An unauthorized radio station in the nation's capital called for "massive protests" in the week leading up to the January 20 presidential inauguration.

The station broadcast Wednesday at 1680 AM and identified itself as "Guerrilla Radio, WSQT."

During the identification message, an announcer said, "WSQT is a project of urban activists in the D.C. area working on housing issues, homeless issues, issues of war, issues of occupation both at home and abroad, and issues of the environment that we all have to live in."

After being tipped by a reporter, an official with the Federal Communications Commission said enforcement investigators will try to pinpoint the transmitter using direction-finding equipment.

2. Until liberals are able to take back the media

pirate radio may be one of the few ways we can get out the truth. Hope the mediawhores are unable to move the cameras fast enough when the Shrub cruises down the avenue on Jan 20 and thousands turn their backs....

4. Argh! Subversion!

Quick! Call the Stasi grunts! Someone's plotting against our Dear Leader!!

What happened to our normal channels?

What happened to text messaging?

I'd say we were freer 30 years ago compared to our so advanced NOW.

3. Great!

"High crime treason we broadcasting sedition…
Commandeering airwaves from unknown positions
Live and direct we coming never pre-recorded
With information that will never be reported
Disregard the mainstream media distorted
We're coming listener supported."
