Racial Slur Broadcast In South Central Idaho

An update to this story (3:28 pm): Please read Sisyphus' excellent rundown on this "situation."

Not surprisingly, Zeb Bell's big mouth has gotten him into hot water once again:

• "Political Game: Racist Rhetoric Must Stop" (HBO)
  
• The story originally from KTVB
• Serephin's write-up and updates
• The anti-Zeb Bell/Steve Mitton website
  
• My history with Mr. Bell
• More from HBO
• Unequivocal weigh-in
• Bell "recants" apology--points finger at guest
  
• Making the Atlanta news (that's Georgia)
  
• From Thursday's Times News

Just to clarify, the racist remark was broadcast by a Rupert station, the actual radio show of said Bell comes directly out of his house in Murtaugh. And yes, this is how the man talks, no, not a chance this was misheard.

One thing that continues to bother me about this story is the continuous headline at the Times News: "Comment irk Democrats." Zeb Bell's comments aren't about Democrat or Republican. Everybody with a pulse should be irked about his comments.
