All in the McGee Family Radio

I think it's pretty clear that Jerrel Jones has no intention of keeping Michael McGee, Sr. off his Milwaukee radio station WNOV-AM.

Although he says that McGee is off the air "indefinitely," he's indefinite about what he means by "indefinite."

Jones has announced McGee's replacement. It's none other than the junior version of McGee.

That's as close as he could get to giving the disgraceful Michael McGee his time slot back.

From The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Radio station owner Jerrel Jones said Saturday that he's indefinitely suspending Mike McGee from his radio show on WNOV-AM (860) for remarks he made about the death of Katherine Sykes, the mother of radio talker Charlie Sykes.

Jones would not say how long "indefinitely" might be.

"Forever is a long time, and I don't want to say something that I may not be able to deal with," he said Saturday. "But I do want to make it clear that he won't be on anytime soon."

The show will stay in the family, with McGee's son, Milwaukee Ald. Michael McGee, taking over as host of the "Word Warriors" program.

"He was the natural host for this show at least for now," said Jones.

The younger McGee has himself stirred controversy with various remarks he has made about gays and others.

"Controversy is not what I object to. I've had my own share of controversy," said Jones. "His son deserves a chance now to do his own thing."

He said the show with the younger McGee would feature less editorializing and more calls for action and advocacy in the black community.

"We will advocate and do things we should do, but in a manner that's more productive," Jones said.

This makes me sick. It really does.

Jones reveals what he's about.

"He was the natural host for this show at least for now."

If Alderman Michael McGee, Jr. was the natural choice, that tells me that Jones wasn't looking to change the tone of the show.

...After meeting with McGee on Saturday, Jones said: "He's not apologetic, but does realize his timing was not the best. It was a pleasant meeting. He understands what needs to happen."

For more than 12 years, the elder McGee has purchased his airtime on the radio station. Jones took McGee off the air for a short period in 2004 when he used an obscenity on the air.

Jones said Mike McGee has a contract for "Word Warriors" that runs until January and will continue the contract for the show.

"The compromise is that he will continue to pay for the show, but he won't be on it," said Jones.

I think it's disgusting that McGee wasn't apologetic, but it's not at all surprising.

You can count on Junior McGee to be just as unapologetic and just as controversial as his father.

[Michael McGee Jr.] helped lead protests on behalf of Frank Jude Jr., who was beaten by a group of off-duty Milwaukee police officers.

...[T]he Jude protests did not start immediately after the beating, but after a front-page story appeared in the Journal Sentinel months later. At one rally, he called then-Milwaukee County District Attorney E. Michael McCann a "dumb ass" and used the word "faggot" to label the officers involved.

When that drew complaints from gay leaders, McGee was confronted at City Hall by state Sen. Tim Carpenter (D-Milwaukee), who demanded an apology.

McGee walked away, but later allegedly bragged to students on a bus trip to Washington, D.C.: "Man, I should have kicked his ass."

There have been plenty of other incidents, including one with police outside a Blockbuster video store in Wauwatosa. Later, McGee was arrested on suspicion of threatening a woman pregnant with his unborn child who had just received a restraining order against him. No charges were filed in that case.

Most recently, a restraining order was issued against McGee ordering him to stay away from Leon Todd, campaign manager for Jordan. In a radio appearance, McGee had said Todd should be "hung" for his "betrayal of the community."

He later gave out Todd's phone number over the air, which Todd said led to harassing phone calls.

Junior McGee threatened the mother of his child in court!

He allegedly said to her, "If you drive by my house, I'm going to kill your ass."

That is not good.

About ten days ago, Junior McGee was on WNOV and offering his plans to stop speeders.

I really want to organize some of these young guys in the community. When they see people speeding recklessly and swerving down the hood man, just start brickin’ em, for real… And start bricking these cars, man, gorilla style… And they are going to learn that you can’t drive down certain blocks and feel that they can be reckless.

Junior McGee did make a lame attempt to back off from those remarks; but it was way too little, way too late.

I expect the McGees to behave like the disgraces that they are.

What's troubling is that so many of Milwaukee's leaders, better people, don't condemn them.

