Conservative commentator Jamie Allman has lost his job on Sinclair-owned KDNL after making a threatening statement about Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg.

The St. Louis TV and radio host has been under significant pressure ever since he tweeted that he was “getting ready to ram a hot poker up David Hogg’s ass.” Allman’s Channel 30 show was losing a lot of advertisers over that statement, and a spokesperson for Sinclair Broadcast Group confirmed that Allman’s show has been cancelled.

“We have accepted Mr. Allman’s resignation, and his show has been cancelled,” said Ronn Torossian, CEO of the PR firm 5W.

[MicaelS]

2. Great! Hit the scum where it hurts...

In the pocketbook.

[Leghorn21]

3. YESSSSS! I checked 3 hours ago, no word on this pigfucker...YESSSS!!! Oh hot damn!!!

Thank you, dem!!!

[vercetti2021]

4. See ya asshole

Hopefully his going away gift was a fire poker

[uppityperson]

5. Good. That is something that deserved a strong repercussion

[Glorfindel]

6. Dear God, who are these monsters? And when are the repukes going to disown them?

Horrible, horrible person, this Jamie Allman.

[SoCalMusicLover]

37. The Repukes ARE Them

They stick by their own, look at Roy Moore.

[magicarpet]

7. Sick Nazi pervert child molester.

Bye-bye

[janterry]

8. I've never heard of him before

so I looked at a picture of him - and saw him smiling. A middle aged, balding guy with a suit and tie.

I just can't imagine ever saying such a thing.

He deserved to be fired. Good!

[titaniumsalute]

51. Hey I'm a middle aged balding guy with a suit and tie...

[janterry]

52. then you look like a nice man, too

[True Blue American]

60. Yeah, but

You would never say that about a teenager.

[titaniumsalute]

61. Haha

[Sherman A1]

9. Good

It was the correct thing for the station to do and while KDNL is overall a pretty poor station (and always has been one to run 8th in a 3 person race), there is simply no place for this type of reprehensible behavior on the part of alleged professionals or anyone for that matter. Mr. Allman's job was about the use of words, words matter and they have consequences.

[regnaD kciN]

10. I assume he'll now become a YUGE figure among far-right podcasters...

...now that his First Amendment Rights To Free Soeech have been so horribly repressed by the P.C. Police and those with the hidden agenda to Take Away Our Guns so we can be enslaved by the Deep State.

[YessirAtsaFact]

11. These talk show jerks should be charged with communicating threats

I am a strong supporter of the first amendment, but inciting violence is not protected speech.

[Zorro]

12. Sounds as if the station rammed a red hot pink slip up Allman's ass

[3catwoman3]

40. Oh, well said.

Very fine word smithing!

[Doodley]

13. David Hogg should press charges.

[no_hypocrisy]

14. Let The Market decide!

[bullwinkle428]

15. Sinclair-owned? I'm shocked the asshole didn't get a promotion out of this.

[RhodeIslandOne]

16. Why are "conservatives" fixated on anal rape? n/m

[hatrack]

25. Just as they're always screaming about things "forced down their throats"

One wonders . . .

[forgotmylogin]

46. It's interesting to see what conceptual indignities people will descend to...

when angered. Not just the threat of physical violence, but vengeful sexual penetration is the most humiliating thing they can conceive of, which reveals a lot regarding a person's character.

I'm in St. Louis, and KDNL radio is where many people of a generation are used to tuning in for baseball games. You don't want that on the air.

[erronis]

64. Probably because they fantasize (or enact) these acts. Bet you more repugs than dems

Have had their asses hauled into court for a variety of offenses against decency (whatever that is...)

[lunasun]

17. Good to hear thanks

[bucolic_frolic]

18. David Hogg is in high school, right?

He's underage? If he is, that is a threat against a child. Seriously, these people are monsters

[Angry Dragon]

20. He is in High School........but I think he is 18

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

21. He is 17 eom

[argyl]

34. I thought he was a 26 y.o. actor who actually lived in Los Angeles.

That was what the RW media was trying to pass off as fact a few weeks ago.
And a very meticulously crafted lie it was.

[crazycatlady]

56. I think at this point he is considered a public figure

And I'm not sure if the laws against public figures are different for adults vs minors. I'm sure that child stars have been on the receiving end of criticism.

[Honeycombe8]

19. You don't hear liberals making such violent, shocking threats to people.

These are truly deplorable, extremely violent, hateful people. They don't argue facts. They do personal attacks. Against teenagers? There are crazies out there who WOULD do such a thing.

