"a bunch of socialist baby-killing maggots"
“They’re a bunch of socialist maggots that’s what I’m going to call them — socialist maggots, that’s what they are, a bunch of socialist baby-killing maggots”

~Alaskan conservative talk show host Eddie Burke speaking about a group of local women who are holding an anti-Palin rally this weekend.

Mr. Burke read the names and telephone numbers of two organizers on the air, encouraging his listeners to call them directly to share their opinions. He found the names and contact information on the public service announcement request form sent to KBYR as part of the PSA package.

And he supports the Iraq War.

Interesting comments on dehumanization from the pastor of the Knoxville church shot up by a hate radio listener.

4. A vile, despicable, pathetic excuse for a human being.
Beneath contempt.

Yes, this is what we're dealing with.

And recommended. Everyone should read this.

6. The hate and fear-mongering is only going to get worse.
The liberals want to kill their babies and the gays want to steal their bibles and destroy their marriages. It's despicable. :(

5. If people think this doesn't matter
Think about what happened in Rawanda. Much of the violence was prompted and driven by hate radio.

Why do you think that the first thing we do in a war is come up with names for the enemy. Once you have divorced them from the humanity we all share, it's easier to kill them.

And, as we have seen, releasing their personal information is a form of intimidation. It serves as retribution for going against their "mission" and a warning for others not to do it if they are not up for the harassment.

16. Going after sponsers is generally more effective
But that would require listening to the show to know who those are. :shudder:

15. Gee, I call him and his ilk "a bunch of Fascist, human-killing Ebola viruses".
Maybe he is unaware of the healing quality of maggots.

19. Corporate CONTACT info right here!!
Morris Communications Group in Georgia: http://morriscomm.com/profile/ethics.shtml

I found Eddie Burke's info page, and the company that owns the station (or his show) is Morris Communications Group. They show an Anchorage Media Group on their page. So that's him.

Take a look at the "Ethics" page, and there is a contact place to report an employee. Be polite, but pointed, but complain about that pig.
