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.]

I've met XM's CEO and I've visited their corporate offices.

I've never met a crunchier, more PC management team in my life.

It doesn't surprise me at all.

I understand - but I just don't want the media - even rightwing media - to give this a lot of play. They should be ignored - visited by men in dark sunglasses - but ignored by the media.

the funny thing is that with the Internet in full growth mode... these pathetic losers are the buggy whip makers of the entertainment/information industry.

Think of the last "Tony" award winners ............ exactly, localized to a niche liberal Northeast market of psuedo-intellectuals that wear glasses to make themselves "look" smart, talk with a smirk(cause they are so smart and "middle America" is so stupid), and generally don't have a clue how to earn a living.... so they are left out of the mainstream to put their little wet noses on the windows of success and poop in the front yard.

I saw the HBO special on Air America.... it was great, fantastic,.... I don't know if it intended to portray the libs in any certain light, but just the sheer hypocrisy, stupidity of marketing, arrogance and condescension came through like a beacon in the fog.

The left's "answer" to right wing radio is a joke..... (ba-dum-pum) an old vaudeville joke told by, relics of PC thinking and socialist/communitst anti-American, blame the US "has beens" that couldn't get a job without lying, plagarizing, or bl#wing somebody (both male and female).

I hope Air America stays on for a long time..... it was great to see them struggle to make payrolls, pay health insurance and learn a lesson on how hard it really is to be a "big bad corporation". How to earn a living and make a profit in order to grow and develop an audience without a media monopoly.

Welcome to the fight libs...... Now it's time to grow up you whiny socialists....it's about time... mommy's not here to pick up after you and pay your bills, this is "big boy" school now. hahahahahahaa

That makes me want to switch to Sirius.

I guess they figure if they can't win an election, this is all they have left. They are pitiful creatures, aren't they?

Well, John Effing Kerrey was not prosecuted when he could have been because Nixon did not want to make a martyr out of him.

I think we need as many martyrs as we can create, if they are as brainless as this bunch. None of them should get a "pass".

I agree. I welcome them to my area just so the Southern "church going" liberals can see just how anti-christian and "hate everybody that disagrees with them" they are.

They have even less talk radio skills than hannity does. Its hard to believe but they do. They are fun to listen to for the comedy value though.

I thought they didn't like guns.

Communists LOVE guns. Remember the October Revolution in Russia.

The filthy marxist skank Randi Rhodes is a very hateful person. When she was on the air down here in south Florida her 3 hour show was nothing but a conservative and republican hatefest. I hope this bitch goes to jail for threatening the president.
