XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WED APRIL 27, 2005 09:01:25 ET XXXXX
AIR AMERICA RADIO INVESTIGATED AFTER BUSH 'GUNSHOTS'
**Exclusive**
The red-hot rhetoric over Social Security on liberal talkradio network AIR AMERICA has caught the attention of the Secret Service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Government officials are reviewing a skit which aired on the network Monday evening -- a skit featuring an apparent gunshot warning to the president!
The announcer: "A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn't safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here's your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. [audio of gun being cocked]."
The audio production at the center of the controversy aired during opening minutes of The Randi Rhodes Show.
"What is with all the killing?" Rhodes said, laughing, after the clip aired.
"Even joking about shooting the president is a crime, let alone doing it on national radio... we are taking this very seriously," a government source explained.
[A Randi Rhodes Fan site is offering an mp3 clip of the broadcast.]
Developing...
WLIB is a lot scarier than Air America, IMO. The conspiracy theories that are accepted as pure fact by both hosts and callers are pretty incredible. And there seem to be more of them on WLIB than on Air America.
What do you think?
Anyone have a picture of Rhodes? I'm curious to see what she looks like, with all that hate spewing forth.
Any relation to Frank N Furter? (sorry...)
A bit off topic, but still in line with the debate. Anyone know about this course?

COURSE DESCRIPTION
The events of September 11, 2001, indisputably changed the course of American politics and history. This course is offered so students may examine various events and policies leading to 911. In particular, this course will focus largely on the specific destruction in lower Manhattan and the Pentagon. We will examine the official story and analyze it critically. We will consider alternative explanations of what occurrred as well. 911 was a catalyst for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as the attack on civil liberties in the United States. We will examine each of these with a critical eye. The goal of this course is to arrive at a solid understanding of how 911 has shaped our political future and to promote critical analysis by students of this catastrophic event and its aftermath.
This course is outside the scope of traditional "political science" in many ways. First it is "unscientific" in that it relies much on eyewitness accounts and speculation. Secondly, there is not yet a solid literature on the September 11 "attacks" or on the war on terrorism. This literature is emerging, particularly on the latter. Thirdly, this course will rely somewhat extensively on alternative news media accounts and a variety of films and videos in lieu of literature.

And she claims she was voted "Most Outstanding Woman in the Air Force?" There never has been such an award, nor is there one today. There are "Outstanding Airman" awards, but they have never been gender specific.
Also, she admits she was AWOL? Good gracious! And she is the Left's mouthpiece. How appropriate.
I hope this publicity put incredible scrutiny on Ms. Rhodes, and she is held accountable for her resume padding.
Man, a shrink could have field day with that sloppy-ass resume.
Uh-oh, I wonder where Rosie's hands are!
I freggin` love it. `Rats just keep digging themselves deeper into oblivion everyday. Yesterday Ted Blotto Kennedy holding an "moment of silence" anniversary for Arub Gharib, now this. Ahhh yes, the `Rats will soon be gone the way of the Whigs. Let them get themselves voted out of existence.
I used to work for Randi Rhodes in the 1990s at WJNO. Also interned around her at WSHE when she was an 80s hair rock band whore. She had me fired from her show when she found out I was putting through republican point of view callers on purpose and dumping half of the calls that were just the same cookie cutter "Oh Randi you are so great" phone calls. I made the point to her that radio comes across more interesting when there is a different point of view half the time and people can freely debate their opinions with you if you feel confident that you know it all.
I want everyone to be aware of this fact. Randi Rhodes is a rock and roll DJ who happen to fall into a talk radio show gig that at the time of when she got it...it had nothing to do with politics. She only took on politics when Lewinsky became such a huge scandal.
She is and always will be an armchair genius. Nothing more but certainly and most possibly a lot less.

Liberals are allowed to say or do anything.
Air America is tailored to an audience of absolute idiots, easily influenced and/or motivated by whatever they hear from the ultraextreme zealot leftists. Dangerous people to incite.
"Uh-oh, I wonder where Rosie's hands are!"
If the the expression on her face is any indication, they are probably both up to the elbow in her own butt.
Didn't she once call for the assassination of the President before on the radio?
Gun-grabbing hypocrites.
Thanks for the inside scoop, MFH.
Those people should be committed. Their anger is really driving them nuts.
