I respect your right to express them even though I do not agree with some of them. My decision not to appear on your program is not based on a difference of opinion. It is based on evidence of various statements you have made advocating violent behavior toward specific individuals. That is where I must draw the line. I hope that you know where to draw the line between strong opinions and advocacy of violent or prejudicial behavior.
Words do have meaning, even when they are used in jest.
My participation on this show, scheduled for Friday of this week, has divided the people throughout the Kalispell area. I ve even heard from people from around the country. I believe that my appearance on the show can only further divide our people and would serve no meaningful purpose. Therefore, I will not appear on the show.
