I think we should show mark support and freep the heck out of the station management. While we are at it, we should freep the urinal-sentinal as well.

He blew it and is getting whats coming to him...

There is no place for the term 'wetback' in the debate...

People like this guy are not an asset, but a liability. Send him packing

[APFel]

No context?

[Theodore R.]

The popular Ann Willis Richards made use of the comment "wetback" in her 1990 TX gubernatorial victory, and not a single media person that I can recall protested in the least.

[who knows what evil?]

We're getting mighty thin-skinned in this country...

I believe radio personalities like Rush and Sean are valuable.

So for a substitute to use bad judgement on those programs is a negative, giving an opening for criticism.

I much prefer substitutes with enough experience, judgement, self control to not make such blunders.

"Mark will return to the air. Right now, both Mark and the station are focusing on how we can educate we can assimilate the remaining resistance out there among the public on ethnic diversity and what we can do to exploit this into higher market share."

[Trust but Verify]

I bet one phone call from Rush would put an end to this.

[Bob J]

BTW - This was stupid on his part and will be utilized by the left to further reinforce the perception of conservatives as knuckle dragging racists.

Thanks Mark.

This guy is so behind. It's "moist posterior" not that other word.

[sully777]

I'm a Mick because my people sometimes use Mc or Mac in their surname, though my name starts with an O'. We're known as drunks because many of our people drink in excess. I don't get drunk. We eat potatoes but I don't like them as much as pasta. We're known for our anger and humor because most Irish are angry and humorous, usually at the same time. That one really pisses me off!

True it's a general statement but a true statement as well; stereotypes follow those guidelines generally. Have I offended anyone?

Where would we get the idea of calling hispanics wetbacks?

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

I think they should be called CRIMINAL INVADERS.

[F.J. Mitchell]

The term should have always been "Wetfeet", they only get their backs wet if they fall down in mid Rio Grande.

Outlawing free speech, one word at a time, is the soicialists incremental route to total censorship.

[Last Dakotan]

Will the "Mark Belling Cruise to the Caribbean" be stopping in Mexico this year?

[jackbill]

If Mark was talking about illegal alien Mexicans swimming across the Rio Grande and then voting in an American election, what in the hell else do you call them but "wetback" voters?

[ConservativeMan55]

BTTT!!!

[freemama]

I actually remember hearing him say the comment he is in trouble for. It was in the context ofthe election and illegals voting.

He's a good talk show host. He is connected enough with city, county and state govt. that he can apply pressure by broadcasting to us if there are abuses. We need him as a watch-dog! Milwaukee will only have Sykes left as a conservative radio host on the local level that can offer that service.

FReepers, please call or email both WISN and Clear Channel about keeping Belling on the air.

[BigSkyFreeper]

If he apologized for using the term, after the fact, he should be sent packing.

[dennisw]

Wetback is a mildly derogatory word for illegal alien. I never use it when speaking. I don't like illegal aliens. I don't consider this invasion a joke. No way should Mark Bell be jerked around after apologizing. At this point I blame the professional ethnic grievance agitators. The Hispanic ones in Milwaukee

[coffeeboyy2k]

Mark is in trouble for the way he responded on the air following the use of the term "wetback". On the Monday (Nov 1) show he issued a halfhearted apology for the use of the term, then polled his listening audience asking if he should have apologized, and ended the discussion of the topic joking that his audience was "all wet". Our cup is half-full however. At least we wont have to listen to reruns while he fills in for Rush any longer.
