hello,
i don't know how to e-mail this person and she ignored the letter i sent to the station for her.
i just heard her commentary on the Amerikkkan cowboys shooting Iraqis from a helicopter.
i would like to remind all you liberals and Democrats at KPFA that these are the same arrogant trigger-happy killers you refer to when you say "support the troops--bring them home". as a member of the Musicians Action Group i and at least one other member was so disgusted at this attitude ("our precious innocent red-blooded all-American boys and girls are on the other side of the planet fighting for our freedom") that we almost walked off in protest at a Lafayette Crosses rally on Veterans' Day. would you guys please make up your minds about whether you are against war ("Pacifica", remember?) or whether you support Amerikkka's imperialistic adventures and the young people (and their parents) who endorse them?

Carleton Hoffman,

San Francisco

tghey do not have to say ''PEACE'' or ''peesout!'' after every program. the best way, is like that saturday morning guy who has that program, forgot his name, that political review program, he just says ''bye!''. when you say ''peace'' after every program it sounds like an indoctrinated kind of ''peace moonie'' vibe. just say ''later'' or anything, say ''do something to wake the world up'' anything else besides ''peace!'' , it gives the serios subjects a kind of ''teen club'' vibe. the horrors of america...''peesout everybody!!''. you dont have to prove you are peaceful, it is mass media that needs to prove THEY are not fascists. no more apologetic ''peace!''. or as it sounds like you say ''pace!'' pace picante

this concerne listeners had made kpfa a joke a farce a mockery . they all just so boring and irrelevant . Soon they will be all gone and kpfa will become true again to its fonders.

If you're joining today, you're part of the problem and I don't support you. You're supporting internationalist neocon military policies. People who joined in the past is a different story because policies were not so clear cut then. Our modern volunteer military is made up of vicious, mostly racist militants. That's what I gather from talking to American soldiers joining today. They should be viewed as pariah. They're joining by choice. Nobody's forcing them to.
