Ex-Rep. Joe Walsh ‘kicked off the air’ over racist terms on radio Fri, 06/20/2014 - 3:37am Mitch Dudek

According to posts on former U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh’s Twitter account Thursday night, the conservative radio talk-show host was kicked off the air on WIND-AM (560) for using racial slurs while trying to have a discussion about racial slurs.

In a series of tweets posted about 7 p.m., Walsh says: “Just got kicked off the air until further notice. Tried to have honest discussion about racist terms and management censored my language.”

And: “I’m trying to have an honest, adult conversations about words without resorting to alphabet soup phrases (C-word, N-word, etc).”

The posts said the discussion involved the ethical debate about the name of the pro football team in Washington, D.C.: the Redskins.

Walsh is the host of the weeknight “Joe Walsh Show” on WIND from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

This is why it was nothing more than a sick joke when Eric Holder said “when it comes to race this is a nation of cowards.” The left is lying in ambush for anyone who dares discuss race and Holder is one of them.

Thus my analogy of someone standing there with a club behind their back.

That’s a perfect analogy. Holder personifies it.

Joe needs to understand that there isn’t any pressing need to use filthy language (e.g., the “c” word) on our airwaves. When junior high is over, it’s time to leave junior high behind.

I thought the "C" word he compared to the "N" word -- was a synonym for "saltine"

Love it! He is one hell of a musician.

I saw him recently on an episode of “Guitar Center Sessions” on Directv. He has still got it.

Joe Walsh the musician endorsed Tammy Duckworth.

Joe Walsh should primary Aaron Schock, Kinzinger or Mark Kirk.

I’d like to see him pull no punches on Michelle Obama in 2016.Any other candidate will tip toe around her racism.
