Window into Association with Palestine Media Watch urges you to support to answer the call 4 action below.
Asking for a simple apology, given the gravity of the comments, is perhaps the best indication just how much abuse against Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims, has become routine. What we have here is a clear case of outright profanity -- with the profanity spewed here far more damaging than any four-letter word.
Indeed, here is the FCC's definition of "profanity":
The FCC has defined profanity as including language that "denote[s] certain of those personally reviling epithets naturally tending to provoke violent resentment or denoting language so grossly offensive to members of the public who actually hear it as to amount to a nuisance."
"Like indecency, profane speech is prohibited on broadcast radio and television between the hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m."

Please take the time to file a complaint directly to the FCC in your capacity as a concerned citizen.
You can email your complaint to: fccinfo@fcc.gov -- please visit this page for more information on what to include in your complaint: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/obscene.html
Also, please issue a call for FIRING the person who made those comments and fining MSNBC for allowing those comments to be aired should be sounded loud and clear.
If the FCC can punish CBS for allowing a split second flash of a person's private parts, it should have no problem punishing a network that allowed the airing of someone calling for the killling of human beings.
