On the September 5 broadcast of his Minneapolis radio show, host Chris Baker asserted that the Code Pink protesters who interrupted Sen. John McCain's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention on September 4 “ought to have all their tubes tied.” Baker stated of McCain's speech, “I'll tell you, though, in the speech -- the best part of the speech was when those Code Pink nuts -- another bunch that ought to have all their tubes tied. All right? I can't stand these Code Pink broads.” Code Pink describes itself as “a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the war in Iraq, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education and other life-affirming activities.”

The Chris Baker Show airs on Minneapolis' 100.3 KTLK-FM, owned by Clear Channel Communications.

From the September 5 broadcast of 100.3 KTLK-FM's The Chris Baker Show:

BAKER: I'll tell you, though, in the speech -- the best part of the speech was when those Code Pink nuts -- another bunch that ought to have all their tubes tied. All right? I can't stand these Code Pink broads.

CO-HOST: Uh, that's “chicks.”

BAKER: Oh, I'm sorry. These -- OK, “these stupid Code Pink chicks.”
