Ducking Responsibility, Indeed!
chiefthracian
complaints over the lackluster liberal airwaves (when compared to
right-wing hate-talk). So I admonished this group for their whining,
when a very talented activist right in their midst, goes unrecognized.
Read and enjoy (or weep):

I listened to three days' worth of Air America Radio this week, and I
have to say that one thing is missing from lefty talk radio that makes
the right-wing stuff work: bile.

This is why our community needs SCREAMERS like me: I'm funny, well
informed, dedicated to queer liberation...excellent
writer/interviewer/comedian. My stories, my spiels, would be HILARIOUS
and CAPTIVATING and EMPOWERING and INSPIRING over the airwaves!
I've been hollering for years, to get support from other activists and
concerned folks, to pave my way towards media access. I ALMOST got my
own radio talk show last year, which would've been called "Shock Jock
Strap". Read here, of my plan, and what I'd do on such a show:

This is the e-mail exchange I had with a representative of SFLR (San
Francisco Liberation Radio). There, not only will you learn of my
blueprint for this very queer show, but how I was sabotaged by a
hate-letter sent by another Queernet list member, and other SFLR
representatives who are too SPINELESS to have other than
milquetoasty-type queers on the airwaves.
I've done my UTMOST over these years, to convince influentials in the
queer community, to give me my public stage...with PROOF of my talents
for all the world to see, on my website. I can only continue plugging
away...as I am, now appearing for several minutes twice a month on Ch.
29, and creating a PayPal account on my website, to receive monies to
support my freelance activism, which you may view at:

I don't know what's wrong with the gay community, in constantly
suppressing good folks like me, whose TALENT can go a long way towards
our liberation...if only given the OPPORTUNITY to do so. And in so
doing, aggressively creative activists like myself, will pull up a lot
MORE talent from other unsung heroes, to amaze and inspire the world.
So quit your whining, Roger, and others. You GOT the talent and
expertise you need, to put on a great show, and win our rights
already. You got me. You got the contacts and associates that I lack.
I got the talent, the wit and the spit.
So instead of complaining about the lackluster soldiers we now have,
EMPOWER those that are far BRAVER and more INSPIRED. And I've given
you more than AMPLE EVIDENCE of my abilities, over the years. There is
no longer any rational excuse to NOT empower me, and those like
me...who've been banging on the Door of Opportunity till the cows come
home. (And they did, but I'm still banging away!)
"Ducking Responsibility" indeed!
