New York Daily News - Pitting Black Folk against Air America
Edited on Thu Apr-08-04 04:56 AM by shoopnyc123
There was an awful Op-Ed piece in the New York Daily News that is causing a stir in the Black community that WAS NOT THERE BEFORE. This guy quotes Charles Barron, a black, and not very well liked, (even in his own community) councilman. Read on...

On edit: I can't BELIEVE that he is pretending that he listened, or anyone, to the old school carribbean music that used to play on there!

1. Following FAUX talking points at all. WE aren't listening to their bull
We know how important it is for the greater good that AAR be on the air.

That is why it is so tough to hear all the complaining about AAR here @ DU. The blacks in NY did give up a station let's make sure the sacrafice isn't a waste. All of the complaining and shooting in a circle about AAR is just adding fuel to the fire.

WE ask for a Liberal Talk Radio network, we get one then we shoot it off the air before a week is up.

2. wait a minute
that haoli guy pictured wrote this POS op-ed? I've heard intelligent interviews w/ Spike Lee and Wynton Marsalis (I know I butchered his name) on AirAmerica this last week. No stoopid 'angry' questions 4 Spike either. Great interview. chafets needs 2 get his head out of his a**.

3. I emailed him yesterday
voicing my opinion on his 'sympathy' for the back community. This dude is an unapologetic apologizer for the Bush crowd. He doesn't give a rat's posterior about the black community. He just want people to dislike Air America.

Here's his email address: zchafets @yahoo.com

4. Chafets is a mindless shill ....
one of his pieces he wrote that he thought Magic Johnson would make a great Republican candidate for the Senate from NY and in another he was making hay over some Israel-India ties and making it sound like the entire Hindu population was just going to bow down and lick Israel's shoes ... now, that's the process he wants people of color to make
