- Pete Fanning of PeteRepublic is all over this. There’s a whole host of links there.

- Fred at RealDebateWisconsin reports Jr. took over Sr’s paid infomercial spot today (that’s right, Sr pays Jerrel Jones for his access). Why am I not surprised?

Likely bad news – Milwaukee’s black community loves the McGee/Jacksons. Just the most-recent example; “Jr.” (who may or may not be adopted; yet another McGee/Jackson controversy) handily survived the recall effort against him, which stemmed from his use of two Social Security numbers using both his real name and the McGee name. Jr. went on to advocate throwing bricks at speeders (evoking old memories of his father calling for both the sniping of white commuters and blocking the freeways with burning tires back in the late 1980s and early 1990s while he was alderman in Milwaukee).

For more reading (ableit incomplete because the McGee/Jackson family has done so much outrageous stuff over the decades), I recommend searching for McGee on Badger Blogger.

Charlie Sykes had subbed for Rush a few times before Rush switched to Mark Belling.

Double-standard once again?

Had Howard Stern been fired and taken off the air back then, it would have set a proper example of what is acceptable/non-acceptable conduct. Yes, we have free speech in this country. But some company with advertisers is paying these jerks to say the things they say.

If these companies and their advertisers condone their behavior, it is the responsibility of decent people to let these companies know that this stuff won’t be tolerated. Either by no longer buying their products, or by calling, emailing in and letting them know your opinion.

The fact that Howard Stern is still on the air today and getting richer by the minute, makes me wonder if maybe the decent people are now in the minority. As goes from my recent post elsewhere, I don’t care about the politics of this radio host. He’s a creep.
