        Fired from radio station for pro-Bush, pro-troops, anti-NPR stand.
        \_ insulting public radio all day when your show is on
           a public radio station is pretty lame-  danh
           \_ so is insulting "big gub'mint" on a taxpayer-supported
              machine, where you got your education at the best public
              university in the country.  but that doesn't seem to stop
              people.  -tom
              \_ How about a government supported by our taxes but not
                 elected by us?  One that's fomenting terrorism abroad
                 and holding innocent people as terrorists at home?
                 \_ what about it?  That seems consistent with support of
                    public education, if only from a fiscal perspective.  -tom
           \_ It was reported in the link that he did not insult public
              radio per se, he insulted the content of public radio.
              Public radio need not be bland and un-opinionated, and it
              need not utter only the opinion of one side.

In between the vintage Detroit R&B and soul music he plays, Hughes has been talking up the war in Iraq, expressing his support for the troops and for President Bush, and denigrating National Public Radio. On his show this past Sunday, among other things, Hughes was explaining why the station's fund-raiser had been postponed: "Because (Bush) has the (guts) to get up to do the right thing after 18 attempts to get everybody to help. But most of what he had opinions about was not controversial. Use of this site indicates your agreement to the 107 Terms of Service (updated 12/19/2002).
