He insists he has been falsely quoted and has never made the remarks attributed to him such as "Slavery had its merits ...... the streets were safe at night" and other bigoted insults. He has dared the media to come up with the clips of any such statements by him.

The comments about a black quarterback that got him fired from ESPN were provocative and perhaps insensitive, but racist? Debatable.

Has anyone actually heard him say something clearly racist on the air?
I am not a regular listener to his program. From the times I have been exposed to his pronouncements I have found him to express his opinions forcefully and with the flair of an entertainer. Sometimes I agree with his positions and sometimes I disagree.

I do not see him as a racist.
