SAVE THE SPOCKO!

Mike Stark is organizing a blogswarm and I think I should get involved. Here are the basics, click on the post title for more info.

Background:

Spocko is a blogger who has done admirable work against wingnuttery by alerting national advertisers to the crap that's put on the air by KFSO. Here's just a couple of example mp3 clips:

"the day will come when unpleasant things are going to happen to a bunch of stupid liberals. It’s going to be amusing to watch, [cohosts laughter] very amusing to watch."


"a bull’s-eye painted on her big wide laughing eyes."


Mike Stark's Plan:

The mission is this. Spocko’s ISP, 1&1, has been served a cease and desist letter by ABC. Cowardly or otherwise, they chose to avoid conflict by shutting Spocko’s site down rather than defending the electronic rights of their subscriber. As a result, this audio is no longer available for download from Spocko’s blog and ABC/Disney probably think they’ve won a significant battle. We won’t stand for their bullying and intimidation. If you host a blog, please download each of the clips I’ve linked to in this post and host them at your site.
