National fury targets Sly
Wisconsin State Journal ^ | 11/24/2004 | milwguy

Posted on 11/24/2004 6:26:17 AM PST by milwguy

I think the "sly' Sylvester, Condi Rice insult presents another great case study in how we as citizens have been given the power, via outlets such as FREE REPUBLIC, to get involved in getting all the news out, not just the news which the media elite wants us to see.

How did the Condi Rice, Aunt Jemima comment by WTDY radio talk show jerk John 'Sly' Sylvester make it on to the airwaves of the MSM, rather than getting buried like so many stories about liberals malfeasance? I would like to think that I played a small part in that. On Nov. 18, at 9:25 AM cst, I posted what I think was the first reference to Sylvesters racist remarks. I had heard Charlie Sykes interview Sylvster on WTMJ, where Sylvester not only repeated his racist diatribe against Ms Rice and Mr. Powell, he further stated his black callers 'had given him permisson' to use those remarks.

After hearing his outrageous comments, I immediately posted what I had heard Sylvester say on FREE REPUBLIC, and was followed 17 minutes later by another poster. Within an hour, I had over 1000 views and 50 responses to my post, with posters adding info on who to contact at WTDY, their ownerships phone numbers, and suggestions to forward the story to Rush, Hannity, Drudge, etc, which I did. Posters began to call the radio station and their advertisers with complaints, and by 9:30 pm on the 18th, the story had been picked up by the AP and went national.

Having been in Houston for four days and away from my computer, I had no idea that the story had such impact on a national level. I got home yesterday and watched Hannity on FOX and was surprised to see the moron Sylvester on TV arguing with Hannity and calling him an idiot. Even poor Alan Colmes wouldn't tolerate the A-holes rediculous behavior.

My point is this fellow FREEPERS, we have the power to get all viewpoints aired, and this is our vehicle to do that. We have allies and outlets who will listen to us in Hannity, Drudge, Rush, etc., and if you are aware of things in your community which are newsworthy and you know the liberal MSM like the AP. NYT, Wash. Post, etc would never pick up on, post it here. From the swifties, to rathergate, to smaller stories such as this, if we work together, we conservatives have real power to shape the news.

Happy Thanksgiving to all, and long live FREE REPUBLIC.

I think the guy is slimy as hell... But let us not forget... Being able to express your opinion, right or wrong; is one of the things that makes us great!

The guy is a complete F'n idiot, lets just leave it at that.

If WE want to get all fired up and viciously attack something... How about the ACLU?

Peace

Don't forget to give much credit due to Sean Hannity. Sean had this idot on TV last night. That is the first TV exposure that I saw. Sean was the only one giving FULL exposure to the National Guard documents and the Swift Boat Vets.

Lets give him credit where credit is due.

Sly was still on the air this morning, enjoying whatever "bounce" came from his public humiliation on Hannity and Colmes last night. He did not talk about the Condi Rice story, but instead shareed his views on birth control, a problem he really doesn't face in his everyday life. Some of his choice wisdom included "Shaq-sized condoms" and how he'd take a Louisville slugger to the head of any pharmacist who refused to sell condoms to a family member of his. One caller made some analogy to "painting someone's kitchen black", to which Sly slyly replied "Interesting choice of colors".

He obviously hasn't learned anything, other than how to make a fool of himself on the national stage.

I'll second that one on the ACLU!!!

And there REALLY IS a way to finish off the Main Stream Media AND the ACLU!

Start lobbying the House of Representatives to hold public hearings on the political activism of the Main Stream Media, and public hearings on the ACLU's activities. I dare say that type of an action would cause enough people's eyes to be opened that the ACLU might go hide under a rug! And the intimidation by Congress having open investigations would help to shut them down. And LET their Dem friends come to their rescue :) It'll be a FULL SWEEP in 2006 campaigning against the DNC / ACLU!!

Excerpt: "Since he called Secretary of State nominee Condoleezza Rice an "Aunt Jemima" and outgoing Secretary of State Colin Powell an "Uncle Tom" on his radio talk show Wednesday, Madison's John Sylvester has been taking angry e-mail from across the country, but he still has his job"

If this had been a conservative, he would be out on the streets. Only a liberal can keep his job over racial slurs.

Being able to express your opinion, right or wrong; is one of the things that makes us great!

Being to react to people who get paid to express their views on public airwaves and then react to their idiotic, racist rants by contacting their employers, boycotting their advertisers, and ultimately holding them accountable makes us greater still

I know who "Sly" is, or enough.

It was rhetorical.

The emphasis is on the second part Why give him more publicity than he's ever had in his pathetic career?

"But let us not forget"--- You must be part of the Hillary crowd that thinks all values are equal and that free speech includes allowing people to use the American Air waves paid for by tax dollars to spew hate toward anyone...especially if they are Republicans. Get a new life.
