Arizona Shock Jock's Dangerous Call for 'Bloodshed' in Polling Places

By Rory O'Connor, RoryOConnor.org. Posted August 21, 2008.


Comments by host Jon Justice could prove to be the spark that turns ominous hate speech into real-life acts of hatred.

Last month, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona's Maricopa County visited nearby Pima County for a book signing ("Joe’s Law: America's Toughest Sheriff Takes on Illegal Immigration, Drugs and Everything Else that Threatens America") at a Tucson Barnes & Noble. The event drew protests against the controversial and reactionary lawman, who has been running immigration sweeps in heavily Hispanic sections of the Phoenix area. Several immigrant and human rights groups, including the Coalición de Derechos Humanos, or The Human Rights Coalition, wanted to send a clear message that "Arpaio’s racist and divisive policies are not welcome in Pima County."

The demonstration, which turned out about 100 protesters, was energetic but peaceful, highlighted by teenagers whacking a piñata effigy of Arpaio - a calm and fairly common protest practice in Southwest. Afterward, local attorney and Derechos Humanos co-chair Isabel Garcia told the press that Arpaio's trip to Tucson "to promote a book filled with lies, fear and ignorant perspectives about immigrants was especially appalling to us." Garcia, who is employed as Pima County's Legal Defender (akin to a public defender), was also videotaped picking up the decapitated piñata head and carrying it around.

Local talk radio host “Jon Justice” was also present at the piñata protest. He took the footage of Garcia holding the head and used it to launch a campaign calling for her head, intent on getting Garcia fired — and even disbarred. Justice plies his talk trade at KQTH 104.1 FM, which calls itself “The Truth” and boasts a daily lineup that features several of "America's 10 worst hate talkers" including Laura Ingraham, Neal Boortz and Michael Savage.

Justice, who reportedly lost a previous on-air slot in Michigan when he pretended to drown a dog on-air, posted the Garcia videotape online and followed it with two YouTube videos (video 1, video 2) that showed him caressing a life-sized doll of Isabel Garcia. Saying, “I want to take her home” while pawing the model, Justice joked about how Garcia’s form was really light because “Chorizo’s not that fattening.”

Blogger D.J. Waletzky supplies more detail:

"As Justice canoodles with his Garcia doll, he voices her responses in a shrill faux-Chicano accent. Justice has his effigy saying things like, ‘No, you did not fondle me at all. As a matter of fact, when you held me, it felt so warm. So nice. Having you hold me in your arms made me feel warm like the inside of a freshly cooked chimichanga. And I thank you for that. And I would really love to go home with you.’ He then proceeded to make out with the Isabel Garcia ‘mascot’ as his cameraman protested that the whole thing is ‘totally creeping me out right now.’"

Although Justice has taken down the videos of him feeling up the Garcia doll, the controversy continues to rage. A recent blog post revealed his dismay at the blowback against him:

“Welcome to the hypocrisy as Isabels Garcias [sic] group DERECHOS HUMANOS has launched a campaign against me! Do I work for the government? Does the taxpayer pay my salary? What what [sic] about my 1st Amendment rights? No one ever said that Isabel and Derechos never had the “right” to protest. It was and is still about a lawyer and public servant acting inappropriate per the AZ State Bar Rules and Pima County Policy.”

Derechos Humanos has responded by calling on sponsors to pull their ads from KQTH — part of the Journal Broadcast Group, which operates three other Tucson radio stations, along with television outlet KGUN. The group invited supporters "to contact these businesses to let them know that you are concerned about their support of hate radio, and encourage them to promote their businesses with media outlets that stand behind the principles of dignity and respect.” But the effect of the boycott call is unclear - in part because Journal executives are holding to a no-comment-to-the-media stance.

"Journal executives are holding to a no-comment-to-the-media stance." And so I would say that the boycott is likely worse than we think. I worked in media sales once and I can tell you that the perception of one advertiser leaving a show will cause a stampede.

They are being tight lipped because they don't want to lose their shirts or jobs.

Keep up the pressure and if there is anything that those of us up north can do to help just let us know.

We are all in this together.

I live here in Tucson, and it's scary to think that Roy Warden or, more likely, one of the extreme right-wing gun-nuts who cheer him will come to the polls with an assault rifle on November 4th.
Fortunately, Tucson has enough gun-toting progressives that these walking time bombs may consider saving it for another day.

Back at the beginning of the 1900's, Emma Goldman, noted anarchist, used to be routinely hounded and arrested and those who provided space for her to talk hounded and threatened with arrest as well for what was considered hate speech then. Funny how it depends on whose goose is being gored for the government to take notice. It's time for the fairness doctrine to come back. Demand it!

Something no one ever seems to mention when warning of the dangers of fascism in America is the similarity between attitudes here toward our dark-skinned immigrants and the build-up of animus against Europeon Jews in Germany prior to WWII.