I like this comment from Sheriff David Clarke: "The next intelligent thing that comes out of Alderman McGee's mouth will be the first."

Battlefield Ethics in Iraq

The lib media are jumping all over the military's Mental Health Advisory Team (MHAT) report to assess the mental health and well-being of Soldiers and Marines serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

They don't give the Pentagon points for seeking to understand and address issues of stress suffered by those serving, nor does it get credit for examining ethical concerns in the combat environment.

This is the FIRST time (MHAT IV) that an assessment of Battlefield Ethics and combat leader behaviors has been done.

Unfortunately, some are choosing to politicize the results of the study and exploit them to advance the anti-Iraq, anti-Bush, anti-war agenda.

WASHINGTON -- In a survey of U.S. troops in combat in Iraq, less than half of Marines and a little more than half of Army soldiers said they would report a member of their unit for killing or wounding an innocent civilian.

More than 40 percent support the idea of torture in some cases, and 10 percent reported personally abusing Iraqi civilians, the Pentagon said Friday in what it called its first ethics study of troops at the war front. Units exposed to the most combat were chosen for the study, officials said.

"It is disappointing," said analyst John Pike of the Globalsecurity.org think tank. "But anybody who is surprised by it doesn't understand war. ... This is about combat stress."

The military has seen a number of high-profile incidents of alleged abuse in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, including the killings of 24 civilians by Marines, the rape and killing of a 14-year-old girl and the slaying of her family and the sexual humiliation of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison.

It must have felt good for AP reporter Pauline Jelinek to bring up Abu Ghraib and other abuses by the military.

Personally, I think there should be a mental health and well-being survey done on members of the press.

So many seem to have serious issues.

"I don't want to, for a minute, second-guess the behavior of any person in the military — look at the kind of moral dilemma you are putting people in," Christopher Preble of the libertarian Cato Institute think tank, said of the mission in Iraq. "There's a real tension between using too much force, which generally means using force to protect yourself, and using too little and therefore exposing yourself to greater risk."

I wonder what the results would have been if the same questions were posed to the troops that were part of the D-Day invasion or the Battle of the Bulge, or those that fought at Iwo Jima or Guadalcanal.

What were their stress levels?

Was everything hunky dory for them?

I don't think so.

...The study team also found that long and repeated deployments were increasing troop mental health problems.

Gee, what a surprise that is!

OF COURSE THAT'S THE CASE.

Common sense would tell anyone to expect that.

The AP article highlights some other findings:

_Only 47 percent of the soldiers and 38 percent of Marines said noncombatants should be treated with dignity and respect.

_About a third of troops said they had insulted or cursed at civilians in their presence.

_About 10 percent of soldiers and Marines reported mistreating civilians or damaging property when it was not necessary. Mistreatment includes hitting or kicking a civilian.

_Forty-four percent of Marines and 41 percent of soldiers said torture should be allowed to save the life of a soldier or Marine.

_Thirty-nine percent of Marines and 36 percent of soldiers said torture should be allowed to gather important information from insurgents.

None of this comes as a shock to me.

First of all, it's important to remember that the findings in studies like this give an overall picture, not hard facts.

Many factors are at play when people give their responses to surveys. For example, some take the survey seriously and put thought into their replies; others don't. Some try to give what they perceive to be the "right" answers. Others haven't really examined their hearts and minds on the issues. The responses can vary widely based on an individual's recent experiences and general mood on a given day.

In short, even an extensive study provides only a general assessment, not an objective, totally accurate picture of a reality.

With that qualification in mind, let's look at the findings of this study.

Many of the sound bites on this study that I've heard in the media deal with the torture issue.

That had to be an extremely tough section of questions for the troops to address.

Should torture be used to SAVE THE LIFE of a fellow Soldier or Marine?

I would say, "Hell, yeah."

If my husband were in harm's way, would I prefer that his fellow Soldiers or Marines not do all they could to save his life? The answer is simple: NO.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't combat about killing the enemies before they kill you?

I'm not advocating any sort of gruesome torture techniques like those employed by Saddam Hussein's regime, but get real. This is war. The troops have an allegiance to each other, to protect and defend.

American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman said it best: "War is hell."

Hell isn't very nice.

