Did Air America actually celebrate the Pope's death on air?

I've listened from time to time for amusement's sake and this isn't the first time that they have "jokingly" talked about assasinating the President. Randi Rhodes has "joked" about it a couple of times, at least. We'll just see what the Secret Service thinks about her brand of "humor".

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 the opening of The Randi Rhodes Show.

"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.

I find that DU is actually more entertaining than Air America.

I listened to R.Rhodes one day and I swear....all I heard was, "OMG, like OMG. Bush is so stupid. I can't believe these people listen to this guy. He's stupid. OMG. OMG. Just OMG. We have to do something....like...go to DC and protest or something. Just OMG."

That was about it. Now, you don't have to tune in as I saved you 5 minutes of your life.

It was a bash-a-thon. And their message boards were loaded with remarks like "good riddence", "it's about time" etc. Nothing but pure vile and hatred.Check out Randi Rhodes message boards and see for yourself. Anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, anti-American bile spewing in every direction.

I thought they were against guns.

They are, for you. Socialism is an inherently evil belief system and as they lose ground the facade slips to reveal their true selves. They actually intend to rule wisely (according to their perverted concept of "fair"), but they intend to rule.

Contrast that to what Delay said about Judge Greer. Who's inciting violence again?

This is NOT THE FIRST TIME this hag used bullet sounds advocating the killing Of Prez Bush! I heard her make them with her own mouth MONTHS AGO....sounds of bullets and referred to Bush. I was shocked that she wasn't yanked off the air and taken to jail THEN. How can they let her get away with this?

This rhetoric inflames the left. With the recent spate of kill Bush t-shirts and stamps with a gun to the President's head, someone should be held accountable for this behavior. Charging those at Air America responsible for this may assist in putting an end to these threats.

I'm sure the same thing that happened to Craig Kilborn will happen to them. That is, nothing.

Are there any FReepers who actually listen to Air America?

I do.

I started listening last year, and immediately labeled it the "Bevis and Butthead" Radio network: Hours of name-calling punctuated by personal gay (as in pervert) personal adventures and Public Service announcements.
"Losers Radio" would also fit.

A little of that goes a long way. I listened for an hour each morning and night while commuting, but had to take a break after a month, to recover my sanity.

Now I listen a few days each time. Nothing has changed.
