Jay Severin suspended for comments about mexicans[views:14935][posts:125]_____________________________________ [May 1,2009 6:22am - the_reverend ""] http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2009/04/_jay_severin.html I heard the comments on the air and thought they were a little much... but not too out of line with what he typically says. Curtis Sliwa was the replacement and he's kind of an idiot. |
| __________________________________________________________ [May 1,2009 7:39am - BILLY MAYS HERE /w SOMEDAY PROV. ""] I ENJOY JAY, BUT HAL TURNER IS MUCH BETTER. |
| _________________________________________ [May 1,2009 8:31am - largefreakatzero ""] "Jay Severin, the fiery, right-wing radio talk show host on Boston’s WTKK-FM radio station, was suspended today after calling Mexican immigrants "criminaliens," “primitives,” “leeches,” and “women with mustaches and VD,” among other incendiary comments. " Severin is an idiot, but none of the above sounds incorrect. |
| ________________________________ [May 1,2009 8:52am - Martins ""] He's called them criminaliens for ages. Yesterday he just said that American emergency rooms are like condos or whatever. I just don't get the FCC. Mexicans aren't even Americans. Who cares? |
| _____________________________________ [May 1,2009 8:55am - BlackoutRick ""] Really, who gives a fuck. Jay's a hippie and I can't stand his conservative stances but I don't think he deserved this. |
| _____________________________________ [May 1,2009 9:13am - the_reverend ""] it wasn't the FCC that suspended him. the FCC can't do that (1995 deregulation). It was WTKK that suspended him. the "women with mustaches and VD" comment was hilarious. The other stuff he's said plenty of other times. This show he was very outspoken about how mexicians come to the US only to spread disease. It's not that they were "out there" but a lot of them seemed "out of place" even for this douche. It would be like this convo going on "so we are talking about the gay marriage bill before the NH house. ALL HOMOS ARE FAGGOTS AND GOD PUNISHED THEM WITH AIDS AND NOW THEY ARE PUNISHING US WITH AIDS AND THAT'S ALL THAT THEY CAN DO. So the NH house are a bunch of liberal domestic enemies of the constitution." |
| _____________________________________ [May 1,2009 9:15am - the_reverend ""] and all that is going to happen to him is he will get more popular with the worst and dimmest. The picture that FOX25 showed of him was so horrible it made me lulz. |
| ________________________________ [May 1,2009 9:18am - Martins ""] Listening to him is so awesome. I don't agree with him but it's entertaining as fuck. |
| ____________________________________ [May 1,2009 9:34am - ouchdrummer ""] entertaining, sure... and don't get me wrong, i think people should be allowed to say what they want. But the shit this guy said (says regularly) IS racist, hateful, and usually plain ol crazy. |
| _____________________________________ [May 1,2009 9:38am - the_reverend ""] true that. |
| _____________________________________ [May 1,2009 9:39am - the_reverend ""] and his listeners are as entertaining as watching a retarded kid do math. |
| _______________________________________ [May 1,2009 9:52am - DestroyYouAlot ""] He's a giant douche, but TKK is apparently a bunch of pussies. Way to stand behind your convictions, ladies. OMG, DIAL-A-MATTRESS MIGHT PULL THEIR AD, WHAT WILL WE DO?!? |
| _________________________________________ [May 1,2009 9:55am - largefreakatzero ""] Right? Like Mexicans would use mattresses anyway. |
| _____________________________________ [May 1,2009 9:56am - the_reverend ""] pull out couches have mattresses too. |

| __________________________________________ [May 1,2009 10:05am - largefreakatzero ""] Yeah, but back seats of Corollas don't. |
| ____________________________________ [May 1,2009 10:06am - anonymous ""] This is the American continent, anyone born here or in Argentina makes them an American, if you want to call them south Americans go for it, then consider yourself as North American not American...Makes sense? Criminaliens is the best nick ever...hahaha:point: |

| ___________________________________________ [May 1,2009 10:47am - FuckIsMySignature ""] he has a BS in BS |
| _____________________________________ [May 1,2009 10:49am - ouchdrummer ""] i get it. |
| ___________________________________ [May 1,2009 12:48pm - narkybark ""] I'm amused how he tries to act like a ladies' man, when in reality he looks like a coked-out vampire. Theater of the mind! |
| _____________________________ [May 1,2009 1:05pm - Yeti ""] eh, they're just mexicans. |

| _______________________________ [May 1,2009 4:38pm - Kevord ""] Obviously the guys a racist and you'd think the conservative movement would try to distance themselves from these kinds of lunatics. The funny part is I agree with what he was trying to say about people crossing the border. I just don't agree with acting like they're not human beings. |

