Radio host canned for calling candidate a 'fat lesbian' |
When the liberal press engages in the same type of commentary, it's called
"honesty in journalism'. Why the double standard?
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/11/03/host.fired.ap/index.html
BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- A radio talk show host was fired Friday after
he made a derogatory comment about the weight and sexuality of the
Green-Rainbow party candidate running for Massachusetts governor.
WRKO-AM pulled host John DePetro from the air after he made the comments
Thursday. It announced Friday that he had been fired.
"In the context of what he said and the tone with which he said it, the
comments were completely inappropriate, derogatory and will not be
tolerated," said Jason Wolfe, the vice president of AM programming and
operations for station owner Entercom Boston.
DePetro did not immediately return an e-mailed request for comment Friday.
However, he told The Boston Globe in a story posted Friday on its Web site
that he was "stunned" that he had been fired.
He said he had called the candidate, Grace Ross, to apologize for calling
her a "fat lesbian."
The host, who calls himself the "Independent Man," said he made the remark
because he was exasperated that Ross and independent candidate Christy Mihos
were eating up time during a debate earlier in the week that included
Republican candidate Kerry Healey and Democrat Deval Patrick.
He said it was then that he told listeners he wished someone would "tell the
fat lesbian to shut up."
"I just think both her and Christy have served their purpose and I had a
problem with them still thrusting themselves into the debate," he told the
Globe. "I think I vocalized what a lot of people were thinking -- will you
just shut up and let them go at it. I added a little more."

That is such a childish accusation. First of all there is no ONE entity
called the "liberal press" THAT is an invention of you sick Fundie types in
order to have a recognizable "enemy."
So, why not try a bit of honesty?
What was shown about the candidate that made the comment, is that ALL it
took was a little frustration and his bigotry and hatred came out. THAT is
the hyprocrisy that many of you extreme right wingers protect and pretend
doesn't exist.

The "liberal" press like the Wall Street Journal? Rush Limbaugh?
Bill O'Reilly? Faux News?
well, yes, of course they resort to lies and insults for people they
don't like, but because you agree with them you tolerate insults.
You're a hypocrite.

Give us examples.

Why aren't you honest? Why are you asking the others to be honest when
you always lie?Why do you always defend people when they are at their
most vile and disgusting?
Why are you vile and disgusting? Why do you exist? What's your purpose

See, if you were honest, you'd answer these questions I keep asking

The man was fired by A CONSERVATIVE radio station.
He wasn't fired by liberals, he was fired by the same
people who put the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge,
Michael Savage and other neo-cons on the air.
http://www.wrko.com/
I mean, DAMN!
This is the internet. Didn't it ever occur to you to look?
Check out the radio station? See if it in any way conformed
to your views before going online and spreading lies?
http://www.wrko.com/
Did you care?
Seriously. Did you care if your claims of "Liberals"
getting a man fired were true?
If you cared, if honestly -- not offering any "false
testimony" -- mattered to you, why didn't you do a
simple 30-second Google search for the radio station?
You are spreading LIES. You are. And you had the power
to check the facts before you told YOUR LIES. It couldn't
have been more convenient for you. In fact, it would have
taken a lot LESS TIME and LESS EFFORT to do a
little fact checking then it took to post YOUR LIES.
You're filth. Yet, you represent yourself as a "Good
Christian" and NO so-called "Christians" call you on
it. Not a one denounces you for your overt malice.

Curious that Pat Robertson's network did not get fined for calling for the murder of
Chavez.
Curious that Swaggart did not get fined for calling for the deaths of gay men.
Curious that the FCC has not mentioned fining the commntator who called a woman a
fat lesbian

Want to hear something funny?
I was watching the news with my room mate when
this story first broke. I turned to him and said
something like, "Imagine how fast they'd fire me!"
This led to a brief discussion on the various things
we'd most likely get fired for saying.
Could I get away with say "Lush Limpballs" on Boston
radio, even with Lush being a confirmed drug addict
who was caught smuggling Viagra into the country?
What about ***** Cheney?
Or the *****, Cheney?

Psst. Not only is the radio station that fired the guy
neo-con owned & operated (hosting Matt Druge,
Lush Limpballs & Michael Savage amongst others),
but the candidate he was attacking could only ever
steal votes away from the Democrat.
There was never the slightest concern that this woman
was ever going to take a Republican vote. She is
decidedly to the left -- a lesbian activist -- who, amongst
other things, is calling for a tax increase. Every vote
she gets will be a vote lost by the Democrats.
The more you smear her the more votes the Democrat
gets.
