And the shooter could just have easily been FROM the anarchist-socialist-revolutionary Left. They are ticked off that there is music on that station (they want ALL CHOMSKEY-ALL THE TIME) and among other activities, some arsonist set fire to a shed containing part of the station's music library a couple years ago.
There has been an internal power struggle at the station and several attempted coups from within.
Houston PING (and I put my own comments in the first comment).
Alternately, it could be viewed as a form of music criticism - Zydeco sucks.
Oh sure, somebody took a shot at them BECAUSE they are liberal and gay-friendly. Couldn’t possibly be a random shot, directed by some of Houston’s finest citizens.
Of course most of the businesses in Houston have Plexiglass windows. They get those hail storms down there, you know. /s
Never heard of them. Sounds like someone doesn’t like them.
The commies hate the blues shows too, considers it all to be the “same” song:

“10 reasons KPFT is backsliding”
The author also wants Amy Goodman rants on morning drivetime to indoctrinate her kid on the way to school rather than “the morning mix”.
My company’s Houston office gets bullet holes in the windows all the time, just like everybody else.
“What You Gonna Do When The Zydeco Turn On You?”
Ahh-kay.
S’lemme take a crack at this:
The Whack Left gets the House and Senate, but still can’t buffalo the American people into buying their crock o’baloney. So, despite them having a stake in the pending Democrat run at the White House in ‘08, they conclude that the BEST way to move their agenda forward is to assault local media outlets that are left-but-not-left-enough?
Because they play Zydeco?
susie
These are the whacko Left who support Kuccinich, Dean, Sheehan, Chavez, et al.
They aren’t Hillary fans. But it is interesting that the focus of the article and comments from the station is that it is BECAUSE they have radical content on the radio that they were shot, not because they don’t have ENOUGH radical radio (there is some music) and their radical base won’t take NO for an answer.
Another homosexual stunt to get the sympathy vote. The shooter was most likely a homosexual male.
Nobody has explained why the hell the prison population ‘and their families’ would want programming about queer issues? Most of the people in prison in Houston are black, and I don’t know if these libs know this, but the black community don’t like no queer issues.
And the Zydeco stuff is just another unfortunate after-effect of Katrina. Houston got the criminals, the poor, the taggers, the gang members, the unemployable and Zydeco. Too bad for Houston.
Better replace those Plexiglas windows with Lexan.
Zydeco is a musical tradition of Houston, not New Orleans.

It is certainly a political smear against those who oppose the homosexual agenda. And it doesn’t make those at the station any safer to deny the violent radicals in their own ranks.
