jersey guys encourage reporting "anyone suspicious"

More racist antics from Craig Carton and Ray Rossi, aka "The Jersey Guys." You might recall back in 2005 when they made racist remarks regarding then-candidate Jun Choi and Edison's mayoral race, mocking Asians and saying that no "foreign group should ever ever dictate the outcome of an American election." Earlier this month, the two started "Operation Rat a Rat/La Cucha Gotcha," a listener-participation game that encourages people to turn in friends, neighbors and "anyone suspicious" to immigration authorities. Obviously, the stunt has stirred up quite a bit of controversy: An Immigrant Segment by Radio's 'Jersey Guys' Draws Fire. Of course, no one is suprised. Hell, contoversy is exactly what they want. The worst part is, they're not simply just acting like idiots on the air—they're encouraging everyone who listens to them to be idiots along with them, raising up an army of racist idiots. And that is truly scary.
