Broadcaster who called Condi a coon will be on Countdown

[CatWoman]

:D

[skooooo]

1. I was told it was just a flub up, like the word came out wrong..

...and that he immediately recognized and apologized for it.

[CatWoman]

2. Keith just played the clip

and it sounded that way to me too.

We shall see.

Hey, I surely don't have a problem with him calling her that }(

[bbinacan]

5. Do you have a link to the clip?

Thanks in advance.

17. If a Republican did it, we'd call him a piece of shit and we'd be right.

This is classic Freudian slippery. If he apologized, good. He gets half forgiven now and gets the other half when he makes a public show of being against racism. Racist slurs are wrong whether they attack a Republican or a Democrat. I have a big problem with it and any real liberal should too.

(on edit)
A look at the transcript seems to point toward it being an honest mistake, but I'm still suspicious of the guy. What kind of person could ever slip the word "coon" into a casual conversation. He was in the midst of making a big deal about Rice being black. That's still bullshit thinking. Rice's race less than secondary compared to her being a fuck up incompetant apologist for a dishonest oil-grab disguised as war. She's an embarrassment to the human race, but the fact that she's African American shouldn't mean shit to anybody.

I think maybe an unpaid suspension for this DJ might be more in order than a complete firing. But he still owes the world some serious karma-payment before he's out of the woods. What a shitty thing to say/think/slip out.

19. I don't care who said it

she's an Aunt Thomasina, and I can't stand her.

So there!!!

Call me anything you want.

Knock yourself out.

[Bucky]

23. I can't stand her either. But I can never excuse racial slurs.

Call you anything I want? Fine.

You're a Cat, woman!!

(on the other hand, if Rice is a human, being a cat ain't such a bad thing)

[CatWoman]

24. smart ass!!!

:rofl:

[bbinacan]

4. He did apologize right after he said it.

The odd thing is that his commentary was complimentary of Rice. Well, until he said coon.

[Beaverhausen]

8. He inadvertently combined "coup" and "boon"

[seabeyond]

18. it sounded like he tripped over tongue and wasnt even saying coon

i dont care squat about this man, but doesnt sound like he was saying the word, what came out and then he said it more clearly in apologizing. i am thinking this wasnt a slip of the tongue as in accidently saying coon, i think it is a slip of tongue saying something that came out sounding kinda like coon

anyway,.... just my take.

[TalkingDog]

3. I hope it was just a flub...because even as much as I despise Condi...

if it was intentional, I have to agree with his firing.

[rzemanfl]

6. I hope they run the Shepard Smith Jennifer Lopez blow job

footage from Faux for fairness and balance.

[bbinacan]

28. Here's that Shepard

Smith BJ video.

[rzemanfl]

30. Thanks. n/t

[AlCzervik]

9. i just listened, it sounded like he meant to say "A big boon"

freudian slip or just talking to fast, i don't know.

[EFerrari]

10. Wtf? What IS it with people? Is every racist, sexist, xenophobe

on STEROIDS any more?

Who was is and what did the mofo say?


:wtf:

21. I think we should start building an ark. n/t

[tammywammy]

12. It sounded like a flub to me

I heard it a few times the other day on the radio. It really sounded like he accidentally mashed two words together, and unfortunately coon came out.

I just don't see how someone praising someone one second would then refer to them as a racist slur the second.

edited to add: I hope that his career isn't ruined because of this unfortunate accident.

[Catherine Vincent]

13. I just heard the clip and to me it sounds like an honest mistake.

Before I heard the clip, I thought it was purposely but now after hearing how he caught the slip right after and apologized, I'll give him a pass.

[VOX]

14. CW, I'd have serious trouble saying your subject line after two beers!

Broad-c-caster who c-called C-c-ondi, etc. Hic!

:toast:

[CatWoman]

15. heh

there's more than one krazy kat in your house, eh?

:D

[opihimoimoi]

16. and we let go Cheney who INTENTIONALLY sez "GO FUCK YOURSELF"

within earshot and within the Senate Chambers...wtf is that?

[CatWoman]

20. OPI FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!

:hi:

[opihimoimoi]

27. NO...its CATWOMAN for Prez

:yourock:

[EFerrari]

22. Executive privilege.

Yeah, right. :think:

[Psephos]

25. Thought police are having a field day with this one

Dude misspoke, and is thrown to the wolves. Critics claim to read his mind and detect clear evidence that there's a white-hooded Klansman down in there somewhere. Never mind that he instantly caught himself and apologized. Never mind that he was praising Rice. Never mind that he has no history of racial commentary. Fuck him, fuck his family, fuck his career and dreams.

Meanwhile, down at the record store you can load up with CDs filled with every filthy racial epithet.

WTF is wrong with this country? One word: hypocrisy.

Peace.

[high density]

26. I think she's a stupid f--king idiot.

Is that bad?

[CatWoman]

29. ROFL!!!

:rofl:

mind if I channel Tony the Tiger?

That's G-R-R-R-R-R-EAT!!!
