why was neo-con Radio host Chris Baker fired ?

[annm4peace]

this jerk is now up in Minnesota. the Neo-cons have been trying gain influence in the North.

Houston radio jock Chris Baker started at a neo-con Clear Channel in March. he already is making enemies, but I think he will find we aren't all Minnesota nice.

Do you know why Chris Baker was fired?

1. Kick him out of Minnestota too please

I have no idea why he was fired. I'm just giving you permission to get his ass fired in Minnesota too. Don't be nice on him. Give it to him with all you got. Lets send him packing to another world if we can. :evilgrin:

It's pretty hard to get fired from right wing radio in Texas. He really must have done something bad. Just being a jerk won't get you fired here.

DID RADIO TALK SHOW HOST CHRIS BAKER GO TOO FAR!
THE CIVIL RIGHTS GROUPS ARE ANGRY WITH HIM!

Members of LULAC and The NAACP are upset at radio talk show host Chris Baker. They claim the conservative host rants on the radio about the death of Officer Rodney Johnson sparked a hail of ugly calls to the Houston LULAC office. Baker has made it no secret about how he feels about illegal immigrants in Houston - so members of the civil rights groups say he encouraged his listeners to call the LULAC office and express how they feel about Johnson's death at the hands of an illegal immigrant. A receptionist for LULAC said she was frightened because one of the listeners called and threatened to kick her ass. Clear Channel communications - the owner of KTRH - stood behind their host and emphasize Baker is free to express his opinion. So what do you think....Did he go too far endangering individuals with his message or is it much ado about nothing?

This blog seems to be a winger who is disappointed in the firing:

Clear Channel Blunders Firing Houston Talk Show Sensation Chris Baker from KPRC/KTRH Radio in Puzzling Move for Ratings to Plummet as Chris Baker is Money in the Bank for Somebody

In a bizarro move, Clear Channel’s KPRC/KTRC Radio has fired Houston mega talkshow star Chris Baker from his afternoon and evening shows, but he was far-and-away their biggest moneymaker, so what gives?

On his shows, Chris addressed, with great humor (as he’s also a stand-up comedian and writer), the issues concerning Houstonians, and really, issues which concern all Americans who appreciate and seek to uphold the U.S. Constitution. He has a marvelously humorous way of painting the absurdity of much of what we see around us, such as: labor unions for illegal aliens (amazing!), Houston being a “sanctuary city” (which means there is no such thing as an illegal alien in Houston and the other “sanctuary cities”), how liberals preach “tolerance” for everybody except those who oppose them, and how La Raza (”The Race”) is a racist organization seeking to undermine the sovereignty of the U.S. under our Constitution, always with a sardonic and quite clever wit, which I’m sure makes his opponents borderline-furious, but that’s the radio biz, and Chris made them alot of money.
