Ohioans Alert - WLW Slanders Barack

Sun Feb 17, 2008 at 01:46:09 PM PDT

Please be patient with me, as this is my first diary.  

Coming home at 4:15 today (Sunday). I heard an unbelievable statement on the radio- WLW-Cincinnati - a Clear Channel station.   WLW is by far the largest radio station in the Cincinnati, Ohio area, with a powerful signal that broadcasts to the center of the state (Columbus) and also most of northern Kentucky.

A radio host, named Eric Deeters, whom I have never heard before, just stated that Barack Obama is a Muslim and did not swear allegiance to  America on the Bible, but instead used the Koran.  I know this is the subject of a 'stealth' e-mail campaign, but I could not believe that a radio station, with hundreds of thousands of listeners, would make such an untrue statement.  Is there any recourse?

What did Ohio Governor Taft know and when did he know it?

In light of all the other news today, this important news may have been missed.  Today's Columbus Dispatch had a front page story about our lovely Governor.  The headline "Taft forbids testimony in scandals lawsuit"

Taft has refused to testify under oath and has forbidden 5 of his current and former staff members to give depositions or release memos between his office and the Bureau of Worker's Compensation from 1998 - 2005.  He is claiming executive privilege.

Have we heard that line before?

The best line in the front page story "What did Governor Taft know and when did he know it?"

Be kind...my first diary.
