Glenn Miller for US Senate In Today"s Kansas City Star Newspaper

[Rounder]

More free advertisement for my campaign. Reporter Dave Helling phoned last Friday while I was out of town. I was gonna phone him at 9 this morning, but another KC Star reporter, Mike Hendrick, phoned me at 8:45 saying Helling's article had already been published, and that he wanted to do an interview, himself. So he did. His article will appear in Wednesday's edition.

A fairly unbiased and objective, comparatively speaking, article follows:





Campaign ad places hateful message on the air

By DAVE HELLING

The Kansas City Star


The program director of KMBZ radio in Kansas City says the station has no choice but to air commercials with racially biased and anti-Semitic claims from a write-in candidate for the U.S. Senate from Missouri.

The ads — which began on the station last week — are from Glenn Miller, a Springfield man who once ran the White Patriot Party. He’s been described by the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala., as a white supremacist and former paramilitary organizer.

One of Miller’s ads, aired during the Darla Jaye talk show program in the evening, urges whites to “take their country back” and disparages Jews and nonwhites.

The Missouri secretary of state’s office said Miller has filed required papers to qualify as a write-in candidate in the 2010 Senate race.

Under Federal Communications Commission rules and federal law, a “legally qualified candidate” must be given reasonable, uncensored access to broadcast airtime if he or she can pay the cost.

“The company is required by federal law to run these spots and to do so without any edits,” said KMBZ program director Neil Larrimore. “Our hands are tied.”

Larrimore said Miller has purchased airtime on at least one other local station.

Miller did not return phone calls seeking comment.

The law center and the Jewish Community Relations Bureau in Kansas City declined to comment on the ads because, as nonprofit organizations, they are prohibited from opposing or endorsing candidates.

But Leonard Zeskind has written about Miller and others in his book “Blood and Politics: The History of the White Nationalist Movement From the Margins to the Mainstream.”

“I think people have to stand up and say it’s wrong,” Zeskind said.
While Miller has filed required paperwork with the Missouri secretary of state, he has not filed with the Federal Election Commission and won’t have to unless he raises or spends $5,000 or more.

At that point, an FEC spokesman said, Miller must file a statement of candidacy and regular campaign finance disclosures. If he doesn’t, the spokesman said, he could face sanctions and penalties, although the FEC can’t force his ads off the air.

The ads indicate that they are paid for by the “Committee to Elect Write-In Candidate Glenn Miller to the U.S. Senate.” There is no record of such a committee with the FEC, a spokeswoman said, and a search of the Missouri Ethics Commission’s Web site shows no such committee.
The station is running a disclaimer before the Miller ads, which is allowed under FCC rules, although the disclaimer cannot criticize or support the commercials.

And the station is not allowed to censor the message, legal experts said.

“We’ve dealt with situations where white supremacists have qualified for a place on the ballot in a congressional race and wanted to run racist ads — and stations have had to allow it,” wrote David Oxenford on the Web site of a law firm specializing in broadcasting. “While this may seem like a bad outcome, it does make sure that stations cannot block unpopular viewpoints from being aired so that all points of view can be expressed by political candidates.

“Thus, while individual cases may result in ugly situations, the overall purpose of encouraging diverse political speech is achieved by the rules,” Oxenford wrote.

Oh the injustice! They'd love to get a word in on everything. God forbid you should want to say whatever you want.

Glenn you can always use that article as proof to any radio station that doubts that you are in fact a legitimate candidate.

And Mike Hendricks is a man of his word. His article has now been posted by the Kansas City Star, and it wasn't quite as unbiased and objective as Helling.

A bigot’s lost cause fouls the airwaves

MIKE HENDRICKS COMMENTARY

This week I had the distinct displeasure of speaking with Glenn Miller, the race-baiting, anti-Semitic bigot running a write-in campaign to replace U.S. Sen. Kit Bond. And while we agreed on almost nothing, Miller was correct about one thing: Radio stations are doing him a favor by running disclaimers before and after his hate-filled commercials.

“Everybody’s ears perk up,” a gloating Miller said over the phone from his home near Springfield.

“They know something controversial is about to come on the air, and by the time my voice comes on, everyone is at full attention.”

Sad but true, said two radio execs I spoke with Tuesday.

But then you can’t blame stations for disassociating themselves from the vile garbage they’re required to air. Federal laws forbid them from denying any “legally qualified candidate” access to the public airwaves.

For the stations, it’s self-preservation. Would you as a listener stick with any station you thought willingly sold ad time to hatemongers like Miller, who, by the way, founded the Ku Klux Klan-affiliated White Patriot Party back in the 1980s and later spent three years in federal prison for using the mail to advocate war on blacks, Jews and the federal government?

