Now this thread can be moved to WGAS. :)

:jj:

He takes credit for the Imus firing, now he thinks he can get these guys fired too?

Fuck him!

Fuck that, I'm calling for Al Sharpton's firing.

Apparently Sharpton is now the King of All Blacks. He has appointed himself as the spokesperson for all black people.

Thats a tough choice in who to side with

thumbs up for Sharpton!

Fuck that, I'm calling for Al Sharpton's firing.

From what, Nigga aints gots no job

Why am I not suprised? I wanna see a steel cage match..... Rev. Al vs. Jesse.... the winner is thee official spokesman for the blaeks ;)

I doubt it will happen. Al Sharpton is an attention whore. Nobody knows who O&A are so Al will not get the attention he needs.

As fucked up as Sharpton is, this is worth watching. Getting Imus tossed was a major coup for Big Al, but that was from terrestrial radio. Now he may go after a satellite broadcast which everyone has thought is hands off. Sirius should keep an eye on this because I am sure there are plenty of folks out there who would love to take a shot at Stern.

Stay aways from dissin' da sistas!!

I will have to side with Freedom of Speech.

Talk about ULTRA PC

Apparently Sharpton is now the King of All Blacks. He has appointed himself as the spokesperson for all black people.

I wonder if Al has Moen faucets :bigthink:

Thats a tough choice in who to side with

Maybe for you, but for me it's a no-brainer. Al Sharpton might be a fucked up piece of shit, but he's entertaining in moderations. And those moderations is when he is burying Imus and Opie and Anthony. This is going to be DAMN good! :D

Its too bad that opie and anthony aren't in trouble for bashing mormons... then what would sharpton do?

al sharpton can go eat a jew dick. fuck him......i cant support AL on this one. He's a fucking pub goat and deserves to die of cancer soon.

So you're telling him to go eat Howard's dick? Nice. I'm going to enjoy watching Al Sharpton rip Opie and Anthony apart.

Well, it looks like Sharpton already has the ball rolling and wants to meet with XM management.
Personally, I could care less about opie and anthony, but I hope that the people at XM either refuse to meet with him or send him a letter telling him that his opinion is appreciated and that this is not a question of decency over the public airwaves. Where they may feel pressue is the fact that the merger is being reviewed and the question of content (stupidly) was brought up at the hearings. It should be interesting to see how XM responds, but I don't think they should entertain this Sharpton nonsense - XM's subscribers should dictate what is acceptable, not a guy with a bullhorn who probably doesn't have an XM subscription in the first place.


Left off the dial: Shock jocks dropped over Asian slurs


NEW YORK -- One month after the firing of radio host Don Imus, a pair of suspended New York shock jocks have been permanently pulled from the air by CBS Radio for a prank phone call rife with offensive Asian stereotypes.

"The Dog House with JV and Elvis," hosted by Jeff Vandergrift and Dan Lay, "will no longer be broadcast," CBS Radio spokeswoman Karen Mateo said Saturday. CBS Radio dismissed broadcasting hall of famer Imus in April for his racist and sexist remarks about the Rutgers women's basketball team.

The cancellation of the show, nearly three weeks after the show hosts were suspended, was another indication of the increased scrutiny on radio hosts and the heightened management sensitivity to complaints in the wake of the Imus firing.

"This is a victory not only for the Asian-American community, but for all communities who find themselves constant targets of racist and sexist programming," said Jeanette Wang, an executive with the Organization of Chinese Americans.

Mateo declined any further comment on the "JV and Elvis" show, which had aired on WFNY-FM immediately after the shock jock pairing of Opie and Anthony.

Gregg "Opie" Hughes and Anthony Cumia return to the station's airwaves Monday after issuing their own apology for a segment on their satellite radio program where they laughed as a homeless man fantasized about raping Condoleezza Rice and Laura Bush.

Vandergrift and Lay made their comments one day after Imus' April 4 meltdown on his nationally syndicated program. The pair broadcast a call to a Chinese restaurant; the caller, in an exaggerated accent, placed an order for "shrimp flied lice," claimed he was a student of kung fu, and compared menu items to employees' body parts.

The initial airing of the call went unnoticed, but a re-airing of the segment after Imus's firing prompted an outcry from Asian-American groups. Vandergrift and Lay were initially suspended without pay, but Asian-Americans quickly demanded the same penalty applied to the much higher-profile Imus.

Mateo would not comment on the status of the DJs' contracts or whether they were still on the CBS payroll. Imus plans a $120 million breach of contract suit against CBS Radio.

As word spread about the fate of JV and Elvis, more than 100 people turned out for a Union Square rally to offer support for those two, Imus and other radio personalities under fire.

"It's not about whether you like what you heard or not," said Debbie Wolf of Far Hills, N.J., president of People Against Censorship. "I find censorship to be far more offensive than anything that was said."

The Rev. Al Sharpton, who played a major role in Imus' ouster, said Saturday that he wanted to meet with Hughes and Cumia's bosses at XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc. over the rape comments on their show.

"My personal feeling is they should have already been fired," said Sharpton, who one night earlier had debated Imus producer Bernard McGuirk on the Fox News Channel. McGuirk was also fired from WFAN-AM.

