An exceptional blog

Make sure you check out Spocko’s Brain. It’s a good blog in a general sense, but absolutely stellar in a particular way, because of the course Spocko has charted in relation to the ravings of the scum currrently hosting ABC/Disney’s right-wing talk radio station KSFO in San Francisco.

Who is Spocko dealing with? Listen while neocon harpy Anne Coulter has a good chuckle with her fellow syphilitics about a UN peacekeeper dying in South Lebanon. Bend an ear as these well-paid Republican sphincters joke about torture, disfigurement, and the murder of people they don’t like – say, people who disagree with them.

And listen to the response when Spocko’s magnificent plan of complaining to ABC/Disney and advertisers begins to pay off with massive advertiser time cancellations when advertisers realize what sort of garbage their money underwrites. (It took so long for them to wake up because ABC/Disney told advertisers their money was buying ad time on a family station. The John Wayne Gacy family, perhaps.)

I bring this up because Spocko’s basic tactic actually works; people writing letters and e-mails to advertisers asking them if they realize what their money actually buys, and if they realize that their continued presence on these right-wing bloodfests indicates a conscious decision of support.

ABC/Disney, of course, didn’t sit still for this. How dare some liberal blogger tell them what to broadcast? How dare he try to cut their funding! And worse, he supported it with actual clips of audio from their broadcast cesspool. This obviously can’t go on! Their response? Sue Spocko for copyright violation. Free speech for the drooling neocons, but none for any voice of protest. They lost, big time. They were reduced to a 3-hour special that called Spocko names. They didn’t try to defend what they said, because how could they? It would be like dogs eating their own vomit.

So first of all, a shoutout of support to Spocko. And the next logical step would be to put this action into effect on a national level for the advertisers/supporters of Rush Limbaugh (America’s Loudest Junkie), and Bill O’Reilly (America’s Leading Perv).

I realize I’m a little late coming to this, but if anyone knows of letter-writing/boycott campaigns that are ongoing, please let me know and I’d be happy to link to them.
