From America, With Hate Powerful, U.S.-based shortwave radio stations are broadcasting extremist propaganda around the world By James Latham EL RODEO, Costa Rica -- Emanating from half a dozen shortwave radio stations scattered around the United States, the angry shouts and slurs of radical Americans are being beamed around the world — to Japanese fishermen, Australian businessmen and untold millions of other people. As people around the globe turn the knobs on their shortwave radios, hate speech — everything from the homophobic savagery of a 17-year-old Georgia boy to the calls for revolution of a neo-Nazi West Virginian — is more and more difficult to avoid. And the vast majority of these broadcasts are coming from America. Turn the tuning knob once or twice. Coming in clearly from WWCR in Nashville, Tenn., anti-Semitic Colorado preacher Pete Peters is shouting. "The Bible," Peters thunders, "says it's okay to kill homosexuals." Give the knob another twist, and there is neo-Nazi William Pierce, leader of the National Alliance, describing Jews as a plague from his West Virginia redoubt. Or tune in to WBCQ, the Maine station that began broadcasting shortwave a few years ago under the motto, "Peace, Love and Understanding." Tonight, Hal Turner is on. "Some of these lazy-ass Latinos have got a lot of nerve," Turner hisses in a broadcast with a potential audience in the millions. "It's bad enough that a whole bunch of them are slithering across the border with wet backs and then bringing their savage, Third World ways to the streets of civilized America. But then once some of them get acclimated and assimilated, then they turn around and start saying that we should adapt to their view. "Well, I'm sorry... . America thrives because we rejected the Third World savagery, the Third World muck from which these people slithered, and I see no reason why we should adopt their policy." [...] splcenter.org
