Petition against anti-woman/gay Okla. DJ
A few days ago I posted information about an Oklahoma DJ who had a call in poll: Would you rather wake up in the morning knowing you had just beat a woman or had gay sex? Needless to say, several callers thought this was funny. It played on the themes of violence against women as acceptable and homophobia.

The Red River Democracy Project sponsored a protest. I just got off the phone with the organizer and she said about 60 people were there. There was media there, but no reports (that either of us saw) on local stations. They now have a petition on their website. For now, the comment is will only being addressed to Clear Channel. The organizer is working on getting information about the show's sponsors and will update as soon as she has that information.

Please take a moment to visit the Red River Democracy Project and sign the petition.

Thanks!

1. Clear Channel? What a surprise.
Guy sounds like a fucking imbecile, but unfortunately that's relatively mild comparted to the level of hate and vitriol regularly spewed by some of AM radio's "top draws", like Savage, etc..

2. I'm getting an error message:
"THIS IS AN ARCHIVED WEBSITE AND IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED. PLEASE GO TO http://www.rrdp.org

Thank you!"

Then, when I click on the link, it takes me back to the same place. I'll try to contact the webmaster.
