Response to Original message
2. Bob Grant
"Bob’s regular names for blacks include "savages" and "subhumanoids." When black college students gathered at a New Jersey beach, Grant talked of "the savage mind, the primitive, primordial mentality.... As far as that stretch of beach there at Belmar, it's being written off by, shall we say, civilized people."
Referring to thousands of blacks who attended a celebrity basketball game involving rap stars, he spoke of "subhumanoids, savages, who would feel more at home careening along the sands of the Kalahari...people who, for whatever reason, have not become civilized."
The few blacks who call the show can expect to be insulted -- and perhaps derided as "shoeshine boys." In hanging up on a black caller, Grant said: "Get off my phone, you creep, we don't need the toilets cleaned right now." When he hangs up on black women, he yells: "I don't need the windows washed today."
Grant continually expresses violent fantasies. "I'd like to get every environmentalist, put 'em up against a wall, and shoot 'em," he once said. Last June, he spoke of his wish that police had machine-gunned New York City's gay pride parade. He frequently hopes for the deaths of those he dislikes -- Magic Johnson, Bill Clinton, Haitian refugees and others.
His regular listeners cannot escape the violent message. Several months ago, an obviously troubled man phoned the show: "I just wanted to call and vent the hurt and anger I'm experiencing now.... What could I do as a citizen of this country, which I believe in and have seen fall apart as I've been growing up?" Grant's response: "Well, get a gun and go do something, then." "

When Bob finally got fired from WABC for his racism, his listeners responnded by sending a torrent of death threats to Jesse Jackson, Bill Cosby, Colin Powell, Oprah Winfrey and just about every black person in public life.
And he’s pro "gun rights," of course.
"Bob Grant, who has New York’s top-rated show at wabc, says his defense of Second Amendment rights is principled not personal. "I hate guns," Grant told me. "I don’t want one in my house. But I don’t want to interfere with my neighbor’s right to own a gun." "

Especially since Grant hopes his neighbor will kill a subhumanoid or environmentalist.
