			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tossing out old papers in preparation for an upcoming office move, I came across what was probably the best hate letter I've ever received.  It came in response to FAIR's work on talkshow host Bob Grant--who, after FAIR had documented his <a title="Extra!: 50,000 Watts of Hate" href="http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1272" target="_self">bigoted, violent rants</a> and <a title="Extra! Update: Dial H for Hate" href="http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1304" target="_self">promotion of white supremacy</a>, had been fired by Disney's ABC, and prompty hired by rival station WOR. The unsigned fax contained a page of doggerel:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hey, "FAIR,"</p>
<p>Bob's still here.</p>
<p>Your little plan didn't work so well, so all of you can go to Hell.</p>
<p>Bob Grant lives, he talks, he rules,</p>
<p>And you look like a pack of mules. Or ghouls?</p>
<p>This is the Land of Liberty &amp; it's what I take free speech to be.</p>
<p>When you monitor one, you monitor all, you have some gall,</p>
<p>To single out one to take the fall.</p>
<p>Bob's real name is Bob Gigante,</p>
<p>Don't try to be a vigilante.</p>
<p>It won't work, don't be a jerk,</p>
<p>As you lurk, to find a quirk, in everything he says.</p>
<p>Black &amp; white is not the issue,</p>
<p>A pleasant day I do not wish you.</p>
<p>BOB GRANT RULES THE AIRWAVES!</p></blockquote>
<p>I wrote "FAIR's Bob Grant Success" (Extra! Update, <a title="Extra! Update: FAIR's Bob Grant Success" href="http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1343" target="_self">6/96</a>) pretty much in response to that poem. But while I disagreed with the critique of our work, I did appreciate the style with which it was expressed. And I do try not to be a vigilante.</p>
