Clip from tomorrow’s show is now on You Tube. Alt-Right Founder Richard B. Spencer was punched in the head this weekend. Some liberals, including former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau, delighted in this act of violence which left a humiliated Spencer with a black eye. Our side loses the moral high ground when we resort to savagery. Stay focused on working within the law and winning elections.
Professor of Law Jody Armour joins the show today to talk with David about Bill Cosby, Michael Brown and Eric Garner, and the state of racism in America today.
A thorough collection of Anthony Cumia’s tweets leading to his firing.
UPDATE: This is a little confusing. Anthony Cumia claims he’s being censored for his tweets, but then he took his tweets down. If he doesn’t want SiriusXm to censor him, maybe he shouldn’t be censoring himself.
Luckily below we still have the tweets even though Anthony Cumia has deleted six months worth of tweets from his account, including the ones that got him fired.
Sirius has just fired shock jock Anthony Cumia for a string of tweets considered by management to be racist. We are providing you with a thorough collection of Anthony Cumia’s tweets he posted this week leading to his firing. That’s because there has been much discussion in the blogosphere all morning as to whether Sirius made the right decision removing him from “Opie And Anthony.”
The collection of Cumia’s tweets was assembled by Journalist Craig Mansfield. You decide. Are these racist? Are these violent? Are these sexist? Does a corporation have the right to distance itself from these tweets by firing the person responsible for them?
It’s all below, you make the call.
The government can’t censor speech, but can a corporation censor it’s own employees? If you were African American or a woman would you find these tweets dangerous? Mr. Cumia is also a proud member of the NRA. Do these views reflect those of the NRA’s? And should the NRA reserve the right to suspend his membership if he crosses a line into hate speech? What is hate speech? And is it hate speech if you’re making a living off of it?
Finally Anthony Cumia says the woman hitting him was lucky he didn’t shoot her because he was carrying a gun that evening. I asked Mr. Cumia if he had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, but he hasn’t responded. You still need a permit in New York City.
Happy 4th of July. We’re a fascinating nation. And it’s a miracle we have all stayed together as a family.
Apparently, it is fine for comedians to do whatever they want. But if a woman objects to having her picture taken at random on a public street, she is a crazed feminist making unreasonable demands and using sexual harassment as a cover for all sorts of unreasonable behavior. And if black men step up when a black woman is the target of racial and sexual slurs, now that is just too transgressive.
“What I love about ‘The David Feldman Show’ is I’m listening to a middle-aged guy getting radicalized, but he still can’t stop telling dick jokes with his comic friends from the ’80s.” – Michael Brooks, The Michael Brooks Show
“I love how David gives both sides of a story: profound and anti-found.” – Congressman Alan Grayson
“A podcast for folks who believe that strong political convictions and a sense of humor do not have to be mutually exclusive.” – Nathan Rabin, The AV Club
