Gerry Callahan and John Dennis joke that election postponed
Associated Press via bostonherald.com

BOSTON - A spokesman for Secretary of State William Galvin said he warned two radio show hosts to "knock it off" after they told listeners the election had been postponed and Democrats should vote Wednesday.

Brian McNiff said in his e-mail to Gerry Callahan and John Dennis of WEEI-AM that they were doing a disservice to voters. The hosts prefer Republican John McCain over Democrat Barack Obama.

He cited state law against interfering in elections.

McNiff said his agency’s election division got several complaints about the comments, which were made during the Dennis & Callahan morning show Tuesday. One listener said his father-in-law believed the elections were postponed, and called him because he was so upset.

1. Arrest them now!
People that don't respect the democratic process need to be made an example of to the fullest extent of the law.

2. Those racist troglodytes are still on the air here despite many scandals.
They are assholes and should be fined for instigating voter suppression.

3. Classic. Even in their jokes they acknowledge they can't win fair.

5. Racist tools
They are a major reason why WEEI has become impossible to listen to, even for a hardcore sports fan like me.

6. What ever happened to the "law and order" the Repubs used to whine about?
Throw them in jail and throw away the key.
