Who the F is this dork Curtis Ellis?
This is the worst pathetic show in existence. Why is IE wasting valuable air time on this guy?

This Madame No was the stupidest most insulting asian slur I have heard.

1. Bio from the ieamericaradio website

His work has appeared on 60 Minutes, CNN, MSNBC, National Public Radio and the Voice of America. He has written for magazines and newspapers including the New York Times, Time, The Financial Times, Premiere, Wired, and Conde Nast Traveler.

3. Have you heard this guy ranting?
Edited on Fri Oct-24-03 03:05 PM by Must_B_Free
he can't get anyone to call him, so he just rants.

He had some Asian sounding lady on to attack foreign workers on a base crude level. We are supposed to laugh at her accent and the silly simple things she says... I got news for you - these people getting our jobs just want to improve their life. Why shouldn't they take a job - are they supposed to turn down income for fear that it may be "taking a job away from some American worker"?

Attack the corporate policy, but don't attack people just trying to better their lives. And don't attack them for being asian or having an accent or different culture.

I'll be surprised if IE lets this dumb dork on the air again. He does a disservice to everyone. He already got calls to the manager about the racial slur he just presented, then goes whining that noone wanted to be on the air. This stupid dickhead is finished, I hope, he's a waste of airtime.

4. And he just told Republicans how they can get him off the air
and get all liberal/progressive talk shows taken off the air. How idiotic is that?
