Companies that Sponsor Hate-Speech

I thought you'd want to know. Below is a partial list of sponsors of the Salem Radio Network, the good people who bring us Michael Savage, Laura Ingraham, Hugh Hewitt, failed movie reviewer Michael Medved and the famous degenerate gambler Bill Bennett, a lineup from 5am to after midnight filled with some of the most disturbing hate-mongering ever on the air in America.

Forget Rush, Hannity, and company, Clear Channel and Sinclair. These are the real haters. Just today you could have heard an hour-long segment on why Islam should be made illegal, why no Muslim should ever be allowed to become a federal judge, that all homosexuals are guilty of treason and why any Democrat who claims to be a Christian is a "rotten liar". On SRN, the holocaust wasn't quite so bad as some would whine. Liberals all suffer from mental disorders and Bill Clinton was our first Socialist president. I'll try to post a few transcripts here, but first I'll have to replace the radio that I flung against the wall in disgust. Even my Republican friends squirm in embarassment over the viscious and often violent diatribes on this network.

Interestingly, the hosts on the Salem Radio Network synchronize their message each day, so topics carry over from program to program. Today and yesterday, was anti-Muslim day on SRN. Bill Bennet (famous degenerate gambler, in case I forgot to mention it) kicked it off with a discussion of a moral comparison between Christianity and Islam. His take on it: The Christians are more moral. Laura Ingraham took up the cause with a guest who explained why Islam is a religion based on deception, violence and terror. Dennis Prager came on at 11, talking to a columnist for the Weekly Standard who made the alarming statement that Christian lives are worth more than Muslim lives. In the afternoon drivetime, here come Michael Medved (heavily closeted failed movie critic with the big mustache) who explains that anyone who is against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are no better than terrorists, and "Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslim". Apparently, he's forgotten about Tim McVeigh and Olympic/abortion bomber Eric Rudolph. "They are the dregs of humanity, Medved says about Muslims. Michael Savage come on at 5 with a careful discussion of "Islamofascism" (this Michael Savage guy, the same one who was so foul that Fox News through him off the air, is so bad that the other Salem Radio Network announcers disavow his existence. "He's on Salem Radio, but he's not a Salem Radio host" Dennis Prager says on his show.). Hugh Hewitt rounds out the day with a guest who has written a book titled "Prophet of Doom" that reveals that Mohammed was a liar, rapist and terrorist, and that all good Muslims must by definition be terrorists. Mike Gallagher takes the late shift and tells us that Islam is bad, Christianity, good. This group of radio bigmouths know how to stay on topic, that's for sure.

Here in Chicago the "SRN" is on a station that's waaaay on the end of the dial, in the radio ghetto usually reserved for Department of Transportation roadway bulletins and hokum prayer-lines, but in some small to medium markets in America, this is the only radio that comes in good and strong. This is what the people who live in the heartland listen to in between the farm reports and weather. It's just about all they've got, and the big right-wing conglomerates like Clear Channel and Salem are seemingly willing to lose money to get out their message of hate and support of the Christian Republican agenda.

You'll notice a distinct lack of prestigious national advertisers on this network. No McDonald's, no Coca Cola or Chevrolet. The ads here are primarily for hair-growth potions, get-rich-quick pyramid outfits and people who would sell you a book on how to buy gold. One big advertiser is a seller of the Phazer III radar detector which, as the commercial boasts, "..is illegal in eleven states!". But a few of the companies who, perhaps unknowingly, sponsor this filth might surprise you. All of them could benefit from a few phone calls letting them know the sort of rotten eggs they support.

Here is a list of the companies who are paying to spread hate and fear in the United States of America. I'll try to get phone numbers and email addresses and pass them along. Give 'em a call and let them know what you think.
