Did Bubba go too far with racial rant?

Bubba the Love SpongeLast week, the day before Thanksgiving, Bubba the Love Sponge went off on a brief but vicious tirade against a caller, going so far as to use a racial slur against him (repeatedly). It's a rant that have some asking if Bubba went too far, even on "uncensored" satellite radio.

The segment (audio of which can be heard below) involves a Hispanic caller named Will who called in to complain about an issue involving two illlegal immigrants and a shooting.

It's hard to say whether or not Bubba actually went "too far" in this situation (it's obviously a matter of your own opinion). On both Sirius and XM, racially charged jokes aren't necessarily a rare occurrence - but they're almost never directed at someone with any level of virulence.

Listen to the audio below (WARNING: Explicit Language!):

(Length is roughly 2 minutes.)

It's no secret that Bubba has been in negotiations with Sirius over his contract. One Orbitcast reader suggested that this could be a sign that he's practically "daring" Sirius to suspend him, or that he's at the end of his rope and just doesn't care anymore. Whatever the motivation, it happened. The question is, did he go too far... what do you think?

Bubba should be fired!

FIRE HIS ASS!!! Get Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson on his ass....lol

Yes this was taken way too far. It was awful of him to say such things. There should be fines and a suspension for this.

as usual bubba is late to the party oand a already did this shctick hes a publicity hound nothing more.

He said "spick". So what? Should we ban mob movies because Italians use the word "nigger" too? What don't people get about uncensored talk radio?? And I'm no Bubba fan.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS!

Did he go too far? Ask the 8 people who listen to him....

While I do not think it should matter since it is Satellite radio, I will say that there is a difference between dropping n-bombs in movies like pulp fiction or whatever and getting mad at a person and screaming it to thier face.

When racial stuff is said in an argument like this it isnt to be shocking or for entertainment value, its in an attempt to hurt the individual who it is being spoken to, which is much worse.

Im just mad the disclaimer didnt say "warning: contains actual audio of Bubba's show"

yech

Hey Ryan,
Who cares, Street talk is everywhere. WTF are you trying to prove with a post like this. Before we get the O&A/XM argument going, O&A were not suspended for what they said, they were suspended for insubordination. On a subscription based, uncensored, adult channel this is a NO BIG DEAL Mcgillicutty. Imus was shit canned because he was on FM.

"oand a already did this shctick "

exactly...all 0.0 are ..SHCTICK HACK MORNING ZOO RADIO!

it kills you 4 or 5 pests that news is howard and bubba...the next 0.0 story will be..."0.0 not renewed with CBS and 0.0 not included in merger"

I don't like the guy at all and would not care if he got fired. But he should not get fired for this. It's an explicit and uncensored "stream" on Satellite radio. Sirius may not agree with him and not pick up his contract, but that's a different deal. He did not go too far with the spic comments.

I find it shameful that Orbitcast would even post this. Way to fan the fires of intolerance. Maybe I won't be visiting this site anymore.

Boo hoo. He can say whatever he wants.

Of course, someone would have to have been listening in order to be offended, so he's off the hook.

If you don't like it, turn off the radio.

Just one more post... I'm absolutely ashamed of you Ryan. I can't believe that you would post this. We've been fighting intolerance for years and you know that. You are officially deleted off my bookmarks.

Well, well, well, deleted off ICD's bookmarks. Was that a joke?

A few people have already mentioned that Bubba compares to a tree falling, so I'll leave that one alone. Here's the test, as I see it: were you trying to be funny? Racist, stupid, insensitive humor is bad humor. Race-baiting is less absolvable. Still, the question might be why there's a line at all rather than where it ought to be. We can all turn our radios to other stations... or in Bubba's case, leave them on the other stations they were already set to.

It's tempting to speculate that he gave up on his negotiations and wanted a way out that generated a few headlines. He'll get suspended, reject the suspension or some other such nonsense, and his time on Sirius goes down in flames. Now, I know he doesn't get along with O&A, but business makes for strange bedfellows... I wonder if he's got his fingers crossed against that merger now.


