Wingnut sports radio host had to go there...now he's gone, fired!

http://www.stltoday.com/sports/other/slaten-ousted-at-kfns-after-remarks-about-blacks/article_dbd22c55-eaf3-5348-8a57-65fbf6f1c18e.html

The afternoon drive-time show hosted by outspoken sports-talk radio host Kevin Slaten has been dumped by KFNS (590 AM) following racially oriented comments he made on the air last week, station general manager Katy Pavelonis said Monday.

“Thursday’s broadcast led to the (show termination) conversation we had today,’’ she said. “We are parting ways; the station is going in a little bit of a different direction.’’

"The gist of the remarks that got Slaten in hot water with station management were that African-Americans voted for President Barack Obama because he is black.

“The next time someone tells me that the black voters are not bigoted, stick it in the trash can because black voters are bigoted — ninety-three percent (of the black vote went) for Obama, six percent for (Mitt) Romney — you’re bigots,’’ Slaten said on the air. “You might not be bigots in your normal life, but when you vote you are bigots. ... That’s how you vote."





Ha, Ha. Couldn't happen to a bigger douche.

There was a story posted yesterday about a woman who drove over her husband because he didn't vote at all and she blamed him for Obama winning. I think we are going to see a lot more of this.
