Tara Servatius Linked to Terrorist White Supremacist Group : League of the South

Here is a picture of WBT-1110 hate radio personality Tara Servatius attending a League of the South meeting. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, there are 29 hate groups in North Carolina. 4 of these are League of the South groups located in Charlotte, Durham, Wilmington and Burlington.

The League of the South is a White Supremacist Organization that advocates the destruction of the United States of America and the US Constitution.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center “The League of the South is a neo-Confederate group that advocates for a second Southern secession and a society dominated by “European Americans.” The league believes the “godly” nation it wants to form should be run by an “Anglo-Celtic” (read: white) elite that would establish a Christian theocratic state and politically dominate blacks and other minorities.”

What are some of the League of the South’s beliefs according to the SPLC ?

As a general matter, they don’t think the Civil War was fought over slavery — it was really about tariffs, or imposing a newly powerful federal government on the South, or spreading the industrialsystem of the North. They say that the South was “invaded,” even if Southerners fired the first shots at Fort Sumter, S.C.

Most don’t think slavery was all that bad, and some believe that segregation was a perfectly fine policy meant to protect the integrity of both races, black and white alike.

They think that Lincoln was an evil man, bent on destroying the South and willing to use any excuse to do so. They typically see the North as godless, and determined to wreck the Southerner’s natural religiosity. They believe the core population of the South and the bearer of its culture is “Anglo-Celtic,” meaning white. Many support theocracy, oppose interracial marriage and reject the notion of equality.

I have listened to Tara Servatius on a daily basis for some time. The hate she spews towards the United States of America is well known. And barely a day goes by that she isn’t trying to drive a wedge between the white and black community. And if she can make fun of a gay person along the way then her day has been fulfilled. Its all in a days work for WBT-1110’s latest Hate Radio jock.

Tara Sevatius does not represent our community. She represents a very narrow and hateful view of America. Its time for her to find a new occupation.

WBT-1110 and Tara Servatius Spreading More Hate and Lies About the Muslim Community

Today, I listened to Tara go on and on about the Mosque “AT” ground Zero. But as usual she wasn’t telling truth. There is NO Mosque at Ground Zero. And if you read below you will find out the truth about what many sick people have been trying to perpetrate against the American people. I don’t think it serves in the best interest of the community to allow someone with Tara’s extremist views to represent Charlotte. She has an agenda of hate against the poor, black people, gay people, immigrants and Muslims. Tara calls herself a journalist but often blatantly lies to promote her brand of hate. Tara’s so-called Mosque is a community center and it is NOT at the Ground Zero site as she would have you believe. Sadly enough I have made staff at WBT-1110 aware of this and they don’t seem to care. Tara Servatius and WBT-1110 are guilty of inciting hatred against people they don’t even know. Below is the truth about the location of what she calls the Mosque “AT” Ground Zero.

From the Huffington Post:

From 45 Park Place, the former Burlington Coat Factory building that will make way for the Cordoba House, it’s two blocks, around a corner, to get to the WTC site. Park Place doesn’t lie between the construction site and any mass transit stations, so you would need to go out of your way to have it offend you.

If you look up the walking directions you’ll notice that it takes a couple of minutes to walk the distance (approximately a tenth of a mile) between the two spots. Pretty much two minutes exactly when I took the trip with a shaky video camera.

When the new World Trade Center rises, you’ll be able to see it from 45 Park Place, because it’ll be by far the tallest thing around. The planned Cordoba House will be dwarfed. It certainly won’t overlook or overshadow Ground Zero.

Why is the distance between the two sites so important? Simple accuracy, for one. It’s frustrating to see so many commentators blithely disregard an obvious, physical problem with the “mosque at Ground Zero” formulation: it’s not at Ground Zero.

Clyde Haberman of the New York Times further explains the significance:

There’s that “at.” For a two-letter word, it packs quite a wallop. It has been tossed around in a manner both cavalier and disingenuous, with an intention by some to inflame passions. Nobody, regardless of political leanings, would tolerate a mosque at ground zero. “Near” is not the same, as anyone who paid attention back in the fourth grade should know.

I understand the journalist’s impulse to use the “Ground Zero Mosque” shorthand to instantly remind readers why they should care about the story. Headlines leave out qualifiers like “near” all the time for brevity’s sake. But in this case the elision is critical; leaving out the “near” clearly takes sides — against the “mosque” and against accuracy.

In addition, the building planned for 45 Park Place is a cultural center with a prayer room — not a single-purpose house of worship for Muslims, which is probably what we should reserve the word “mosque” for. As Haberman also explains, “That it may even be called a mosque is debatable. It is designed as a multi-use complex with a space set aside for prayer — no minarets, no muezzin calls to prayer blaring onto Park Place.”

