Instead of just trashing the staff of our radio station and the Concerned Listener group why don't you allow them to debate you ? Are you afraid that your Trot and Anarchist followers might desert you ?

RP: Over the past 4-5 years I have challenged Larry Bensky, Brian Edwards-Tiekert, Sarv Randhawa, Sherry Gendelman, Mark Hernandez, Conn and Matthew Hallinan, Sasha Lilley, Lemlem Rijio, Any "Concerned Listener" representative, any KPFAForward representative ( the front name before CL) any current representative of the "dismantler"/CL management group that has abandoned the Pacifica Mission for selfish power desires to debate in public or on the air. NONE of them have ever agreed to debate. They know that they don't want their dirty laundry out in the public. That is why they always fight against transparency.

RP: Look in the Indybay archives under my name and you will see the challenges made here. They have also been made on the air and in person at public meetings. You arrange the debate with any or all of them and I will come. They won't because they know that truth is not on their side. So put up or shut up.
