Severin taken off the air in Boston

[malaise]

and suspended for calling Mexicans 'criminalians'.
These wing nuts have really gone too far.
Savage, Boortz et al have gone mad.

“No contact anywhere with an illegal alien!” conservative talk show host Michael Savage advised his U.S. listeners this week on how to avoid the swine flu. “And that starts in the restaurants" where he said, you “don’t know if they wipe their behinds with their hands!”

And Thursday, Boston talk radio host Jay Severin was suspended after calling Mexican immigrants "criminalians" during a discussion of swine flu and saying that emergency rooms had become "essentially condos for Mexicans."

That’s tepid compared to some of the xenophobic reactions spreading like an emerging virus across the Internet. “This disgusting blight is because MEXICANS ARE PIGS!” an anonymous poster ranted on the “prison planet” forum, part of radio host and columnist Alex Jones’ Web site.

1. Why is Severin spending so much time in ERs?

:rofl:

[malaise]

2. It's all good

They've gone berserk because they know the country has left them. One by one the advertisers will drop them too.

5. I'd prefer to think it was because guys named Pedro are beating the crap out of him

But he's probably just a swine flu carrier by nature.

3. He'll be back, of course, in a month or so; just like Imus.

4. They should all be taken off the air

These assholes spew pure hatred on a daily basis, applauding vigilante groups like the Minutemen, etc.

6. I accidentally heard Savage yesterday during my drive home. He needs psychiatric evaluation pronto.

He was screaming at his audience because someone had accused him of hate speech. I've never heard anything like it over the public airwaves in my lifetime. It's strait-jacket time.

7. Ed Shultz about to cover this

Should be fun.

[Parker CA]

9. The sound bites were ridiculous. This guy takes the cake for recent psycho talk. Hopefully

he'll be off the air longer than a mere suspension might require.

8. That fuckin bastard

what an asshole


pull him off the air
