Severin suspended for comments about Mexican immigrants

Jay Severin, the fiery right wing talk show host on Boston's WTKK-FM radio station, was suspended yesterday after calling Mexican immigrants "criminaliens," "primitives," "leeches," and exporters of "women with mustaches and VD," among other incendiary comments.

Heidi Raphael, a spokeswoman for the station, said Severin had been suspended indefinitely from his afternoon drive-time show. She declined to say which of his comments - made since an outbreak of swine flu was linked to Mexico in recent days - sparked the suspension.

Never mind the accuracy of his remarks...they weren’t anti-Mexican, they were anti illegal immigrant.

I think we’re clearly heading for the Fairness Doctrine — full reign given to Left-wing haters like Perez Hilton, restrictions placed on Conservative voices.

Hey, not all of the women have mustaches. Other than that he is closer than many on the left feel comfortable with. Swine Flu, just infecting the people the domestic flu won’t.

Truth?

Using such incediary language againt immigrants, not illegal immigrants, but immigrants leeches is so useless. Did it move any cause forward?

What’s he trying to do? Reconstitute the “Know Nothing Party”?

Too bad. He can be insightful. He should know the lay of the land better.

Severin has been using the term “criminaliens” for several years now. This reason for suspension sounds like a distraction to me.

The other night I heard him say that the business of Don Imus threatening to shoot him if he did not get off of the stage (St. Patricks Day broadcast from Boston) was unsettled business, and that we would be hearing about that soon.

Severin has not been back on the air since.

It might if the Legal immigrants would stand up and fight against these leeches which are causing Americans to say what they really mean. Lets stop this PC BS.

If Severin wasa legal immigrant, his rant would have meant something. It was, unfortunately, just incendiary.

“My kids’ school is falling apart thanks to illegals.

I’ve been saying for years this criminal invasion would be heading to all states. Yet conservatives blindly kept electing officials like Jorge Bush.
