I hear you, but don't you thinkg it's these very "ineffectual mental
midgets" that are running us off the road, or screaming to get OFF the road
as they fly by in their cars? They don't need encouragement.
And the nice thing about Morons - when they get in trouble, things change.
So I think it's good to blitz the radio station. Let them move on to the
next easy and undeserving target.

The fact is that these DJ's are recognized as morons, and usually the people
who listen are morons as well (apologies to whomever did listen enough to
report the event, I assume you were scanning for some music). There is
little hope of changing their tiny retarded minds, and I doubt that many
people pay much attention to them. While I like to fight back, there is
little point in battling there ineffectual mental midgets, as it is the
attention on which they thrive. This little OBRA e-mail discourse over the
afternoon probably represents more attention to their show than they have
ever had, and I would not want them to think that anyone actually sensible
paid attention to their show other than the usual cadre of idiots that call
in.

While I'll agree the comments were inappropriate (from what I've heard 2nd
hand). I'm not sure how a boycott to KATU is a solution. My wife is a
reporter at KATU and has reported on a number of bike issues which have been
fair and good for the community.

Dear customers of Entercom:
I am sorry to say that due to the crass and irresponsible comment of hosts
on "the Buzz" I will be urging everyone I know to boycott Safeway and KATU.
Hosts engaged in an attack on bicyclists this morning. Bicyclists face
insensitive motorist every day in Portland and knuckle heads opining that
bicycles have no place on the roads do not help. This is not about being PC
or being "not funny". This is about contributing to ignorance and sentiment
that e! ndangers peoples lives.
Portland was just voted the most bicycle friendly city in America. Metro is
spending two million on a campaign to reduce traffic congestion. Obesity is
a growing problem in Oregon but bicycle ridership is up 300% in the past 5
years. And here among all this good news some bad public citizens spouting
their hateful remarks.
Please remind Entercom that they have a responsibility that goes with the
use of public airways. An on the Air apology and some equal time spend on
encouraging pubic awareness about cycling by Entercom and the hosts of the
Buzz would go a long way to repairing the damage.
Sincerely- Jake Bigham, Portland
