboards. As far as I know I've only seen their television ad on CNN. As Maestro points out in below thread local area stations refused it.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=3062555#

The Dismantling Racism Team of the Dallas Peace Center calls your attention to these highly offensive, racist and inflammatory billboards and asks for your support in contacting them to this effect.

An online poll at
http://www.big570.com/poll-billboards.asp

Surprisingly shows a 91% approval at present. They are getting contacts from around the country. The article on this is at

http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/10699331.htm?1c .

Also, you can email KLIF Marketing director Callie Hoch at

choch@dfwradio.com and KLIF General Manager Lon Bason at

lbason@KLIF.com .


You may have made a difference. The approval % dropped from 91% to 87% in the matter of a couple of
hours that this was sent. Below is the Gen. Mgr's. reply and mine to his (I could not resist). I don't
normally do this sort of thing, although it seems we may have made a small difference, otherwise, why would
he have bothered to reply so quickly? Thanks, and keep it up.

My response to station's reply:

I do not appreciate your unprofessinal, immature, condescending reply. I speak as an individual. My entire family has been in the military, particulary, the Marines. How about you? Have you or are you or yours laying your life on the line?

Support Justice and Just use of our Troops!

My orginal comment to station mgr, mktg director & copy to paper staff writer:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TO: KLIF Marketing director Callie Hoch and
KLIF
General Manager Lon Bason:

You have accomplished nothing more than to show the true bigotry, racism, and xenophobic ugliness and stupidity that can come from America by connecting terrorism with an ethnic people. You prove ignorance and unawareness of the true state of the affairs of this world. You manipulate the conscience of Americans or any person for that matter, to accept only the superficial without allowing for a fair understanding that this country and world is deeply divided because we are known as invaders and occupiers. Quit perpetuating dissension: it is not what we or this world needs. You lack integrity and morality by cheaply exploiting a people and death for some worthless marketing ploy that will surely backfire on you.
Why sink so unintelligently low and demoralizing for a dollar? Tear down your derogatory and harmful billboards.

1. Kicking back to the top, DU'ers please help us out in North Texas.
Truly not all of Texas "loves" Bush Jr, Sr or any other member of the family.

Please. And I'm really tired of saying please. We need your aid. We have Bush and DeLay.
