KFMB: Barbara Boxer represents the WORST this country has to offer.
So, intimates, Rick Roberts on their morning show on AM Radio
in San Diego. He ranted and raved about Boxer, spewing forth
every degrading expletive he could muster about our fine hero.
I was so mad, I almost had an accident with my car.

He is demanding all Californians
recall Senator Barbara Boxer (like they did to
Jim Davis, the Governor).

Let's give him (and his boss)
our opinion! Are you with me
on this? Mail or email or
preferably both. We have to
let them know we won't tolerate
this.

1. Rick Roberts is just another disgusting Limbaugh wanna-be. Hate and filth.

2. I'm with you!
I listen to KLSD AM1360. I can't stomach the other station.

I'll be sure to voice my concerns.

Thanks for the heads up.

Nicki :)

3. Hmm... I'd tell you what I think of Rick Roberts...
But, DU prohibits that kind of language here.

5. Because he loves his hero and mentor, Michael Savage
Every day he becomes more and more like Savage.
Purely amazing. Monkey see, monkey do. Savage gets
good ratings from berating everything, so Roberts
mimics him.

9. Michael Savage is probably the sickest person I've...
heard in a long time. He made some particularly nasty comments about the tsunami victims and how we should *not* send them any money at all, so I got curious and went to his website.

Big mistake. It's vile and disgusting and promotes nothing but hate and violence.

I sent him a rather scathing email. I kept it clean, but pointed out his failings as a human being.

You can't argue with these people. In their eyes, they're alway right.

31. Michael Savage: what a piece of work
Ever since the election he's suddenly anti-war. And then there was the comment about women in the miliary only being there for shoes and an abortion. I thought the top was going to come off my head. He was saying that dumb as dognuts soldiers should just shut up and do what their told when that group of soldiers refused to go out in rickitty machines and tainted gas.

What ever happened to those soldiers? Are they okay? Did they get prosecuted?

6. Done
I sent a letter explaining that she was not qualified based on the fact that she presided over the single largest failure in national security in american history on 9-11. She does not deserve a promotion, she deserves the door as well as does her boss.

15. Nashyra, see our new LETTER OF THE WEEK Forum...
with mass mailing capability.

Our 1st sample letter is about the media and the DC protests--gives media reasons to cover the ;protesters and not Bush boring show, link to MEDIA BLASTER (very easy mass emailing to media)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x294547

And here's our original forum where we're talking about LETTER OF THE WEEK, prioritizing topics and targets of letters, AND, current draft letter to Senators on Condaleeza Rice (you make a similar point as we do--that she's not qualified):

7. These people are EVIL
We need to rally around Boxer right now to combat this, especially those of us in California. We can't let them get away with another Bush-regime propaganda campaign that takes away one of our Democratic leaders.

They attacked and destroyed Gray Davis because he repealed a TEMPORARY rebate on car registrations when this state needed money to recover from the Texas-oil-created energy "crisis." They replaced him with a Hitler and Bush fan whose movie in theaters at the time showed him bashing a woman in the face with a toilet seat.

Ugh, This is going to turn into an incoherent rant in a second, so I'd better stop.

:mad: :grr:

26. We will NOT let them even start a Recall again!
If anyone should be recalled, it should be Roberts...and I told them so.
I also told them we knew how to boycott advertisers...and that we tackled far larger broadcasters (such as Sinclair), and had an impact. If they want to fight, we WILL!

10. Here in Sonoma County in Northern Calif.,
we have our own hate-spewing Limbaugh/Savage wannabe. We are a BLUUUUUUE county, and it is our only local 'talk' station.

I have written and called the station manager for over a year. It does no good, even though he has nearly no callers, whereas the previous liberal woman host had interesting guests and lots of callers. Can't say what he's been spewing lately, I no longer can bear to listen to the constant yelling of hatred and venom.

11. Emailed and Done
I also listen to KLSD.

We should email his advertisers at KFMB and tell them we will not buy their products if they continue to support this kind of propaganda.

17. I emailed them too - both of them --we should do the same to
all of these hate-mongers on the RW radio stations - Savage, Hannity, Glen Beck, Bill Woppenberger, Neil Borst, every last one of them!

12. My 2 cents
My my my.

So Ricky boy thinks Boxer has no right to demand accountability from our president's administration? You know, it's fascist little assholes like Roberts that have brought this country to the shamefully misinformed state that it is now. God forbid a senator has the guts to object to myopic incompetence when it comes to national security. Boxer's not a fucking sheep, and I applaud her for it.

Millions of americans are wanting the same answers from Condi Rice concerning her and the administrations constantly fluxing arguments for Iraq war - reasons that keep changing to keep from having to admit they've made a mess of it. And Condi's mismanagement as National Security Advisor has cost this country dearly and if she can't answer for that she has no place being promoted to Secretary of State.

Who is Roberts to demand a recall, as if dissent is somehow unamerican? I'm glad that Boxer thinks that American lives are more than mere cannon fodder for Bush's misleadership.

And, I'm just wondering... Now that we've learned that the Bush administration doesn't mind paying the media to promote it's policies, can you tell us if you have received anything along the same vein? Are your motivations ideologically driven or monetarily? Do tell. As a radio listener, I'm all ears!

31. Let's write to the NY Daily News for slamming Boxer...
...in an incredibly offensive column by Michael Goodwin, which depicts Rice as a paragon, and stops just short of calling Boxer a post-menopausal crazy lady.

http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/272798p-233349c.html
--------

We're working on a letter for massive distribution and mailing (to be posted here at DU sometime today) that will strongly support her on the C Rice interrogation.

19. you can review and comment on the C Rice draft letter at...
...the DU site above.

Boxer is obviously getting "the treatment." I remember when they did this to Hillary Clinton. I've never heard such foul things on the radio!

Next project, after getting back our right to vote, must be to get these guys off the radio.

I think Media Matters is working on some campaigns. Haven't visited there lately.

18. Californians UNITE! The least we can do for our hero, Barbara Boxer!!!
Don't let Rick Roberts get away with this crap.
A caller let Stacey Taylor on KLSD know what Rick Roberts said.
And boy, did he rant about what a jerk Roberts is (even though
he never mentioned his name because of station policy).

There are enough posters on this board that we CAN do something
about Roberts. We need to write the station, email the station,
call the station. Here is a list of their advertisers
and phone numbers: http://760kfmb.com/advertisers/index.php

Write and email their advertisers. I do believe we can make
a difference. Why not at least try? Barbara did her best for
us and great cost and danger to her career -- HOW ABOUT WE DO SOMETHING AS EASY AS THIS FOR HER????

20. My email:
Subject: You've got a problem....

........and his name is Rick Roberts.

Senator Barbara Boxer is a true patriotic and courageous leader. If you allow anyone to slander her on your broadcast channel, you will have supported defaming the character of a highly respected member of Congress and someone many Americans admire.

Expect to hear from us.

We won't screech and whine and whimper like your Rick-i-wanna-be-Rush Roberts; we will simply find ways to convince those who pay for advertising on your station to take their business elsewhere.

Thank you,
xxxxxxx

27. Might also remind them that Kerry voted with her.
Edited on Thu Jan-20-05 03:00 PM by Carolab
And half the voters in this country sided with him.

Also, throw Rice's own words back at him, that if a citizen can't go their town square and voice their views, they are living "in a society of fear".
