The Mountain Goat reports:
Most people these days agree that racism, whether blatant or subtle, isn't acceptable. Even Murtaugh's Zeb Bell, host of "Zeb At the Ranch" (broadcast on Rupert radio station KBAR in the Magic Valley) adamantly protests that he's not racist and is offended by the accusation.
However, on September 24, he and an unidentified caller discussed Senator Barack Obama and his supporters, denigrating these supporters as ignorant, lazy minorities with the caller even resorting to using a mocking, racist voice while making his points.
It was disgusting and vile but it is not unusual. This sort of thing happens every day on Zeb Bell's show.
Is this acceptable dialogue?
Is it racist?
You decide.
Listen to an unedited clip of the September 24th show, recorded during the 9 a.m. hour (transcript follows):
