SF Blogger using KSFO's words agaisnt them, its working!
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2007/01/11/MNGHLNGH2N1.DTL

"For the past year, Spocko has been e-mailing advertisers of KSFO-AM with audio clips from its shows and asking sponsors to examine what they're supporting. Some sponsors have pulled their ads, after hearing clips like one of KSFO's Lee Rodgers suggesting that a protester be "stomped to death right there. Just stomp their bleeping guts out."

Fantastic! This blogger is taking audio from the webpage of the most ridiculous wingnut station, KSFO in San Francisco, and mailing it to advertisers so they are aware of the violent bullshit they spew.

Hes encountering some problems but for the most part its working! Advertisers are pulling out!

IMHO, its the most awful of the stations because they go so freaking overboard to counteract the 'SF liberal Pelosi values.'
My Raider games are broadcasted on it and I throw up at all the Limbaugh, Savage, DR Laura, Hannitize adverts you have to sit through.

Go visit this dudes blog!

1. We had some great success with the
Michigan Economic Development Corporation. A bunch of people from MichiganLiberal contacted them and they're pulling their advertising. They had no idea!

2. Michigan seems to be really similar to Arizona, where i live.
at its core, working people who are pretty much just moderate, common sense people.
But also, huge infestations of some really creepy pugs. Im sure this could be said for anywhere, but I just expect both these states to be suuuuuper lib all the way.

9. We're blue, but not everywhere
There are definite areas that are totally red and others, like my town, that are extremely blue. It's a mix, but I don't know the last time we voted for a Repub president. Gov. Granholm had a tight race this last time, supposedly, but she wound up winning by 12 or 14%.

3. It is such a shame what KSFO became...
I grew up in the Bay Area & KSFO was my father's station so I heard it a lot in the car. Later I listened to Al 'jazzbeau' Collins late night on the weekends.

I'm glad this guy's doing this & having success at it.

5. i first moved to the Bay Area a few years back,
and I was literally shocked when i first heard it. I thought of one place there would be absolutely no market for this shit...
I suppose everywhere has some assholes, but I only met about one and a half in SF..

7. I used to listen to the Giants' games on KSFO
Those are fond memories of a once-respectable radio station.

4. This is really David against Goliath
Disney is the multi-billion dollar mega corporation with lawyers up the wazoo... Spocko is a guy whose blog got 15 hits a day.

8. Classic David v Goliath tale...
One person got tired of the hate and used KSFO's own words against them. Now Disney is putting it's multi-billion dollar resources to work to crush him. Even though every thing Spocko's done is totally legal.

If only this was being followed by the national media.

18. Maybe something we should email to Olbermann?
I can see Colbert doing something on it - "no matter how small you are, if you speak against the people responsible for "Path to 9/11", we will find you and stop you..."

12. Great strategy. Should we do the same with advertisers on Glen Beck?
Don't waste time on CNN, go directly for the pocketbook!

19. Rats hate light. The bigger this gets the better.
I would love to see him on MSM talk shows discussing how the Disney Rats shut him down. AAR should be all over this.
