So, am I allowed to call their children tar babies? :-P
Yeah, he used to pal around with noted communist John Henry Faulk.
I’m so not going anyplace near that one.
Didn’t know there was a previous thread. Sorry if I’m rattling some old bones. What made today’s announcement newsworthy was that they pulled the plug on the show permanently, not just suspended it.
I also did not realize, and wish to clarify so there’s no misunderstanding, that Don Pryor was the only one who used the offensive term and that he did so, by someone’s count, 34 times during the one-hour show.
In the past, Pryor has stepped in it a few other times and then continued to bring it back up while semi-apologizing for it at the same time. It’s part of his act but it obviously didn’t help him here.
Jefferies was suspended, in part, because he’s the show’s producer and, the management says, didn’t do enough to prevent Pryor from continually repeating the word.
If 0 can summarize me as a cracker clinging bitterly to my guns and religion, and paint his grandmother as a typical white person (cracker) and Barrientos is OK with his people claiming La Raza (The Race of Azatlan, including Texas) and KLBJ can't take the heat which was quite obviously IN JEST, then f'em.
WOAI out of San Antonio has better morning content, anyway. Just sad I needed a reason to switch.
And to think that the Leviathan had a program called “Operation Wetback” just about 50 years ago. Speaks volumes about how divided and degraded the country has become.
