CA Budget Crisis: KFI talkshow hosts declare "fatwa" on 6 new assembly members
The CA budget is/was one (1) vote away from passing after months and months of fighting between Dems and Repugs in the State Senate and State Assembly. Enter Clear Channel's KFI radio (in Los Angeles) and their drive time hosts, John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou, who have been targeting ALL Republicans who dare vote for taxes at all by putting photos of their heads on sticks on their website. This "heads on a stick" campaign has been so effective at gumming up the works, that Kobylt and Chiampou have made the Sacarmento (state capital) papers. See this thread for more details:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=141x33492

Now, they are going further. They want CA assembly minority leader, Mike Villines, to be overthrown in the hopes that the budget deal can start from scratch with no new taxes. Mike Villines was the Republican leader who helped negotiate the current budget deal. In order to apply intense pressure on the CA GOP, John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou have declared a "fatwa"

John and Ken Fatwa!

Here’s a list of the First-Term Assembly Republicans. Their districts are all in the vast KFI listening area. They must all step up to oust Mike Villines! They have 24 hours to tell us whether or not they will support replacing Mike Villines as Assembly Republican Leader!

-Nathan Fletcher-San Diego

-Curt Hagman-Diamond Bar

-Diane Harkey-San Juan Capistrano

-Steve Knight-Palmdale and Victorville

-Jeff Miller-Orange

-Brian Nestande-Riverside


_______________

If our state goes bust, I will hold these two clowns responsible. And Clear Channel.

3. Incitement to violence
putting photos of their heads on sticks on their website.

Think how quick a lefty would've gone down for putting a photo of, say, Senate repukes' heads on sticks. At least they serve chicken all the time in Gitmo...

4. So between these threats and Limpballs veiled threats
where is the tipping point. It's just a matter of time When one or many of their deranged listners attempt to cause harm to the targets of these neocon haters?

5. The newest thing is Howard Jarvis Tax group
It and KFI are planning recalls (on Rethuglicans!) and referenda to negate the taxes.

7. Do You See Why the Fairness Doctrine is So Important Now?
These aren't just blather mouths spouting their stupid opinions. They are using the taxpayer owned, public airwaves to hustle partisan politics. Dangerous politics. Completely unopposed.

On a side note I heard these clowns laughing it up at the thousands of state workers that are losing their jobs. In this economy no less.

8. These two bloodsucking scumbags...
..."John and Ken," are despicable vermin in Los Angeles radio. They've been on KFI since the very early 1990s, it has always amazed me that the "show" they do is still on the air...it is a literal "good cop - bad cop" schtick with these two shits, with Ken playing the wussy fuckhead with almost liberal tendencies, while John is a certifiable sociopath and egomaniac. He has admitted, for example, intentionally running red lights (in L.A. traffic!), and driving on the shoulder of the freeway when the rest of the traffic is too congested to move, both of which are, as any sane and rational person knows, DANGEROUS and a threat to everyone in his vicinity.

I have been a caller to their show, in their very earliest first few years. It was amusing to fuck with them on the air. Unfortunately, they became so sensationalistic, jingoistic, fascistic and otherwise generally disgusting that they became completely unlistenable/intolerable to me.

I stopped listening to anything or anybody on KFI at least six months before Bu$hler invaded Poland, I mean Iraq.

Clear Channel runs KFI and KTLK 1150 AM, the Air America affiliate in L.A.
