Barbara Simpson, KSFO

Lecture Notes: 11-14-04

Is this the same Barbara Simpson?

She who laughed at a suicide just last week? “Idiot!” Remember she shouted, “Idiot,” when the computer researcher from Georgia drove to New York and killed himself at the World Trade Center, or rather where the WTC used to be.

“With a shotgun?” she exclaimed and laughed, “A shotgun?” She asked in that arch way of hers, false in her satire, phony in her impudence. “How did he get a shotgun into New York?” she laughed again.

She continued on in this way for a while. She had advise, “If you are going to kill yourself at least do it for something important . . .” But then she soon returned to her preferred ridicule, “Idiot!” and again “. . . with a shotgun?”

Callers not knowing the cause for her fixation on this topic, suicide, called in to the show to complain. One caller started to question her attitude towards suicides by suggesting hypothetically he might consider suicide, and she interrupted him with more satire. The caller still not understanding that she was really talking about something else, talking to someone else, misunderstood her. He thought her ridicule was suggesting that he should, “take some out with me first?” he asked.

However, she no sooner had awkwardly backed out of that confusing discussion than another caller called to complain. The young woman could not understand why Barbara Simpson, normally so thoughtful, was so contemptuous of suicides? How heartless. Again this caller also failed to understand that she had something else on her mind. Barbara defended herself by saying “Well, I am being tough, . . . I believe in tough love.”

Tough love? But Mr. Andrew Veal was well beyond love, tough or otherwise. What could Barbara be talking about?

How about this dears? Barbara Simpson has a guilty conscience?

Guilty? Guilty about what?

Because unlike Bernie Ward she is unable to except the fact that she is a phony hypocrite. Unlike Gene Burns she can not accept the fact that she is idly standing by while her colleagues destroy a man’s life and drive him to his death.

Barbara Simpson still wants to think of herself as a good person. She talks about morality a lot on her show. She tells her listeners to act morally, to be righteous, ---- what? you are thinking: ‘Well who doesn’t?’

Don Imus doesn’t. Michael Weiner doesn’t. Ron Owens has never called on his listeners to be righteous. (Owens gave out the website that had the photos of Dr. Schlesinger. He defended the radio personality that posted the photos. “He thought he had a relationship with her and she starts talking that way she does . . . about marriage, you know, all that stuff. Think how he felt? He probably felt rejected you know.”) No, not every radio show personality claims to be moral. These three for example enjoy this website. They take pride in reading about their villainy. And they are glad that you know what they have done to me. What is the fun of destroying a man’s life if no one knows?

So today Barbara Simpson is discussing Iris Chang’s suicide. No ‘Idiot!’ No laughter. She even questions if it was a suicide. Maybe those Japanese killed her, Barbara suggests. (“Their was a suicide note but still . . .”)

Barbara knows about the burglary at the Colonial Motel. But she is not talking.

Barbara know this, in a few weeks I am going to die; and know this, before I die I am going to curse you. I will curse Barbara Simpson. You could have lived up to your professed values, you could have given evidence. Barbara, I do not want to die, but you and your colleagues have succeeded. It has taken them years, but now they have surrounded me. Cut me off. I am the sole survivor. Unlike Mr. Bob Kerry I have taken no oath to continue fighting. The battle is lost.

No Barbara, I do not want to die. Unlike Iris I am not depressed. I am ruined.

I have been ruined not only by those obviously evil men, Michael Weiner, Don Imus, Ron Owens, Michael Krasney, not just by them alone, the former Mrs. Dr. Dean Edell, (Rose Guilbault), the Red Comedian who used his influence with the Counselor, and also by all their helpers, down to the trolls like the evil Scott Bobro, Dean Sotos, (the one who said on 9-11, “Oh, yes I heard about that, was it an accident?”), Greg Irwin, (Shotgun Tom Kelly’s brother), Frank Blaha at GAB Robins, the staff at KGO-ABC, KQED-PBS, all of them, like Barbara Simpson, who have known what has been done, have known but have refused to do the right thing.