The 92nd Street Y, on which the Cordoba House is explicitly modeled, has a whole host of Jewish events take place inside of it, but no one calls it a synagogue. There’s no good reason why Cordoba House should be misleadingly called a “mosque.” I’ve been guilty of using this word too, in conversation and in writing, but it’s inaccurate. Muslims already read the Quran and pray at 45 Park Place, but that does not and will not turn it into a “mosque.”

There’s one more catch for the opponents of the so-called Ground Zero mosque: by the same logical leap you can call the Cordoba Center a “mosque,” you can also call Ground Zero as it already exists a giant, open-air mosque. Muslim prayers are already taking place right on the edge of the construction site, and not for world domination. Families are going there to pray — for the souls of the dozens of innocent Muslim victims who died on September 11.

Tara Servatius Hating Gay People For Kicks and Ratings at WBT-1110

Rush Limbaugh : Vietnam War Draft Dodger

I often refer to Rush Limbaugh as a 3 times divorced, draft dodger, drug addict and conservative leader. I thought would give an explanation on why I beleive Rush Limbaugh is a draft  Dodger. Draft  dodging is avoiding military service during time of war, or as I see it, not doing your duty when you’re country calls. This subject is near and dear to me because my grandfather served in WWII in the US  Army and was  wounded fighting the Japanese. My father also did 4 combat tours in Vietnam in the Marines and barely left with his life at a place called Khe Sahn. I am also a vet and did my time in the  US Army during the first Gulf War.

What was the All-American Patriot Rush Limbaugh doing during the Vietnam War ? From the evidence, it seems as if  he was trying to find a way to get out of duty in Vietnam. Rush sought and  received a  college deferment and when he lost that he got a medical deferment for service from a private doctor. I guess it didn’t hurt either that Rush Limbaugh came from a rich prominent family of  lawyers and  politicians.

58,148 service members died in Vietnam. 17,725 were draftees. I’m sure there were many of these service members that didn’t want to be there. I don’t think they planned on dying either. I hope Rush  Limbaugh and the people that consider him some kind of  Patriot realize what he truly is. Freedom isn’t free and when Rush avoided being drafted, he may have allowed another man to go and make the  sacrifice for freedom in his place. I would consider that cowardly in the least.

Tara Servatius : Hating gay people for kicks and ratings on WBT-1110 radio ?

From Webster’s dictionary:

Bigot : a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred      and   intolerance

Hate : intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger, or sense of injury  : extreme dislike or antipathy

It’s hard to believe that in the year 2010 there are still people and business’s that still make their money spreading hate and fear. I guess my mistake is that I live in Charlotte, NC and some people still  think it is the 1950’s and 1960’s. Tara Servatius is an afternoon talk show host on WBT-1110 AM. It seems that almost every day she goes out of her way to spread hate, fear of lies about one group or  another.

The reason I am writing today is how alarming I find that people like Tara Servatius are actually hired. Tara’s latest bad habit is the disparaging remarks she has been making about gay  people,  namely gay men. The other day she equated that gay men are not  “real” men and ride around on bicycles in tight shorts and that bicycling in general is a gay sport. Remarks like these are purely  stereotypes. Stereotypes have been used to degrade  and separate all types of minority groups throughout history.

I tried to contact Tara Servatius on the air and asked her why she thought it was  appropriate to discriminate against gay people on several occasions. I was also told by a producer that I could e-mail  her and ask her. I sent her several e-mails, very short and too the point. They said ” Tara, why does it matter to you if someone is gay or not ? ” I sent this e-mail sevaral times and have yet to receive a  response. This is coming from a person that has demanded that the governor come on her show and answer questions.

Spreading hate and perpetuating negativity about your fellow human beings is no way to make a living and its now way to make money. I hope in the future WBT-1110 either wises up or is demolished by a competitor with a more ethical plan to bring news to Charlotte. And as far a Tara Servatius goes, all we can do is hope she will change or find a new profession.

Replace “Wrong Way” Joe Wilson with War Veteran and Marine Officer Rob Miller

Poll: Joe Wilson trailing Democratic rival

 

A newly-released poll shows Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C) has seriously endangered his re-election prospects by shouting out “you lie!” during President Obama’s speech to Congress this week.

The poll, commissioned by the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling, shows that Wilson trails his Democratic opponent Rob Miller, 44 to 43 percent. A sizable 62 percent majority of voters said they disapproved of Wilson’s actions, with only 29 percent approving.

The electorate was closely split on whether President Obama was telling the truth when he said his health care plan would not cover illegal immigrants – 46 percent said he was telling the truth, while 42 percent said they thought the president was lying.

“In a matter of seconds Joe Wilson turned himself from a safe incumbent into one of the most vulnerable Republicans in the country for 2010,” PPP pollster Dean Debnam wrote.

