Art Bell scandal!!!

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO STOP IT
Over the last three years someone has been posting a
malicious letter about Filipino's with the subject:
"Filipinos Make Me Puke". In an attempt to smear
Art Bell, someone took this Hate Message from a web
site (now defunct), anonymously posted it to the
Internet and signed Art Bell's name and address
to it. Every few months it gets posted again and again
on newsgroups and e-mail lists, with additional
hateful language to incite Filipino Internet users to
respond to Art Bell.
ART BELL DID NOT WRITE THIS EMAIL
Art Bell is as much a victim of this hoax as you are.
In fact, he is married to a Filipina and has the highest
regard for the Philippine people. He is as offended by
the contents of this email as you are. He has posted
these facts on his web site and has responded to every
single email from any of you with the truth and the
facts. Still, the vicious anti Filipino email keeps
circulating and angry Filipinos keep emailing Art!
ART BELL DID NOT WRITE THE HATEFUL
ANTI FILIPINO EMAIL
Most recently, on July 1, 2001 the email attributed to
Art Bell surfaced in a show business column in the
Philippine Daily Inquirer, without the writer
bothering to check the validity of the story. Two days
later, July 3, the same column was taken up by a
retraction and an apology, which the paper will run
every day of the week, through July 8th. Please go to
http://www.artbell.com/filipino.html to see this
retraction, as well as the statement from Premiere
Radio Networks, the company that syndicates Art
Bell's radio program, Coast to Coast, and Art's statement
about the most recent developments in this
outrageous fraud.
The Philippine Daily Inquirer has now become a
victim of this same hoax. They are doing the right
thing by printing a retraction. Now, we need you
to do the RIGHT THING.
Set the record straight. PLEASE FORWARD THIS
MESSAGE to all your friends.
Post this far and wide in your Filipino communities.
Stop spreading Filipino hate. The bogus email is like
a virus, causing mayhem and havoc in your community
and in the life of ART BELL, WHO IS INNOCENT. We need
your help to fight the spread of this HOAX. Please spread
this warning wherever you see any version of the hate
letter about Filipinos with Art Bell's name attached.
Delete the hateful email and FORWARD THIS EMAIL
AS YOUR RESPONSE. Direct your friends to
http://www.artbell.com/filipino.html for the facts.
You are doing your fellow Filipinos a disservice by not
warning them; by allowing them to be DUPED and
ABUSED by the hateful language and the fraud that is
being perpetrated on Art Bell.
THANK YOU FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING.
