A radio host canned for calling candidate a 'fat lesbian' but if he call her a lying Democrat or a lying Republican he would have been called a political analyst. What the hell happenned to free speech in this country? This radio host just like anyone else has the right to say what is on his mind as long as it is not to incite a riot insurrection or murder.

It is an outrage that people can no longer express an oppinion that does not hurt anyone.

The stinking filthy PC crowd has stangled the freeedom out of this country!!!!!

The other side of free speech is that one must face the (nongovernmental) consequences of their speech.

He'd been warned previously that if he did something like this again, he'd be fired. He shouldn't have been surprised that he was.

Radio stations have the right to decide what their employees can say on the air.

He said it was then that he told listeners he wished someone would "tell the fat lesbian to shut up."

Quote:

DePetro had also been reprimanded by station management in July for using a slur often aimed at homosexuals in reference to Matt Amorello, the former chairman of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority.

They were probably looking for a reason to fire him. Lesbian is not a slur.

"Big, fat? I guess that's supposed to be his way of saying he doesn't like somebody," she said.

Oooorr, a way of saying she's fat. What? She doesn't know she's fat?

I philosophically agree that an enterprise has the right to establish and enforce a code of discipline my arguement is with the PC crowd who establishes sacred cows and it's selected sacred cows.

Right Lesbian is a Lifestyle according to the PC crowd.

Maybe her friends never told her.

Wasn't she the one responsible for that big contruction fiasco in Boston called the " BIG DIG" ?

ooops I guess I can't say big either or I will be accused of being mean to fat Lesbians !!!

Are fat, ugly, lesbians ALWAYS liberals?

If there was such a thing as a conservative fat ugly lesbian, would it be OK/PC to call her a fat lesbian?

I love to rebel against PC crap. I firmly believe that anyone who's fatter and uglier than me should probably try not to go out in public, much less run for public office.

Scratch that last. She makes me feel like Angelina.
