Jaz McKay's Obama post — hate speech or harmless humor?
We posted this story today. What do you think — is this a serious slur as the Obama folks contend or harmless humor? (Attached is a screen grab the Obama folks sent us). — Government editor Christine Bedell
Fake Obama slogans anger local supporters Local supporters of presidential hopeful Barack Obama are upset with radio personality Jaz McKay for posting what they say are inflammatory fake slogans about Obama’s campaign. The slogans, which appeared on McKay’s page of the KNZR 1560 AM Web site, included “Obama ‘08” followed by “Hope. Change. Dead honkeys.,” “kill white folks” and “Kill Whitey!” Obama pledge delegate Uduak Ntuk of Bakersfield said he was shocked and surprised by the slogans, which he called hate speech. “It’s actions like that that give Bakersfield a bad name,” Ntuk said. Station Vice President/General Manager Steve Darnell said that McKay did not create the slogans, he found them on another Web site and posted them to his own. McKay goes to a wide variety of news and humor sites on the Internet and posts numerous things he finds to his own site, Darnell said. The slogans were up for about a week, which is the normal amount of time McKay’s postings are online before replaced by something new. McKay will not be disciplined, Darnell said. “The listeners know what he’s about,” Darnell said. “They get his sarcasm and his tongue-in-cheek humor.” — Staff writer Jason Kotowski, jkotowski@bakersfield.com 52 comments from 29 users

Yep, there's no such thing as bad publicity, there's only publicity or no publicity. But, remember Jaz, lest you forget, your comedy career stumbled. Stick to hate, you're much better at it, I support Jaz's right to be vile, it's his constitutional right to rag on people, just as the opposite is true. posted by