I think everyone is pretty much on the same page when it comes to that, right?

War is no picnic. It's not pleasant business.

One must be seriously delusional to think otherwise.

Sherman understood war.

"You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out. I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices to-day than any of you to secure peace."

"Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster."

That does sound harsh.

Why?

WAR IS HARSH.

As Sherman says, it's not easy or safe. War isn't about being a nice guy at the expense of securing victory and peace.

Bottom Line: I think rather than being critical of the military, a tremendous amount of credit should be given for its efforts to address the mental health status of the troops and their needs.

Attempts to wage war with as much compassion to the civil population as possible are commendable. Being mindful of ethical standards while conducting war is noble.

This study shouldn't become a political football.

Most importantly, it does NOT make the case to surrender in Iraq.
________________________

In looking up Sherman quotations, I found this one to be interesting:

"If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world but I am sure we would be getting reports from hell before breakfast."

Generals did battle with the press even in Sherman's day.

Reporters -- I guess you can't live with them, but you can't live without them.

Bye-Bye, Michael McGee

This doesn't surprise me at all.

Jerrel Jones, owner of WNOV-AM, announced that former Milwaukee Alderman Michael McGee is off the radio station's lineup -- for now.

From The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Jerrel Jones, the owner of radio station WNOV-AM (860) has barred talk show host Michael McGee from the air indefinitely because of the "disgusting" remarks McGee made Thursday morning about the death of Katherine Sykes.

Sykes, the mother of Charlie Sykes, the host of a conservative talk show on WTMJ-AM (620), died Tuesday in a fire in her Mequon home.

During his "Word Warriors" program Thursday, McGee said Katherine Sykes deserved her tragic fate and suggested that her son was responsible.

I don't know. Jones has barred McGee from his station "indefinitely."

"Indefinite" couldn't be more vague.

I think Jones is expecting the dust to settle after a while. I have no doubt that in due time Jones will welcome McGee back. He just won't predict when that will happen.

...More than 100 people called WNOV management on Friday to condemn the remarks and demand that McGee be barred permanently from the airwaves.

Jones pulled McGee from his usual morning slot on Friday but has not decided whether he will be banished permanently.

"I thought the statement was terrible," Jones said Friday afternoon. "It was ridiculous, and the timing was absolutely deplorable.

"The remark was disgusting."

Jones said he would meet with McGee this morning to discuss the former Milwaukee alderman's offensive comments and the prospects of his return to the air.

I really don't like how Jones is phrasing his comments.

"The remark was disgusting" sounds as if McGee uttered an offensive sentence or two. That's not the case at all. McGee made lots of disgusting REMARKS.

I don't see how Jones could ever allow McGee back on his radio station. There's no way that McGee will apologize. He won't do an "Imus on Al Sharpton's show" mea culpa. He won't meet with Charlie Sykes to beg forgiveness the way that Imus met with the Rutgers women's basketball team. McGee would never do the right thing.

Jones has to know that. I don't think it's enough for Jones to condemn McGee's REMARKS.

The fact that Jones hasn't already permanently banned McGee from the air tells me that he has no intention of doing so. I think that McGee's return to WNOV is a done deal.

McGee has bought his air time for a least a dozen years on the station that Jones has owned since 1972.

Jones took McGee's show off the air for a short period in 2004 after he used an obscenity during "Word Warriors."

Jones said he has not determined whether he will allow McGee back this time.

"I am going to make sure that never happens again," Jones said. "I will guarantee myself that.

"I don't know just what course of action that will have to take."

The only way that Jones can guarantee that McGee will never do something like this again is by never allowing him to come back.

McGee and Sykes have clashed on their respective programs, and the elder McGee has accused the WTMJ radio host of attacking his alderman son and the black community.

This really bugs me.

Why is The Journal Sentinel carrying water for McGee?

I've never heard Sykes make any sort of racially-motivated or baseless attacks on the black community or Junior McGee.

In fact, Sykes is a tireless advocate for School Choice, a program that offers educational opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach for some kids in Milwaukee's black community.

Any criticism that Sykes has directed at Michael McGee, Jr. has been entirely legitimate.

