Please write to AM760 and express your disapproval of their Saturday show 'USA Biker Nation' hosted by PETER BOYLES! Their 'Clear Channel' is showing!

This is my letter to them (via their website Link )

"I believe you are showing your disrespect and disdain for your listeners by airing a show whose host is the arch-fascist Peter Boyles. Come on! Ed Schultz and CBS News are bad, but Boyles is egregious. Didn't you dispose of one Saturday show because of their liberal remarks (on a, supposedly, liberal radio station)? Thanks to Reagan/Clinton/Bush efforts, you're about my only choice for moderate and liberal talk. Don't slap me in the face with Boyles!"

Remember, the media is complicit.

Why Peter Boyles?
By Ralph T May 7th 2007 at 11:55 am EDT
I can only hope that you have placed some un-breakable control on Peter Boyles for "USA Biker Nation." Otherwise his consistently pompous, hate-filled, truth absent, absurd neocon rantings will truly undermine the integrity and journalistic prestige of AM 760.

Do not be fooled into believing that exploiting his niche appeal to the 2-wheel ear-drum bursting muffler crowd for advertising/profit advantage will vindicate you when he falls into his old ways. Giving him a new radio forum to mislead and misinform the public is your responsibility.

Hey, who's being bias here? Peter Boyles says it like it is and he is a big plus in the world of minuses! Please be aware that there is this thing called a channel changer. Don't like it, change the channel! I like Peter Boyles and would never ask for a change. We need more like him....
  
The arch-fascist Peter Boyles?

Getting a little extreme with our language, aren't we? Let me tell you what Peter supports and actively on his own show:

Full rights of gays and lesbians including the right to marry and adopt children.

Labor unions.

Campaign finance reform.

Stopping the exportation of industry and jobs just so US corporations can use slave labor elsewhere in the world.

Full rights of women.

Full rights of all people of color.

Getting out of Iraq - now.

Getting George Bush out of the White House as quickly as possible.

You one trick ponys who have only one issue - immigration - and define everyone by their position on that issue alone make me crazy.

I'm sorry, I thought this was a Progressive/Liberal website. You make it sound like Peter should be cannonized. Here are some items in defense of my position that Peter is a righty.

He's a Tancredo supporter and fundraiser. That alone should be enough.

He defended the outing of Valerie Plame/Wilson

He believes the Imus incident is about a campaign by the Left to drive conservative talk radio off the air (can you say “conspiracy theorist”?).

Boyles defended Bill O'Reilly's producer's apparent stalking of a female Denver Post journalist

Regarding "the Arab world” he said “You can beat your woman up over there. You can, seriously. Think about it. I mean, you know the role of women in the Muslim society. Don't tell me it's not true, 'cause it's true. You know, put the pimp hand on her -- you know, I'll straighten her out. "

He condones our military’s use of torture.

He's mocked Japanese accents, on air, saying "[A]s they said in Japan, you got 'erection' day."

He frequently gets his immigration statistics wrong (probably intentional).

Boyles campaigned against Ritter and called Mayor Hickenlooper "Mayor Chickenlooper".

Wasn’t he a proponent of Beauprez for governor?


Jimbo, "One trick pony" - huh?

Sorry but a least half of your "facts" are wrong.

Boyles does not support torture and did not support Beauprez. He thinks Beauprez is a complete idiot.

I have heard him condemn the Plame outing, repeatedly.

He condemned what Imus did. He does complain about both the left's and the right's demands for "political correctness" - but that is no conspiracy it is simply a fact.

The fact is the Middle East Muslim world has a pretty despicable record when it comes to women's rights and how women are treated.

On immigration - yes, he makes mistakes - but more often than not he is correct.

I do not believe that Boyles campaigned against Ritter. He has been critical of Ritter - but so am I - read my posts.

As for Hickenlooper - what is so special about a bar owner becoming mayor. I don't find him worth spending my time supporting or defending.

Peter is no saint and I did not say that he should be cannonized. He is a complex human being. I agree with him about a lot of things and disagree with him on many things.

As for my left wing credentials, I would match them up against yours any day of the week.
  
I fall in with Boyles...
By Doc May 8th 2007 at 9:17 am EDT
While in the past I would have agreed with some of you on Boyles right wing creditials, after the heat he took from the Talibangelists and hardcore right wingers for exposing Ted Haggert, I think he's proven his wings as a balanced, non-talking head party line Foxist. I think if we are truly progressive, voices like Boyles are the ones that should be heard, instead of the lock step talking points radio talk show freaks featured on most arch-conservative media sources.
