Subject: Walton and Johnson urging motorists to hit cyclists
If you ride, you must be aware of what two of our local radio personalities are
propagating over the airwaves. BikeHouston and the City of Houston Bikeway
Program are confirming the conversation broadcast and are calling Clear Channel.
Please take a minute read the following and to contact Clear Channel
Communications to voice your disgust and consider boycotting their advertisers.
Note: GHORBA has donated over $1,200 to the Clear Channel Santa Letters program
the last two Christmas seasons. Some respect to cyclists is the least they can
do.
Here is the actual excerpt from a recent broadcast. Prepare to be outraged.
Walton: "I hate those guys in their gay little bike shorts and stupid looking
pointy helmets. They're always in my way. I'm telling ya, I'm gonna tap one of
you guys. You keep getting in my way with your stipid looking pointy helmets...
and I drive big car. I'm gonna have to give one of em' a little tap. Send him to
the ditch"
Mr. Kenneth, the "gay" character: "Oh and I'll come visit you in jail. Ohh!"
Billy Ed the redneck character (the same person as the gay one): "Just
knock em' off the road."
Walton: "Really, these guys don't have the right of way. You don't have the
right of way. Just keep off the road for the real forms of transportation,
automobiles, and we'll all be fine. Keep out of my way and I won't have to run
you over"
This was followed up with several Texas and LA rednecks calling up
to confirm their hatred for cyclists and their desire to see cyclists hurt,
run over, humiliated and punished by rogue law enforcement.
