FIRE Jay Severin
Boston-area radio talk show host Jay Severin was suspended this week for making highly inflammatory and racist remarks on his talk show about Mexicans. The station didn't go far enough and Severin should lose his job

Here are just some of his prize quotes from the show:
"So now, in addition to venereal disease and the other leading exports of Mexico - women with mustaches and VD - now we have swine flu."
He described Mexicans as "the world's lowest of primitives."
"It's millions of leeches from a primitive country come here to leech off you and, with it,
they are ruining the schools, the hospitals, and a lot of life in America."
He also said that emergency rooms had "become essentially condos for Mexicans."
And on a 2004 broadcast, he compared Muslims to a fifth column in this country and said in response to a caller who thought people should reach out to Muslims: "You think we should befriend them; I think we should kill them."

Dear (name of advertiser),

As you are an advertiser on radio station WTTK, I would like to know if you endorse the recent remarks on that station by Jay Severin about Mexicans:

"So now, in addition to venereal disease and the other leading exports of Mexico - women with mustaches and VD - now we have swine flu." He described Mexicans as "the world's lowest of primitives." He also said "It's millions of leeches from a primitive country come here to leech off you and, with it, they are ruining the schools, the hospitals, and a lot of life in America."

I thank you in advance for your reply.
