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.
I’m originally from Milwaukee and Mike McGee, Sr, is clearly an idiot and a jerk. Always has been.
Charlie Sykes is an articulate class guy, and I highly recommend you tune onto his morning radio show if passing through Milwaukee. I believe it’s 620 on the AM dial.
I have seen this vile racist pig McGee on TV before. He is “black trash”. Yeah thats right, I said it. I have heard some of the most sickening racist things come out of his mouth. This man “HATES” white people with a passion and will look you in your eyes and tell you that. But he gets away with it time and time again. I wonder what would have happened if Sykes would have attacked a minitory in the same way (reverse the roles)? You better beleive that the rhyming reverends would be at the radio station calling for Sykes’s firing. Here’s a link:

“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.”
OK, now let’s see if the rhyming reverends start marching in fornt of the studio with signs since calling for this man to be fired for using the word “nigger” on the air.
Talk show hosts should know how to talk at least.
I typed my question before scrolling down and reading everything. I tend to do that sometimes.
Gee, why am I NOT surprised he is white and also that NOTHING will happen and the media will IGNORE this glaringly obvious racist remark?!!!
One in the same. He also called for “necklacing” whitey & I think he was still an Alderman at the time.
Some parts of Wisconsin expect their representatives to be downright nutty.
Whooops..I meant to blunt out all the nwords and missed one....sorry...but if I guess it really doesn’t matter now....
Charlie’s not on today either. Jeff Wagner’s in for him.
If it really bothers you, you can ask the mods to delete the post, and then you can repost it.
> Know if Junior’s battle with the Tosa PD was ever resolved?<
He caused a small mini riot after he was arrested at a demonstration in front of the Wauwatosa PD. Someone in the crowd called McGee a racist. Image that!!! And the crowd reacted with violence.
After that the cowed Wauwatosa mayor posed for hugging pictures with McGee and started some kind of racial “task force” after an hour long meeting with him behind closed doors. She then went underground and you never heard from her again or anything about her task force for racial relations.
McGee was arrested in front of a blockbuster video store late at night after the store had closed. He was sitting in the parking lot with a girlfriend (this may or may not have been the pregnant girlfriend whose life he threatened after she took him to court)looking suspicious. A black employee of the store phoned a suspicious vehicle call into the police and they arrested McGee who of course never resists arrest and is always innocent. He then claimed police brutality of course and the black community rallied to his defense.
As far as I know, nothing happened with that case.
Everyone who took the time to post here should take a few extra seconds to file a complaint with the FCC.

I checked the Milwaukee Journal site and saw no article on this, which doesn’t surprise me. The Journal editors, on the other hand, always seem so surprised that people are leaving Milwaukee for the ‘burbs. I mean, the city is so full of progressive thought, why would anyone think of leaving. Well, here is part of the answer. McGee, Jr., by the way, easily survived a recall this past election. If the citizens of Milwaukee want the McGees to be their spokesmen...fine. They should not be surprised as Milwaukee continues its slide into violence, crumbling infrastructures, dysfunctional schools and poverty. Some black Milwaukeeans are waking up...but not many.

I left the whole damn state. You'd be surprised at the number of ex-SE Wisconsin types running manufacturing firms here in the Dakotas.
The McGees are just emblematic of Milwaukee's slide from a great economic powerhouse to a urban socialistic cesspool.
Boy oh boy- I am glad that I moved from Milwaukee in 1964.
BS. I'm a 40-ish parent of 6 kids and these are the best years of my life.