McGuirk called Sharpton a "race-baiter" looking for attention when he led the campaign to fire Imus. Sharpton replied that Imus and McGuirk got what they deserved for making racist, sexist comments on the air.

listen i think greg and tony will be let go by xm because of
what went on their show. they were talking about govenment
people while govt.people are overseeing the merger. like imus
sharpton will think he won when he had nothing to do with it.
imus wasn't let go by msnbc because of jessie or al , he was
let go because they couldn't stand those fuckers on the imus show.

If XM/Sirius are either told or feel that this whole thing would be the backbreaker for the merger, then I can see the suits giving them the boot. Otherwise, I don't see it happening.

Ultimately, Sharpton was the reason for Imus's firing, but he was the leader of the band of special interest groups that put the pressure on. Remember that at first Imus was put on suspension for two weeks - what led to his firing with MSNBC is a good question because that was never really made clear, but he was booted from CBS radio because the sponsors bailed. Technically it wasn't Sharpton himself but rather a business decision based on loss of revenue (i.e. the sponsors).

It will be interesting to see how this plays out because if these two are fired from XM then it becomes an issue that Howard will have to worry about. Again, I seriously doubt XM will fire them, but the merger is in play.

I hate Al Sharpton with a passion, but damn this is going to fun watching him rip Opie and Anthony to shreds! As Howard would say "This will make for good radio"! Oh, and the self-destruction continues! CBS is a hellhole now! Their top "talent" is doing stupid crap that is costing them sponsors and bad publicity. They're getting multi-million dollar lawsuits filed against them, and now all of their talent is being exposed as racist and sexist and now the heads of the government are pissed off at them. So good! :D Howard must be laughing his ass off right now! ;)

there would be an irony in Rev. Al call for the firing of O&A based on a stunt discussing the sexual assault of the queen of all uncle (aunt?) toms ....

I call for their firing only when:
1)Al sharpton apologizes to Steven Pagones on national tv for the Tawana Brawley scandal
2)Attends a cops funeral (white or black)
3)Appears onhowards show and gets a pudding pop jackhammer from Sal and Richard.

Fuck this race baiting white hating could not give a shit about cops who die fucknut. I was sickened by Imus's firing and I hate Imus. No matter how much you hate them for being clones of Howard, its radio, you fucking morons.

Al sharpton is the lowest form of scum on this earth. He is a bottom feeding scum sucking lowlife pig.

And Anthony Cumia isn't a racist piece of shit? He called Howard Stern and Jackie Robinson niggers. You felt bad for Imus being fired? The guy is a racist piece of shit! Robin even said he said racist crap to her! Howard and others said that. And you were sickened by his firing? And you would be sickened that racist shit like Opie and Anthony would be fired? I don't give a shit whether it's radio how do you justify hating Sharpton but being sickened that racist shit like Opie and Anthony and Imus get suspended or fired? Go read Opie and Anthony's board if it ever comes back up. It is completely controlled by Opie and Anthony and it's the most racist piece of garbage this side of the KKK. Everyone on that board hates anyone who isn't white. And Anthony Cumia is one of the leaders of that charge ripping on black people and jewish people. I hope Sharpton buries Opie and Anthony. It'll be funny as hell. You claim it's just radio, was it just radio when Opie and Anthony were trashing Howard's daughter and his family? I think Opie and Anthony and Imus are bottom feeding scum sucking lowlife pigs, what do you think about that?

opie and anthony (racist or not as you say) are not the self promoted king of all black people or white people pr nazi supremacists. What they do is as racist as Gilbert and Artie during the news. Its a joke

Great article about this asshole
The race-baiter in the campaign
By Jeff Jacoby | November 9, 2003

LAST WEEK, the Democratic candidates forced Howard Dean to furl the Confederate flag. Now perhaps they'll take on the real race-baiter in their midst: Al Sharpton.

Whatever sins Dean may have committed in his 54 years, he has a long way to go before he can touch Sharpton's repulsive history of racial demagoguery. For instance, did Dean ever go out of his way to share a stage with the likes of Khalid Muhammad -- a gay-bashing, Jew-hating, anti-Catholic racist -- or praise him as "an articulate and courageous brother?" Of course not. But Sharpton did.

Nor did Dean -- or any other candidate -- ever go on the radio to demand that a "white interloper" -- the owner of a Harlem clothing store -- be forced out of business, or whip up a racial protest that ended with seven people dead in a horrific arson attack. But Sharpton did.

And none of the candidates ever led a vitriolic campaign to vilify the young white woman raped and viciously beaten in the Central Park "wilding" case in 1989 -- a campaign in which demonstrators chanted her name in public when most of the media refused to print it and accused her boyfriend of being the real assailant. But Sharpton did.

The continuing scandal of the 2004 presidential campaign is the reluctance of virtually the entire political establishment -- the candidates, their campaigns, and the media -- to say anything about Sharpton's noxious history. To this day, President Bush gets criticized for his February 2000 visit to Bob Jones University, which at the time banned interracial dating. Dean was pilloried for saying that he wanted "to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks." In the recent Mississippi governor's race, Republican Haley Barbour was blasted for allowing his picture to appear on the home page of the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens.