I grew up in the 30's and remember my parents discussing pre-war conditions in Europe. As the build-up to the war took place, the Jews were being scapegoated for everything in Germany that went wrong. I am reminded of those times when I read articles such as this.

Little was known of the death camps by everyday working Americans until the end of the war, but the deliberate inflaming of German emotions by psychopathic ranting resulted eventually in that unspeakable evil acted out by rather ordinary German citizens that we call the Holocaust.

Please let us be vigilant and do what we can to douse the flames of fascism fanned by ignorant, mouthy American hotheads. I hear immigrant workers scapegoated every day for the worsening economic conditions all over the country plus for the rise in the crime rate. I fear for what our future holds if we cannot succeed in turning this troubled nation around.

Where is law enforcement???

My first concern is, where the heck is law enforcement involved in this mess? Are they protecting the immigrants (legal or illegal, I don't care) and the law-abiding citizens or are they just on an island like "Escape From New York"??
I had more respect and confidence in Arizona Law Enforcement officials but I guess that has gone by the wayside also. Why do they even bother to put on the uniform if they are so ineffective?
What a sad day!!!

Notice my title, and take my word for it, that whackos populate the state legislature and law "enforcement" ranks in Maricopa County. Our Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, as an oppoprtunist, a publicity hound, and a deeply disturbed paranoid nutcase, but right wing majority voters, libertarians, and aged retired retards in AZ just love him. Dozens of radio "host" imbeciles like this maniac, John "Justice", and ol' "nickel bag" Joe and his hoards of overpaid deputies are bouncing around all over the Valley of the Sun ready to shove those brown skinned invaders back across the border. If the law's guns on the streets don't do the job, then guns at the polling places might have to do ? Insane. But there's a problem. A very large number of voters, like me, vote by mail.

as well as requests to law enforcement to enforce the laws against incitement to violence. The violent shooting atacks on a UU church and Democratic office in the last month shows this is a problem which should be taken seriously by law enforcement.

As a young man I was a Republican. The Vietnam debacle changed that. As I watched our "left wing" government lie us into backing the bombing of civilians, the overthrow of an elected government, and the squelching of peaceful protest, I became one of the "left wing liberals" apparantly intent on destroying America. Now some 50 years later, NOTHING HAS CHANGED! Now we have a socalled immigrant wave which will destroy America. Personally, I oppose anyone entering the country illegally. But that doesn't mean I support violance, nor does it mean that I blame all the crime on illegals. I don't approve of the term "undocumented". I support in general Sheriff Joe in the manner he incarcerates CONVICTED criminals. Not when (or if) he holds people without probable cause.
So, it is not a black and white issue. When Mexican immigrants take down an American flag from Federal property, or chant in spanish that America belongs to Mexico, I get angry. This is counter productive. At the same time, I see the "wave" of immigrants as being so tiny in numbers as to not warrant all the attention. It is a terrible reaction to a tragic need for the human desire for a decent life. I feel that the Government of Mexico is remiss in addressing the issues of poverty, and does little to help her citizens achieve a higher living standard. I believe that if the living standards of America and Mexico were reversed, most of those protesting would become illegals themselves.
All in all, I have spent 50 years trying not to Love it or Leave It, but to Love it and improve it. It is obvious to me that have had zero effect. Now,if I were economically capable, I would leave. The America that I once believed was a shining light has proven herself to be nothing more than a candle.
how sad!

Which is more dangerous?

meaning the spewers of Hate on the radio and television (and blogs), have managed to drive a stake into the heart of America. Their sociological wet dream of dividing the American people has been all-too successful.

Every issue becomes a political wedge with which they further divide this country. It's now to the point they are calling on their minions to take guns to the polling places on Election Day -- and USE them. We are all delusional if we think it can't (or won't) happen. Just look at the violent massacre at the Unitarian Church and the murder at the Democratic Headquarters in Arkansas, for starters.

The lunatics are running the assylum.

A time for change

I feel the time for change has come and it will come either by the right-wing hate mongering, blood spilling, foul mouth spewing lunatics, or by left-wing knowledgable, law abiding, peace seeking, family oriented citizens. We, as the latter, must come together and put an end to the days of the shock jocks and fruit cakes that inhabit these radio and television time slots. The only way to remove them is to go after the sponsors, contact their sponsors and tell them as long as they sponsor such 'shows' you will no longer do business with them. Then keep your word, don't do business with those in the business of hate. This is the tactic the right has used to their advantage and it works. It's now time for us as the people with brains, to use those brains to remove the garbage that has filled our sound waves for so long. Once their support falls away because there is no money in sponsoring those types of 'shows', the airwaves will clear. I'm sure that once our airwaves are cleared of the hate, some of the shock-jock zombies will begin to see things clearer. I protested at work to having to listen to these hate mongers and took a lot of flack. But now 6 months in, without those radio morons constant blather, our work place has become more productive, less aggressive, and a much better place to work. Our customers and management have noticed and management hasn't complained once about better profit margins. The big bonus, the biggest loud mouth jerk that enjoyed those 'shows' so much, has settled down and is a remarkably enjoyable person to be around now.

