KPFA: The Save KPFA Fox-Like Survey

by Harold Bennington
This ridiculous survey was sent to the Save KPFA mailing list this morning.
The questions reflect the finest right-wing polling techniques for simplistic and manipulative questions. Forward to anyone who objects on principal to deceptive and misleading polling practices.

by Stop Hate Pacifica Gang
These Gang of Republican Party friends, including many former Communist Party members, are clearly the latest government effort to destroy Pacifica. The shameful attack on free speech on our free speech radio on Friday, April 29, 2011 at 8 a.m., by cutting off the microphones of the outstanding Tracy Rosenberg and Richard Phelps, 2 Love Pacifica supporters on the LSB, should mandate that all of the Hate Pacifica gang be kicked off the LSB as they all are anti-free speech and proud of it. It should also mandate that all staff who complied with the shut off be terminated immediately. Here is the audio, with Tracy Rosenberg announcing at 8:30 that she and Richard had been there since 8 a.m. and their microphones were not turned on until 8:30 a.m., after either Margy Wilkinson or Pamela Drake coldly lie that Tracy and Richard had just arrived. ONLY PAID GOVERNMENT OPERATIVES COULD ACT SO DESPICABLY.

They are currently promoting this audio on the SaveKPFA as though it demonstrates their brilliance, when in fact it demonstrates their fascism. Tracy Rosenberg, the obvious target of one of the questions to recall LSB members, SHOULD BE GIVEN AN AWARD OF EXCELLENCE IN SERVICE OF PACIFICA. Richard Phelps is also outstanding for all his legal work. THE HATE PACIFICA GANG ALSO PROMOTE A LIE IN ONE QUESTION: Hard Knock Radio is remaining in the afternoon because it is an after school program for workingclass youth.

At least 4 of the people on the Hate Pacifica LSB majority team got their training on being government operatives in the Communist Party, a Democratic Party front organization at least since the 1940s. After all, you cannot claim to support communism and at the same time support an utterly reactionary capitalist party such as the Democratic Party, the twin party of war and fascism with the Republicans. These 4 are Margy Wilkinson, Jack Kurzweil and Matt and Conn Hallinan. As to the possible 5th, Malcolm Burnstein, he was a partner in the Communist Party law firm of Treuhaft, Walker & Burnstein, and that is certainly close enough. The entire Hate Pacifica gang proudly promotes the Wellstone Democratic Club. They also support Republican Party lawyers since one of the Hate Pacifica Gang and former LSB member, Sarvajit Randawa, married chair of the San Francisco Republican Party on Feb 5, 2011, Harmeet Dhillon, whose law firm sued Pacifica with Brian Edwards Tiekert, Mitch Jeserich and Lewis Sawyer as their plaintiffs, in a phony lawsuit over the staff election to the LSB, which if there were problems, could easily be redone as it only involves some 200 people. Now they are threatening a SLAPP suit against Tracy Rosenberg over some Emails. Here is the story:

and
here is Tracy's explanation letter to this fascist law firm over the Emails:

STOP THE HATE PACIFICA GANG. Call Andrew Phillips, Station Manager, 510.848.6767 X203
and demand that the Hate Pacifica operatives at the station be fired, starting with as many warning notices as possible. The shut off of the microphones, the spreading of rumors on the air, such as the Merrill Lynch lie, and the favorable promotion of a fascist police chief, Greg Suhr, in the 2-5 year usual change of chief thug in San Francisco, which story should not have even been on the air are only the tip of the iceberg. We cannot tolerate these fascist Democrat-Republican till tappers destroying our radio station.

by Laughs At Invective
“Gang of Republican Party friends,” “Communist Party members,” “PAID GOVERNMENT OPERATIVES,” “fascism,” “the Communist Party, a Democratic Party front organization…”

Nice use of invective! Never mind if the labels contradict each other. Just throw it all at the wall and hope something sticks!

Please keep it up. It makes it really clear where the insanity lives at KPFA and Pacifica.
by inconvenient truth
Communist Party,Democratic Party,Republican Party.
These are distinct labels.
But why would are rulers object if people with a communist tendency were delivered to a status quo ideology.
That's what CPUSA did.The 'contradiction' turned into it's opposite.
The CPUSA passes out American flags to immigrants at immigrant rights rallies.
What's to red-bait?
Save KPFA,you got a lot of problems.
But I still dont know about your nemesis either.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
