‘Opie And Anthony’ Host Fired By SiriusXM After This Brutally Racist Tirade On Twitter

Check out this weak and vile excuse for a man. His story doesn't line up, since you can't walk ten feet in Times Square at 2AM without bumping into a police officer. I'm sure someone will post their cell phone camera recording of this incident.

probably him being an ass if anything happened at all which I would guess nothing happened.

concentrating on buttocks. One woman told him to stop and wipe the photos of her.

then what happened?

I assume he continued the booty shots, but then who started punching?

No, I'm not defending him and I figure he was being an asshole and an ass kicking might well have been in the cards, but being an asshole doesn't necessarily mean an assault is necessary. The object of his tweets may not be all sweetness and light herself.

The guy from Man v Food recently lost it on twitter, too. Unfiltered, they certainly do give ya a good view of their attitudes.

Good God, this has to be the lamest racist rant that I have ever heard. Who is actually a fan of this loser?

I've listened to hours of O&A on YouTube. Not going to lie. Stern as well. But Anthony has made me change videos many a time with his racism. All year they've been attacking the "PC Police" who they view as every single liberal. It's the latest conservative strawman. Their fans are parroting exact lines about liberals from recent shows on Twitter and Facebook.
