In a state where illegal aliens are routinely feted and rewarded because of their potential as future Democrats, there is a refreshing blast of fresh air emanating from the studios of KFI in Los Angeles every afternoon.
Its called the John and Ken show for co-hosts John Kobylt Ken Chiampou, fellows who have become icons to those who respect American sovereignty, the rule of law, and American language and culture.
As expected, these two warriors of truth and advocates of unabashed Americanism find themselves in the cross-hairs of illegal aliens and the nut balls who support illegal invasions of America.
As reported at the slightly edited version of the reference, John and Ken are up to their eyes in controversy yet again:
The 'John and Ken' show is one of the most popular programs on one of the most popular radio stations in the region, and listeners seem to relish the hosts' anger and sense of outrage. While Illegal immigration has long been a particular focus of the show, it's only one of several favorite targets — the hosts have railed against taxes, labor unions and other pet causes for years with equally incendiary rhetoric.Hmm.
The duo regularly uses cutting language to talk about legislators and often ask listeners to call the public phone lines of politicians who disagree with them.
Long-time immigrant rights activist Jorge-Mario Cabrera is used to being called to task for his views. But when radio hosts Kobylt and 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.
Cabrera's numbers were read on air Sept. 1 during a campaign to defeat what the hosts call the "Illegal Alien California Dream Act," a reference to recently approved legislation that would extend state financial aid to college students who are in the U.S. illegally. Gov. Jerry Brown must still sign the bill before it becomes law.
John and Ken urged listeners to call Cabrera, saying he was planning a celebration "on the theft of tax money for illegal aliens." The phone calls started coming and, weeks later, still haven't completely stopped, Cabrera said. One man has called 32 times. Some calls were benign, like one woman who spoke in Spanish and said Cabrera's organization should work to benefit people who are in the country legally.
Last week, the leaders of a dozen groups sent a letter to the station's market manager, program director and to Clear Channel Communications, which owns the station, asking for a meeting and demanding the John and Ken program be removed from the air.
"For years John and Ken have terrorized Los Angeles' Latino, Asian American and African American communities, creating an atmosphere of hate and intolerance and legitimizing violence and discrimination," the letter said. "There is every reason to believe it is John and Ken's intent to incite these verbal assaults and threats."
"We are not against anyone being against our philosophy," he said. "But when they get to the level of acting like thugs with a microphone, then that's the problem."
"We are not against anyone being against our philosophy"?
What they seem to be saying is, 'as long as the message against our philosophy is not communicated in a logical fashion to large numbers of people."
Phooey!
If Cabrera is so sensitive and opposed to free speech, perhaps he should not make his cell phone number so available to folks like John and Ken?
May God Bless and keep John and Ken!
