ChronicleConservative host returns to the air after week suspension for using racial slur
Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle
MILWAUKEE -- A conservative radio show host who was taken off the air for using an ethnic slur resumed his show Monday, but vowed that he will not change the tone of his program.
Mark Belling used the word " ," a derogatory term for illegal Mexican immigrants, on his Oct. 27 show about potential voter fraud in Wisconsin.
On Monday, he devoted the final hour of his three-hour program to the issue, telling listeners that he intends to "test how long (his) leash is" now that he is back on the air.
"I cannot make any promise to the audience other than this: This show ain't changing at all," he said. "I can't promise that I won't say something that will be truly offensive to many, as my comment that created this entire situation, was."
(snip)
Belling, an occasional fill-in for national conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh, has been on WISN for 15 years and consistently draws top ratings for his target audience of men ages 25 to 54.

Sounds like he could be your brother Dan!!!!!
Weird, I've heard DJ's use the term on the air before. A Dallas show even has a gimmick for it.

There is no need for that kind of talk on radio but if he wants to show his ignorance for all to hear than more power to him.
Since you are gonna be righteous Clint, do you dissapprove of this also? ..........."Who knew Bush was a ###### lover?"There is no need for that kind of talk on radio but if he wants to show his ignorance for all to hear than more power to him.
So now two wrongs make a right?Weird, I've heard DJ's use the term on the air before. A Dallas show even has a gimmick for it.
No, it doesn't. But I'd guess there are a lot more people that might be offended in Texas than in Wisconsin, and the DJ's here didn't get suspended. Really, who cares? It's radio. If you don't like what someone is saying, change the station, put in a CD, talk on the phone, do something else.So now two wrongs make a right?
I agree with Clint and think ethnic slurs show the level of intellegence of the user.
That phrase comes from not repaying wrong with wrong. Misuse.
I agree he should have been disciplined for using that word.
I hear words like that from the left more often than the right, though.
IMHO, racial slurs occur much more from the right..especially at NASCAR races.
No, but two Wongs can make some good shrimp fried rice....
No GG, that was just plain wong.
Tell that to the FCC. I'm sure they would love to hear from you how they should not be the judge of questionable content in public programming over our free airwaves.No, it doesn't.

What are you trying to say here? That the Wisconsin right-winger should be punished? That you agree with the FCC censuring broadcasts? I thought you posted this thread to say what an SOB the guy was for using an ethnic slur.Tell that to the FCC. I'm sure they would love to hear from you how they should not be the judge of questionable content in public programming over our free airwaves.
Like I said, I personally don't care. Who am I to tell someone what to say or not to? These things have a way of taking care of themselves. If he keeps offending a certain group of people (whether it be Mexican-Americans, gays, or underwater basket weavers), they will either protest until he shuts up, or bad will start happening to him.
Those UBW's! Takin' all our jobs and women! Damn them!Like I said, I personally don't care. Who am I to tell someone what to say or not to? These things have a way of taking care of themselves.

Sorry, talk-radio doesn't work that way. They thrive on controversy.If he keeps offending a certain group of people (whether it be Mexican-Americans, gays, or underwater basket weavers), they will either protest until he shuts up, or bad will start happening to him.
Indeed. That's probably why Belling said what he did in the first place.Radio doesn't work that way. They trive on controversy.
...but does that make saying politically incorrect things over the public airwaves OK? Especially when the lack of political education in this country, and race sensativity along with them, are rapidly deteriorating?Indeed. That's probably why Belling said what he did in the first place.
, you should hear some of the trash on the Savage Nation radio show!!
, I don't know. I don't like the FCC controlling what people can or can't say over the air. Accountability should be with the employer, not the government. If my boss tells me that I can't do something on their dime, then I shouldn't. And if I do whatever that is and get caught, the employer can do whatever they want as punishment, and if I don't like it, I can quit....but does that make saying politically incorrect things over the public airwaves OK? Especially when the lack of political education in this country, and race sensativity along with them, are rapidly deteriorating?
As far as political education goes, I again don't know what to tell you. Is that a talk like the birds and the bees? Or some elective class I missed?Who's responsible for teaching this?
Dan, for someone who was throwing around the term " " so much in the aftermath of the elections, you really don't have room to talk about slurs.
I don't think "political education" is so far off that we can't pick out socialist bigots like you, Dan.
And now the airwaves are only for "politically correct" speech? I don't agree with what he said, but you are over the edge. Again. Still.
