Supporters and Their Response To Criticism
The former cabinet of Jarosław Kaczyński openly supported Radio Maryja. In December 2006, Kaczyński joined the 15th anniversary celebrations of Radio Maryja and praised the station as a source of "comfort and hope", warning that "an attack on Radio Maryja is an attack against freedom."
Enthusiasts of the station claim that Radio Maryja is a target of the media which have waged a "smear campaign". A Support Team of Radio Maryja has been formed "in the service of God, the Church, Homeland and the Polish Nation".

Famous quotes containing the words supporters, response and/or criticism:
“No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition. It reduces their supporters to that tractable number which can be managed by the joint influences of fruition and hope. It offers vengeance to the discontented, and distinction to the ambitious; and employs the energies of aspiring spirits, who otherwise may prove traitors in a division or assassins in a debate.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“Love is the victim’s response to the rapist.”
—Ti-Grace Atkinson (b. 1938?)
“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
