Dennis and Judi off 101.5 - bigots

Good! They have always been rotten, have never been funny and finally got their comeuppance.

This is simple. Don't target people for religion.


Malloy and Franco had been discussing Grewal’s recent order to suspend marijuana prosecutions, when Malloy said he couldn’t remember Grewal’s name — and told Franco “I’m just going to say the guy with the turban.”

The pair continued to call Grewal “Turban Man” throughout the segment.

The comments caught widespread attention on social media and in national news stories late Wednesday evening, around the time Gov. Phil Murphy released a statement saying he was “outraged” by the comments. An audio recording of the segment was cited frequently on social media as well.

Murphy, in a statement released just after 9 p.m., described the hosts’ comments as “abhorrent and xenophobic.” His statements were echoed in similar criticisms from the state ACLU, state Sen. Vin Gopal, Hoboken Mayor Mayor Ravi Bhalla and others.

was a 49 year old Sikh gentleman, Balbir Singh Sodhi, the father of two children. Mr. Sodhi was shot three times, outside of the Chevron gas station he owned in Mesa, AZ, while arranging a large display of American flags.

His assailant, Frank Roque, wanted to "kill Muslims" for the attack on NYC. He was tried and convicted of first degree murder (along with other charges for other attacks he carried out that day, including one on a Lebanese-American man) and sentenced to death, later commuted to life in prison with no chance of parole.

To add insult to injury, at the 10-year anniversary of 9/11, Arizona Representative John Kavanaugh (R), sponsored a bill that would have removed Mr. Sodhi's name from an Arizona memorial, because according to Kavanaugh, "he was not a victim of 9/11." Further, Kavanaugh wanted to destroy "the myth that following 9/11, Americans went into a xenophobic rage against foreigners. That's not true. America's reaction towards foreigners was commendable."

Governor Jan Brewer vetoed the bill after public outrage reached national levels.

In life, most wounds are self inflicted. Hopefully this one will be a career changing event for the both of these clowns.

to these classless morons from Mr. Grewal:

@nj1015: My name, for the record, is Gurbir Grewal. I'm the 61st Attorney General of NJ. I'm a Sikh American. I have 3 daughters. And yesterday, I told them to turn off the radio.
