Little birdy told me the people at Special Olympics aren't so happy with Mike North promoting the term 'Retard'.

I also heard they might not be so happy about you claiming to give money, which somehow put you "On The Board" of the Special Olympics?

Now, I remember the 'discussion' and it was foolish on your part to continue to tell people that you want to use"retard' instead of mentally challenged, or some other PC term. Then again thats Mike North, stupid, ok chalk it up to dumb.

yet, for you to be so Pompous about your charitable actions and how great you are your wife are needs to be stopped. Giving money to anyone or anything does not allow you say what you think is right, based on the fact you gave them money.

I have heard you use this absolute adolescent line of reasoning before and you need to issue a real apology to these great people and then never do it again, to any group that you smear on your show.

You always talk about that if you make a Mistake, you are the first one to say you are wrong, but do you apologize?

Remember when you used the term "chinks" (Who could forget it) and the people were offended. Instead of just apologizing and moving on, you decided to fight it and tell the people you offended that they are wrong? Do you see how foolish this is yet? did you learn from your mistakes?

Learning from a mistake is really what becoming an adult is all about, it's not calling someone CLASSY and a Stand Up Guy.

also, the taped poorly read apology played at 9:59 AM, just shows how much of a NON stand Up Guy you really are and have been.

i think there are two ways to look at mike north--

1. he is really stupid. mike likes to claim he speaks from the heart and is not pc and all that jazz, yet when he says something that gets him in trouble he blames someone else. his reasoning that because he gives money to special olympics he can call them retards is beyond stupid.

2. he says these controversial things to get publicity, that it is all an act to get ratings.

north survives because he has a certain audience that agrees with most of what he says. hopefully when his contract is up, north will go away never to be heard from again.

I would have to go with stupid. He might have in the past spoke from the heart, but now he is just tryng to attract attention to himself in hopes someone will offer up more big money. Mike is fighting right now to keep his name out there, he needs the attention more then the money.

Mike has turned into a sad little man, he wont admit mistakes, he blames everyone else for his failures and the money has gone straight to his head, that is what is most oivious to me.

LOL

Once again I don't really give a shit what Mike says, as I have about 30 guys I deal with daily that probably agree with him , but what almost cracks me up here is that he was talking about something else.

Maybe Grossman? Maybe Cub fans? Maybe Orton? whatever it was he said they were retarded, which then he decided to dwell on himself. Almost as riveting as the Muffin v Cupcake discussion.

I am not surprised it pissed someone off though.

I'm surprised that he hasn't threatened to sue someone here again for all the things that are said about him.....

I think it was Rodeo Vann and Mopery. North claimed they wrongly accused him of making a racist remark about Barack Obama. One of the posters contacted one of the show's sponsors to complain and word got back to North.

Can you sue an anonymous poster on a message board???

I don't think he had a legal leg to stand on, but his lawyers strong-armed them into apologizing to North.

Mike made a comment about obama and two other posters contacted his sponsers and I made comments on the board. Anyway, he starts spouting off about suing us. He says we mis quoted him. I talked with Paul Agase and he read me the transcript from the show, I believe he switched one word to take away from the severity of what he said, both Mike and Paul refused to play the tape so we couldnt hear exactly what Mike said. Thats says alot, I apolgized on the board to North based on the transcript being correct, if it was correct.

If he played the tape and I was wrong, then I would call him and do so, but until then, I wont do it. I saw Mike a month later at a remote and spoke with him, I think he was waiting for me to beg for his forgiveness, it never came and I told him, if you have to sue me, then do it, otherwise move on, I did.

Mike is a good guy who just has a bad radio show and wont do anything to fix it because he has gotten lazy.

There is no such thing as a transcript from a show on SCR.

How the hell did Agase find you anyway?

Yes, I was scared. I was close to shutting down the board and turning all my assets into cash, then transferring it to the Caymans.

I then locked all my doors and hid in fear.

A transcript can b made of anything. So Agase claimed he was reading exactly what Mike said from the tape.

Mike was not going to sue anyone, because then all the Skeletons come out.

I'm glad that everything worked out in your favor.

They weren't gonna sue because then the tape has to be provided.
I know of at least one that was "lost" when someone alleged that they were defamed by a guest on the station.

Well as I said I don't remember why Mike was arguing about usage of the word Retard, but he sure used it alot that day.

Then he gets the guy who has the retarded kid on the air. LOL

As I always said, thats 'special' reasoning and I find it hilarious, even if Mike does it in the most serious way.

I love when Mike goes to Dictionary, or takes a call that something is OK.

PC COURT WITH MIKE NORTH!
