Conservative WTKK radio host Jay Severin was suspended indefinitely today after making offensive remarks about illegal aliens and the swine flu, sources tell the Herald.
Severin was shocked to learn about the suspension, the sources said, as the station had been using those same remarks in on-air promos.
Heidi Raphael, a spokeswoman for station owner Greater Media, confirmed Severin’s suspension saying the station would have no further comment.

Spanish-language daily newspaper El Diario la Prensa in New York City, reported earlier this week that Severin was using the flu to attack Mexicans and immigrants.
“For Severin, Mexicans are ‘criminaliens’ and primitives who export venereal diseases to the United States,” the paper reported. “The shock jock referred to the strain of flu as ‘swine-aka-Janet Napolitano flu.’ ”
“That’s not the end of Severin’s anti-immigrant rants. Immigrants are leeches and their children, he warns, don’t speak English, will retard schools, add to crime and spread disease. Amid all of this, Severin has the audacity to state, ‘I don’t mean to hype the story,’ ” the paper said.

He didn't say anything here that isn't already true.
That should have been done years ago, close the border when given an opportunity, too little, too late.
Plus will ignore the PC nonsense going on.
That’s New England for you...
Look at the quotation marks here...

I’ll bet dollars to donuts he never used the word “immigrants”. Bet he said “Illegals”.
Well, somewhat of a difference.
If you work in a company that uses offshore contractors, you’d be tempted to call it the H1B/N1 virus, too.
Severin...conservative? ROTFLMAO!!!
It’s not the Mexican Flu it’s the “Piggy Pox” ...
Napolitano Flu. LMAO
Two birds with one stone , he calls Napolitano a pig and he blames he for not closing the borders in one fell swoop.
He wont be too popular with the liberals.
You got that right.
Imagine dealing with a potential emergency involving people that don’t have a clue what you are saying. You get on the phone to someone who can interpret and the phone gets passed back and forth while time is a wasting. After things get worked out, the very people you are trying to help say through an interpreter that you should learn how to speak Spanish. Been there and done that, and I can say it really sucks.
I don’t live by the border. I live in the heartland of the USA. Maybe I missed the mandatory Spanish speaking requirement. What the heck have we become? It’s only a matter of time before someone gets sued because they responded to a situation and couldn’t communicate in Spanish or whatever language.
“Maybe I missed the mandatory Spanish speaking requirement. What the heck have we become?”
Very easy solution to this life threatening problem: LEARN ENGLISH.
Can’t find where he was wrong! Am I missing something here?
The priorities of political correctness trump the truth, public health and national security, and the more harm it does, the louder and more shrill its supporters become. We live at a time when many believe that the sheer force of a political dogma can reshape and manipulate reality, even to the point of defying the laws of physics and nature. The Left is enthusiasticly propelling mankind toward a the Dark Ages II by turning wishful thinking on steroids into a national religion.
OK,so break down this statement.A good percentage,most likely the large majority,of Mexicans living in this country have committed at least one crime and many have committed a second (identity theft).And many of these illegal aliens carry various diseases to our shores...VD,TB,swine flu,insects in the brain (there was such a case publicized recently).And as for "primitives"...compared to us most of them are.
So it sounds like he's right on target.
