Bubba the Love Sponge Takes On the Gay Agenda

As I was driving towards my office this morning, I heard a popular radio personality, Bubba the Love Sponge, use the word “fag” while advertising an event.  Being an activist for equality, I recognize the dangers and harm that are caused by the use of this word, as it perpetuates hate and bigotry.  The use of such words, especially by someone who is listened to nationwide, also sends a message to others that it is OK to use the word.  I find the word to be a derogatory term, whether or not the intent was or not, especially since so many have been beaten and killed while being called this word.

I decided not to let this one slide, so I called to lodge a complaint with the program manager, and found myself live on the show.  Listen to what he had to say to my objection by clicking the play button below.

He even has a poll on his website asking if the word “fag” is offensive.  Check it out by clicking here.

Talk Radio Network host Michael Savage has been dropped from a Mississippi radio network after making defamatory comments about autistic children on his show last week. The Savage Nation host, who has repeatedly bashed the gay community on air, called autistic children ‘brats’ and said autism is nothing more than a ‘fraud’. Savage has also lost at least one major advertiser over the inflammatory remarks.

A network of seven stations in Mississippi has announced they will no longer carry the Savage Nation radio program following derogatory remarks made by host Michael Savage about autistic children.

Steve Davenport, head of the Super Talk network in Mississippi, called Savage’s comments “beyond inexcusable.”

“Effective immediately, Michael Savage and his Savage Nation Radio Show have been cancelled on all Super Talk Mississippi stations,” Davenport said, according to the New York Daily News.
