Hate speech on "Air America"?
Cynical Nation ^ | 5/11/2004 | Matt

Posted on 05/11/2004 9:35:08 AM PDT by Matt_in_Manhattan

Did anyone else hear Randi Rhodes comparing President Bush to Fredo Corleone, and openly calling for his father or brother to take him on a "fishing" trip and blow his brains out?

The link with the audio is here.

Isn't making or suggesting threats against a President a felony?

IF this is true, Err Amerika just screwed another pooch in the kennel. Advocating the death of the president is illegal, isn't it? It certainly opens them up to Secret Service investigation, for sure.

When liberals talk about anyone else, by definition it can not be "hate speech"

Yes, and I wish that Free Republic could field a staff of lawyers to bring charges against people who need to be brought before a court to account for their actions/speech. If Larry Clayman can do this, why can't we?

If this was on Air America, then no one else heard it.

No, it's alright...they're democrats....they're allowed to do that.

They are allowed to call it "satire". If it were a conservative, it'd be a crime.

Why don't you pass the link on to the Secret Service so that they can investigate?

Going off topic here a bit, but I don't know of too many instances where Larry used lawyers to bring to account in a court of law people who crossed the line. I think his specialty is or was FOIA retrievals. I could be wrong.

However, it would be nice if someone like Jay Sekulow at ACLJ got on this!

Advocating the death of the president is illegal, isn't it

Partially true..........However, it is ONLY against the LAW if you are a Conservative advocating the death of a Liberal President.

At what point do we start considering this stuff treason? Considering that we're at war and all, this isn't trivial.

If AirAmerica says something in a forest, and nobody tunes in to hear them, do they really make a sound?

Doesn't surprise me. A few weeks ago the hag was expressing her wish that the owner of the two radio stations that dropped their broadcast have his head slammed in a car door. Al Franken wanted to lock Ann Coulter in a basement and have her begging him to let her out.

So much for the claims of liberals their cause is 'peace and love.' Their violent fantasies regarding those they disagree with are really telling.

It has been my observation that the gloves are off-the left no longer pretends not to be motivated by hate and openly preaches violence against any and all who do not agree with them. I thought that was common knowledge.

Now perhaps, more people will realize it is true when said that "Liberalism is a mental disease"..

They hate non liberal, but preach love...
They desire your money to give to others, and keep their own for themselves.
They wish to disarm the innocent, and salvage the guilty.

They are sick puppies....to be shamed, ridiculed and destroyed when necessary........but NEVER tolerated.

Semper Fi
