Karel was fired yesterday afternoon, a week after he stated on-air he wanted "Joe the Plumber MFking dead."  However, Karel is trying to portray himself as a victim.

In his defense, Karel says that he was told by the engineer, who left the studio to use the bathroom, that his microphone was off.  The engineer was also told, he says, to make sure it is off during breaks because Karel talks to his chat room during the breaks, saying things not appropriate for air.

"Weekends are cheap and they were using a cheap engineer for my show," he said.  "My show shouldn't have had an inexperienced engineer for my show, which is done remotely, and in which the host doesn't have an on/off switch on his mic.  They put an inexperienced driver in the seat and the show crashed."

Obviously Karel is an inexperienced and unprofessional radio show host, as the number one rule of broadcasting is to assume the mic/camera is always "hot" or "on" while in the studio.  And obviously if you think the engineer was inexperienced, and there are more experienced engineers at the studio and you didn't have one, that should tell you a lot about your show and it's importance to the station.

And BTW, this is the same guy who wrote an editorial on the Huffington Post titled "I'm Afraid..." regarding death threats stating "Yes, I'm afraid that John McCain and Sarah Palin through their hateful, spiteful and untrue rhetoric are, no matter how inadvertent, trying to get Barack Obama out of the race, literally, as in, taken out.  [...]  What you are doing is criminal and wrong and very, very dangerous."

Here's audio of the show:

And Obama wants to say that the GOP are the bad guys.  In Philly, PA Black Panthers were intimating voters, and members of the GOP were asked to leave polling places.  Welcome to the New USA.

First Report:  Two Black Panthers Blocking Access To Polling Location apparently one holding a nightstick.   The Black Panthers are a Marxist/Maoist African-American organization established to promote Black Power and self-defense, firmly grounded in black nationalism.

In one reported a young white male Army veteran voter walked up to the door to enter the polling place, when the Black Panthers "closed ranks" and blocked the entrance to the polling place.  When the voter was inside, he was told to not go back outside because "a black man is going to win this election no matter what."

When the man walked back outside, he stated that the Black Panther who was holding a nightstick said that they were tired of white supremacy, while tapping the nightstick in his hand.  The voter called the police, the man with the nightstick was "removed" via escorting him away from the polling place.

When FOX News arrived, the Black Panthers then accused FOX News of intimidating voters simply with their presence.  Police were called however, they left with no action.  Don't believe me?  Video below.
