Oooops: "I want Mother F---ing Joe the Plumber dead!"

'Kill Joe the Plumber' radio host fired

Expletive-laden, on-air diatribe triggers 'see you later' letter

Posted: November 12, 2008

A left-leaning San Francisco radio host who doubles as a columnist for the Huffington Post has been dismissed from his broadcast job for an expletive-laden, on-air diatribe in which he called for the death of "Joe the Plumber."

On his own website, Charles Raymond Bouley Jr., more popularly known as Karel, confirmed he was fired from his weekend KGO radio show for the rant, which happened when he thought he was off the air.

1. oops
too bad the link is from World Nut Daily, but ta-ta, Karel, and don't let the door hit you in the ass.

i really couldn't stand him. i'd rather listen to Gene Burns drone on about the Holiday Cookie Exchange than anything from Karel.

no offense meant, Karel fans.

3. I have to agree. I think we
use the word kill, even if only speaking in anger, way too much these days. No one should wish anyone dead no matter how big a dirtbag they may be.

4. Why don't conservatives ever get fired when they do that kind of thing?

18. Because to them violence is more tolerable
I mean, how often do right-wing psychos kill each other? The righties have compared the KKK to the Weathermen, forgetting that the only people the Weathermen actually killed were three of their own, whereas the KKK has been proudly lynching black people since 1871.

How often did we hear chants of "kill him!" referring to Obama and McCain/Palin rallies? How often has Rush Limbaugh ranted about Obama as a terrorist? They know facts and reality are not on their side. So they flame like the bunch of jackasses they are. Only this time, the flaming was brushed off by Obama and he won the Presidency, giving Democrats control of all three levels of US government for the first time since 1994 and only the third time in a generation.

6. He was okay
nothing special...he seemed to have an over enlarged ego... sometimes he would just go on and on about his life, what celebrities he knew, Andrew, and all sorts of things that had nothing to do with politics. He was a good liberal though and one has to wonder who will take his place.

7. A lot of problems for Huffington Post Columnists lately
In October Carol Anne Burger killed her ex-lover and then committed suicide:

Then Philip Busse had to resign as a visiting professor at St. Olaf College after admitting to stealing campaign signs:

This event was his third on the air strike at KGO. He was not ready for prime time.