McGee, Sr. and Sykes are in totally different leagues.

The Journal Sentinel reports as if they should be considered on the same playing field. That's an insult to Sykes. That's typical of The Journal Sentinel.

...Jones referred to the long-time rivalry while discussing the situation Friday.

"I'm saying, if you keep punching a guy's kid, and you keep punching a guy's kid, when he gets a chance, he's going to throw a blow," Jones said. "He threw a low blow."

Jones said he believes McGee's remarks were meant to hurt Charlie Sykes and not meant to demean his mother.

Good grief.

The Journal Sentinel comes awfully close to blaming the victim here. Jones is rationalizing McGee's behavior. Naturally, he claims that McGee threw the low blow because Sykes had mercilessly beaten Junior McGee.

That's crap.

It's crap that Jones would say it, and it's crap that The Journal Sentinel would print it, failing to report the idiocy of Jones' explanation of McGee's ugliness.

Jones reliance on the rivalry to explain that McGee didn't really mean to disrespect Katherine Sykes is lame. It's a feeble excuse.

If his intent was to hurt Sykes, that doesn't make it OK, or any less offensive.

The Journal Sentinel Editorial Board weighed in on the matter.

That doesn't make up for virtually ignoring the story for a day.

If not for Drudge and Michelle Malkin exposing McGee and revealing him as a vile person to the entire country and beyond, I bet the paper would still be ignoring it.

The Board was shamed into commenting.

In its editorial, Outrageous speech," the board praises Jerrel Jones.

It was tough for Jones, "who had to balance McGee's right to free speech."

I'm sure it was also tough for the Editorial Board to defend Sykes; but the deplorable nature of McGee's comments was even too much for the Board to excuse.

For McGee to call Sykes names when he is grieving is offensive enough. But to say on the air that a woman who died tragically somehow deserved it for no other reason than being the mother of someone with whom you often have publicly sparred is something else. That goes beyond what most people, no matter who they are, consider acceptable behavior.

It's interesting that while the editorial condemns McGee and offers a few quotes, it fails to cite some of the most vile statements from McGee -- that Sykes "killed his mama," that "He got tried of waiting for that money."

McGee's most outrageous speech is left out.

In any case, it was the right thing for The Journal Sentinel Editorial Board to do, to swallow hard and actually side with Sykes.

The question: When will McGee be back on the air at WNOV?

It's hard to say, but he I think there's little doubt that he will be back.

Milwaukee Public Schools and the Thug Culture

Where's the outrage?

Will there be a FIVE HOUR meeting about this?

From The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

An 18-year-old male student from Marshall High School is in Milwaukee police custody today for allegedly punching an educational assistant numerous times in the head and face.

Milwaukee Public Schools spokeswoman Roseann St. Aubin said police are at the school today investigating the details of what occurred about 1:05 p.m. yesterday at the school, 4141 N. 64th St.

"We're still trying to figure out what happened," she said.

Police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz reported this morning that the victim, 47, had been punched, but was unaware if the woman sought medical attention.

Read more about Milwaukee's thug students and their thug parents here and here and here.

There's SO much more. I could go on and on and on....

McGee and Sykes: When Private Grief Becomes Very Public

Have you seen Drudge today?

Michael McGee's bilge has gone national, REALLY national.



At the top of the page is a link to ABC's Milwaukee affiliate WISN 12.

Michelle Malkin has the story, too.

McGee's latest hate-filled rant is no longer a Milwaukee matter.

That's a good thing in terms of exposing McGee and his enablers, including WNOV and the local media.

I think it's a good thing that the dysfunctional city of Milwaukee is getting national attention.

Anyone researching Michael McGee, Sr. is sure to come across the disgrace of Michael McGee, Jr.

The country can learn what a mess Mayor Tom Barrett's city is. It is such a mess.

Perhaps this negative publicity will be the push needed to get Milwaukee's complacent community leaders to act. Maybe something positive will come from this.

Maybe this humiliation will finally be the wake up call for the city's leaders and the community to condemn the sort of hate that the elder McGee, the younger McGee, and their followers promote.

That said, it's heart-breaking that something as tragic as the death of Charlie Sykes' mom has become a national matter, thanks to the ugliness of Michael McGee.

