Must not Mock Liberals in Wisconsin

Posted on May 28, 2007

Jessica McBride, a Wisconsin radio host, was taken off the air for portraying a notable local liberal commentator as squawking like a chicken:

“What did McBride do that was so awful? She pretended to interview liberal Journal Sentinel columnist Eugene Kane by asking him a number of questions he’d have trouble answering. She played the sound of a chicken clucking when it came time for the absent Kane to speak. One of the “questions” dealt with the murder of a little girl in a drive-by shooting. The playing of the “clucking” sound was the horrid “offense” that got McBride sacked.

Give me a break. The bit wasn’t very funny (and is actually a ripoff of something I did years ago) but it’s hardly offensive. McBride was making fun of the refusal of urban liberals to acknowledge the severity of the crime problem. She wasn’t mocking the little girl.”

Note that the little girl referred to was a bystander victim of a wild shoot-out and that Kane had called the shooters “knuckleheads” — a very mild term for vicious thugs. He deserved to be mocked.

    So the liberals dont belive in the U.S. Constitution unless it gives them the right to run naked through the neighborhood or calling our G.Is child killers. Frankly she should sue the jerks who got her removed this is a free country were not a a dictatorship yet

    Huh? She was fired by employer because her employer didn’t like her “on the clock” behavior. This happens thousands of times each day. That’s life in a capitalist society.
