Handel's show i never intended to be politically correct not sensitive to any groups. His rating is through the roof because people are tired of political correctness nowadays.
Handel's dispensation of the matter was pretty clear to me, even to the lengths of apologizing to anyone who might have been offended. This is not "hate-speech" it's comedy. His intent is to offend all people equally on a daily basis and that's funny - if you got no funny left in you, you need to find some because when you can laugh at yourself or have someone get you to laugh at yourself it takes the edge off.
dude i love everyone, including armenians.. but really.. lets have fun in 2010.. maybe i am wrong.. dont know.. it is sad the old things, but we could get on the catholics over what they did to the protestants.. but we move on...
btw. i'm Armenian and I think people should stop being so sensitive. My great grandparents suffered the Armenian genocide but I feel in no way offended by what this radio host says. I'm kinda appalled by the way Armenians react so sensitively though. Stop complaining who cares what he sais and who cares if this is funny or not to some. Get over yourselves and stop being such cry babies. :S
i think people need to relax, and stop taking things so seriously....he jokes about everyone, i am Lebanese, and he always makes fun of us, but i never take it seriously...he is a Jew, who also makes fun of Jews...HE MAKES FUN OUT OF EVERYTHING!!!!! so if u guys don't like him, don't listen to him...
Handel, a Jew, makes Holocaust jokes. He jokes about everything. His joking, in the larger sense, pokes fun at the seriousness with which we take ourselves and our short lives.
He's a comedian, he sets out to offend everyone (no more than his own wife, family, religion, city, listeners, sponsors, etc.). It's a shtick.
Poor taste? Perhaps. Comics can get away with that. The court jester is supposed to point out the absurdities of the diplomacy. He's necessary. Lighten up.
This must be narrated by Peter Murassidian of Globalist Films! Hey Peter, are you still showing your face in public, especially after you've been shown to be a cream puff w/o any credibility! Can you say Rep. Cohen as he kicked your sorry butt?!!! When are you going to show some balls & talk about the GENOCIDES committed by dashnak Armenians against Moslems & non-Moslems?!!
I used to listen to the show every morning, there was nothing better and I found it amusing. Since late last year it has changed and moved more towards the political end and specially the liberal side and engages heavily on bashing conservatives and republicans. I guess perhaps the research has showed them that they'll gain more listeners that way, good for them, but they lost me and a few of my co-workers by doing so.
Personally I think Handel is a loser of a lawyer and a hose's behind.

hahahahahahaha he's the man!!!! He can joke about it because no genocide happened, and i sure as hell do not see anything wrong with making joke about fictional things

Have you ever heard of a man thrown in prison without being trialed? I am pretty sure you have not. How come damn armos have not taken us to the international court? How come they refuse to open their archives while Turkey has? What are they hiding huh?
And no we never refused to open archives you numb nuts Armenia doesn't have any archives simply cause Armenia didnt exist back then. Any records that survived are from the Armenian Church but most were destroyed during the Genocide but whatever did survive is fully open to everyone to investigate.
We are hiding Turkish sense of humanity, cause it sure as hell is not in Turkey. Are you fucking kidding me? You Turks are all alike with your stupid questions. Because you cant answer them doesn't mean you know what happened. Stop quoting your stupid Tallarmeniantale website cause this way you all sound really dumb. Just from the top of my head I can answer all you stupid questions. The international court of justice already recognizes the AG as a fact and no one is left to trial.
If you say we and many other countries that do recognize the Genocide are wrong then why don't YOU take us and other countries to the court??? For instance France who made it illegal to even deny the Armenian genocide, go ahead take them to court. For us and the overwhelming majority of historians this matter is already decided there is no need for new considerations. It is only the Turks who want to cast doubt on Armenian genocide we wont let it happen.