But Sharpton, whose resume is more repugnant than all of them combined, draws nary a rebuke.

It is as if David Duke were running for president and the leading figures in politics and the press decided not to make an issue of the fact that he had been an Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Is it even remotely conceivable that Duke would be regarded as just another candidate, let alone a candidate qualified to criticize the racial failings of others? Yet there was Sharpton at the CNN debate in Boston last week, lecturing Dean on "brotherhood" and quoting Martin Luther King.

"You're not a bigot," he said, "but you appear to be too arrogant to say `I'm wrong.' " This from the slanderer who to this day refuses to apologize for his role in the contemptible Tawana Brawley hoax, and for his poisonous libel of an innocent man.


That man was Steven Pagones. In 1988, he was an assistant district attorney in the upstate New York county where Brawley claimed she had been abducted. Her story -- that six white men had raped her over four days -- was vivid, shocking, and, it turned out, entirely fictitious. But Sharpton swore it was true, and vehemently accused Pagones of being one of the rapists.

"If we're lying, sue us," he taunted, "so we can go into court with you and prove you did it."

The gutsy Pagones did just that. He sued Sharpton (and two of his associates) for defamation. In 1998 he was completely vindicated; the jury awarded $345,000 in damages.

But Sharpton, who rebukes Dean for being "too arrogant to say `I'm wrong,' " has never asked Pagones's pardon for his repellent slander. He is unrepentant about having incited the Brawley hoax. Indeed, he doesn't admit that it was a hoax. When Tim Russert urged him on "Meet the Press" to apologize for his role in the ugly affair, Sharpton replied: "I think all of us need to take women's claims more seriously." Russert pressed him a few times, finally asking again: "No apology for Tawana Brawley?" Replied Sharpton: "No apology for standing up for civil rights."

Note well that last. If Sharpton can get away with shielding even his most irresponsible statements behind the cloak of "civil rights," then no Democrat will be able to criticize him -- on anything -- without risking ending up on the wrong side of the party's most freighted issue. By running for president, Peter Beinart perceptively noted in The New Republic, Sharpton is effectively asking the Democratic Party to bless the proposition that civil rights is whatever he says it is.

The other Democratic candidates should be deeply wary of the Sharpton trap. Instead they are walking into it. They treat him as a legitimate presidential aspirant. They never mention, let alone condemn, his odious record. At times they even follow his lead, as they did in the Boston debate, when Sharpton led the attack on Dean.

There should be no room in American politics for a race-baiting charlatan of any color. Honorable Democrats ought to be able to look Sharpton in the eye and say so. Their failure to do so is a moral and political disgrace.

It's going to be great fun watching Al destroy Opie and Anthony! And it's not what I say, did you read the threads in this forum? Anthony called Howard a nigger. And read the Wackbag forums, it's run by Opie and Anthony (mostly Anthony) and that board is racist trash. It'll be fun watching one asshole destroy another asshole! LOL! YAl Sharpton is racist trash to, but who gives a shit I want to see Opie and Anthony burn. And burn they will! Bye, bye 0.0!

By the way, go read the thread Anthony made about Howard. Someone said that he should be thankful to Howard since he paved the way for radio the same way Jackie Robinson paved the way for people of color in baseball. Anthony's response?

"So you're saying Stern's a nigger?"

So that is just Opie and Anthony joking around huh?

Here is the thread:

i do have to stand up for tony here i think that day he was angry.
it was at a time where their 3rd ratings book came out and they were on
par with DLR and still couldn't beet imus in the ratings. also that day
tonys idol was talking on the radio about the nice time he had down
in florida and going to bubba the love sponge wedding.

LOL! So true! It's funny, if you look at Anthony he looks like he couldn't be bothered to be with Greg/Opie. Every time they take a picture he looks disgusted. He would kill to be part of Howard's crew.

i don't know guys i don't think you should be jumping on the fire o&a bandwagon. only reason why i say that is because they made those comments on their satellite radio show and not the fm show. if they had said it on the fm show then i would be on that bandwagon day 1. i don't want them to get fired because then the people that got them fired will come after howard. last thing we need is sirius telling howard to censor himself tilll the merger goes through.

1.)They're on both FM and Satellite so they're going to get hammered. They have already lost to major sponsors on FM radio doing this stunt, that's why they're a in trouble. 2.)Just because it's satellite radio doesn't give you free reigns to threaten to rape a high ranking government official, or bring someone else on your show and then egg them on about it. Those people that are going to rake O&A over the coals aren't going to come after Howard because Howard isn't going to be stupid enough to rave about possibly raping a high ranking official.

hey fuckheads, it is only time before they come after Howard.

hey fuckheads, it is only time before they come after Howard.

And Howard will be much better defended by Sirius.

3)Appears onhowards show and gets a pudding pop jackhammer from Sal and Richard.
I thought thats how he keeps his hair back, from left over pudding. :bananas:

Al Shapton to the rescue!!! Al Sharpton to the rescue!!!!!

I call for Al Sharpton to tell himself to STFU