I know what it's like to lose a parent. I know the grief. Because I'm not a person in the public's eye, I had privacy and time to grieve.

As a public figure, Charlie Sykes' loss is playing out in an open forum. That has to be extremely difficult as the family mourns their loss. I don't think I could handle that.

Then again, when tragedy hits a known personality, the individual receives an out-pouring of prayers and support that unknowns don't get.

Look at Elizabeth Edwards. Because she's a public figure, thousands and thousands of people have reached out to her as she deals with her health challenges.

Others, all of us unknowns, don't get gestures of support on that kind of grand scale as we face our personal problems and pain. Some of us suffer alone.

But on the flip side, we aren't publicly scrutinized and criticized and taunted as we confront our challenges. We have our precious privacy intact, time to grieve and cope with whatever we're dealt.

I guess that's the tradeoff.

Still, I'm sorry that Michael McGee's repugnant words are fodder for a national audience because the sicko probably loves the attention he's getting. He's such a twisted, hateful person that I suppose he's thrilled.

Hopefully, McGee won't win this one. Hopefully, this will be the end of his reign of hate in Milwaukee. Hopefully, members of Milwaukee's African-American community will speak out AGAINST McGee and abandon him.

I'm so sorry that the Sykes family has to endure this additional pain.

I think it's appropriate to highlight the family's statement.

WTMJ's Charlie Sykes confirmed that his mother, Katherine B. Sykes, died in a fire at her home in Mequon this afternoon. She was 87 years old.

Kay Sykes was a warm, intelligent, and generous woman who took great pride in her son's work as a writer and broadcaster. She delighted in her three grandchildren and was very proud of their academic, athletic, and artistic achievements. She loved books, music, and nature. She lived a full life, and her family and friends will deeply miss her.

Charlie wishes to thank his listeners for their thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

The GOP Debate and Abortion

Republican presidential hopefuls are seen during the first Republican presidential primary debate of the 2008 election at the Ronald Reagan Library on Thursday, May 3, 2007 in Simi Valley, Calif. They are from left: Mitt Romney, former Massachusetts governor, Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., Jim Gilmore, former governor of Virginia, Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., Tommy Thompson, former secretary of Health and Human Services, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. (AP Photo/Kevork Djansezian)

Thursday night's Republican debate summary:

The Republican presidential candidates are better than the Democrat presidential candidates.

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. -- Alone among 10 Republican presidential contenders, Rudy Giuliani said in campaign debate Thursday night "it would be OK" if the Supreme Court upholds a 1973 landmark abortion rights ruling. "It would be OK to repeal it. It would be OK also if a strict constructionist viewed it as precedent," said the former New York city mayor, who has a record of supporting abortion rights.

In a party that draws strength from anti-abortion voters, Giuliani's nine GOP rivals agreed that it would be a great day if the court overturns the landmark ruling.

"Glorious day of human liberty and freedom," enthused Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney acknowledged he had changed his mind on the subject when he began to delve into the issue of cloning. He said his position had once effectively been "pro-choice."

But Giuliani, who said he personally hates abortion, hedged when asked about his current position.

"I think the Court has to make that decision and then the country can deal with it," he said. "... The states could then make their own decisions."

Alone among the top three contenders, Arizona Sen. John McCain has a career-long record of opposition to abortion.

The 10 rivals showed their conservative credentials across 90 minutes of debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, each claiming to be a worthy heir to the political legacy of the late 40th president.

They stressed the importance of persisting in Iraq, called for lower taxes and a muscular defense and supported spending restraint.

First of all, the ten Republican candidates showed their superiority over the Democrat candidates by agreeing to participate in a debate hosted by the unabashedly lib-biased MSNBC and Democrat hack Chris Matthews.

(Not all libs are happy with Matthews' performance. Read more.)

The girly men Dems (Yes, Hillary is masculine enough to be considered one of the boys) weren't man enough to debate on the FOX News Channel.

The Republicans score points just for showing up.

On the substance of the debate--

Naturally, the lib news outlets are focusing on the abortion issue.

They want to divide and demoralize the Republicans, with hopes of subduing the popularity of Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney.

