Challenging Hate Radio: A Guide for Activists

[Sweet Freedom]

1. Force yourself to listen to it. We know it's tough, but someone's got to do it.

2. Document it. Sometimes only a talkshow host's loyal following hears the most outrageous thing that he says. You need to be able to document exactly what was said (and when it was said). Record the show, and be sure to label and date your tapes.

3. Keep track of the worst statements. Transcribe the most offensive comments . Transcripts are easier and cheaper to distribute than audio tapes. Having a one-page list of quotes educates people and motivates them to action quickly. A "worst of" tape can also be very valuable.

4. Inform others who will take action. If you have a group of people interested, setting up an email list, or a quick response phone or fax tree, is a good idea.

2. Good idea, I had not thought of that;

My idea has been to make the dark journey into freeper land once or twice a week and report back some of the more aoutrageous excesses that those sub-humans are threading about. For both ideas, it is a necessary thing but there may be no survivors after we report back. :rofl:
