11. A letter to the editor of the Examiner, a daily newspaper in Independence, MO.

"Back in the 1930s, there was a man who began spouting hatred against other people. Folks must have thought “Oh well, it doesn’t affect me, so they didn’t say anything.” Even the folks being maligned didn’t say anything. Maybe they thought thoughts about Free Speech and such so went on their way, living their lives, ignoring the hatred speeches. After awhile, the man had a following and that following grew. Good people continued to ignore it, not imagining that it could ever go anywhere, perhaps thinking it would die out. Well it didn’t, and millions of people were incinerated in ovens."


"Some are speaking out against Limbaugh's hate rhetoric. Others are ignoring it, thinking thoughts of free speech, thinking it can not possibly go anywhere or affect them in any way. Have we as intelligent knowledgeable people learned from what happened in World War 2? Is it our duty to stand up and speak out against hatred speeches like Limbaugh's? ..........................................

It's time to do something about radio hosts using their positions to spread hate........
