MORE MALLOY FALLOUT

Chaos Continues, Flanders Set As Replacement






With a replacement now set for the recently- fired, left- wing extremist Mike Malloy, Air America Radio is forced to deal with continuing fallout over his mysterious removal from the airwaves.

According to an inside source, the hot- headed Malloy's abrupt termination from the liberal talk network has caused a serious internal rift, with some demanding that he be reinstated. But a sponsored program hosted by "progressive" activist Laura Flanders has already been placed in the timeslot and is ready to launch in the coming weeks.

One big problem: several affiliates are balking at the moves and may refuse to carry Flanders, which may keep her off of as many as a half- dozen of Air America's largest stations. Without them, it seems almost pointless to move forward with her new weeknight program.


At YouTube, there's a Save Malloy campaign underway, utilizing a series of video clips. Click below to view the most recent installment (creepy "progressive" alert: there's a great deal of bizarre anti- conservative hate here):





In the meantime, John at RightWingNews speculates that some of Malloy's particularly extreme rhetoric may have been the trigger for his sudden dismissal:

Air America's Mike Malloy: "You've Got Muslims In New Jersey. Why Not Go Kill Some?"

Here's (now fired) Air America host, Mike Malloy, filling in for Randi Rhodes on August 28, (about 3/4's of the way through the show):


Mike: Ray is calling from New Jersey. Welcome to the program. Thanks for holding on.

Ray: You were asking for a conservative or a Bush supporter to call so I just thought I'd call.

Mike: Well, thanks. Have a great day. What are you calling about?

Ray: Well, I support the president and I'm thankful there's a conservative in the white house during these times when terrorists want to kill us because we're not Muslim.

Mike: Wow. Is that why they hate us? Because we're not Muslims?

Ray: Well, those two guys, they had guns held to their, the two reporters, the cameramen? They had guns held to their heads. Were sworn to change their religion to be set free or they would have been killed. Is that what we're up against here?

Mike: I guess so. It's a terrible world. Thank god George Bush is in power to stop that sort of thing from happening. Right?

Ray: Don't you think we should get them before they get us?

Mike: Oh yeah, that makes sense. Let's go kill� I'll tell you what. Where do you live? You live in New Jersey, Ray?

Ray: Yeah, I live in..

Mike: Are there any Muslims in New Jersey?

Ray: I'm sure that there are.

Mike: Okay, why don't you find some and kill them?

Ray: I'm in the northeast area in New Jersey.

Mike: Frankly I don't care where you live in New Jersey. I'm just saying, next time you see a Muslim why not blow, why not kill him?

Ray: ha. Why is the liberal thing�

Mike: Ray, Ray, Ray, I have a question for you. Answer the question or I�m gonna leap through the phone and rip your ears off. Here's the question, Ray. Why not go kill a Muslim? Don't leave it up to the soldiers, don't leave it up to the Middle East. You've got Muslims in New Jersey. Why not go kill some?

Ray: Cause some liberal attorney will lock me up.

Mike: No, no no, Ray, answer the question. Are you going to do one of these cowardly republican right-wing things on me. Let me ask you something, since you can't answer that question� Shut up!

(and the conversation goes on for a few more seconds before Mike hangs up on him)

Sounds like a host worth fighting for! Rehire him at once!
