MILWAUKEE -- A former alderman and controversial radio talk show host said he's happy the mother of his radio rival is dead.
Michael McGee Sr. made the comments during his radio show on WNOV-AM Thursday morning. Charlie Sykes is a radio talk show host on WTMJ-AM. Sykes' mother, Katherine B. Sykes, died in a house fire Tuesday. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner said Thursday that Sykes died of smoke inhalation.
McGee's words quickly spread on the Internet as bloggers picked up the story. At least one radio host talked about it on his show Thursday afternoon.
McGee and Sykes have been publically battling for years, but even in the world of talk radio, some are saying the comments made are extreme.
"Mother Sykes, she dead. To me it's the vengeance of God. I ain't got no tears. Matter of fact a woman that would have a fool like that deserve whatever is coming her. She raised a sure enough idiot," McGee said on his radio show. "My instincts say Charlie Sykes killed his momma, cuz she live out in this big palace in Mequon all isolated. He got tired of waiting for her money."
McGee's comments came about 15 minutes into his show. He went on for about five minutes and then moved on to a different topic, but later in the show a caller asked about it.
"Mike McGee Senior," the caller began, "You really don't mean that, about your enemies families members being dead -- killed."
"Man, you don't think I mean that, man, you out of your mind," McGee replied.
WISN 12 News tried to contact McGee, management from WNOV-AM, and Charlie Sykes' radio station, WTMJ-AM, for comment, but no one returned the station's calls or messages.
An employee at WNOV-AM said they've received a lot of phone calls about McGee's comments and that most listeners are not happy about what was said.
McGee was previously suspended by WNOV-AM in 2004 after using an expletive on the air.
The guy definitely leans way to the left.
Sometimes it seems like they elect the people they know will shock the rest of us most. Know if Junior's battle with the Tosa PD was ever resolved?
That thing is scary looking.
Oh my gosh, it is a nappy headed ‘ho. LOL!
I can’t believe anyone would say such a horrible thing! What in the world is wrong with that guy?
He is one of the most articulate out there.
God Bless his family.
...but nothing in Journal Sentinel today?
Here is a partial transcript of the audio....
“Mother Sykes... she dead. I mean, to me, it’s the vengeance of God. I ain’t got no tears.”
“A woman that have a fool like that deserve whatever’s coming to her, ‘cause she raised a sure enough idiot. “
“And of course Mark Belling created in a lab out of spare parts.”
“On the real side, whatever happen to those monsters, they deserve it.”
“But really on the other side of it, just my, my, my instincts say Charlie Sykes killed his mama.”
“He got tried of waiting for that money.”
“Said, ‘Mama gotta go.’ “
“[If not for] Hitler’s mama, wouldn’t have been no Hilter. So the way I look at it, it’s tied in.”
“When you got evil like Charlie Sykes, I mean on any issue that fool is against the black community... it could be some young nigger spitting in the street...”
“All of them fools and Milwaukee as a whole — They hate a ni$$#@r. And they hate, they hate, they hate.”
The evidence is. Sykes must go. :-)
You forgot the obligatory “SARCASM MODE ON:” prior to that statement...
Does anyone know if Charlie Sykes is white?
What are the odds that this man has smoked ganja before?
“Homer Blow”
Who would name their kid that?
I thought that was the guy! Something about snipers closing down the freeways, IIRC.
I guess speaking English is not a requirement to run for any office in Wisconsin.
One in the same...that was several years ago...and just a few days ago he talked on the same radio program about “bricking” cars for speeding....
