Milwaukee talk radio UAV equates breastfeeding women to sows.

I don't have a direct link--apparently, the segment got deleted from the podcast--but you can listen here:

This was said in response to Wisconsin's new statute protecting the rights of breastfeeding women.

According to the blog entry, most everyone calling in identified themselves as conservative (his target audience) and disgusted with his comments.

This guy's said a lot of obnoxious things--about women, minorities (Mexicans in particular--he got suspended for using a derogatory term), liberals, gays...he's gone off on breastfeeding before (equating NIP to defecating in public) but not, to my knowledge, though, gone so personal with the name-calling before. Ugh.

Considering the source, this may well be *positive* media for BFIP! Especially since all of the callers disagreed with him! He sounds like the kind of radio personality who's abrasive on purpose, trying to find things to offend his audience so he can get them riled up.

I'm so incredibly tempted to say something about pigs and sows and how it's not offensive for a member of a species to refer to females by the proper term for females of his own species, but I just don't see how I can do that without violating the UA.

Hee.

You've characterized this guy properly--he sits in for Rush Limbaugh on occasion. I don't listen to him as a general rule, but sometimes, I end up doing so to get a traffic report and it's just painful.
