Conservative talker suspended after blaming swine flu on the ‘millions of leeches’ from Mexico.

Conservative talker Jay Severin was suspended indefinitely today by Boston's WTKK-FM after using the current swine flu outbreak to attack Mexicans and immigrants. On his radio show, Severin blamed the swine flu on what he called "some of the world's lowest of primitives in poor Mexico":

So now in addition to venereal disease and the other leading exports of Mexico -- women with mustaches and VD -- now we have swine flu. ... We should be if anything surprised that Mexico has not visited upon us poxes of more various and serious types considering the number of cimminalieans already here. <...>

(W)hen scoop up some of the world's lowest of primitives in poor Mexico and drop it down in the middle of the United States. Poor, without skills, without language, not share our culture, not share our hygiene. ... It's millions of leeches from a primitive country. ... Now they are exporting a rather more active form of disease which is the swine flu.


Listen to a compilation of his remarks at link~

Despite his comments, Severin's agent believes that Severin "will be back on the air doing great radio soon."

untreated pig waste, and the virus came into the US via US travelers. So he jeopardized his job for nothing--nice work!