Hey ICD needs to relax....

This site is about SatRad and this is a story that should be covered. Should he be fired...No but I would like him to have a Hispanic guest and use those words and not be such a big man with a caller. I don't hear his show and he ahs the freedom unless his bosses say otherwise but he did sound like a complete jerk-off in that clip.

This is the exact bullshit that happened with O&A. It only takes a few websites that are "outraged" to get a story moving. It's bullshit. After what happened with O&A, it's shameful that Ryan is fueling the same bullshit fires.

"Just one more post... I'm absolutely ashamed of you Ryan. I can't believe that you would post this. We've been fighting intolerance for years and you know that. You are officially deleted off my bookmarks"

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
IM ASHAMED OF YOU
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm saying this as someone that has never listened to O&A. I simply find people that propagate this so-called "intolerance" to be pathetic at best. Give it fucking break. Waaa, he said beaner. Waaaa, Imus said nappy headed hos. As long as websites keep propagating this shit it's never going to get out of the media.

STERN FAN WHO THINKS BUBBA SHOULD BE FIRED, NOT CAUSE OF ANYTHING HE SAID BUT BECAUSE HE IS A FAT HACK WHO CAME CHEAP AND HAS RUN HIS COURSE

you mean people listen to this guy. My question is "would he talk to you like that in person"? If not he is just a bully, talking with a mic, knowing no one can hit him in his mouth.

ACTING is one thing. SAYING IT with the direct intent to be hateful is another. This is plain wrong.

How many people has Howard wished cancer on??

You guys miss the point big time.

im sure al sharpton and jesse jackson will really care that bubba said "spick" or "beaner."

the only thing thats wrong with this clip is it involved Sirius. If it was said on XM Ryan would not have made this blog posting.

I watched the "Bad News Bears" this weekend... if half of that movie was played these days, people would be in an uproar, (from kids drinking beer to niggers, spics, jews, and wops). Give me a break. We've become a nation of pussies.

I BOUGHT and chose to watch the Bad News Bears. I BOUGHT and chose to listen to Bubba. This idea that ABSOLUTE free speech does not apply to PURCHASED media is a dangerous road. Acting outraged because somebody that you PAY to listen to said something outrageous is a fucking joke.

Yes, Bubba went overboard...I understand sometimes you say things you wish you didn't in the heat of the moment, but the fact that he seems unrepentant is not good.

Personally, I don't think he should be fired. Sirius should suspend him, yes, but fire him? No.

I am more pissed at Ryan for these Shock jock flame bait posts on slow news days.
Also, I hate to say it but Bubba was half right about the illegal aliens robbing places because they are undocumented and can't find work.

Does this mean I should stop scrubbing the tub with Spic and Span? Well, not me, but my illegal immigrant housekeeper...

You people are idiots. Bubba has 10x more listeners than Ryan has readers. How is he fanning the "flames of intolerance" by posting the audio?

If anything, this is great for Bubba.

I'm an O&A fan and I am also a fan of free speech as far as satellite radio is concerned.. This is PAY radio and if you don't like it, turn it off.. change the channel... listen to the easy listening music channel.. I don't agree with everything that Opie and Anthony say and can be offended by some of it, but they tend to be equal opportunity offenders.. they leave no race or creed untouched... So to those who are offended just get over your selves.. It's a radio show.. I've never heard it but I can guess what it is like...

how many "last post" is ICD going to have? just leave already if you're so offended. say hi to the folks in mayberry for us.

Let's be honest...illegal immigrants aren't really people anyway. This is a non issue.

I remember a while ago there was this place called America where you could say what you wanted.I think that if I didnt like what I heard,I could change the channel too....or not subscribe at all..I know,I know crazy talk.....but that was at least 7 years ago.....maybe I was just dreaming.Aint Bushtopia keen? You better not say NO!