For years this repugnant administration has allowed media ownership of too many outlets (radio, TV, newspaper) to be under the control of ONE corporation. (Think NewsCorp - Murdock, not even an AMERICAN) who continue to spew their hate-filled, right-wing rhetoric on the PUBLIC airwaves. To outright call for violence and killing is so far out of bounds under the law I can't believe how is it is not only tolerated, but seemingly encouraged. Are there really that many idiots in the USA?

I agree that boycotting is one of the most effective ways to semi-silence these idiots - but please more info so we can take action.

Speaking of which, you can - as I have - write the FCC and lodge your complaints. I still keep hoping there are some sane people who despise this ignorance as much as we do. For my money, these shock-jocks are small-minded, scared shitless little men who would pee their pants if confronted directly on their asinine comments.

Les Cogar,

I'm sure you wish you were the great White sheriff of your version of America according to the Ku Klux Klan, because the mythical god in your mind's eye ordained the blue eyed blonde jesus who died on your flaming cross was divinity's gift to the whole world except "dark skinned illegals." True to form your grasp on political science is equal to your vast theological depth.

As a born in America ILLEGAL (according to you and your right wing conservative hate professionals,) and as a U.S. Army Combat Veteran let me help you out with "your sick to the bone" need to threaten those of us who've actually read the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence at least once; let me help you recind your cease and desist order.

YOUR WORDS: "You euro-democracy lovers sicken me to the bone,stop trying to change our form of governance and follow our National Constitution insted of usurping it."

OUR REALITY:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Safety and Happiness.

Along with other damages Hate Speech damages human Safety and Happiness.

Bet you thought it was about you and your group didn't you?

Well now you know.

The constitution is not on your side. In COURT you lose.

You are UN-American therefore you are ILLEGAL.

LOVE Dark Skinned human beings or leave them alone. This feat begins with learning the truth about yourself, forgiving those who misled you and then learning to love your non fear filled self.

is selectively enforced. Think what we have seen. We saw the state chair of the democratic party assasinated in his office. The killer was conveniently shot so we could not learn more. We saw the Unitarian church shot up with 2 dead and 4 wounded. The killer admits being a fan of hate radio. We have seen bombings and killings at abortion clinics. We saw militia member and hate radio fan Timothy McVeigh kill 160 people. Perhaps, he was quickly killed for fear that he might become a political liability.

Now we are expected to believe that these are completely unrelated acts. They were deranged individuals acting alone. Believe it if you wish. I believe hate radio kills.

All of this hate...
Posted by: bobtr900 on Sep 7, 2008 8:31 AM   
Current rating: Not yet rated    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
All of this hate comes from right wingers. If they don't like someone they will fight them and if thst doesn't work they will just shoot/kill you, me, anyone.

Remember the hate that came from Fr. Pavone and his Catholic fundie right wing group who were protesting the Terri Schiavo situation. They talked about killing the judge who followed the law and decidedin favor of Terri's husband, her only truly legal guardian. They wanted to shoot the judge.

I felt that Terri Schiavo should be allowed to live, just as they did. But I did not support shooting/killing the judge. That is the difference, a huge difference. I'm willing to submit to the Rule of Law that we all must live by, or we become far worse than animals, and our society will disintegrate. But people like Scalia want the end of the Rule of Law. They are all haters, they hate what they do not agree with. AND, they will allow and even demand the dismantling of our society.

The only time I would support the dismantling of our society is if they took over and totally turned us into a killer for profits society, which we are on our way to becoming. Were we to become what the Bushies want us to become, namely, a Big Business Ideology or a Big Religion Ideology society then I would be for changing, dismantling or ending the rule of those less than human dregs.

The Big Religion people want our society to be altered radically or dismantled. The evangelical fundies and the Pope and his Catholic(my religion) fundies(Pat Buchanan, Russert(gone but not forgotten), O'Reilly, Hannity, Murdoch, Cavuto, Noonan et al. are the ones who are at the very core of the haters and right wing killers.

Their religion is on their side and and that is all they need to push their hate agenda, and they will continue to do so until they either get their way or our society becomes ever more craven for profits and lustful of ever more Republican political power. When we turn into a Fascist-Nazi country then they will be totally satisfied.

And if anyone thought this was coming to an end with the end of the Bush administration, forget it, McCain and Palin are coming next.

You can't have peace or a discussion if your unwilling to acknowledge that there is problem. Just hating whitey isn't the answer.
