Article Excerpt:
Charles Fox has an update on the autism rant that outraged me last week. Apparently there has been quite a lot of backlash from the remarks and calls for the radio host to be fired. Radio stations and advertisers have dropped him already.

I absolutely 100% think the guy should be fired. This is no different than the Imus situation, just a different protected class that is being discriminated against and made fun of. Are we not as outraged as a society when people openly discriminate against and ridicule disabled children as we are when they do that to minority children? I would hope not, but here is the broadcasting company's response:

"[We are] satisfied that he did not mean any disrespect to autistic children or their families but was instead reiterating his longstanding concerns on public health issues."

Listen for yourself and decide what you think is appropriate.