And no Turkey hasn't opened access to sensitive info. It's an blatant lie if they say they did. Until today historians are prevented from researching Armenian Genocide. Also Turkey kept ALL archives close for almost a century what you think they were doing? It is only recently that you can make this ridiculous argument as we are demanding full disclosure of the archives for over 90 years now.
@SeXyPrinZ The only thing your president wants is to discredit the events. For us and the overwhelming majority of historians this matter is already decided. It's only the Turks who want to cast doubt on Armenian genocide. What research does your president want when this is one of histories most researched events. overwhelming majority conclude it was a Genocide. I guess you're not satisfied with results that contradict your believes :P well good luck then, we're done researching for 90 years
As a fellow Armenian on the East Coast, A conservative Armenian, This was obviously a joke with poor taste. Your apology was sincere, im proud that you were going to kick your Turkish tour guides ass. Rock on Bill
Talking in context, I want to make a point here.. The US should stop wasting American taxpayer's money on Israel and Turkey. Israel is the highest recipient of America's giveaway program and Turkey is the next closest blood sucker. LETS STOP THIS MADNESS.
lol why not .. it's not even a real fact .. it's media hyped armenian controlled thing to get more sympathy from the west.
Armenia should open it's archieves like the rest of the world (including Turkey) and get the documents examined by scholars and historians all over the world. Then this should be examined together with Russian, American and Ottoman archieves.
A few pro Armenian scholars and Ethnic Armenians calling it a genocide doesn't make it a genocide.
I love his talk radio and this should not be taken this way. If anyone knows handel well enough knows that he speaks his mind when other people hide what they really feel. I like Bill's honesty although he does say things that can make you say thats not right, but know that if he says it he doesn't really feel that way. It's the people that don't mention it are the ones you should worry about. He's just not like that and you all know it.
All you individuals who have your panties in a knot over Handel must've also enjoyed all your self-righteous indignation inspired by Imus's cracks on the Rutgers b-ball team . . . just sit back and imagine a world without hyperbole, satire, or sardonic humor . . . just perfect for you!! Politically incorrect? Of course. Bad taste? Definitely. Oh, and Gugulia? You're a moron . . . if capital letters and complete sentences are beyond you, so is abstract and conceptual thought, bad taste or not.
Go ahead and continue calling and writing in. All you're doing is, proving his high ratings. It's ironic though, that people are showing dissapointment/disaproval of some words that they feel are hateful, by writing and saying hateful things themselves.
You're all as stupid as wrestling fans. You write and call in about how you hate a person. They pay that person to say/do certain things to get you mad. All you're doing is proving they're doing their job.
distasteful, dirty and very, very shortsighted arrogance. and you know dear larry, i,m really shocked by remarks of that stupid and too loud woman giving remakrs there, making fun of armenian names, not to mention her prophecy. horror simply... and these probably are more or less law abiding, health insured, proud american citizens.
why doesn,t bill handel make jokes on his own nation? his family? or the shoah? and we of course do not and will not ever know if that almost fistfight ever happened in turkey. it really is outrageous that this kind of trash can be aired on tzhe holocaust of armenians in the united states of america. shame.
i think the world could be a better place without bill handel. dirty liar. only don,t understand why the media and american listeners need such a 'media person', such an ill minded idiot. anca should have drawn him to court, as a minimal and legal solution. bill handel can pack himself, his apologies and go...
@Fedayi01 There are plenty of Jews fighting for Armenian Genocide recognition, don't be a fool. Bill handel needs to quit the radio, he blew it after the racist remarks and there's nothing he can say now that should make us feel any different about his motives and beliefs. Obviously, his crew was well into the racial slurs because he influenced them. Is this clown still running a show? I will write a letter to his boss for sure.
It is a shame that this tiny group of people, who have done so much for human kind, have been repaid with genocide, the constant and shameless denial of that genocide, and the hate speech of people like these radio show hosts. ITS TOO BAD THAT ARMENIAN INVENTIONS LIKE THE M.R.I. OR P.E.T. SCAN MIGHT ONE DAY SAVE THE LIFE OF ONE OF THESE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY PARASITES.
