Bring Back Jay Severin!

Political Correctness (a form of accepted socialism in the United States) has reared its ugly head once again. Jay Severin, a radio talk show host on WTKK 96.9 (Boston), has been suspended indefinitely after comments he made recently.

The exact quote that landed him in trouble is unclear, however, during a radio broadcast he connected illegal Mexican immigrants to the swine flu. He called them "crimmigrants" or "crimaliens" and followed that up with comments that equated them to "primitives" and "exporters of mustached women with VD". Needless, to say this is a bit over the top for a person to state over live airways. However, he has the right to make this statements. In fact, WTKK, you pay him to be controversial and say these things so that you can maintain ratings.

I don't agree with Jay Severin 100% of the time, yet, I find what he has to say interesting. The funny part about this whole issue is that this is not the first time he has made these statements. WTKK all you have to do is go back a few days and almost every day in the past to hear him make these remarks. So, why is this such a big polemic right now? It is because of "Political Correctness"! God forbid we offend Mexicans during this period of time when there is the issue of the swine flu. Its almost as if certain groups looked for a reason to become offended all of a sudden and complain to get him off the air.

Seriously, if you are offended by what this man has to say, then you know what, TURN THE DIAL! If you don't like it then don't listen to it, but, don't take something away from those who care just because you don't like it. I think Penn and Teller said it best on their show BULLSHIT! (a great show I might add), "You have the right to be offended! You do not have the right to not be!"

So, WTKK 96.9 (Boston) don't bend over for a few fringe groups and BRING BACK JAY SEVERIN! If its an issue with his ratings then swap him with Michael Graham.
