Electrocute Bill Keller! No, hang him!

The moronic hosts of GOP-connected radio station KSFO get big yuks calling for "traitors" in the press to be killed -- all brought to you by Disney.

KSFO-AM

Funny, I grew up in San Francisco (born in '53). My folks always had KSFO on when we were kids. It was the only way you could listen to Giants baseball. FM band was a new thing that our radios couldn't receive. We always made fun of our parents for the "old fashioned" music they played. It was innocent then, too bad it's turned evil.

We call the show" Adolf and Eva in the morning"

These clowns have a listnership in the 10's of people. These listners live in the fricken boonies or happen upon

this trash while fishing for a bullshit country station.

The only great thing is that it falls on deaf ears out here. Smell,R.E.Lee and SS.officer Vic are worth the price of admission none the less.First of all it sounds like they do the show with a hot poker up the wahzoo second of all, I want to be there when this administration goes away; maybe they'll stick the syanide under their collective tongue's

on the air, so we can breath something original and fresh

Yawn! More Banality From Right-Wing Talking Heads

"Traitors" "Treasonous" yada, yada, yada. These words have now become standard for right-wing talking heads. Coulter, Morgan, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity, et al love to throw these words at anyone who doesn't follow the government. (Actually, let me clarify: who don't follow a REPUBLICAN government. Let's not forget how these same blowhards treated Bill Clinton over his blowjob.) These same right wingers are the same ones (Ann Coulter especially) who complain that us liberals are the immature name-callers; that we are incapable of debate and argument. Somehow, America's media has been transformed into a glorified episode of Jerry Springer (ironically, new right-wing man whore, Bernie Goldberg adds Springer to his "110 people who are screwing up America" book), and has dumbed down the average American who has no concept of critical thinking. The fact that millions of Americans are now glued to Fox News says a lot. Right-Wingers have successfully managed to devalue College professors by simply labelling them all as "extreme-leftists" therefore stripping serious and well researched academics who are experts in their fields of study! So who shall replace these "leftist ideologues?" Why such adept researchers such as Coulter and O'Reilly of course. Ann Coulter thinks the Canadian government sent Canadian troops into Vietnam to help fight in the war; Hannity told one of his callers that Ronald Reagan did not sell weapons in exchange for hostages, despite Reagan himself admitting this on televison. O'Reilly lies and makes up his "facts" as he goes along. I hope that the average American will finally wake up and do their own research. Can't afford a university education? NO EXCUSE! Turn off Fox, and head down to your public library...it is free to obtain a library card and sign out books. Head down to the university library. You may not check out books, but most academic libraries are open to the public during operating hours. Trust me. The more research one does and the more one reads, the more you will turn off people like Hannity, Limbaugh et al. Make America the best place in the world and educate yourself!

We Have Choices That Need to be Made

We can either run to the government (the FCC in this case) and ask them to "Make it stop!" or we can, to quote our ally Steve Earle, "F the CC" as per usual, continue to support all speech as free, and take these swine on head-on for a change. They will fall under their own weight. People ask "Isn't this how it started in Germany?" Well, the simple answer is yes. That was Germany. We are Americans. "Isn't this similar to Islamist rhetoric?" Yes - but we are not a Muslim nation - not a religious state - and again, we are Americans. We are not obligated to change our First Amendment article of faith the moment the wrong people start abusing it. It's been done by the left as well over the years and we've supported those abusers merrily. Now it's time for us to put all our cards on the table and take these sows and swine to the intellectual abattoir located at the base of the altar of Truth and kick their asses the way Americans were designed to: by exposing them for the pigs they are. No one wants to look stupid, but until we expose the stupidity, the hatefulness and the manifest and willful ignorance of these people by countering it with facts - even facts the FCC doesn't want aired, so fuck them too - this Big Lie and Hate fest will just go on supporting the dwindling number of human embarrassments this country harbors as the price we all pay for being relatively free.

It isn't hard: just act as Americans instead of wingnuts of either extreme. Just stand, for god's sake and tell it like it is. We haven't had the balls to do this in decades, so fearful we've become of offending some little nutball faction of our own. We can talk too, and we can talk better. We just need to get over the dreaded plague of political correctness favoring our own morally handicapped and say and do what is best for the greatest number of people. We could start by gutting (intellectually and philosophically only, of course) the moronic talking heads of the far, far Wrong, and for the love of god, let's not send someone like Al Franken to do it.
