Jay Severin Suspension, Week 2 — What Now?

This whole sniffs of a preview for the fairness doctrine. I find the ACLU's position disingenuos, it is interesting to see them espousing free speech issues, of course unless it has to do with someone expressing matters of their faith. ie: pushing Military Chaplains to not be allowed to end prayers “in the name of Jesus”.

It will entertaining and discouraging I am sure to see how much free speech regarding matters of faith and conservative ideas that get lumped into “the language of hate”.

Hate will become the new buzz word, and of course noone likes Hate.

You know what I Hate? The fact that we have allowed the slaughter of 50,000,000 future Doctors, Lawyers, Home Health Aids, Teachers and Nurses and nobody finds that offensive.

Oh No, I mentioned the Abortion subject! I must be one of those extremists on the Homeland Security List!

It is a sad state of affairs…

People outside of the Latino community don't understand how angry we are. I never heard of this guy, but I can tell you that the radio station can expect very, very angry Latinos if they rehire this piece of racist arse.

It's amazing to me how anyone can defend a hate Severin- he was the employee of a private company-WTKK, and took to using VERY racist and homophobic terms in his daily right wing rants. The radio station is totally justified to fire him- if you don't belive that- then try using racist terms at YOUR job- don't be shocked if you get fired…
It's sad who the days of intelligent discourse from Conservatives is a thing of the past- there are no William Buckleys out there….Today, we have the likes of racists like Jay severin, Michael savage and Bill O'Reilley, whose entire schtick is spewing hate-

Severin-like Michael savage, used the illiegal immigration debate as an excuse to launch into full scale Latino bashing-

If Severin discussed his belief for tighter immigration, that would be one thing- but his constantly painting all Latinos as being animals and subhuman has proved Severin is just a racist- and serves NO valuable function on the radio.

I am a Latino immigrant and I don't find his comments hurtful. Jay sensationalizes his position on issues to highlight a wrong or present a different perspective on a key issue. No, not all Mexicans or for that matter all immigrants are bad. No, not all immigrants are in wellfare. This country was built by immigrants! Jay's radio talk show style points out the policies, practices, or decisions that need to be revisited by our elected officials to improve our country and the well-being of its citizens. Immigration practices, universal healthcare program, taxes are just some of the issues that get presented and discussed in Jay's show. I hope he's back on the air soon.

To be racist is to believe one is better based on race or to make policy based on race. You know like “affirmative action” or the “United Negro Colleague Fund” the things Obama supports. Jay believes none of these things. He speaks about the facts and some groups can’t handle it. That’s the problem. He has made it perfectly clear when he speaks of Mexicans in a derogatory way he is speaking of illegal Mexicans. He has also said the same things about illegal’s from Ireland, France, Spain, Italy and so on but let’s face it, most of problem illegal’s come from south of the border. You don’t see people being kidnapped at record numbers by Canadians. He is also not trying to divide the country. It is already divided. Don’t forget, Obama won 52 to 48 not exactly a landslide and his numbers a slipping.

Jay may say things in a way that some people don't want to hear it. But he absolutely tells the truth. I don't know of too many people who want to pay more taxes, to support other people who are here illegally, or are on welfare. And guess what, that is what we are all doing because of our government. I'm starting to feel like a minority in this country. What happened to giving to charities you want to give to, not the ones the government makes you give to. There is no more freedom in this country and soon we won't be proud to be an american.

BRING Jay Back on the AIR.

How is wanting people of any race to enter the country legally racist?? Jay rails against illegal immigrants entering the country. It just so happens that most of the criminals (and people entering the USA illegally are criminals under United States law) are Mexican. This is not speculation it is FACT. Close the boarders and stop the rampant influx of CRIMINALIENS into the country and Jay will have nothing to rail about. What has this country come to where one of the basic principles (freedom of speech) is being systematicly decimated. I dont care if Jay said everyone who is Irish is a drunk, or everyone who is Polish is stupid, etc etc…. it is the stations right to remove him from the air as a private company, but they well knew what they got with Jay and never had a probelm with it before now. It is the state that the country is coming to where even private companies like WTKK who make LOTS and LOTS of money with Jay as a host have to make decisions based on political opinion.

It makes me very sad to see what we are about to become.

Jay is
-”over the top” and
- disingenuous: he is married for over ten years, YET carries on like an eligible bachelor on air; to the point of flirting with wooing other celebrities(Esther Wu, et al) on his show……WHAT purpose does that dishonesty serve????
-He is just another “infotainment” creation;
- his latest growing vitriolic tirades may have something to do with his declining ratings……
-ALL in ALL a SAD state of affairs given his apparent brilliance and unique insights (at times)
- Turning into another Rush Limbaugh ain't going to “get it” Jay! (one Rush is enough)

Jay uses strong and derogatory language to characterize all illegal immigrants. Jay equates illegal immigrants to indigents who break into your house, camp in your living room, and eat your food.

Jay also uses especially strong language to denounce the murderous Mexican drug lords and their spillover into the US.

Jay speaks of this often enough that his regular listeners understand his use of the term “Mexican” to commonly mean “Illegal Immigrant Mexican.” His comments on the demographics of Mexico and the challenges of the Mexican government reflect cold and apolictical analysis. He speaks favorably of Latin family values. These discussions are all devoid of “hate.”

