Liberal Radio Host on Death of Conservative Rival's Mother: 'It's the Vengeance of God'

To: conservativegranny

From The Milwaukee Journal/Sentinal NewsWatch....

Jerrel Jones, the owner of radio station WNOV-AM (860) has barred talk show host Michael McGee Sr. from the air indefinitely because of the "deplorable" remarks McGee made yesterday about the death of Katherine Sykes. Sykes, the mother of Charlie Sykes, who has a show on WTMJ-AM (620), died in a fire in her home on Tuesday. During his "Word Warriors" program Thursday, McGee said Katherine Sykes deserved her tragic fate and suggested that her son was responsible. "I thought the statement was terrible," Jones said late Friday afternoon. "It was ridiculous and the timing was absolutely deplorable. "The remark was disgusting." Jones said he would meet with McGee Saturday morning to discuss the former Milwaukee alderman's offensive comments and the prospects of his return to the air. McGee buys his time on the station that Jones has owned since 1972. Jones took McGee's show off the air for a short period in 2004 after he used an obscenity during the "Word Warriors" show. In this instance, Jones has not determined whether he will allow McGee back on the air. "I am going to make sure that never happens again," Jones said. "I will guarantee myself that. "I don't know just what course of action that I will have to take."

McGee? Is that the nut who was threatening Milwaukee with black revolution in the 1990’s?

he’s now a former alderman of Milwaukee? He’s one of those people that just can’t let go of the spotlight...like the Clintons or Algoracle...or that drunken sot from Taxachussetts...
