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)
“From time to time I listen to what you are saying, just in case a response is needed.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
