HuffPost: Texas Radio Station Airs Racist Comments directed at Obama
Racism On The Radio Toward Barack Obama (1 comments )

Austin, Texas is a well-known island of political blue in a sea of red, and one of our quirks is a country radio station by the name of KVET AM and FM. The station is actually #1 in this market, but is certainly helped by the fact that it carries the hometown University of Texas Longhorns sports

broadcasts.
The weekday morning show is hosted by "Sammy and Bob," a couple of longtime and tolerated local yokels. Bob Cole is the straight man and Sammy Allred plays the curmudgeon. Sam also has a country music band and was once the bandleader on the old Arthur Godfrey TV show back in the 1950's. He's ancient.

On Thursday, March 1st these two fonts of morning drive-time wisdom were discussing Barack Obama's recent visit to Austin. The presidential candidate drew over 15,000 to an outdoor rally in the middle of a rainy work day (Hillary beware!) Here is a partial transcript of their on-air banter:

Allred: "What happened to Bama Rock or whatever his name is?"
Cole: "He's moving up in the polls. Obama."
Allred: "He's a likeable guy."
Cole: "He's 'clean' is what what's-his-name said. Joe Biden told us that."
Allred: "Clean darky."
Cole: "Sammy!"
.....(more)