And this TINY list of Armenian contributions only mentioned advancements in medicine and science. It did not even include Armenian contribution to classical music or literature or painting or sculpture or photography or theater-of which there are many. And all this from a mere 12,000,000 people-less than the population of some cities.

There are a little over 12,000,000 Armenians in the world. let's think about that for minute. that means there are more people in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area than all the Armenians on the earth. However, even given their fantastically small population, the Armenian people have made many contributions to human kind. A small sample of some of those contributions are the following.
ARYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN your brother's blood cryes from the soil... listen to this woman and this bill handel clown ...MAKE A JOK of the 1.5 million people murdered ...the resone the ARMENIANS were killed ...was THER RASE AND BEING ARYAN BLOOD!
look at son of a bitch jews,why they don't say we should stop send billions of dollars to israel.enough you screw Germany,and now America,look at CEOs,and bankers,while we tax payer give billions of dollars,to banks and others what they do first thing they pay themselves first millions of dollars,when we will wake up?lose our underwear!!
Well - this is Bill Handel, at being Handel, what you want . . . How far d one go to push his ratings up (Bill, just discovered that you can be a moron )
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I think that this is OK - it's comedy. No Armenians who complained about this could ever watch the Simpsons and get it. Its humour retards, stop killing our freedom to speak through political correctness. That to is persecution. Anyway - i told the kebab guy off the other day as he said the genocide didn't happen. WHAT A KNOB - aren't we lucky to have such beautiful lands? I stood and saw that sign on the hill. Don't have to tell me about turks, but get a sense of humour!
If you'd like to post a video response, face in full view and a graphic indicating who you are, we'll be glad to keep it up.
But, unaccomplished bigots, who are sitting in their underwear at a computer screen, somewhere in Glendale or elsewhere, manifesting their life's failures by engaging in hate speech, won't be allowed to have their anonymous comments see the light of day. Those Free-Speech ramblings are for the Glendale News-Press to print.
Thank you to Greg Garabedian for listening and responding to this assholes. THE SHOW SHOULD BE CLOSED !!!!They are not qualified to have a job, they are over qualified for this job, they should find terrorist jobs. How can we let this kind of people go on air and educate public. What kind of example they sat for young kids? Hate?
oh ya...just because you almost got into a fight with a turk in turkey, it gives you the right to make ignorant remarks and hate speeches towards Armenians...Why do ignorant retards get jobs on the radio and TV? and who's the stupid bitch that keeps on repeating the comments? Oh and just because you're a jew that means you can make remarks about genocide and joke around it..remember one thing bitch, Germany's paying for the holocaust, ours hasn't even been recognized you fucking dumbass
Hey Prick, if you advocate something in which you really believed that happpaned to the Armenians "which it did" the why the f@$k would you joke about, make fun of and and add more fuel to the fire?? You are a real PRICK!
There is no "almost" you either do or you don't. Turkey isn't America. That's like saying you "almost" got into a "fist fight" with an Armenian, in Armenia, because you told him you're gonna finish what the Turks started. There is no almost. lol.
Billy boy and that whore lara apologize for their remarks after ARMENIANS protested and met with directors/organizers of the show along with billy himself. HEY BILL, HANDEL THIS ..|..
Another reason to get rowdy. Don't get so emotional over what 1 individual says. Sit down, catch a heartbeat. Move on with your life. You can't expect everyone to do right by your standards. ahhhhhhhh k no more, i promise -.-
Continuation: If anyone's weak enough to be influenced by something heard on the radio.. to the point where they would agree with anything that is said. Then the existence of those people shouldn't be acknowledged by you in the first place. So grow up, and get over it. I can keep going.. but I'm gonna stop now. peace....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Continuation: I mean, does anyone actually think, that if he meant what he said, and "apologizes", that his apology is ACTUALLY going to be sincere?
idk.. one person says something tasteless.. big fucking deal.. oh nooo it's on the air! I don't see anyone asking random strangers who throw out racist comments for an apology. "Take it back!" lol. Tell me what difference it'll make.