Waaa...life is hard, wear a f****** helmet...how many people can honestly say theyve never used any 'off color' words towards people before? Either in public or just hanging with friends? Who hasnt been made fun of or called names during your entire life? It bothered me until I was about , um, 10 years old. Since my parents were born in Germany, Ive heard kraut more times than I can remember. Unless someones calling you that while beating you with a tire iron, get the f*** over it. I dont much care what people say about me. If I spent my life worrying about what people say or think if theyre not relevant to my life, I really wouldnt have much of a life now would I? Grow up people...

boy I must be getting old. I rememeber when dropping an anvil on someone's head was funny. Now all you have to do is call someone a name, call for a rape or have sex in a church. Now thats entertainment...

Yes I am a dumb ass

Let me guess...ICD is hispanic.

"Let me guess...ICD is hispanic."

Perhaps you should read back through and see what exactly I'm offended by... I have NO problem with what Bubba said, I do however have a problem with a website trying to make an issue out of it. It was a joke, period. The original article is what I found offensive. I believe in free speech and this little "waaaa, he said spic" phony fucking outrage is disgusting.

Oh no! ICD IS OFFENDED! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!! If you don't like it, go to another website.

Let me guess, are you gay too?

Still here, I see. Thought you were leaving about 4 hours ago?

And you are hispanic.

I see you're about as bright as the Boots from SFN.

I might drop a few emails to Ryans sponsors if he's gonna try to start a little witch hunt against Bubba like we saw previously with O&A and Imus. How can somebody run a satellite website and even post things like:

"It's a rant that have some asking if Bubba went too far, even on "uncensored" satellite radio."

"It's no secret that Bubba has been in negotiations with Sirius over his contract. One Orbitcast reader suggested that this could be a sign that he's practically "daring" Sirius to suspend him, or that he's at the end of his rope and just doesn't care anymore. Whatever the motivation, it happened."


That is all about trying to instigate trouble over FREE SPEECH. I pay to listen to uncensored radio.

It sounds like even his staff thought he was going a bit overboard. At about a minute and 14 seconds into it, you hear one of his sidekicks say "Ok ok, easy easy" and all of his staff stops laughing.

Do I think he went to far? Hell no. You get what you pay for, and if you are listening to uncensored radio, you are getting uncensored radio. Besides, the caller actually called THEM to chastise THEM about what THEY had been saying first of all, so he HAD to be expecting to get flamed. Was it harsh? Sure. Was it wrong? Sure. There are so many people in this world that have no idea what the hell they are talking about when it comes to illegal immigrants, and that obviously includes some people that are posting comments here. But who cares? If you are listening to a shock jock, you cannot piss your pants every time you get shocked!

"I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire

"But who cares? If you are listening to a shock jock, you cannot piss your pants every time you get shocked!"

Bingo. And that's also why you can't go posting articles like this because it invites douchebags like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the rest of the "moral police" to want to come over and start telling us what we can and cannot listen to. The last thing we need is this article getting linked to some main stream website and then have some hispanic moral jerkoff deciding he wants to come tell us what we can/can't listen to.

Hey ICD, will you shut the hell up?

Write a letter to the sponsors of the website? In YOUR OWN WORDS, that would be "That is all about trying to instigate trouble over FREE SPEECH"

Ryan can think what he wants, I can think what I want, and YOU can think what you want. You will notice according to my post above, that I agree with you on this situation. But just as I say in that post, it applies just as well to you here. If you dont like it.... TURN IT THE HELL OFF. You have said goodbye multiple times, you have reportedly "deleted Ryan off your bookmarks"... so either leave or shut the hell up already? You argue about free speech for Bubba, let Ryan have his too.

Read my above post. When you run a website, you have a responsibility. I'm not offended by Ryan writing whatever the fuck he wants- but I would have a problem if this hits some mainstream media and all of the sudden we have moral police assholes coming after satrad even more than they already are. I haven't seen this "issue" brought up anywhere until orbitcast and now it's all over the web.

