These are the comments I just sent 770 KOB after learning this hate monger is carried in the local radio market... SAW To Whom It May Concern: As the parent of a four-year-old child with asthma, I am deeply disturbed and offended by Michael Savage's latest vulgar tirade [July 16th] and even more disturbed to learn that he is carried anywhere in the local "news" radio market. During the same broadcast in which Savage labeled autism a "fraud" and a "racket," he went on to state: "[W]hy was there an asthma epidemic amongst minority children? Because I'll tell you why: The children got extra welfare if they were disabled, and they got extra help in school. It was a money racket. Everyone went in and was told [fake cough], 'When the nurse looks at you, you go [fake cough], "I don't know, the dust got me." ' See, everyone had asthma from the minority community." My husband and I had to rush our daughter to Gibson Lovelace's ER twice before she was a year old because she was turning blue from breathing difficulties that turned out to be childhood asthma we are hopeful (based upon numerous consultations with a pediatric asthma specialist) she'll outgrow. It was terrifying! Savage should be ashamed of himself, except that if anyone is motivated by the almighty dollar here, it's him...and the stations who carry him. As an attorney, I believe strongly in the First Amendment. But Savage's "right" to free speech does not entitle him to advertisers, nor does it entitle 770 KOB to think it will get anything other than a rough ride for sponsoring this fatuous and vicious lout. Having learned that Michael Savage is carried in the local radio market, I intend to do all that I can to stir up local sentiment to pressure advertisers to pull their advertising from 770 KOB until 770 KOB pulls the plug on this hate mongering excuse for a human being.