...The issue of abortion looms large in the 2008 presidential campaign in a party where a wide swath of political activists support the overturning of the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling.

Both Romney and Giuliani must persuade conservative voters they are ready to embrace that view — or else persuade them to overlook the issue in picking a candidate for the White House.

I am pro-life.

Like John Kerry, I believe that life begins at conception.

I support pro-life candidates.

Are the anti-abortion credentials of Giuliani and Romney strong enough to satisfy Republican voters?

I think so.

Romney used to be pro-choice. So what? He's not now.

Giuliani has said that he would appoint constructionist judges, like John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito.

Since the abortion issue will be fought in the courts, I'm comfortable with Giuliani's stance.

I'm not troubled by a candidate's flip-flopping on abortion.

What counts is what the candidates are promising to do if elected president.

Remember, Ronald Reagan was a Democrat before switching to the Right side. I'm not aware of many or any conservatives that hold that against Reagan.

The undeniable reality is that any Republican candidate would be dramatically better on pro-life issues than any Democrat.

The Democrats are beholden to the rabid pro-abortion crowd.

A Dem in the White House would be disastrous for the Culture of Life agenda.

That's important to keep in mind. If you are pro-life, there is no Democrat option. None.

Conservatives can be dissatisfied with the current field of Republicans. They can fantasize about savior Fred Thompson. Whatever.

It's a no brainer that a Democrat in the White House will put more unborn lives at risk than if a Republican wins.

In terms of upholding the sanctity of life, any Republican, including Giuliani, is better than a death merchant Democrat.

Ugly, Ugly Michael McGee, Sr.

WNOV radio personality and former Milwaukee Alderman Michael McGee, Sr.

(Photo/ WISN 12)

I am disgusted and angry beyond words.

When is the Milwaukee community going to say, "ENOUGH"?

WNOV (860 AM) should axe Michael McGee, Sr. NOW.

This man, a former Milwaukee alderman and father of current Milwaukee alderman Michael McGee Jr., has no sense of decency. He doesn't possess a shred of decency, no compassion whatsoever. He is utterly heartless. I think he's soulless.

This morning, "Commander" McGee made remarks about WTMJ (620 AM) talk show host Charlie Sykes and his mother's recent death.

Via Patrick at Badger Blogger, Real Debate Wisconsin has the audio of McGee's vicious attack on Charlie Sykes and his mother. McGee also blasts Mark Belling, his mother, and all of Milwaukee. I assume McGee means white Milwaukee.

It's really hard to transcribe the audio because McGee slurs and mumbles, but here are some quotes:

(Warning: Offensive, vulgar, racist language.)

"Mother Sykes... she dead. I mean, to me, it's the vengeance of God. I ain't got no tears."

"A woman that have a fool like that deserve whatever's coming to her, 'cause she raised a sure enough idiot. "

"And of course Mark Belling created in a lab out of spare parts."

"On the real side, whatever happen to those monsters, they deserve it."

"But really on the other side of it, just my, my, my instincts say Charlie Sykes killed his mama."

"He got tried of waiting for that money."

"Said, 'Mama gotta go.' "

"[If not for] Hitler's mama, wouldn't have been no Hilter. So the way I look at it, it's tied in."

"When you got evil like Charlie Sykes, I mean on any issue that fool is against the black community... it could be some young nigger spitting in the street..."

"All of them fools and Milwaukee as a whole -- They hate a nigger. And they hate, they hate, they hate."

McGee also rambles on about the "plantation" and the "master pissing" in the "nigger's face."

It's absolutely sickening.

Where's the local chapter of the NAACP on this one? I'd like to hear reaction from them. Do they only get bent out of shape about handcuffing violent MPS students?


McGee can be as vile as he wants to be. His right to free speech is protected under the Constitution. He can spew his hatred, but there are standards and regulations when it comes to airing his reprehensible slime on the radio.

I could not care less about Don Imus, but let's have at least a semblance of consistency here. McGee's comments are certainly as offensive as Imus' "nappy headed hos."

This man should be thrown off the air.

Who listens to this guy? Do they agree with him? Are they entertained by him?

It's frightening to think that such ugliness garners an audience.
