Progressive Democrat Issue 104: CALIFORNIA FOCUS: Fighting Hate Radio

Melanie Morgan is yet another one of these hate-mongering right wing nut cases like Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly. All of these people advocate hatred, violence and terrorism, yet are considered legitimate talk radio. This comes from the San Francisco for Democracy website:

This is considered acceptable on public airwaves these days?

"The day will come when unpleasant things are going to happen to a bunch of stupid liberals." Melanie Morgan, referring to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, claims to have "a bull's-eye painted on her big wide laughing eyes." Morgan also suggests that Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring, should be dug up so that she could be killed again. Brian Sussman agrees with a caller that all mosques in Syria should be blown up by cruise missiles when they are most likely to be full of praying Muslims. Sussman also demands that a caller prove he’s not a Muslim by saying "Allah is a wh*re."

No, this is despicable, violence-inciting hate speech -- broadcast right here in San Francisco by KSFO. And we can do something about it. Advertisers, many of them local, support this station, and they're probably not aware of what's being said right before and after their advertisements. Why don't we let them know?

Let's all get in touch with Denny's. Or Match.com. Or the Jewelry Exchange. Or Best Buy. (More advertisers listed here.) Ask them:

"Are you aware that your ads are being aired on KSFO in San Francisco right before and after violent hate speech by Brian Sussman, Melanie Morgan and other KSFO radio personalities? And if so, does this mean you agree with their racist and violence-inciting viewpoints?"

I for one am sick of right wing nuts advocating intolerance and terrorism on public airwaves. Having recently watched Hotel Rwanda, I am reminded that sometimes people actually act out what these idiots advocate. Don't forget the Delaware Pogrom.
