*--these are the words, according to the local news, that were allegedly spoken by this radio host that's the subject of this story--*
Happy to see the Secret Service are taking allegations like this seriously.
HERNANDO COUNTY (Bay News 9) -- The U.S. Secret Service launched an investigation into local radio talk show host Bob Haa after complaints about comments he made on a Friday morning broadcast.
Haa is host of the Haa Wire show on WWJB-AM 1450 in Brooksville. The investigation was launched after complaints were filed that incendiary comments were made on the show about President Barack Obama.
"There's just no truth to it," Haa said.
Haa says he remembers the call. He says the caller was talking about target practice and ammunition. He says he told the caller to save their bullets.
"We're looking into what was allegedly said," said John Joyce, special agent in charge of the Secret Service's field office in Tampa. "We have yet to determine what was actually said that day."
The investigation was started after Hernando County administration staffer JoJo DiViccaro started receiving calls complaining that Haa was making threats and racist comments about Obama.
