Local Radio Host Thaddeus Matthews made headlines after kicking Republican Congressional candidate Charlotte Bergmann off his radio show last week.

Matthews repeatedly told the candidate for the 9th Congressional District to "get up, get you’re a** up out of here."

Matthews said he's heard from people all over the country who not only want him off the air, they want him dead. He told abc24.com, "I've got calls from whites who say they gonna hang me, calls saying they're gonna drag me behind a car."

Despite the threats, Matthews said he doesn't regret anything that happened. "Everyone knows what happens when you come to my show," he said. "It's a hard interview … My record precedes itself. You know what you're walking into when you walk in here."

You know what I find appalling? WPTY "covers" this story, but only because Thaddeus kick Ms. Bergmann off of his show. They don't mention all the other racial slurs that he called her, or the fact that he wouldn't shake her hand because her "whiteness" might rub off on him. Thaddeus Matthews calling ANYONE racist is the pot calling the kettle black.

The sad part is that there will be people that actually listen and believe this Farrakhan wannabe. Matthews is exactly what is wrong with the black community,,blame whitey for everything even though you don't mind getting that welfare check and foodstamp card that us,,the tax paying Whiteys and Blacks are working to pay for. Matthews needs the "sheep" to listen to his racist propaganda because just like Farrakhan if those people wise up he (Matthews) will be out of a job.

At least he opens his fat mouth and lets the racism flow. Unlike the last mayor this fair city had who played his dirty little tricks from one neighborhood to the next

thaddeus is one of the typical " black " racist that in live in this great city.... ALL of the ghettos problems are the white mans fault. its our fault for all of the illigitimate babys born to girls(who are children themselves) with no self respect ( due typically to a lack of a father figure )= endless cycle....crime rates black on black ( alarming levels ) also a direct statistic of no father in the home. these are problems that just keep repeating themselves in the black community and the only one who can fix it is the individual ( not the government ). don't get me wrong this is not just a black issue - there are plenty of white trash out there as well. to many people today white and black are simply lazy and want to blame all of there problems on someone or something else. NO PERSONAL ACCOUNTABLITY.

This guy is a racist, but black folks will continue to listen to him. Ben Ferguson asked him about the Whity rubbing off on me remark, Thaddeus called Ben an idiot. Ben has to much class to waste his time on this jerk. Should have said I won't shake your hand Thaddeus, don't want your blacness rubbing off on me. Ever notice how screwed up or racist a black person is, all the other black folks dance around the answer?? Ernie Freeman is the worst, as is Ben's partner.. Its 2012, man up and improve your life, quit expecting the government to bail you out.

You'd think that someone as racist as Thaddeus would show a little more respect for a black woman who is trying to make a name for herself and set a good example as a black leader. I think it's a little outdated and backward to continue to blame "whitey" for all of the black community's problems. It's 2012 Thaddeus. It's time for people to start taking responsibility for their actions and put forth actual effort to better themselves, instead of sitting on their @ss and blaming their laziness on "whitey".
