Right-Wing Radio Host Advocates Murdering Border Crossers Right-wing radio host Brian James of KFYI in Arizona recently advocated murder as a way of dealing with undocumented immigrants. An excerpt: What weâll do is randomly pick one night - every week - where we will kill whoever crosses the border. Step over there and you die. You get to decide whether itâs your lucky night or not. I think that would be more funâ¦[Iâd be] happy to sit there with my high-powered rifle and my night scope. The remarks prompted Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard and U.S. Attorney Paul Charlton to send a complaint to the FCC. Hereâs a portion: At no time during this hour did Mr. James disavow violence or indicate he was joking. In fact, when one caller suggested Mr. James did not really mean he wanted to shoot and kill immigrants, Mr. James retorted that in fact he did mean it. Immediately after this exchange, Mr. James engaged the next caller in a discussion about the correct ammunition to use when shooting border crossers to make sure the shots would be fatal. This type of threatening and inciting speech is dangerous and totally irresponsible for anyone, particularly a licensed body using public airways. Brian James has not apologized and claims his comments were âsatire.â Later, for a story on the KFYI website, James said âKFYI does not advocate shooting illegals. It might be fun, but they donât advocate it.â Make up your own mind about whether James meant it or not. You can listen to the audio HERE. (Click âKFYI audioâ to start the recording.)

this is a disgusting abuse of his position. reminds me of randi rhodes on air america, when she advocated the assassination of president bush. imo, this guy should be fired. radio hosts have been fired for far less but it is ultimately up to his employers
A point that isn't obvious? No.... Right wing's vision of modern day Jesus: <img src=http://www.severetiredamage.net/images/jesus_ps/kurt_suit.jpg> <img src=http://boloboffin.blogspot.com/jesus_gun.jpg>
I don't believe this radio host said anything anymore offensive than several / many of the illegal alien protesters (SUCH AS "Osama Bin Laden Rules... Zarqawi the Gringo Killer... Yes! Yes!" "This is our country... Go back to Europe..." "Go back to England... Go home gringo!" "Too bad Osama Bin Laden didn't have a hydrogen bomb to drop on that Jewish shit hole called Manhattan...") But of course, I am sure that the faggotty litttle regressive web site you posted --thinkprogress.pig-- had NOTHING to say about the belligerent and racist illegal alien protests.
It is amusing watching the right wingers grip so hard, as their fearless leader drops weekly in the polls, and the best laid plans of mice and morons goes south. The party that has full control of govenment, yet acts as if they are powerless..... Oh, and I think you are very confused about who is the regressive party...
