Although what they said was out there, morning shock jocks say crazy things all the time that are offensive to other segments of the population ... that is what they do. If people don't like it they shouldn't listen to this stuff.

The other thing is that we do have freedom of speech and that should be respected. When someone says something and someone else comes out and says "hey, that was offensive", the opportunity should be taken advantage of to discuss why it's offensive. That is why freedom of speech works - it's your responsibility to try and not be offended and yell out for bloody murder, but instead respond to the situation in calm rationale debate.

So what happened to free speech. Busy body people whining about nothing!! This can only bother people that already had a chip on their whiny little shoulders anyway. If they do not like the humour then turn to a different station,
and shut up... Those guys are funny not mean!!!!

I think that for anyone to say something like that on air should be fired!!! That is an awful way to discriminate towards the Native Women In Alaska!

I feel the right thing to do is to fire those 2 talk hosts. It is behavior like this that contradict what we are trying to teach our young people. What I don't understand is how do people continue to support and condone this type of behavior. Don't they realize that this is what is wrong with America today. With free speech comes responsibility, and the Radio station has a responsibility in setting things right. No woman of any race should be degraded in this manner. for those of you that are all for free speech, how would you feel if someone talked to a woman in your life that you loved or respected. if there is no one like that in your life we feel sorry for you.

I am a Black man who's lived in the south where racism and discrimination still exist and I want to raise and my daughter and future children in a place where they won't be judged by their race and ethnicity. To see that this still happens in the world today shows me how little we have grown in this world how someone could directly discriminate against people that they don't know just because of how they are and it's sad to say that this isn't the first time that happened and I know that it won't be the last. Free speech is a right and there are people that just don't deserve this right. In my opinion, if you want to misuse one right I think you should be kicked off the air and banned indefinately! I AM REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE FROM KODIAK ISLAND!!! You had stated that my mother-in-law and my brother-in-law are from Bethel, no, we represent AKHIOK, AK.

I have never heard Woody & Wilcox berate natives prior to this incident. They are not the racist pigs that you people make them out to be. They have a very funny morning show aimed at a male audience. The comment that sparked this witch hunt was an anomaly. Michelle Davis seems to be the only sensible voice concerning this fiasco, as she has admitted that she does not want them fired. Woody and Wilcox make fun of stupid people. Stupid people come in all races, colors & creeds.
If you want to hear a constant stream of disparaging remarks toward natives, valley people, blacks, the mentally handicapped and women, just take a listen to the Bob & Mark show on KWHL 106.5!(drink lots of coffee before listening so you don't doze off!) These idiots have been getting away with that crap for years! Unfortunately, I believe that some of the protesters may be confused about who is on the Fox morning show and are perhaps confusing W&W with B&M. Bob & Mark were once on the Fox morning show, where they got away with their racist, idiotic brand of humor. Why weren't the advertisers backing out then? Why did no one complain?
Once again, Woody & Wilcox are not racist pigs! They are two very talented and funny guys who made a stupid mistake! Please, stop this witch hunt and let Woody and Wilcox return to the airwaves of Anchorage!

I guess I am a bigot, against people with no sense of humor. I, for one, will not listen to 100.5 until Woody and Wilcox are back on the air.

Me too! I only listened to that station while they were on the air. The classic rock format that follows their show makes me want to find a rope and swing from the rafters!

Boy am I glad I'm a half breed (half white) because the Native part of me is starting to feel ashamed. They said they are sorry. They paid for their mistakes. Do us all a favor and stop your whining and move on to something else - like being an example for your children. Sheesh!