| _______________________________ [May 1,2009 7:46pm - zyklon ""] I can't speak for everyone but not all illegal immigrants are criminals, most of them are good people. the guy should be fired |
| _____________________________________ [May 1,2009 11:46pm - ouchdrummer ""] ^^^ i agree, i'm married to one. And she pays taxes, works really hard for very little money, and has been constantly trying to become a citizen but even after i married her it's a long long road. |
| _______________________________________ [May 2,2009 2:17am - AndrewBastard ""] Jay is the fucking man. He's all for LEGAL aliens. LEGAL is the key word here, people. What's that word again? LEGAL. People in this country ILLEGALLY are criminals and aliens hence his coining the phrase CRIMALIENS. It's just a clever shtick that he enjoys using. LIBERALS are supposed to equal FREEDOM OF SPEECH. aren't they? |
| _____________________________________ [May 2,2009 2:21am - Hungtableed ""] Freedom speech anyone? I don't take either party these days, all politicians are scum. However, it's the fucking liberals and their seeeeeeeeensitivity that's going to ruin this country. Google "The fairness doctrine" - 'nuff said. They suck and fail at talk radio so they want to make it law for radio hosts to give liberal talking points too just to be faaaaaaaaaaair to them...we wouldn't want to hurt their feelings now, would we? |
| ________________________________________ [May 2,2009 3:07am - BobNOMAAMRooney ""] A private enterprise has the right to fire anyone in its employ if that person's conduct harms their business. Severin's "right to free speech" ends as soon as advertisers threaten to pull ads on WTKK. |
| ___________________________________ [May 2,2009 3:23am - RichHorror ""] It's all horseshit. Regardless of what you think of Jay, he was clearly hired for his incendiary speech. He was only doing what he got hired for. Fuck everyone. |

What's that word again? LEGAL. People in this country ILLEGALLY are criminals and aliens hence his coining the phrase CRIMALIENS. It's just a clever shtick that he enjoys using. LIBERALS are supposed to equal FREEDOM OF SPEECH. aren't they?" So let me ask you this, how do you think one becomes legal? Do you think you can just apply, wait, then get in? Or do you think all you have to do is marry an American? If not, how do you think someone comes in legally? If you don't have a relative here, and aren't a student, you have basically no chance whatsoever of being accepted. And i don't know about you, but if i were born in a third world country, and my options were to live in poverty and not be able to support myself or my family, or go to another country that has more resources, jobs, and opportunities than would EVER be available to me..i think i would try to get accepted legally into that country.... only to realize that getting INTO that country without close relatives already being citizens is near impossible, and if I did get accepted, I'd have to wait 5-10years (still very rare)to actually move there, i am pretty sure i would take a chance and try to sneak in. My reasoning would probably go something like this... Why shouldn't i have the chance to work hard and actually support myself and the ones i love? Because i wasn't born in the country? Wait a minute, i thought the US was started entirely by immigrants? Well, besides the Native Americans that the "immigrants" slaughtered to near genocide, but that's off the topic. Because i wouldn't want to slaughter anyone, i just want a chance to work hard, to pay my taxes.. ya know, have something that resembles a normal life.. Complain all you want about immigrants taking jobs from "Real Americans" But i still haven't met a single American who was upset because his job cleaning dishes was taken by immigrants. Sure maybe people are angry with immigrants for working for less money than is the norm for a given profession (almost always labor, it's probably pretty hard to get an office job without papers.) but again, anyone could do that, you could go out and work for less than an immigrant and take all their work, but you wouldn't want to because you would feel "cheated". Because your an American and you should be paid more than a wetback... or if you don't feel that way, why should you have the right to the job and they don't? Let's look at a similar situation. Cars used to be put together by people. Actual people putting all the parts together, but then one day people designed machines to do it cheaper.. and all those people lost their jobs. We didn't try to make the assembly machines illegal because they "Hurt the American worker". That's just part of the fun of capitalism. Your job CAN suddenly be worth less, for a million reasons, and i bet you don't complain when companies compete for your money by lowering prices, why should it bother you when your being competed with? It's not your right to have a job, and getting mad because someone wants to do your job cheaper than you is plain ol stupid. Go to school, do something that pays better, or deal with it and make less money. |

| ________________________________ [May 2,2009 9:51am - Martins ""] I personally know an illegal immigrant and I live with a bunch of legal ones (my parents/grandparents). The illegal guy I know "runs" his own painting/flooring/tile/bathroom/blahblahwhatever "company" and goes around charging EXORBITANT amounts of money for his work. Turns out you can get it done for less by Americans. I don't really know what the point is here but, come on guy? $1400 to paint a few walls? ouchdrummer%20nli said:It's not your right to have a job lol wut? |
