Groups want 'John and Ken' show off the air [ Supporters of Illegals seek to stop Constitution ]
Los Angeles Times ^ | Sept 30 2011 | Paloma Esquivel,

Posted on 09/30/2011 5:48:37 PM PDT by NoLibZone

The popular KFI radio hosts gave out the cellphone number of an immigrant rights activist, prompting hate-filled calls. Minority and immigrant rights groups say they will boycott advertisers if the show isn't taken off the air.

Long-time immigrant rights activist Jorge-Mario Cabrera is used to being called to task for his views. But when radio hosts John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou recently gave out his cellphone number on the air in a campaign against the California Dream Act, he found himself unprepared for the barrage of hate-filled phone calls that followed.

In the days after the KFI-AM (640) radio hosts read Cabrera's cellphone and office numbers on the air and told listeners opposed to state tuition assistance for illegal immigrants to call him, Cabrera, a spokesman for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, got more than 400 calls, many of them filled with hateful language and calls for violence.

"It's never been as cutting, as humiliating as these calls were," Cabrera said. "These calls were intent to diminish me as a person.

The National Hispanic Media Coalition led what some believe was a successful campaign to get television host Lou Dobbs off the air at CNN for similar reasons. Dobbs resigned days after the coalition's president met with the head of the news network, but the network has denied that the meeting led to the resignation.

Now the coalition has joined with several major Latino and immigrant rights groups, including the National Assn. of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials and the National Immigration Law Center, in calling on the radio station to remove the show's hosts or face a boycott of its sponsors.

We need a class action suit against Jorge-Mario Cabrera and Alex Nogales of the National Hispanic Media Coalition for costs associated for every American killed or injured by a drunk illegal immigrant.

Unlike the charges by Jorge or the LA Times Times- those are documented.

Better get on KFI’s website and speak up for those guys. Lots of spittle on that show, but they are funny. Now we can’t be funny?? Always winter but never Christmas here in California.

Remember when the old 60s hippie mantra was, “I don’t agree with what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it.” What a bunch of drama queens that crowd was. The new Nazi hippies take their right to free speech a lot more seriously. Nowadays it’s always, “STFU or I’ll boycott!” Real tantrum throwers.

Why am I not surprised that they attracted the attention of Latino Fascists.

Those guys are all the time looking for the military to put down public discussion.

I still hate the way they let go John Ziegler but KFI has been the same libertarian oasis in this effing blue homo illegals-infested city of L.A.

They’ve always been threatened at KFI. Remember the McArthur Park “SI SI PUEDE” rally where the LAPD cracked some skulls? KFI gave a popular show right after it defending the LAPD and got every death threat imaginable from La raza etc...

they’re used to it by now. Even the LAPD listens to that show.

Supporters of illegals are racist.

They always say attacks on illegals is hatred toward Hispanics.

Thus stating that they believe the vast majority of illegals are Hispanic!

It's part of their culture. Just lie about everything, and accuse everyone of racism who refuses to lay down, and watch them beat America like a pinata.

La Raza = wacked out semi-Indian gangsters who hate Anglo (Europeans) They kill each other wholesale in Mexico in drug gang wars in Indian bloodletting rituals.
