Randi Rhodes Suspended for Blanking Hillary Clinton
Specifically, our long-haired, sweet looking, 50-year-old little Randi used the words: 'whore' seven times, 'f---ing' seven times, 'f--k' four times, three almost shoots, and one each of words: 'a-hole', b-dog, and another good old 'f 'again, this time with the 'ed' ending. Randi was speaking live to a group in San Francisco, while the show was being recorded for a later broadcasting, according to Wikipedia.
Randi grew up in a Jewish home, according to Wikipedia, and this isn't the first time that she's been banned from the radio for her lack-of-ethics. In 1987 Randi was suspended from a different radio station for offending gays and advertisers and prior to that it appears that the Air Force asked her to leave in an unusual way that later produced an Honorable Discharge.
Air America knew what type of announcer it was that they were hiring in 2004, they were jointly sued for defamation in 2005, and here we are today wondering why Air America suspended Randi Rhodes for calling Hillary Clinton a 'Big... f---ing whore'? My question isn't why they chose to suspended her; I want to know why they hired her in the first place. Randi doesn't seem to have a very good track record.
Left-end liberal talk radio keeps going further downhill on entertainment value. The last time that I accidentally tuned it in instead of my favorite brand of chat, the unknown male commentator that I was listening to was just yelling. A nice man had called into the radio station, and had stated his position; then the announcer just started yelling whatever came into his head, some yelling didn't even fit the topic. The man on the phone sounded interesting... but, the nonsensical yelling went on long enough so that the man hung up.
Left-liberal people are supposed to be against both Clinton and Obama this year in their beliefs, but the radio stations big boss Charlie Kireker is listed on the Obama site as an Obama supporter. This has some political web sites like Radio Equalizer beginning to question why it took Radio America about two weeks to suspend Randi after her words.
The Randi conspiracy theory being promoted is that the radio station was tired of Randi's antics and wants to get out of their high-pay contract with her somehow, and this is the reason why a suspension was chosen for her two weeks after the bad words were spoken. In a way, it almost makes sense to me that something is wrong with a radio station devoted to liberal, with higher-ups supporting Obama, taking two weeks to suspend somebody who could have cost them their FCC license.
In the long-run, I don't believe that the left-end liberal radio stations will last. They are at the point right now where it is more yelling than entertainment, and Randi Rhodes just proved that she's out of ideas on what to say next, so she is filling in the blanks with lots of cussing just to waste time. When people go listen to a show about politics, it might be fun to hear one of these yelling ones once, but nobody is going to listen to something without any substance for any length of time.

Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable. And also because with a Clinton and Obama ticket you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon.
But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. "Carpe diem" (harvest the day).
I think Hillary Clinton see's a beautiful world of plenty for all. She is a woman, and a mother. And it's time America. Do this for your-selves, and your children's future. You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrop
YOU MIGHT BE AN IDIOT:-)
If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.
You Might Be An Idiot!
If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in recor

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to keep searching for a neutral radio station to listen to so I can get a real 'fair and balanced' discussion about current issues. AAR is looking more like a hate mongering hide out for the extremists of the Democratic Party. No thanks, I'll pass on that extreme stuff.
I believe Randi Rhodes has been going farther and farther to the left. I am a progressive centrist, but I had to give up on listening to Air America Radio because of Randi's rants. She would yell at callers, hang up on them when they didn't support her position (mostly because she appears to be in love with Obama), call them names and act like a child when she didn't get her way. Let's be honest here a minute, how many people say 'on the air' that they cried when they voted for Obama? That's a bit silly and extreme. I don't care if AAR fires her, gives her a leave of obscene or just says, "Whatever" and lets her stay. If they were to dump her and try to regain the centrists, I'd tune back in, but I just don't see that happening since the owner is an Obama supporter and appears to be even more left than Randi.

I guess the idea of free speech never crossed anyone's mind at Maxx. Look, you asked Randi to come to your "parade". I would assume fool on the inviting committee knew that she is VERY outspoken but invited her anyway. You pays your money and you takes your chances, "rightys"!!
There is no left or right - we are ALL Americans. However, the right (the overtly right and vociferous) would have you believe the country's divided into left and right. That conclusion is far from the truth. This article and the action of Air America constitute insidious and improper CENSORSHIP! You're trying to squelch the speech of those with which you disagree. As a Viet Nam vet that fought for our freedoms (albeit in a war that nothing to do with OUR freedoms), I vehemently condemn those as treasonous that would censor ANYONE let alone Randi Rhodes. Everyone has become so stupid in their atrophied lives that no one cares about free speech today. What a disgusting and sorrowful condition! As (the
