I heard them say that on the radio I am as outraged now as I was then. Nice to know who we've had supporting us in education isn't it?

It will be no surprise I'm sure but I am a member of a butt-load of political groups and have been signing petitions to have this dirty bastard fired, like crazy. I also have been writing for a a couple of blogs and spreading the word. Who know's , every voice counts , right ?

Bush {or as I call him Herr Shrub} and his right-hand man Rove have shown a willingness to use their own as scapegoats. They'll dress him down for bringing more negative attention to them. But now he's a highly paid host of a radio show, it needs to be the owners of that station who take action. And I agree , if the comment was about Jews or Christian right -wingers he would be gone already and that is because both of those groups have vocal and powerful lobby -ist. So the responsibility is ours. Where are the voices of our community interest ? We need to demand action and justice.And it does work ,it's hard but it does. We threatened to stop buying advertisers products until he was gone~ He is on "leave now" we say that's not enough. We keep calling the station ,writing letters to the advertisers and local Reps not allowing the story to fade away and keeping pressure on them. ...I have to believe that is better than sitting quietly , as you say "you never know ".... Man ,that was a long arsed reply...I think I'm pissed off ...