I would love to see him say something about blacks or jews. oh no he wouldnt cuz we live in United states of ISRAEL and the president is black. Imus didnt say much also but he got fired, his apologies are not accepted he and that trash lara gonna go down.
I'm assuming Armenians came to mind because he brought up "euthanasia" .. and probably thought of Dr. Kevorkian.. and threw out "Armenians" instead of another random group of people.. and went along with it..
Not saying it's right.. Just saying, they don't care what they say.. they just want controversy. They only care about their ratings.
This is most likely the thought process that went behind Bill Handel and his unfunny buddies. And your right, their shock jocks, anything that warrants attention is a plus. Perhaps this Helps them out?
Fuck his attempt at an apology; he's just trying to save his ass from embarrassment on Friday when he gets a star on the walk of fame. Everyone should go there and piss on his star
With Bill Handel's 'walk of fame' ceremony tomorrow, he certainly picked the wrong time to piss off Armenians. What a dumbass! I hope the protesters there put the recording of "What Turks started, Bill will finish" on a loop throughout the entire 'honoring'.
I think this is a shameful truth that in America still there are lits of stupid racist people SHAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
oh is that who she is, a fuckin board operator? She needs to be set straight. FIRE THE BITCH! its not really an apology i'm personally looking for. I dont care how many times he apologises.
What one needs to remember in considering the "apology" is the response Putz and his crew offered to the e-mail complaint from Greg Garabedian. They ridiculed, & implied the complaint was less valid due to Garabedian's heritage, as evidenced by his last name. IAN or YAN? HILARIOUS!
Why ANYONE listens to KFI escapes me, as this sort of garbage is SOP for KFI and many callers. Hey, Bill, James Von Brunn was just making a joke in "Kill the Best Gentiles!" HILARIOUS, huh?!
On 5/13/09, Bill Handel, on a show about health care, said that the U.S. government should "get rid of the Armenians, " to save money. The next day, a listener, Greg Garabedian, e-mailed Handel, requesting an apology for the remarks he made. While Handel read the letter aloud, his 25-year-old BOARD OPERATOR Lara Hermanson, added that "what the Turks started, Bill will finish," referencing the Armenian Genocide. KFI AM 640 Program Director Robin Bertolucci apologized, as will Bill on June 12th.
On December 15, 2006, KFI suspended Handel for one week after an on-air shouting match with Jamie White on KYSR. White allegedly told one of Handel's daughters to "get out" of the studio. He later apologized, claiming he lost his temper.
In 1996, Asian-American leaders called for Handel's resignation after making comments about Kristi Yamaguchi and Michelle Kwan. Handel was quoted as saying; "And when I look at a box of Wheaties, all right? I don't want to see eyes that are like all slanted and Oriental and almond shaped. I want American eyes looking at me."[14] Handel apologized, claiming that he was mocking bigotry.
Fuck his attempt at an apology; he's just trying to save his ass from embarrassment on Friday when he gets a star on the walk of fame. Everyone should go there and piss on his star
OMG don't even bother with an insincere apology. If you were so pro-Armenian, you would have never made such a comment which was followed by your ignorant co-host. If youre jewish and really took to heart what Nazi's did to your people, then you would not have made such an insensitive comment. I have signed the petition against this ignorant prick and I think you all should as well. Just go to hell. &as for budget crisis, if anyone is stimulating this damn economy, it is the Armenian community.
