Rush issues apology (of sorts)

[pangaia]

29. Keep afer this sick pig.

Go after his advertisers.
Go after every radio station that carries the likes of him, Hannity, Bill'O, and, in my neck of the woods.. which is WHAM 1180 in Rochester, NY, go after Bob Lonsberry. A mean mouthed. snide, sick little snapping turtle.

If you don't know about Lonsberry..

This from Wikipedia.. and I can back it up..
" (On the WHAM show, Lonsberry frequently mentions his affinity for women's breasts.)'

"...In February 2009, Lonsberry began using the term FUBO... and started endorsing and giving away associated merchandise... on his Rochester radio show. This term, an acronym for the phrase "F-ck You, Barack Obama", is used to express disgust with the actions and policies of the US President. This term is spoken on a daily basis on Rochester's 50,000 watt News Radio WHAM 1180..."

"Lonsberry was an LDS (Mormon) missionary on the Navajo and Hopi reservations in the American Southwest."

"While working as a talk show host for WHAM-Rochester in late 2003, an orangutang had temporarily escaped its cage in Rochester's Seneca Park Zoo. Lonsberry made the comment while monkey sounds played, "a monkey's loose up at the zoo again--and he's running for county executive." He was insinuating that both candidates were unfit for the position. The two candidates were Maggie A. Brooks a white woman who was then county clerk and William A. Johnson, Jr. a black man who was then mayor. Lonsberry never mentioned the three-term mayor by name. WHAM radio said in a statement that "although Mr. Lonsberry expressed a willingness to change, it became obvious to us that he is not embracing diversity."

He was fired, but then later re-hired because the station was LOSING RATINGS!! That tells you all you need to know about WHAM 1180.