So expect to hear more radio disclaimers in the days ahead as Miller’s media buy continues on 10 to 12 Missouri stations.

Where’s he getting the money to do that? Well, that’s another aspect of election law working to Miller’s advantage. Stations must give political candidates the deepest discounts on ad rates. Miller wouldn’t tell me how much he’s spending. But the total cost of his weeklong ad buy at two stations based in Monett, Mo., is a measly $195, says Dewayne Gandy, president of Eagle and Falcon broadcasting companies.

“We’re reaching an awful lot of people with our campaign,” Miller said.

But to what end?

Although his philosophy is stupid, Miller isn’t. He’s smart enough to know he has no chance at the polls in November.

His previous run, a 2006 congressional campaign for the seat now held by Rep. Roy Blunt, garnered just 23 votes out of 241,000 cast.

Neither would you think he’d win over many new converts to the white power movement, of which he’s been a part for 40 years.

Then again, the fact that there’s a black man in the White House, as well as a woman serving as speaker of the House, is troublesome to some on the fringes of society.

Let’s say Miller’s ads win over a few newcomers to the cause and re-energize others. And let’s say some of them send him checks.

Money — could that be it?

“I’ve been accused of that before,” Miller said.

I’ll bet he has.

Note how Hendricks insinuates at the very end that you might be doing it only for the money. If he read VNN Forum, he would know that you have already accounted for all donations received and posted it in the other thread.

Yes, and I told him, in lengthy detail, how I post all monies received and spent, on this public forum, to insure all money is accounted for.

He made a clear, unmistakable allegation that I'm running for US Senate in order to make money for myself. He has damaged my campaign, thereby jeopardizing my election in November. A lawsuit against the Kansas City Star newspaper is definitely in order.

LOLz, Glenn, the Rush Limbaugh guest host was just talking about your advert, he was all "I'm appalled ... this is absolutely cartoonish ... hate speech ... we aren't like this ... I won't play it here ... etc"

Thanks for the heads-up, Krystian. These neo-con whores, like Limbaugh, Beck, and Hannity are accomplices of the jews, and accessories in the jewish enslavement and genocide of the White race.

It looks like you're being taken real seriously now, Rounder. The Missouri Broadcasters Association have written state attorney general Chris Koster asking him to determine if you're is a “legally qualified” Senate candidate.

Broadcasters ask for AG opinion on Miller

The Missouri Broadcasters Association has written state attorney general Chris Koster asking him to determine if white supremacist Glenn Miller is a “legally qualified” Senate candidate. Miller, of Springfield, has filed as a write-in candidate for the office. He’s bought time on several stations to air ads that demean Jews and non-whites, sometimes using racist language.

Some broadcasters have said they’re airing the commercials only because they’re required to under federal law. A station must allow federal candidates “reasonable access” to their facilities, and it must air the messages of all legal candidates without changes. Other stations, however, want Koster to determine if Miller really is legally qualified before they run the commercials.

A Koster spokesman said Wednesday that the attorney general had received the letter but had not reached a decision.

In its letter, the MBA — which represents 340 radio and TV stations in the state — asks Koster to determine if Miller meets residency and other requirements of the law, and if he’s properly using his name, Frazier Glenn Miller.

The stations also want to know when the general election campaign officially begins. Under federal law, candidates may not have full access to commercial time until the election is deemed to have started.

“There’s some uncertainty at this point as to whether Mr. Miller is qualified and whether he has a right to be on (the air) at this stage,” said Mark Sableman, a St. Louis lawyer who wrote the letter on behalf of broadcasters.

Some stations, Sableman said, have declined to air the commercials until Koster issues an opinion. [Ed. Note: I could find no evidence confirming that Sableman is a Jew.]

Some stations also argue that Miller isn’t a “bona fide” write-in candidate, Sableman said, because he hasn’t demonstrated substantial campaign activities such as opening an office, giving speeches, and passing out campaign literature. Write-in candidates must be “bona fide” under federal law to be considered legally qualified.

Meanwhile, two local stations that are airing the commercials — KMBZ and WDAF-FM, both owned by Entercom Kansas City — said Wednesday they’ll give away all of the revenue they have or will receive from Miller. Half of the money, the stations said, will go to the Olathe chapter of the NAACP, and the other half will go to a local Jewish charity.

Right. He's telling the sheep you're a crook - during your election campaign. Sue the cocksucker and his rag.

[OTPTT]

What money? A few hundred dollars from a handful of people? That reporter is out of his mind. I think Rounder gets more than he's collected for his campaign from his military pension each month.

The problem with suing a newspaper is that they have big bucks and at least one law firm. They can out spend most people as far as legal fees are concerned. Good luck finding a lawyer to take this case assuming there's an actionable tort to support a civil complaint.