"Maybe I won't be visiting this site anymore"

Or maybe I'll stay here for the rest of the day and complain about how offended I am.

And if you guys REALLY want offensive...


How about we talk about Ned wanting to have a 3-some with the father, son and the holy ghost- including having sex with Jesus' hands. I mean, come on Ryan, if you want to be "offended", let's get REALLY offended.

Welcome to reality in the free world! Yes,my jaw dropped(because it was on the air) but Bubba has the right to free speech and if no crime was comitted the the BEANER wouldn't have been blasted and the conversation wouldn't have occured
God bless free speech,Even if your shocked by it!
Have a ploblem with it? Cancel your sub or don't listen to shock jocks.

Kudos Bubba!

Cmon. We can let our kids watch commercials with a bunch of broads dancing around in circles with their camel toes hanging all over the tv screen but a caller in to a satrad radio station cant get verbally abused? When does the public become immune to the words they have used for years? ( hush hush) If anyone took knowledge to the topic, was it really a Spic issue or a filthy illegal immigrant issue? Bad taste at best but isnt that what we pay for? Open discussion, Open comments, Initial thoughts brought to the table? We have many forums to agree or disagree with everything these days why try to stop it? There have been how many "divided people" that have grouped together marching upon the White House yet "we" as a whole "united" cant control the war our president has waged?
Old George Bush could single out my mother by name and call her every filthy word in the book and I would still want the answers that lead to his administrative actions... Bubba used bad form on a call to his station, our president used bad form that will effect our childrens children. For Christ sakes "spic " isnt even a bad work compared to anyone admitting they listen to Opie and Anthony let alone paying for it.................0.0!

Bubba is a douche bag. He loves to call latinos "spics" and "wetbacks" but doesnt dare say "nigger". Fuck that guy.

Also, to whoever wrote the article, please write exactly what he said and not leave us guessing. It's ok for you write the word, you're the one reporting the story. Thanks.

Is that why he put out a comic book called "Nigga Man"?? Or, how about the OJ song, "Dumb Nigga"?? I'm a honky cracker white boy. It's a joke, man. You realize how many Americans get shot to death daily, and this is what we're worried about??

wow...i just heard it. that shit was worse than i thought. i cant wait for the day bubba is out on the street. should he be fired? wow. that was pretty much on the fence with the wind leaning him towards a firing.

we all know we pay for FREE SPEECH radio, but this is more in the realms of HATE RADIO. And its up to SIRIUS to say if they want a guy calling their subscribers racial slurs.

I say "FIRE".

Hate speech IS free speech and the sooner we get this the better. The KKK is welcome to exist, Luis Farrakhan can call jews "devils" and Jesse Jackson can call NY "himey town". This IS free speech. Like it or not... once you protest what you find "offensive", others are going to find YOUR speech offensive.

Bubba was just telling it the way it is. The caller was an imbecil arguing that anyone should be able to break into your house and you not do shit but help them pack your stuff up. Yes, bubba probably shouldn't have said what he did, but the caller was an idiot.

Radio Gold!

he does have a point..paying for morning zoo hack radio is FAR FAR more offensive

good night..got to get some shut eye before the big day of "make up stuff" tuesday on those wacky morning guys greg and tony

wocka wocka wocka
honk honk

Hell no, he didn't go to far. And there's absolutely no reason why he should be fired or suspended. If you don't want to hear stuff like that, change the channel. Bubba is on an uncensored channel and listeners should be prepared to hear uncensored content. To call for his firing or suspension is simply trying to push one's opinion on others.

And for the record, I would never listen to Bubba. Or his mentor. I'd rather listen to Rapekit & Crawlspace.

