"How did we reach the point where Air America calls Hillary a 'whore'?"

Indeed. Randi Rhodes agrees with Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro on everything - abortion, health care, climate change, you name it. Yet the first is "a f***ing whore" and the second is "David Duke in drag" merely because they disagree on which Democratic senator would make the best president. The people applying these deranged epithets to the Clintons are in large part the very same people who spent the Nineties applying equally deranged epithets to anyone who disagreed with the Clintons.

The left's Discoursometer is like one of those shower units where the slightest nudge turns it to scalding.

How does he think of these things!? What a mind.

Amazingly, Randi Rhodes has managed to embarrass a few people on the left. Not many, but a few. I didn’t think any leftie could be embarrassed by bad behavior of one of their own. They didn’t care when randi got falling down drunk and curbstoned herself, but calling hillary a whore is apparently over the line for some libs.

Rhodes doesn't seem to have recovered from the brain injury she got in that mugging.

born Randi Buten

Her married name is Randi Robertson; Rhodes is a stage name chosen to honor Ozzy Osbourne’s guitar player Randy Rhoads

Rhodes was suspended in 1987 when their program offended the homosexual community and led several businesses to cancel ads

The Miami Herald described her as “a chain-smoking bottle blond,...part Joan Rivers, part shock jock Howard Stern and part Saturday Night Live’s ‘Coffee Talk’ lady. But mostly, she’s her rude, crude, loud, brazen, gleeful self.”

Rhodes said, “Geraldine Ferraro turned out to be David Duke in drag... What a whore Geraldine Ferraro is! She’s such a f*cking whore! I want to see her have to stand beside her husband at one of those mandatory ‘I have sinned against you I’m a whore kind of a press conference.’ Mr. Ferraro should have to stand next to his whore of a wife... Hillary is a big f*cking whore, too.”

Rhodes enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1977 and worked stateside at McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey as a mechanic, achieving the rank of Airman First Class. She left the Air Force early and relocated to Ohio, where she participated in a program called Palace Chase to release her to the reserves and honorably discharge her. Although she left active duty before her contract was up, she still received an honorable discharge after completing the program.

Read Orwell's “Homage to Catalonia” and you'll have no doubts why a scumbag fame-whore like Rhodes would call a scumbag on her political side of the fence a whore.

In 1994 Rhodes married Jim Robertson, an independent television producer and cameraman. They had been together for ten years prior to marrying, but the marriage didn’t work out. Rhodes and Robertson divorced in April 2004 but have remained friends. Rhodes took the name Robertson when she married, but continued to use her professionally known name, Randi Rhodes, on the air.

Randi Rhodes:
Repeat offender
Radio host who ran bit threatening Bush
joked about killing president 1 year ago

2008 WorldNetDaily.com

Randi Rhodes, the leftist talk-radio host who found herself in hot water yesterday for airing a skit that warned President Bush with gunfire, has joked about assassinating the commander in chief before.
Last May, Rhodes, who hosts a show on the struggling Air America network, imitated the sound of gunfire while saying somebody ought to take the president fishing and then shoot him.

On May 12, New York Daily News columnist Michael Goodwin wrote a piece criticizing Air America, saying he had listened to the liberal radio network one day for 10 hours.

Air America’s Randi Rhodes

“The queen of venom, Randi Rhodes, followed [Al] Franken in the host slot,” Goodwin wrote. “Her imitation of a cracker military type telling a soldier to ‘insert this fluorescent light bulb into that man’s buttocks’ was revolting. She compared U.S. prisons in Iraq to the ‘Nazi gulag’ and said, ‘The day I say thank you to Rumsfeld is the same day I’ll say thank you to the 12 people who raped me.’

Goodwin then notes Rhodes compared Bush and his family to the Corleones in the “Godfather” saga.

A review of the show’s recording reveals Rhodes said the following in a discussion with a caller:

“The Fredo of the family is the president of the United States, so why doesn’t his father or his brother … take him out for a little fishing, and let him say some Hail Marys – he loves God so much. … You know, Hail Mary, full of grace, God is with thee – pow [gunshot sound] – works for me.”

As WorldNetDaily reported, on Monday Rhodes opened her show with an audio skit.

The announcer said: “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 four gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. [audio of gun being cocked].”

The left hates Hitlery because as daft as they are, they are finally realizing the puppets on the left and the puppets on the right are controlled by the same puppetmasters. Everytime the Dems in Congress back down to Bush, they realize the game is fixed. Of course, until most people realize Obama is a more likeable version of Hillary, they’ll never be truly aware. It took conservatives 6 or 7 years to realize the neocons are just liberals who love war that switched parties in the 70s and 80s. Hopefully one day America will awaken, realize what’s happened, and fight back to reclaim it’s destiny.
