Tea Party ex-Congressman Joe Walsh says he was booted from his radio show for racial slurs

Former Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh, who lost his seat to Tammy Duckworth following revelations that he was a deadbeat dad, was booted he says from his drive-time radio show this evening for using racial slurs during a diatribe over the Redskin's name woes.

Walsh, who hosts the 5-7 PM radio slot on AM560 The Answer in Chicago, documented the ongoing conflict with the station's general manager on his twitterfeed, @WalshFreedom.

The station keeps cutting me off. I don't know why

And here comes to the General Manager. It appears I can say Redskins, which is supposedly offensive, but when I say other words, commercial

I'm trying to have an honest, adult conversations about words without resorting to alphabet soup phrases(C-word, N-word, etc)

— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) June 19, 2014

If Redskins is just like the "n-word" why can I say Redskins on-air without being dumped out into a commercial?

And just been informed I am off the air until further notice

Just got kicked off the air until further notice. Tried to have honest discussion about racist terms and management censored my language.

About to drive home. Yes, management took me off the air tonight. I'll explain more in a little bit. Thanks for support.

Found out if I said Redskins or Cracker or Redneck Bible Thumper, I could stay on. But if I said Nigger or Spick, they cut me off.
