Michael Berry-Conservative "Blow the Mosque Up" Radio Host in Gay-Bar Hit-and-Run (UPDATED)

http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/2012/02/michael_berry_conservative_blo.php


We've tried to contact Berry, who refused to comment to KPRC, but haven't heard back. (Update: Berry's response to our request for a comment: "Wish I could, but cannot.&quot
...

We did tune in his show to see if he was addressing the report his morning, but only heard him say, "I don't claim to speak for crackheads and welfare queens," which didn't seem related to the incident. (His pick of today's top stories did not include the report.)

Update: The Houston Chronicle heard more of Berry's show this morning than we did, and reported he said:

"When you poke your finger in somebody's eye every day like I do, you make enemies," he said. "There will always be attacks on me...that I said this, or did that. It takes a toll on you personally, but you simply can't go and chase down every nasty thing said about you."
