"JERSEY GUYS" CRAIG CARTON AND RAY ROSSI MAKE RACIST REMARKS ABOUT JUN CHOI

Sometimes I still don't believe there are morons like the "Jersey Guys," Craig Carton and Ray Rossi, still on the radio. They have their right to free speech, but in a seemingly competitive landscape their low-class, unintelligent talk radio survives. Maybe it's the "bridge and tunnel" crowd that allows them to float or the value of their shock-jock routine? Whatever the reason, it is unfortunate that they are part of the public discussion in America. The following is some of their comments on my acquaintance, Jun Choi, who is running for Mayor of Edison, NJ:

"I don't care if the Chinese population in Edison has quadrupled in the last year, Chinese should never dictate the outcome of an election, Americans should," Carton said.

"Would you really vote for someone named Jun Choi?" Carton said, announcing the candidate's name in a sped-up, high-pitched voice. Carton also criticized Edison Mayor George Spadoro for pandering to the Asian population.
