ACTION ALERT-- please call Coast to Coast am tonight
Usually they talk about UFOs and weird things and it is a fun show, but George Noory has now taken conspiracy theory to a new level and had that Berg guy re: Obama's birth certificate on last night.

Tonight? Open lines on the election. A certain percentage of his listeners just do talk radio 24/7 and you can imagine what they are like. Here are the numbers: (oh yes, it is 12am to 4am eastern time). There are millions of listeners, some of whom put way too much stock in the program. But there are also many very savvy listeners. Most of the guests seem like Democrats, though it is not a political show.

www.coasttocoastam.com

Numbers:

Western US: 1-800-618-8255 (toll free)
Eastern US: 1-800-825-5033 (toll free)
First time caller: 1-818-501-4721
Wild Card line: 1-818-501-4109 (anyone can call)

Among other things Berg was spewing this bs about Obama blacking out the birth certificate number (the number is actually on factcheck.org, along with MANY pictures with raised seals, etc.--it is 151-1961-010641). Also faulted him for not having the full version of birth certificate, with birth weight, which is NOT AVAILABLE to ANYONE in Hawaii. George is either ignorant of the Dept. of Health director of Hawaii statement confirming birth in Hawaii or he chose to ignore it.

Here is the number



If you have all your facts about this issue, please call in, and make sure that someone counteracts all that misinformation. George is very respectful of all points of political views, even bs lies, unfortunately.

PLEASE CALL IF YOU ARE AWAKE (easier for the left coasters).

I'm going to try to call and just say I am disappointed in him in his lack of knowledge about the issue (not that he had Berg on the show--he has lots of strange people on the show.

1. Obama's Birth Certificate Verified
http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2008/11/03/obamas-birth-certificate-verified/

"Well, on Friday, the Director of Hawaii's Department of Health, Dr. Chimoye Fukino, finally got tired of listening to ridiculous chorus coming from McCain/Palin supporters and he went to personally inspect the original birth certificate. :

Fukino said she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama's original birth certificate.

"Therefore, I as Director for the State of Hawai'i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai'i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures, Fukino said.

Fukino said that no state official, including Gov. Linda Lingle, ever instructed that Obama's certificate be handled differently from any other."

2. I know
I am tempted to try to get him to call in. If anyone knows him, please try. I am telling you guys that this issue could actually influence a significant number of listeners of that show. Many of them are persuadable by issues like this, and a whole lot of them don't have access to the internet. So they get most of their information from the radio. Sheesh.

11. Note that Gov. Lingle is a repuke
and Dr. Fukino is her hand-picked appointee. (It's "Chiyome", by the way.)

Even they know it's BS.

3. I thought Noory had banned him from the program, along with Corsi? NT

4. I have NO idea why he had this guy on (Berg?)
He won't let Corsi talk about politics. But he has had him on about other issues, like about how oil is made, or foreign policy.

For some reason, George feels that it is possible that Obama was not born in Hawaii. Man, is it ever idiotic. I have been emailing him lots of stuff, and even the producer Lisa.

If you don't stay up at night, at least email him about Dr. Chimoye Fukino (Hawaii Dept. of Health head) confirming the birth certificate, the birth certificate number being online, etc.

george@coasttocoastam.com

If he gets enough emails on this subject, he might at least mention this *news* item.

5. Is that the same Jerome Corsi...
Who has been accused of being a part of a Child Pornography ring?

7. probably
The guy is BAD, BAD, BAD. I have to say the guests on that show are extremely eclectic, as is the audience. And some of them are way to easily influenced by crap like this. That's why it could help to call in (or email if you can't call).

9. He FREQUENTLY hosts Jerome CORSI, the SwiftBOT/Minuteman co-writer
And NOORY isn't much fun. He can't fill Art BELL's sandals and he knows it.


Plus, I've e-mailed him before to complain (it was about CORSI) and he replied with a testy denial.

10. try it anyway
He does rein in Corsi, I'll have to say that. I think it will help if he gets a lot of emails about the Hawaii Department of Health, AND the number of the birth certificate.

12. You rated a reply. Some don't! I've tried to tactfully tell him how people who listen to that show
don't view it as a political forum, would prefer if he steps away from bringing on his right-wing guests, since we already have hate radio for that.

Big silence.

Not surprised about the reply you got, however. Looks as if his real sentiments are well disguised by his phony kindly, grandfatherly, gentlemanly demeanor.

Art is somewhat loonytoons, but at least he doesn't masquerade as someone else, particularly!

Corsi has just about overstayed a normal welcome. LOATHESOME, slimy monster.

Can't imagine which one would win the world's worst scumbucket award: Lying, Fascist Corsi, or Lying, Fascist Berg.

14. They knew that Chiyome verified the birth certificate.
Berg claimed Chiyome didn't say it was a Hawaiian birth certificate so it could have been from Kenya. I'm real pissed at Noory. He had someone on the other night who claimed Berg's suit was pending in Ohio when, in fact, it had already been thrown out by the Judge. I emailed and asked him for a retraction, but I got no response. Now he puts the piece of shit on the air. Noory has 11 million listeners so this is no joking matter.

While the show was about the paranormal, with Noory, Fox has taken it political by always presenting extreme right-wing and unscientific viewpoints on subjects like global warming, peak oil, immigration and Obama. Noory pretends to be fair, but he refuses to allow opposing viewpoints to be heard. The show is now using Art Bell's format as a propaganda tool.

15. I see it slightly differently, though the result is the same
Edited on Mon Nov-03-08 09:39 PM by itsjustme
George is, well, easily influenced. Good grief I buy into all kinds of conspiracy stuff, but he has just gone absurd. I really think this is a George deal instead of a Fox deal.

Beyond the birth certificate thing, he completely stops them from saying more.

YOU ARE RIGHT THAT IT IS NO JOKING MATTER.

Please, everyone write to george@coasttocoastam.com before tonight's show. Tell him Obama's birth certificate number. He is so into ratings. Tell him you will never listen to him again if he doesn't read off the birth certificate number. Or ANYTHING.

Whether you are a listener or not, just say you will stop listening. Bombard him with emails before tonight's show. It is a way to influence far more people than canvassing. I'm drinking coffee if I have to in order to stay up and call in tonight.

Of course sometimes that puts me to sleep. 151-1961-010641

17. Please email threatening to cancel "Streamlink"
I just thought about that.

I actually pay fifty dollars a year to listen to stuff. If he doesn't have someone on TONIGHT to counter the person last night I am not renewing.

Please email

george@coasttocooastam.com and tell him you had almost decided to become a Streamlink member but last night was too much.

He needs to have someone on TONIGHT to counter that crap.

I've already done this from three different email addresses.

Also

Lisa@coasttocoastam.com

Tom@coasttocoastam.com

WHATEVER.

This is serious and I am telling you MORE IMPORTANT THAN CANVASSING OR TAKING PEOPLE TO THE POLLS.