Im not a fan of Bubba the Love Sponge, and im not going to defend what he said as a good thing, but that said, who cares? Its just words. He's on satellite radio, and his programming is about being shocking. In the words of Opie and Anthony, why does radio have to be nice? Why is radio being held to a standard where they have to make people feel good?

This kind of dialog is great, and Im all in favor of it, but calling for someone's firing because they used a word that you dont like is just cowardly and harmful. You can't BAN something just because it offends someone. Can you honestly say that there is any movie or book you have ever read, that isn't guilty of insulting or offending someone?

Support diverse programming in our media and the right to be controversial.

yes, I am a cunt.

ARE YOU WITH US HOWARD?

1) Bubba really is racist.

2) Bubba should be fired for being a lame hack, not for using racial slurs. Why the hell does this country care so much about racial slurs? I'd be much more concerned about the fact that this unfunny hippopotomous is actually racist against spics.

3) There will always be close-minded biggotry. Making it socially unacceptable to use certain words will not change that.

ICD said: "When you run a website, you have a responsibility."

Funny... that's what all the moral police say about radio personalities. Who's the hypocrite now?

This story isn't going to turn into a huge deal like O&A/Imus because it wasn't directed towards a black person. You can get off your soapbox now ICD.

Im not a fan of Bubba but, I think he has the right to say what he wants. Free Speech is fading in this country...wake up people.

uncensored "free speech radio" does not exist. its a myth! sat radio is a business..if subscribers drop, or advertisers leave sirius, it will be a problem.

when someone is angry, and uses racial slurs people tend to think thats the truth coming out. racial humor in the context of a joke is alot different.

I love it when people like ICD claim they're never visiting a site anymore, yet here they are still commenting away. Bull-effing-shite you're not coming here anymore. You're not fooling anyone, douchelord.

I hate Bubba (And Howard) but it is his show and it should be UNCENSORED. If people don't like it, stop listening. If too many tune him out, he will go, but if people listen, he stays.

Uncensored means jusyt that. Enough cray-baby crap.

I say leave Bubba... I don't like him, but I am a grown up so I just don't listen. I do not need some whiney special interest group or the govenrment telling me what is ok.

Do I like what he said? Of course not, but the sun does not rise and fall on what people say on the air.

"It is not what you are called... it is what you answer to"
-Comedian D.L. Hugley commenting on Leno about the state of Radio

But when did it become cool for an on-air host to *personally* and virulently call a caller a racial epithet?

That's what's different about the Bubba soundbite. In the desire to trash and humiliate a caller (after he confirmed that the caller was, as he suspected, Hispanic) Bubba used the "s-word" - a word as loaded as the "n-word". Imagine if Bubba had said, three times, "you f-cking n-gger". Would it have been more offensive? Less? (It's probably true that Bubba'd be in much hotter water at the moment than he currently is.)

In the interest of fairness, you really should post the audio from when they came BACK from break and Bubba apologized and explained his comments... Or maybe its just more inflammable to post one little snippet?

the real crime is that people are listening to this piece of shit show... lets hope sirius doesn't resign this douche and moves jason ellis to his time slot on 101

I'm more concerned with the overuse of the word "Fuck" on the air. Once or twice, sporadic use is OK because that's how most of us talk in real life, but he was f--in interjecting it between f--in every f---in word. It's so fake sounding.

Talk about an amateur. He's nothing. So he said spic. Big whoopie. I'm a spic and I don't care.

Well, for whatever crazy reason, the audio won't play here. Not sure if it has something to do with my screenreading software not being able to recognize the button to click, but I wish there was a regular mp3 I could download of this clip, instead of it being imbeded into the site with flash. Ryan, what say you? Do you think you could do something? I've never really liked Bubba as a rule but I would like to at least hear the audio before I judge what happened.

All Bubba did is say what people already feel in their hearts.

All Bubba did is say what people already feel in their hearts.

No, of course Bubba shouldn't be suspended or fired... that is just stupid.

