KFI Host, Clear Channel Apologize To Muslims

KFI folds. Sheesh.

Bet Handel went along under protest.

For those who came in late, after the usual trampling-of-the-pilgrims at the march to Mecca, Handel commented that they really should get a traffic helicopter.

update.

Pingoroonie!

A sad day.
Fortunately, for most of us, our livelihood does not depend on mollifying the sandmaggots...

[Publius6961]

... he would only apologize if CAIR, which he says has ties to terrorist organizations, would denounce all terrorist attacks, recognize Israel as a sovereign nation and declare [under oath] that it had no ties of any sort, financially or otherwise, to any terror organizations or individuals.

Addition mine...
What sounded to me like a reasonable quid pro quo, and bears repeating!

[Conservative4Ever]

Handel say it ain't so. His biting humor is one good thing about morning radio here in SoCal.

[RonF]

Actually, I agree with this. Handle is free to mock these deaths if he chooses. But KFI is free to refuse to pay him to do so. I don't see where KFI profits either financially or, more importantly, morally by mocking the death of religious pilgrims engaged in non-violent activities. Since KFI is paying for his microphone, Handle can either shut up, apologize, or quit.

“The wound was very fresh for a lot of Muslims and the comments were out of line and for that I am sorry [there were only 350 killed],” he [should have] said.

[sheik yerbouty]

I apologize for the neglect America has shown in not making Mecca a smoldering ruin on 9/12/01..

[Redcloak]

I knew they'd cave. They caved to Bill Cosby when Tammy Bruce called attention to his wife's loony remarks, so why wouldn't they cave to CAIR?

[Dr.Zoidberg]

See those? Yeah, those were once Bill Handels nuts. Now they belong to mohammed.

They make a nice decoration hanging right there beside the moon rock, don't they?

[MadeInAmerica]

Hahahaha.....Here I thought there was 1 public figure in LA that still had nads.....


Wrong again

Handel should have stuck to his guns.

[Fiji Hill]

You erstwhile Handel fans to surf over to KRLA or KTIE, at 870 and 590 kilocycles, respectively, on the AM dial, and listen to Laura Ingraham--a true, patriotic conservative who would never give up so easily.

[Fiji Hill]

Hahahaha.....Here I thought there was 1 public figure in LA that still had nads.....
Wrong again

Try Larry Elder, The Sage of South-Central LA (KABC) or John & Ken (KFI), who broadcast opposite one another in the afternoon.

HAD is the operative word there. And it's a shame too. I really liked his show and thought his shtick was quite amusing.

[doug from upland]

Handel shot off his mouth, then he turned girlyman.

[dmz]

While what you say may be true, I have difficulty imagining Laura Ingraham making comments such as that.

I've yet to be convinced she's wired for humor.

[Cinnamon Girl]

I'm sorry, too... I'm sorry Handel apologized.

I guess KFI was afraid of being burnt to the ground by the religion of peace.
