Controversy
During the Rae Carruth incident, he asked a caller if "blacks are more likely to abuse their spouses than other races?"
He called Hideki Irabu, a Japanese pitcher, a "fat Jap".
On January 6, 2010, Hamilton engaged in an ongoing confrontation with XEPRS 1090 morning drive hosts Scott & BR by referring to Scott Kaplan as "Wide Right" and BR (Billy Ray) as an "imbecile," also claiming that several inarticulate callers were worthy of calling the "morning show." Hamilton also stated on the air that, while the two morning hosts might be willing to "start it," he would use management to "finish it."

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