Will the Howard fans at least back this one up ? or will they cower in another corner, shouting insults from a safe distance, claiming Howard is still safe from losing his free speech and doing nothing to help protect free speech ?

Anyone calling O&A hacks and also listen to Bubba are pretty big fan of hacks themselves.

80+ posts here and not a single mention in the mainstream press. No Al Sharpton. No Jesse Jackson. Just no one listening.

Who cares what he says. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. Big deal what he said. Shit, black people and mexicans talk like this all the time, but the minute we talk about them this way, it's racism. who cares.... if you don't like it, don't listen to it

This bubba is a boring douche, and Howard Stern is a Old washed up has been!!

pfreak -

which is the exact same thing that happened when bubba supposedly saved a man from suicide. i agree, no one is listening.

Meh, I don't like Bubba but he didn't go too far. First of all, satellite radio is UNCENSORED, if you don't like what you are hearing then you can turn the channel. It's a pay service and it's allowed to be outrageous. Secondly, you need to know the case that they were talking about so stop with the fucking moral outrage.

O&A shouldn't have been suspended, Imus shouldn't have been fired, and (cue the Chris Crocker voice) leave Bubba alone.

Bubba should be fired, fired for calling himself "Bubba the Love Sponge". The comments were fine. I used to like Jimmy Norton, but now, I LOVE him!

You know what? You are right. Ryan runs a website and he does have a responsibility... To post what ever the hell he wants. If he wants to post a picture of his dad dressed in drag listeing to an XM portable, that is his business because it is HIS WEBSITE AND HE CAN DO WHAT EVER THE HELL HE WANTS WITH IT. If people dont like it, they dont have to read it do they? Just like with SatRad. There is no reason to censor anything because if people dont like it, they dont have to listen.

I pay for XM, because I can hear adult conversation that is shocking and offensive. When O&A start talking about topics that I could care less about, or don't want to listen to, I have the power to change to channel.

Do I believe he took it too far? Yes. But this is the point: he is on pay-for-usage medium. You pay for the service, you know it's going to be adult conversation, get over it.

Imus should have never been fired. Fake outrage is what got him. I bet close to 95% of people that were "offended" by his comments didn't hear the audio until after it was broadcasted on TV.

Isn't it time that we become adults, and really stop giving words power? The word "cunt" is non-offensive to me because I refuse to let it bother me. Grow up and get past it.

Uncensored radio is just that...uncensored... YOu wanted it you got it! .. The caller used profanity with the jocks ALOT too he was asking for whatever he got calling in and cursing at them. If you dont want to hear that language listen to good old skool Radio (terrestrial)
FIrst you complain about restrictions and then complain because there are no restrictions on the unrestricted....
Leave Bubba alone...he's just a jock doing job.. OR tur n the channel....it's easy he shouldnt be fired over crossing a line that doesn't exist.....

Hey Ryan,
I gotta say that I love the site (been a fan for a few years now), but this is the stuff that starts not only flame wars but starts the BIG media suits rallying against satellite radio. Imus did something wrong, but should not have lost his job. Same thing with Bubba. In my opinion, if the NYTs was reporting this and then people started jumping on the bandwagon discussing this issue, by all means report it. But don't start the conversation, because it could start a slippery slope where satellite radio is censored in the end.

Thanks for the site, I really appreciate it.
-Matt

i think bubba kicks ass. this was funny. so funny

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

wow he is awful. Who listens to this awfulness is my question. As for what he said, he has that right in this free country of ours. It's not against the law to call someone names, at least not yet ! I've always said if you don't like something you hear or see, then turn it off and don't take part. I truely didn't even know if Bubba was still on siruis or not. Wow again awul radio,

You can pretty much get away with calling any group anything except for black people. That's because black people have such a huge reaction to the n-word. I'm black and I don't care about it when it's said as long as my check still clears. But alot of black people do react.

In other words, you're not going to see George Lopez and Carlos Mencia forming marches over this.
