Read about the assault against hate speech on Radio & TV by the National Hispanic Media Coalition
Edited on Sun Mar-01-09 10:09 AM by 1776Forever
National Hispanic Media Coalition video presentation at this site:

http://www.nhmc.org /

On this site you will hear what is being done by the NHMC to get hate filled speech off the radio & TV by Savage, Hannity, Limbaugh and other right-wing hate filled messages.

Congratulations to this organization!

At this site you can read their plea to the FCC:

1. From the study
TYPES OF HATE SPEECH

We identified four types of speech that, through negative statements, create a climate of hate and prejudice: (1) false facts, (2) flawed argumentation, (3) divisive language, and (4) dehumanizing metaphors.


That seems to sum up ALL of the programs on the right. I can't imagine having to listen to these shows to compile data.

As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said:

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

Any of us who feel that the hate filled talk on Radio & TV, let alone all the talk about Revolution and Civil War as written about by Glenn Greenwald here:

is wrong and not what our founders meant in the 1st Amendment, must speak out! This must be stopped and stopped NOW!

6. K&R against the idiocy of hate-radio
I commend them. I don't like listening to hate radio, so bless 'em for their radio oversight of radical fringe hate media heads like Savage.
