UPDATE: Here’s the audio of Belling comparing women who breast feed their babies to “sows”:

Right wing talk radio show host Mark Belling has outdone himself this time. On this afternoon’s show while he was ranting against a proposed breast feeding rights law, he not only displayed his ignorance about the benefits of breast feeding to both the mother and child, he managed to outrage pretty much every mother in Milwaukee.
I’ll have the audio shortly, but in short, Mark Belling compared women who breast feed their children to “sows”. Women are “pigs” in his expert opinion. For some reason, that particular segment is missing from the podcast on his web site right now. Coincidence? Doubtful.
That was only the beginning of an outrageous anti-family rant that was a showcase of disgusting and chauvinistic depravity.
Even women calling in to his show today who identified themselves as “conservatives” were outraged at the outrageous statements of WISN’s “premier” talk radio show host. And rightfully so.
Why a single middle aged man who has no family (that I know of at least) thinks he’s qualified to provide commentary about something as personal as breast feeding and it’s effect on women, their children and their families is beyond me. Why that kind of person thinks they can make such an offensive comparison and then try to cover it up is even a bigger question.
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and sons Carter and Colton.
Who is this nut? I’ve never heard of him. Guess he doesn’t get out of his padded room much!
Mark is not ‘right’ or ‘conservative’. He’s just a sound bite moron completely detached from most of reality. Its a mystery to me how a media ‘whore’ like Mark gets to keep spouting his fake version of conservatism while his own show has to beg the audience to ‘support your local sponsors’ every other commercial – talk about free market suicide.
As a true conservative who understands that conservatism means conserving individual liberty – all I do is look at the culture and politics within Mark’s sphere of influence and shake my head at the big fat zero of positive impact. Better off ‘shutting up for Milwaukee.’
