"Do You Know Alan Berg?"

[Ian David]

Monday, January 15, 2007



To a recent poster who asserted that Spocko and other bloggers were “trying to thwart the speech of others”, I responded, “Not quite. They are further propagating the speech of others. You know, as the Bushling said, 'Ya gotta catapult the propaganda'. Honest to God! You’d think that the Neo-Crazies would show some gratitude!!!!”

Indeed. Melanie Morgan, Brian Sussman, and “Officer Vic” of KSFO should be grateful for such publicity, given their profound lack of talent, knowledge and insight.

Although, the KSFO broadcast staff whine and cry “foul” over “liberal’s” response to their inane program, they should commend them for not acting out as right-wing listeners have done in response to broadcasters who are too “liberal” for their tastes ~ namely, issuing death threats and even carrying them out.

Only two months ago, we first heard of Chad Castagana, the 39-year aficionado of Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin who still lives with his mother, from whose home he posted packages containing threatening letters and powdered substances to celebrities whom he deemed too “liberal”.

In one letter meant for Jon Stewart, he wrote:

"Do you know Alan Berg? You should. Death to demagogues."

Actually, Castagana does have a point.

Yes, we should know Alan Berg:

“On June 18, 1984, Denver radio talk-show host Alan Berg was shot and killed by members of 'The Order,' a neo-Nazi domestic terrorist group.

4. Alan was my favorite...

At first, he and Peter Boyle, now with KHOW, were together at KOA. At first, I thought Peter was the sensible one and Alan was crazy. However, the more I listened, I realized that Alan was the one that had a grasp on matters. It was devastating when he was killed.

5. I had a phone conversation with him, just before he was killed

he was stuck on his own ego, frankly. And he was not that liberal, IMO. In the conversation (broadcast on TV!)I pointed out some of his less-than-open-minded statements, and he changed the subject, as I recall.

Still, he was able to annoy right wingers and that was a useful skill! God bless him.

6. Interesting how some "terrorists" get a lot more media coverage than others.

Think if Chad Castagana's name had been "Mohammed Al-Farouk", we might have actually read the story in a newspaper or two?

7. Maybe we should start calling him "Chad bin Castagana," aka "The UnaFreeper." n/t

9. "The Unafreeper"

OMG. That's HUGH! :rofl:
