DU this KLIF billboard poll
KLIF 570 AM is a RW hate-radio station in Dallas. You should see the billboards they've been posting all over the city. Then vote in the poll they've provided. The current tally is 16% Yes, 84% No. I think we can do better than that.

2. They're trying to keep everyone afraid
Michael Moore pointed this out very effectively in Bowling For Columbine. Media types love to scare viewers, and nobody loves this more than RW media whores.

6. Nothing wrong?
Please Jack, you have to be kidding.

Let's see.

Saddam pic with caught under it. Okay, fine. Is the US safer because of this? Did catching Saddam get us closer to the pos terrorists that attacked us on 9-11? Did Saddam give up his WMD's?

Arafat pic with dead under it. Did we kill him? Did the US have anything to do with a natural death? No. And whatever you think of Arafat, to simply dead, shows no respect even to an enemy, but then again the US it seems isn't about respect anymore with this admin.

It's all about this: Bin Laden with the word "next." That is just arrogance.

3. Please, please, please
DU the poll. The billboards are disgusting and lack any form of taste or tact. Here is also what one of their commercials look like. It was banned from being shown on any local station here in Dallas/Ft. Worth.

Fear, Fear, Fear!!!!!!

5. Also, watch this bullshit KLIF ad for TV
http://www.klif.com/video/FearFactor.wmv

The Web site says this TV ad has been "banned" and that "Local TV refuses to run it." Bull-fucking-shit. I saw this ad aired at least three times on KDFW (Fox 4) on their morning news program.

9. Saw the ad on-line; they didn't change a thing
The "ban" is bullshit - it appeared on TV screens in D/FW.

Now they're running a sappy TV ad with a letter from a soldier in Iraq, complete with on-cue choking back of tears. We've got your number, FReeper media fucks....

10. Kick - but with a purpose
Did anyone in D/FW see KLIF's new bullshit FReeper Iraq ad reading what's supposed to be a letter from a US soldier?

"I felt your prayers, Dad..." (Complete with fake choking back of fake tears)

DU this hate-radio site THOROUGHLY! Just remember - Bush only took Dallas County by 50% compared to Kerry's 49%. Help us Texan DUers out!

18. Why not work to get a Progressive Station on the air
Or work to promote one in the area. You're not gonna make hate radio go away and making all sorts of noise about it is what these assholes love...say good, say bad...just say. Whether you hate 'em or love 'em, you're listening and that's all they care.

Why not organize some folks in the area to either work with a college station and establish an alternative voice.

22. Even better than DUing the poll, DU the sponsors......
Edited on Fri Feb-11-05 04:48 PM by WritersBlock
How nice of them to list websites & phone numbers. If I were buying a Honda, for instance, I know where I -wouldn't- buy it now. :)

Edit to say that I'm sickened. I used to listen to KLIF when I was a kid. They played great music back then, and I thought they were the best station in Texas. Oh how they have FALLEN.