It’s a bit premature to be writing Wilson’s political obituary yet. The congressman won the district with 54 percent of the vote last year, a number depressed by the record level of African-American turnout in a presidential election. And it would be useful to see additional polling in the district before drawing any firm conclusions.

But one thing’s for sure, Miller has raised close to $800,000 since Wilson’s outburst and he’ll have plenty of cash to spend against him during crunch time. That fact alone makes it likely the race will be competitive, and guarantees we’ll be hearing more about Joe Wilson in the months to come.

Tara Servatius and WBT Choose Hate and Racism as a Business Model in Charlotte , NC

Talk Radio Station WBT in Charlotte, NC and the newest 3-6pm host Tara Servatius seem to be playing to the White Redneck KKK crowd as usual. Tara Servatius has obviously sold her UNC Chapel Hill Journalism Degree and her soul to get a job on the radio at WBT. She seems to be following in the footsteps of her fired predecessor Jeff Katz. The reason I say this is because Tara increasingly spends her radio time spewing hate about the black community and the majority of Charlotteans that voted for President Barack Obama. She also seems to have picked up the poor habit of being rude and hateful to callers that don’t share her narrow view of the world.
Tara Servatius is married and recently had a baby. Now I guess she thinks it makes her morally superior to anyone that has a child out of wedlock. I heard her recent “Baby Daddy” segment where she thought it was newsworthy to explain to young black women that they were basically scum because they have kids and they aren’t married. Another segment made fun of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and people that support civil rights. This is blatant hate. WBT should be ashamed to have a person on board would consider this journalism. Perhaps a better segment might of been about the kids that don’t have fathers or mothers because they died because George Bush sent them to Iraq to look for weapons of mass destruction that never existed. Maybe she could do a segment about how people that call themselves Christians support torture and the murder of innocent civilians. Maybe she could do a segment about WBT and how it used to be a powerhouse but is now just a sad joke.
I’ve said this many times before and i’ll say it again: HATE doesn’t sell. The Republican Party is dead in the water as long as they depend on hate mongers and racists that call themselves conservatives to represent the conservative movement. It suits me fine. Maybe its time for the conservative movement to go the way of the Whig Party. Forgotten. A new day has dawned.

WBT 1110 Hate Radio Charlotte NC , Racist Radio At Its Finest

It seems that not much has changed over at WBT since they fired Hate Radio Host Jeff Katz. While listening to the 3-6 pm show on Friday the main topics were some type of strange racist conspiracy theory that Barack Obama wasn’t a US Citizen because his step father adopted him and took away his US Citizenship and that he was really a Muslin ( really scary lol ) and therefore he could not be the President. This was based on a case that has been thrown out of every court in the country and now WBT is treating it like something with traction because the final appeal is to the US Supreme Court. WBT is pandering to racist rednecks as usual. Its already known the Supreme Court is not going to do anything that would upset a presidential election especially since Obama has already been vetted in all 50 states. This is simply another dangerous way that WBT causes racial hated in our community.
Another racial topic of the day was the OJ Simpson conviction. WBT used this as an opportunity to bring up all the racial hatred from the original OJ Simpson acquittal. The host spoke for over an hour and talked with glee about how OJ finally got what was coming to him and how he was really guilty all along. And how members of the black community let him off and made a joke out of the justice system. Several callers even called and said that this trail had nothing to do with the other trial but were treated rudely and not given their say. This was clearly another way of being racially divisive and causing racial turmoil in our community. The host was clearly trying to connect with racists and trying to stir up feelings of hate against African Americans and should be ashamed.
Its sad that WBT has to make money trying to sell lies and hate to its community. Kharma is a bitch.

Jeff Katz Fired From WBT ” But It Was Based On Business Reasons ”

Ultra-Right Wing Radio Host Jeff Katz was fired from Charlotte, NC radio station WBT-1110 AM this week. WBT Vice President and General Manager Rick Jackson and Program Director Bill White spent 3 hours on the air during the 3 -6 PM old Jeff Katz time slot Tuesday, December 2, 2008 taking calls from listeners. I would have to say it was admirable to see a couple of managers willing to stand up for a decision by taking on criticism in such a public format. It was pretty funny because Bill White was playing producer and running the board and fumbled around and made some mistakes, which made it fun to listen too. Some callers were not happy with the decision that Jeff was fired and said they would no longer listen to the station. But I would have to say they were in the minority. Most people that called were happy that Jeff was being replaced.
Bottom line is not about pressure from about any group. Its not about the hate that Jeff spewed about Muslims, African Americans, Immigrants, or the Poor. WBT is a big business. The Jeff Katz Show is number 5 in the stations target demographic. Jeff wasn’t what WBT was looking for, and wasn’t bringing in the right numbers because if he did, he would still be on the air. Personally, I don’t care why he is gone, I am just glad he is. Hate has no place in Charlotte.
