RE: Mark Williams and KFBK Sacramento

I'll still use KFBK for Rush when I listen and for Hannity delayed when I listen to his show.

I'd like to add something for those who may be reading this and do not know/remember the Mark Williams show on KFBK. Williams BTW was more of a Robert Kennedy liberal rather than a Goldwater conservative IMO. That was from a time when both were Americans first.

KFBK management wanted Williams silenced for the usual reason, they were fraught with fear.

Anti-American harassment of the station by Islamists, some employees of the Sacramento Bee "newspaper" who are sympathetic to CAIR, illegal alien "immigrant rights" groups, gay rights groups advocating gay marriage, and "anti-war" activist Bush-haters; also some were simply unnerved by Mr. Williams such as the Schwarzenegger Administration, the California Republican Party, the California Democratic Party and Party activists. Williams coined the name SchwarzenKennedy.

(I remember the time Williams urged people to get on the phone and call a Schwarzenegger official with a protest message. The guy was listening and he used call forwarding to route his incoming calls to Williams call-in number. A good laugh was had by all.)

.. back to why Williams was silenced. After he was off the air he sometimes filled in at KSFO -- including filling in for Lee Rodgers. Ms Melanie Morgan thought the world of Williams (for the mischievousness cited above) and she was still there at the time. On a KSFO evening show that he fill-in hosted he said -- I swear this is what he said -- one of the main reasons he was let go was because KFBK management wanted him to back gay marriage and he refused to do so. That is what I remember him saying.

Williams was into activism as was Melanie Morgan of KSFO. Their early rallies were the first I had heard of what became the Tea Party movement. Williams is still very active in the Tea Party movement.

My suspicion was that their activism concerned both KFBK and KSFO.
