Ex Klansman Democrat Robert Byrd makes racist comments and keeps his job.
Republican Trent Lott forced to resign.
Blacks and Hispanics are "too busy eating watermelons and tacos" to learn how to read and write." -- Mike Wallace, CBS News, a liberal that kept his job....
...so did Dan Rather after he said "but he (Obama) couldn't sell watermelons if you gave him state troopers to flag down the traffic."
Imagine if Republicans said these things:
“The country is ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama..a light-skinned African American with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one” — Democrat Senator Harry Reid
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African American [barack Obama] who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice looking guy." – Democrat Senator Joseph Biden Jr., (D., Del.), 2006-07
"Jews — that's J-E-W-S." -- Democratic State Representative Bill McKinney on why his daughter Cynthia lost in 2002
"A few years ago he (Obama) would be getting coffee for us" -- Democrat President Bill Clinton
".....African-Americans watch the same news at night that ordinary Americans do. " – Democrat President Bill Clinton on Black Entertainment Television, November 2, 1994
"You fucking Jew bastard"- Hillary
The double standards are epic.

I don't know if he dropped the n word, but i saw "animal", "savage", etc.
Racism aside, he went on a Twitter rampage and came off as a giant douche (we're "lucky" he didn't use his gun... Fuck off). Sirius doesn't want that associated with their brand
Cumia got fired because Sirius was pressured.
It's amusing how you keep avoiding the central issue. Set aside your babble about Sirius' interests or Cumias character for a moment.
What is your opinion of todays overzealous leftwingnut PC police? Your silence could only mean that you approve of it.

I'm sorry I don't see a liberal conspiracy every I look. I'm sorry I don't equate everything bad to the leftist, Nazi communists and Obama
Yes, there is a group that gets offended easily in America and is looking for things to be offended about. No, they aren't just liberals. Yes, of course Sirius was pressured. I don't think the pressure was unwarranted. Again, they have every right to protect their brand.
-
I don't suppose you can give me a list of conservative groups who are protected from being offended?
Anyway yes sirius can protect their bread however I think it may backfire, and I hope it does. Remember sirius makes a great deal of profit by bringing in people like hour and Opie and Anthony Dr Laura Don Imus who have been ostracized from the airwaves because of liberal hypersensitivity.
And now they're offended? Aww poor babies.
Knowing how controversy and radio work I would not be surprised if this was a ploy to boost ratings anyway.

woodpecker translation:
"I ignore everything that doesn't fit my sissy agenda, and
I only look at what I want to, so I can spout off stupid opinions,
and pretend I know what I'm talking about, when I really don't
have a freaking clue."

The guy was attacked, seemingly unprovoked (from his side of things only, of course). That's pretty sad, if you're going to start wailing on someone for accidentally catching you in the background of a picture. The guy didn't fight back because he knows not to hit a woman. And then a bunch of guys come out to 'defend' her? That's messed up.
He plays that right, and he's the victim. But then he goes on the offensive, and because he called them black, people immediately assume he's being racist when calling them animals and savages. Perhaps he's not, but you've got to expect that backlash.
However, ask yourself, why did he have to specify that she was black? Is he trying to help the police by narrowing it down to millions of people in america? Or is it more "got attacked, and she was black, surprise surprise, those people are savages?" I suspect that, even though he could have a (flimsy) defence in a legal case, the sentiment was there.
Either way, he seems like a bit of an idiot, and she seems like a bitch.

old horse shit. If I were taking your picture on the street and you flew into a rage started screaming came over and clocked me for it and I called you a fucking savage a fucking animal... Come on.I don't know if he dropped the n word, but i saw "animal", "savage", etc.
Racism aside, he went on a Twitter rampage and came off as a giant douche (we're "lucky" he didn't use his gun... Fuck off). Sirius doesn't want that associated with their brand
I figure if you don't want to be a called a savage or an animal act like a human being. Problem solved.

Right, and I agree. That bitch is definitely at fault too. She attacked him. But, she doesn't have a public radio show. If she did, she'd be facing repercussions as well.
Again, the entirety of the twitter posts came off as a little bit racist to me. Either way, it is certain that he came off as a douchebag and a jackass. Which are also things Sirius wouldn't want to be associated with.

Thats why they pay Howard Stern such a small salary.....

1) I don't give a fuck what you think
2) You and our other super conservative friends are hardly the majority

Did you read his entire rant? Its hardly the same thing. I completely understand why Sirius did it.

actually, & I hope this isn't doubled since the phone is acting up, I really hope it backfires on Sirius XM. The reason being is it they've raked in plenty of money hiring guys like Howard Stern, dr. Laura, Don Imus who have been ostracized from regular Airwaves because they were offending the hypersensitive left. Now their feelings are hurt? Please. Also if you think it goes both ways could you give me a list of conservative groups who have been offended and the offenders have been punished?
I wouldn't bet against this being a publicity stunt anyway...

Well, I don't have a back log of material ready to go against any politic group (unlike some on here). I also don't have a "favorites bar" of sites ready to help (again, unlike some).
I would start my google search with something along the lines of "War on Christmas" and go from there.
I'm not sure why that matters though or why people here want to make this left vs right. What's the point? To show that the conservatives take offense to less things? That's probably based on the demo. But again, that's not the point.
The guy said stupid shit and now he's fired. The majority of the uproar may have been from liberals, so what? I don't think it is out of line at all here.

Sounds like you just blew smoke into your own beak, woodpecker.

It's not public, it's a subscription service.
People like you are part of the apology culture, it's weak minded and hypocritical.

Whatever, he has an audience and represents Sirius. If she had the same, she'd be disciplined as well.
"Apology culture?" I'm sorry

That's why I asked you if there are any conservative groups that received help in the form of punishing liberal offenders.
I'd say that list would be hard to find. Even in a war on Christ search.

I think part of the problem as well is people thinking freedom of speech means you're free to be a complete asshole without any repercussions.
If I come up to you in the street and call you a cunt, I'm expressing my freedom of speech. You punching me in the mouth is the repercussions. If I stand outside your house and tell you you should go home, that immigrants are ruining the country (go far enough back we're all immigrants somehow), people will call that freedom of speech. But really it's me being an ignorant douche.
So yes, he can say what he wants - but he shouldn't be surprised if people take offence and his employer doesn't take too kindly to it.
I'd never heard of the guy before this, but I understand he hosts a show with Oprah? Guessing that wouldn't go down too well with her either.
-
So I need to find a conservative group that was offended by something some other groups didn't find offensive?
Again I would just start with Christianity.
But again, I'm not sure why this has to be a left vs right thing. I don't care that more of the offended were liberals and more of the supporters are conservatives (I'm assuming. If anything thus says something about the two groups). The guy said dumb shit and was fired. Don't go on twitter tirades.
