Radio station needs to drop hate-filled show

| January 18, 2010 8:00 PM

The notorious right-wing troll Rush Limbaugh continues to explore new depths, as his most comments following the Haiti tragedy attest. While our hearts and wallets open to the victims of the devastating earthquake, Mr. Limbaugh must use the event to make political hay. He has accused our president of catering to fellow blacks, discouraged his listeners from donating to the cause, and most recently accused our commander in chief of using the U.S. military as a “Meals on Wheels.” Is it possible to be more heartless?

While I have never listened to his show (on KSPT-AM 1400) with any regularity, I will begin to, with one purpose in mind — to note his sponsors, both national and local, and make it a point to avoid them. I encourage you to do the same, and I urge KSPT to consider their role in giving voice to this hateful man, place principle before profits, and silence him in North Idaho.
