Robert Neil, the head of Cox Radio, which owns 80 stations in 18 markets, has gone and done it now.

He’s uttered the replacement for the infamous “N-WORD”.

Yep, sure enough he said “those people”.

Of course he was referring to those people that testified before a Congressional committee and who are demanding that radio stations pay singers every time their songs are played on the radio.

But reality can not be permitted to stand in the way of a good old-fashioned orgy of race baiting, so something has to give and that something may well be Neil’s job.

Sam Moore, of Sam and Dave fame, is so rilled that he first demanded an apology.
Now he’s just demanding that Neil be fired for saying:

I saw the testimony yesterday, and the reality is a lot of those people would be sitting in a shack somewhere in a small town if it wasn’t for the fact that radio supported their music when it was coming up.

The sad thing is that Neil is telling the truth.

Even sadder is that Sam Moore is off in la-la land and rather than singing “Hold on I’m coming”, it appears that he’s “going, going, gone”, as in around the bend.

Read it at Radio Exec Sparks Fury With Possible Racist Remarks and expect another Imus fiasco in the works.

And does anyone know how exactly what the hell a “Possible Racist Remark” is?
Is it kinda’ like the phrase “a little bit pregnant”?