THERE IS AN APOLOGY COMING!!!! Listen to Bill Handel's program tomorrow...and you be the judge. Sometime shortly after 6:30 AM on KFI 640, Handel and his female board operator (Lara) will apologize. This will be on Friday, June 12, about 5 hours before Handel gets his STAR on Hollywood Boulevard. LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN...and judge for yourself..if they go far enough with the apology. Let's give him a chance to right the wrong. We were all outraged and angry, but Bill might be sincere this time.
we dont need his insencere apologies, he can put it where the sun dont shine. there needs to be some kind of disciplinary action taken agianst everyone who took part, including the radio staion for airing this racist bull. what upsets and shocks me the most are not the comments he makes but what his producers says.-"WHAT THE TURKS STARTED, BILL WILL FINISH" How dare she!! They are all ignorant sons of bitches. there is a limit to everything
** From 9:30 AM to 11 AM today, June 11, Bill Handel, three KFI executives and 8 representatives from the Armenian-American community, met at KFI in Burbank. The meeting was civil, successful and fruitful. The ambitous protest, that many angry folks were planning to attend, is no longer necessary. I am not trying to talk anyone out of attending, it is simply less volitile of an issue now. MORE INFO is on the way:, like a written apology from Handel and an on-air apology tomorrow after 6:30 AM!!!
What can I say...Stupid idiot. People like you deserve to be treated the way 1.500.000 innocent armenians were treated in 1915. That is not something you joke about. Do you even know the suffering they went through? I don't think so. Burn in hell idiot!!!!!!!!
Unified Young Armenians will stage a protest against Bill Handel and his staff members anti-Armenian statements and more importantly their call for yet another Genocide. This protest is in direct response to the following comments made on the show:
• Bill Handel (May 13, 2009): get rid of, lets say Armenians.
• Lara Hermanson (May 14, 2009): What Turks started, Bill will finish.
Shame on you Bill. May be you deserve of not having grand parents, because you do not have the brain to understand what the Genocide means and if you say it was a joke, you are not funny at all; you are a big shame.
really. just plain truthfully. if he really meant it as a "joke" and he really did not realize how seriously people were taking his comments, he would have apologized when those passionate letters came in...NOT days later when the station probably forced him to. This is just BS.
The outrage shouldn't just be against Bill Handel or his sidekick...the outrage should also be against KFI and Clear Channel. It is their radio station and allowing these type of hateful comments to be aired is irresponsible.
WoW can't believe this guy!! This is why we have people (New Nazi's) picking up a rifle and going on a rampage in Holocust Museum. Bill shame on you!!! You are on th black list now!!
What it make me more irritate and hope everyone too, that they are OPENLY labeling us (Armenians) in two camps of "IAN" and "YAN", this is not funny and truly upsetting.
is this Bill guy for real?!! a 'joke' he says... wow... it's more a matter of him putting his foot in his mouth and making a fool of himself! and they let guys like this on air... what next?
Hey Bill, Finish'em!

lol why not .. it's not even a real fact .. it's media hyped armenian controlled thing to get more sympathy from the west.
Armenia should open it's archieves like the rest of the world (including Turkey) and get the documents examined by scholars and historians all over the world. Then this should be examined together with Russian, American and Ottoman archieves.
A few pro Armenian scholars and Ethnic Armenians calling it a genocide doesn't make it a genocide.

I love his talk radio and this should not be taken this way. If anyone knows handel well enough knows that he speaks his mind when other people hide what they really feel. I like Bill's honesty although he does say things that can make you say thats not right, but know that if he says it he doesn't really feel that way. It's the people that don't mention it are the ones you should worry about. He's just not like that and you all know it.

On 5/13/09, Bill Handel, on a show about health care, said that the U.S. government should "get rid of the Armenians, " to save money. The next day, a listener, Greg Garabedian, e-mailed Handel, requesting an apology for the remarks he made. While Handel read the letter aloud, his 25-year-old BOARD OPERATOR Lara Hermanson, added that "what the Turks started, Bill will finish," referencing the Armenian Genocide. KFI AM 640 Program Director Robin Bertolucci apologized, as will Bill on June 12th.

I want American eyes looking at me."[14] Handel apologized, claiming that he was mocking bigotry.
