Radio - 05-15-07

I'm a big fan of the Opie and Anthony Radio show. Today they put out this press release:

http://www.foundrymusic.com/opieanth...D_ANTHONY.html

Apparently they were suspended by XM Satellite Radio for one of the little bits they did that went "too far". I listen to a LOT of radio, far more than I watch TV, and this trend is starting to get frightening. First Imus gets fired for saying, what was to me, a really weak and only vageuly racial comment. Now radio hosts are dropping like flies. How long until this starts moving away from comedy shock jocks and into the Rush Limbaughs and Shawn Hannitys of the airwaves... people who are actually driving forces in the political world as well?

It looks to me like our freedom of speech is under attack by extreme special interest groups, and its starting to piss me off.

Any thoughts?

What's wrong with you? Don't you understand how much emotional damage can be done when you offend someone? Offensive speech should be banned!

Of course, unless the offending words are directed at whites, or Christians. Then it's perfectly allright to be offensive.

Diversity is our strength!











But seriously, this is what happens when you start kissing the asses of outspoken NIGGERS because you're afraid of being called a racist.

bullshit, westboro is the best example, they attack our boys who do their jobs, at their graves while moms is watching. as far as the boys on radio, natural progression of tightening state, as far as im concerened. its whats going to happen, the people who have their heads stuck the farthest out are going to loose an eyebrow, its just what happens.

those westboro guys have an enormous testicual holding structure, if my girl was killed in combat and someone protested her funeral he or she better make sure they were right with which ever god of their choosing.


take em all, take em all, put our back against a wall and shoot em, toe to toe, watch em fall, come on boys take em all.

Short, fat people may get rights
MASSACHUSETTS | Would law stop bias -- or business?

May 18, 2007
BY KEN MAGUIRE
BOSTON -- Ellen Frankel stands just 4-foot-8 inches tall, a size that allowed larger co-workers to playfully scoop her up at the office and make remarks about her height. Some even patted her on the head.
Lawmakers are considering complaints such as hers as they review a bill that would make Massachusetts just the second state to bar discrimination based on height or weight.

''People in authority will very easily make comments about height that they wouldn't make about race or gender,'' said Frankel, a Marblehead author.

Jeanne Toombs understands the frustration. She says overweight people routinely are discriminated against because of their size.

''It's not fair. No matter what you think of fat people, they deserve to be treated like human beings,'' said Toombs, 59, a piano teacher who weighs 300 pounds.

But Republican analyst Todd Domke is concerned that lawmakers will scare off businesses if they expand protection to include short and overweight workers.

''We might as well add colorblind, left-handed, allergic-to-cashews, and get it over with,'' Domke said.
