Talk Show Host Gets Death Threat: A radio talk show host in Greenville, S.C., said he has received a death threat invoking the name of a Denver radio personality whose murder was linked to white supremacists. Mike Gallagher, whose talk show on WFBC-AM airs from 9 a.m. until noon, said he had just finished a program on racism on Thursday when he received a telephone call from a man who identified himself only as “George from Anderson,” a South Carolina town. Gallagher said the caller told him to “remember Alan Berg,” the Denver talk show host who was gunned down in 1984. When Gallagher left the station around 2 p.m., he found a note on his car windshield that included a racial remark, another reference to Berg and the words, “You’re a dead man.” The threat, which is being investigated by police, came after Gallagher and his callers discussed the controversy over a South Carolina sheriff accused of using a racial slur.
