Steve Blair fired by Prescott radio station for racist remarks about school mural

[Archae]

Good.

If only it were this easy for FOX News to fire Glenn Beck. Still, I'll take progress wherever I can get it.

Arizona FOX affiliate KYCA fired Steve Blair today over the mural controversy painted on a wall at Miller Valley School. Actually, he wasn't fired over the controversy. He was fired for creating the controversy.

When asked about what his objections were to the mural, he replied:

"Number one, it was defacing a public building of a historic nature on one of the most heavily traveled roadways in Prescott, Arizona without any edification of what the mural was supposed to be, what it stood for, and it's a piece of public art that I don't support. Not there. Somewhere else, maybe yes, but not there.

And based upon the fact that nobody bothered to let the community know what that mural was supposed to depict made it very difficult to buy in on -- um -- what the mission statement of that mural was supposed to be. Plus it was too big, too in-your-face, wrong place, wrong time."

Defacing? Really? That particular verb, especially when taken in concert with what he says about the school mural project in general, really exposes him clearly.

1. Good

[MrScorpio]

2. That mural is out to destroy White America

And as Steve Blair has sacrificed his rinky-dink radio career to stand up against the onslaught of multi-culturalism, it makes me wish that other like minded folks are willing to do the same.

4. I hope that mural is replaced with another one of all brown people in different hues.

And that Blair is forced to drive past it every day on his way to his minimum wage job at Walmart.

5. Good. This is what should happen to racists on the radio

Who promote their racism. Isn't this type of thing how the genocide in Rwanda started?

9. Let me predict this butthole will become the new cause celebre for the right

'freedom of speech' blah blah blah. 'government takeover of the airwaves' blah, blah ........
I hope I am wrong, but I am sure some element of the right will attempt to cash in on it.
