"I was aiming that directly at a black person that is letting himself (and herself) be used by an administration that has been extremely hostile to minorities,"


Is there any way we can ask for proof of this "hostility"?

[lindor]

An illustration in America's Double Standards.

John Sylvester. Never heard of him.

[BenLurkin]

Extremely hostile to minorities? There were three on his first term cabinet alone -- plus Dr. Rice at NSA.

Suppose what he really means is "hostile" to socialism? Hmmm . . ?

[Dark Knight]

Anybody who knows me knows I'm not a racist.<<

Mighty white of you.

So it's OK to be a racially derogatory if the target of derision disagrees with you politically.

The left just keeps on digging.

[Spok]

Double standard alert-more hate and bigotry from the nonjudgmental, inclusive, diverse and tolerant Left.

I spoke with Midwest Family Broadcast owner Tom Walker this morning. He was unapologetic, said they had listener support in Sly's area, and was not concerned that the FCC was hearing complaints on Sly's statements.

Unbelievable. How do these stations keep their licenses when they do not give a rip what their program directors do or say?

[EternalHope]

His kind of talk has no place in civilized discourse.

Easy call: Fire him.

[odoso]

If you tell a lie long enough, people will eventually believe it... Keep it up Sly, you've got a longgggggggggg way to go! Do you really think African Americans are that stupid.

RACISM ON THE AIR!

LET ME AT HIM! Tell me how to email the station manager. Who is this guy to belittle a highly educated adult woman by comparing her to the fat lady on the syrup bottle?! WHO IS THIS GUY???? Did he compare idiot Madeline Albright to Aunt Jemima? Or does he only reserve demeaning comments for African-Americans?!

[new cruelty]

sly sounds like a frickin babbling racist. he is obviously jealous over the success enjoyed by Ms. Rice and Mr. Powell.

[Izzy Dunne]

bought her way into the White House with obedience to President Bush.

Well, duh. you don't get to work for the President without agreeing to abide by his decisions. Being disobedient is not a good career move in that situation.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

I don't get it. The only racists, it seems, are on the left. Aren't they the folks who are so compassionate about the plight of minorities? The left is the only faction holding back minorities from succeeding. Success by any minority is deemed traitorous to the cause.

[nmh]

A brazen bigoted racist determine to keep minorities DOWN and give them NO credit when they rise UP.

[chiefqc]

Where are the dumb-o-crats, jesse jackson, rev. al, the black leaders, etc.?

Oh wait, she is not a dumb-o-crat, that's the answer.

[new cruelty]

Sylvester, who is also program director, said he would not take himself off the air nor would station owners, the Mid- West Family Broadcast Group. General Manager Tom Walker did not return phone calls Thursday.

Sounds like a they need a little motivation from their advertisers. Enough people call the local and national advertisers and General Manager Tom Walker will be more than happy to yank this moron off the air.

[kellynla]

and Yankees would have us believe that all the racists are down South...
and folks in Wisconsin allow this POS to remain on the air for years?
where's the outrage in WI?

I wonder how FCC Chairman Michael Powell feels about this clown calling his father an "uncle tom?"...
