Radio Host Apologizes For Remarks On Indians
Associated Press
Friday, April 6, 2007; Page A07


HOUSTON, April 5 -- A Houston City Council member and conservative radio host has apologized for saying taxpayers are paying large amounts of welfare to American Indians who are "whining" about having been "whipped in a war."

Michael Berry said Thursday that he posted the apology on his station's Web site the night before "not because I offended people but because I was wrong."

"My facts were wrong, and the basis of my facts was wrong," he said.

Berry said on his KPRC-AM talk show March 27 that Indians do not deserve the "incredible" amount of federal assistance they receive.

"We conquered them," he said. "That's history."

You wouldn't think there would be this many filthy scums in any one country. They all get their own radio shows, too, just as if it's a good idea to hand them microphones and encourage them to share their "thoughts" with every captive American with a radio and almost no choice at all in programming.

6. my email to mr. berry:
i just heard about your remark regarding indians. it's hard to believe in this day and age that someone is 1) that rude and 2) that unbelievably stupid.

however, the fault isn't yours, truth be told. it's your parents, who obviously didn't raise you very well. but they're getting paid back. they walk around with people knowing their son has grown up to be an utter moron.