Jay “hates” the destruction of the American values self-reliance, limited government, and the rule-of-law. Illegal immigration is a threat to these values. His passion is clear, so his statements taken out of context of the broader discussion were misconstrued as “hate speech” against all Mexicans. Lesson learned! Jay needs to be more careful.

Jay is a right winger? He is a Bush-bashing, anti-war, NPR-listening, environmentalist! His appeal is his independence and lack of allegiance to any political party. He seeks information for all sources in his pursuit of truth, and he is a rare treat for his listeners because he educates as he examines evidence on all sides of an issue.

I miss his show, and I will tune in when he returns.

I hate spics too.

If you don't like what Jay Severin or anyone else has to say on the radio or television… change the channel. Maybe Jay or others should work for Sirius/ XM and let those who want to listen to him support/pay to listen to him. WTKK has lost many listeners because of this suspension.

Jay Severin tells the truth. Please put him back on the air. He is straight talking and the liberals of this country should smarten up and listen to him. Put him back on the air before I loose all faith in the freedom of speech that Americans are supposed to have!!

Severin can go to Boston Common tomorrow and say whatever he wants about criminaliens, mustachioed Mexican women, etc. But WTKK has no constitutional obligation to let Severin do it on their little piece of the airwaves.

I live in America and we do have freedom of speech. If you don't like what you hear change the station. I miss Jay terrible, and I hope he is on soon. He does tell the truth. He does have an opinion, like all of us. This time the truth was about someone that has power. This is to bad because it shows just what power can do for the masses. I really believe, things do come out in the wash. He really makes my day. I don't agree with him always, but that is what the world is about.

I think our constitution does protect a freedom of speech. But it doesn't protect anybody feelings – because it shouldn't.
If your feelings got hurt – it's your problem. Just switch the program.
I think, if we want Jay back we should start calling to any program on WTKK and demand Jay back. Just start calling to Michal Graham, Michele McPhee or Jim&Margery shows and tell them you want Jay back.

I feel Jay should be back on the air and should NOT have been disciplined in the first place. What ever happened to Amendment to the Constitution known as FREE SPEECH?

I feel a lot of his comments about illegal aliens, welfare, world wide politics, and English being the #1 language in the USA are right on the money. I have lived in a city all of my life.On a daily basis I see and can confirm much of what Jay states about illegals and welfare.

Not all immigrants are bad, and as long as they play by the rules then we should welcome them.
As an intelligent country we should be allowed to disagree with our current government and not be disciplined.

That's not nice (but I agree with you)

-GOD

Let the sponsors, consumers and listeners judge whether Jay Severin should be on the air. I believe he did go over the top in his recent comments, but firing him for stating his personal beliefs…please! If you don't like it…don't listen! I listen to him because I find him smart and entertaining ( evrn with his occasional offensive statements). The guy they have currently filling in is extremely generic and boring.

Jay is a very smart, CORRECT man. Most of what he says on his station is right. JAY FOR PRESIDENT. I know a lot of people that would vote for him.

By kicking Jay off of the air is just proving his point.. The double standard in this country sickens me!! You can hate, hate, hate all damn day as long as you are not a white male.. I was raised to be color blind, raised to never ever take ones ethnicitiy into account.. Something funny happened… I went to college and learned that I had it all wrong.. Race matters.. I can name a thousand scholarships and grants that I being a “straight white guy” I am not elligble to apply for.. Continue the fight Jay.. You have one loyal listener that will not let this facist tied of political correctness damper my spirits.. Dont worry Jay, after the left has taken us all out.. They will all have to get jobs to support the bastard factory..

keep up the fight

Please people if you dont like Jay then change the station. listen to NPR or some other station. I am tired of these special intereste groups mainly minorities like cair and laraza complaining and getting their way. How about the rest of us we have the common sense to change the channel. I hear a ton of crap comming from the people on cnn, msnbc, npr and others. Maybe they just cant take the criticisim because it is true. Look at the state of california and its financial troubles. The illegal aliens are a huge drain on the state. How about the city of phoenix arizona now the #2 place in the world to get kidnapped. Who is doing the kidnapping you ask well it is illegal aliens. I am tired of all the p.c. police out there calling someone who says something that is true a raceist. If not wanting the illegals to come to this country and live off the generosity of this country and taking the tax dollars of hard working legal people of this country makes me a raceist well then that is just what I must be. Jay is right about the illegals bringing the swine flu into this country. Think about it where was the flu rampant before it hit here. Mexico! I remember watching a news show about the diseases that are now reapearing in this country. Some of them havent been seen in years. Like T.B and polio. If you are going to want to have people suspended because they speak the truth well that makes you an idiot

Jay uses hyperbole to be funny about a serious issue. Anyone with in IQ over 70 would understand this. If I stated that “the only good thing coming out of Iraq is oil”, or ” the only good thing out of Mexico is tequila”, does anyone belive I am stating truth 100 per cent?.. I am trying to be funny while calling those states a third world country. O,but I guess saying they are a third world contry is ok. I find my credit card company asking me to press two for espanol more offensive, but I'm not going to protest and cry in my cup of tea. The real crime is not mexicans coming across our border illegally, but that our own government is allowing them to. THAT is where all hate should be directed.

ha ha , fuck the liberals! Jay is back!!!!!!!!
