Mark Belling under attack again

Today, a panel of the Milwaukee County Board voted 5-2 to end all dealings with Clear Chanel, including all 6 radio stations and the largest bill board advertising firm in the nation. They state that the reason they are doing this is because of the 5 month old flap about Belling using a single derogatory comment, he called illegal Mexican aliens "wetbacks". Since then Belling was suspended, apologized many times, Clear Chanel has added programming aimed at the minority community and the list goes on.

We all know what this is really about, it is about silencing a strong Conservative voice, because in the same 5 months, hate speech from the Milwaukee Liberals has been rampant! We have an Alderman, Michael McGee Jr. using several really offensive terms like his "sick faggot" comment, he has made disparaging remarks towards black employees of the Mayor and calls the District Attorney "Dumb Ass" as well as other racial remarks he has made on his fathers radio show...

Remember this post I made.
I just wanted to point out a comment Mark Belling made today on the Mike McGee Jr. story. He reminded us that when he used a single derogatory word, the Milwaukee Common Council voted almost unanimously to condemn Belling, even after apologizing, but McGee repeatedly uses racial and derogatory terms toward gays, he refuses to apologize and even flaunts it as a badge of honor, and all the Common Council can do is get 6 Alderman to ask him to apologize…No official condemnation, no sanctions…Nothing!


We in Milwaukee remember Jr. McGee's father, former Alderman Michael McGee Sr. the well known Milwaukee radio host and former Black Panther that is known for his racial commentary and hatred. McGee got into trouble soon after the Belling incident for using "the F word" but he has never been criticized for his many and blatant racial terms including the "N word he uses on a regular basis. McGee and the owner of his radio station received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the now defunct anti-poverty agency OIC. Yet, the County still does business with this company, even though they still use racial and derogatory terms daily, their is no threat to financially attack them if they keep McGee on.

And let's not forget Sly "Aunt Jamimah" Sylvester's acceptable racism calling Condi Rice "Aunt Jamimah" Colon Powell "Uncle Tom", then he handed out pancake mix and syrup making light of it.

Also, remember that these board members supported the hate speech of Ward Churchill and the use of public money to support it, now they are using public money in an attempt to silence a Conservative that made a single offensive comment, compare that to Churchill's repeated hate calling the 9/11 victims Nazi's that deserved to die and calling for more attacks on America.

The full County Board votes on this next week, NOW is the time to call and write your Supervisor! This blatant extortion of Clear Chanel is just wrong!

There will be more on this story!
