No way in hell, but it would be nice.

http://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/articles/0929radio-racialslur29-ON.html

snip-
"ROCHESTER, N.Y. - A radio talk-show host was fired Monday for an on-air racial slur against the city's black mayor.

Bob Lonsberry had apologized Thursday and agreed to undergo diversity training and remain off the air indefinitely. But he lost his job after attacking critics in a Web column Monday, saying the "liberal and afraid ... seek to dominate society through threat and intimidation.""

...

snip-
"Last month, Lonsberry joked with listeners about an orangutan that briefly escaped a zoo, then commented that the animal was now running for county executive. He made a similar reference again last week as monkey sounds were aired in the background."

1. I doubt it
I've heard this guy Lonsbeery before, and he was a hatemonger. Granted, Rush is terrible, but he has NOTHING on this rw freak. Maybe if Rush pulled a Mike Savage stunt he would get canned.

2. sticks and stones..
may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.
Anybody remember that one ? Why are people so sensitive and desire thought control these days ?
I just use the old method of turning the dial. The mute button works too.

5. This is BIZARRE
I used to listen to Lonsberry, because he would often disagree with Rush, was very mild mannered, and seemed more thoughtful than your average Repuke.

What the HELL happened to this guy?

I had to double check to make sure I wasn't reading about the wrong guy?

Hate monger? On what planet?

I never heard Lonsberry say a bad word about anyone, well, except for Chiropracters. He seemed to have a thing about Chiropracters.

It just doesn't seem like the same man...

6. The asshole will end up as a Fox news commentator.
I'm putting 20 bucks down on that prediction.