Despicables.

[BigmanPigman]

22. Maybe Ted "the nuge" Nugent will give him a job during his upcoming Summer tour.

[keithbvadu2]

23. Conservative fantasies of pedophilia torture/rape... Tough guys.

Like their messiah Trump, they say it like it is.

[meadowlark5]

24. Trump is probably looking for a place in his administration for him

"totally unfair!" "he's a good man!"

Scumbags gotta stick together.

[world wide wally]

26. Trumps new Attorney General?

[SCVDem]

27. Next stop,

NRA tv.

These violent psychos are all pro gun.

Don't it make you feel safer?

[Major Nikon]

28. Nelson said it best

[Hoyt]

29. Probably gave the white winger more notoriety than he had before, but glad hes gone.

[Onyrleft]

30. YES YES YES!

I live in this TV market and the guy is a scumbag (OK I'm sure you already got that).

BTW; do the Sinclair stations where you live have a program with a Fox News wannabe?

[IronLionZion]

31. RWers clearly repressing some sick fantasies

[Xipe Totec]

32. I'd ask for time to muster sympathy, but I know it ain't gonna happen. nt

[ailsagirl]

33. Perfect karma

[Beartracks]

35. Fired?! Did he try the usual Republican "it was just a joke" excuse??

This is weird: a conservative being held accountable. I don't know what to make of it.

===========

[jpak]

36. LOLOLOL!!!1111

FU loser!

[radliberal]

38. Well, someone got a red hot poker shoved up their ass......so long A-HOLE@#$#@

VOTE THEM OUT!

[dlk]

39. Threatening to Rape a Minor, Especially a School Massacre Survivor, is Beyond Evil

How twisted and deranged would someone have to be to make such a hideous threat over the airwaves? He is a threat to public safety and should be locked away to protect the children.

[dalton99a]

41. Finally.

[AllyCat]

42. So he lost his job because Sinclair was losing money, not

because he threatened a minor with violence?

[AllaN01Bear]

43. this is better than washing his mouth out with soap.

i wonder if he will wind up on serius radio like another big mouth did.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

44. As it should have been

Who the fuck does this ass wipe think he is? Try acting like an adult.

[C Moon]

45. Well it's crawl-under-a-rock time again, you're gonna leave me...

[raccoon]

47. Brown Shirts--they live! Nt

[lastlib]

48. Thoughts & prayers to his family.........

.

. (in the event it's needed.............)

[maxrandb]

49. NOT FUCKING GOOD ENOUGH!!!!

The entire Sinclair company NEEDS TO BE FUCKING CANCELLED

[Bromwell]

50. Definitely not a deplorable scum bag, a lot of people are saying this let me tell you.....

[RightiswrongTn]

53. Another Sinclair Assclown going down!!!

Write any Sinclair media outlet in your area, let them feel the "love". Might not help, but it made me feel better. I will not watch, listen to, or read anything that comes from the Propaganda arm of the conservatives..period!!

[Your Waiter Tonight]

54. The Untalented Allman Brother

Lord, he was born a stupid man.....

[The Polack MSgt]

66. well done

welcome to DU YWT.

[Your Waiter Tonight]

68. Thank You

And call me Scotty.

[beachbum bob]

55. words have consequences and must make people like this guy always PAY for what they

say and write.

fuck them

[Kurt V.]

57. good news

let the whining begin.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

58. Wow

What is it about DH that drives RWNJs so crazy, seemingly without doing anything?

[Collimator]

67. "What is it about DH that drives RWNJs so crazy, seemingly without doing anything?"

Simple. He's one of them. Not a Right-winger, but rather their first understood in-group : A white male. They cannot dismiss him on that instinctive level as they do women and people of color.

David Hogg "counts". His voice is "supposed" to be heard. And he is supposed to be speaking for them and their interests. The fact that he is not means he is a traitor to what should be his first loyalty.

[Bengus81]

59. Another one bites the dust,another one bites the dust and another one's gone......

[workinclasszero]

62. Sit on that hot poker

right wing POS!

[LiberalLovinLug]

63. There is no other word for these degenerates than 'deplorable'

How are we supposed to stop calling them that when they continually live up to the name?

[yurbud]

65. I would dig in that guys backyard for bodies. That was some John Wayne Gacy shit that comment

[agueybana79]

69. I'm enjoying seeing all these conservatives go down in flames as they target the students. n/t
