On Status of Anti-Sheehan Protest

Early Wednesday morning, word spread, initially from a comment at RawStory.com, that some stations in Crawford might be sponsoring an anti-Sheehan barbecue, sponsored by KWTX 1230 AM (Fox News Radio, Waco, TX, at 1-254-776-3900, not associated with the TV station of the same name), KLFX 107.3 "The Fox Rocks " (1-254-699-5000) , 102.5 FM, and one more that was forgotten at the time of writing. The barbecue was to take place in the lot NEXT TO the Crawford Bank, and a host named "JACK HAMMER", who is a sexist Republican pig, would be there. They stated they would offer free burgers and Coca-Cola. Ed Schultz' staff contacted the Crawford bank, and they wanted to let everyone know that they were never involved whatsoever in this event, and that they were very upset at the radio station's using the name of their institution in their advertisements for this anti-American barbecue. The bank was NOT sponsoring it and is not involved in any of the nastiness by the station(s). Schultz also had a reporter call in who stated that the Ft. Hood military were being ENCOURAGED to show up. Evan Armstrong, general manager, later tried to make it a "Pro-Bush, Pro-Troops" rally, but the fact is, people clearly heard (including Thom Hartmann's show engineer, among others) that it was an anti-Sheehan rally. If you called as a normal Bush supporter rather than an enraged DailyKos/Democratic Underground reader, you were given that information.
Fortunately, plenty of DailyKos and DemocraticUnderground readers gave the stations a piece of their mind, and Evan Armstrong, who is general manager of a rock station and a. Fox News Radio station, states that it is cancelled. It is not clear if he can be trusted. Here's their website: http://www.newstalk1230.com/main.html . You might be fascinated by their GOP Babes of the Week.
Here are two emails from Evan:

In no way are making a PR event out of Cindy Sheehan's loss. This is a pro troops rally and we have had Cindy Sheehan on KWTX-AM last Monday to voice her cause. Thanks for your response. We welcome everyones opinion on this matter.

Armstrong, Evan" <[email protected] > wrote: Please be advised that due to lack of local interest, the pro-troop rally tentatively scheduled by KWTX-AM, KLFX-FM for this coming Saturday will not be taking place. Please tune into KWTX-AM, KLFX-FM on Monday for comprehensive news coverage and commentary on developments related to the Iraq war protest organized by Mrs. Cindy Sheehan, scheduled to be held in Crawford this Saturday.

Keep your eyes open. I wouldn't be surprised if they just moved the date/location. These are sick, sick people. KWTX is a Fox News Radio station. Evan is a right-winger.
