That's why a guy like Belling will always be second-tier. Rush Limbaugh would never use that term.
Yeah sink, he gave the pc crowd the ammo, didn't he?
I have heard him do exactly that, although many years ago
WETBACK is the term used by LEGAL Mexican immigrants to describe the ILLEGAL border crossers.
For the lesser-educated leftists-in-hiding here, WetBack refers to their getting wet by swimming across the Rio Grande (Big River) which lines a portion of the border between Texas and Mexico (a foreign country).
a LEGAL Mexican Immigrant will take that as an extreme insult if you call him a "wetback". They know the meaning of HONOR.
Years ago they had a guy in San Francisco on KSFO that did something similar. It was when they first went to their “Hot Talk” format and the guy either said we should kill wetbacks or implied it. Called them wetbacks anyway and said they should be rounded up and killed… something like that.
They fired his butt before the end of the day, the way I remember it.
Listening to Belling fill in for Rush was UNDERwhelming.
Rush probably wouldn't even think that term.
I agree with you - it was a stupid thing to say and the guy should have known better. He probably won't be missed.
That's why Rush has been on the air for so long. He's the best and in my mind he's number one. Solid, solid, solid.
Yeah, imagine calling wetbacks "wetbacks". How offensive to the illegal aliens. Oh, wait, they're criminals, aren't they?? Wetbacks, wetbacks, wetbacks. Nyaaa.
