This is outrageous! If Rush had said something like this about Klintoon, he would have been jailed and his broadcast license would be gone forever.

[bahblahbah]

It was probably a media stunt to boost their ratings.

[EagleUSA]

The liberal double standard...and it would have been on the front page of every lib-slop rag in the country. For weeks!!!

The left is beyond disgusting. But the right has to fight back. HARD.

[Wiseghy]

If they're not, they should be. This is beyond bad taste. The FCC should also be taking a hard, hard look at this one as well. I would expect a record fine, of nothing else. Just where do we draw the line, if not here?

You can bet a conservative host would be out the door in a heartbeat. Can you imagine anyone threatening Clinton this way?

[Viking2002]

Err Amerika should be taken off the air permanently. What they did was a violation of federal law, period, and those responsible should be tossed in the hoosegow. Now, just imagine what would happen if these inciteful seditionists were to be given a pass, and their bureaucratic lackeys were able to ramrod the Fairness Doctrine down our throats, as well. They'd be prodding the lunatic masses on the Left to take out the president while they sit back, laugh over the airwaves, and wipe their keisters on the First Amendment.

Lock and load, people. It won't take much more for the vermin of our society to finally light the match.

[GreyFriar]

Why is it that this type of "opinion" is repeatedly coming from the liberal/leftist/Democrats and is seen as "harmless joking" yet the "right wing" does nothing of this type, but is proclaimed by those leftists of wanting to do it to their candidates? (Rhetorical)

Whoops, I forgot, they have to do this to violate the law to be able to claim that when they are arrested for threatening the life of the president, they are being politically persecuted for their opinions!

[proxy_user]

That seems like a most strange thing for them to say.

You would think they would be complaining that the Secret Service and the Bush administration were infringing on their right of free speech.

[GVnana]

Air America needs a story that won't die.

[Pillows]

Does anyone have an audio clip of this?

HERE'S THE FIRST THREAD ON THIS:

FIRST THREAD

[TheForceOfOne]

If you take into consideration Nicholson Baker's "Checkpoint", one would be less likely to consider Randi's satire as some sort of Freudian Slip. Bring her in for a full mental examination just in case she is serious.

It is a crime to promote this type of activity against the President of the United States of America and should be treated as such.

I also think tying up Airhead America's finances in court for a couple of years to defend themselves would serve them right.

[Bossy Gillis]

Problem is, nobody heard it, if Rush had said it, yes, it would be all over the place.

[Reactionary]

I guess gunshots pass as erudite commentary among the liberal set.

After all, they're about on the same level as the Brownshirts. And just as creative and smart.

[LibWhacker]

Yeah, that's what they think. I'd give anything to be the Secret Service agent who got to take down and arrest Randi Rhodes. I'm sure I'd use the crossface chicken wing power piledriver on her. Or something like that. I'd brush up on it first.

[theDentist]

And what does the Secret Service say?

[squirt-gun]

Limousine morons

[L.N. Smithee]

This is reminiscent of the indescribably revolting Hot 97 FM (New York) song calling tsunami victims "chinks" and portraying God as saying, "Swim, you b*tches!" They apologized for that, but I have a hard time believing people that could conceive, write, and record such a vile thing in the first place would have such a rapid change of heart.

For what it's worth: FR's favorite comedienne (NOT!) Margaret Cho's new tour is called "The Assassin Tour." Hmmm -- I wonder what she means by that???

[freekitty]

These people are sick and I have heard that Rhodes person is real trash.

[libs_kma]

"If Rush had said something like this about Klintoon, he would have been jailed and his broadcast license would be gone forever."

Or at the very least, Klintoon and Satan's daughter would have made sure Mr. Limbaugh received the "special" treatment from Hellary's longtime bud at the IRS.

The same IRS treatment all Klintoon's sex victims got, and also any organization that asked Hellary about her horns and pitchfork.

[Fudd Fan]

it's always "just a joke!" when they get called on it. The 'RAT idiots.

[Flux Capacitor]

----In a press release, Air America said, "We are not under investigation from the Secret Service."----

I wonder if these homicidal freakazoids actually believe this. The Secret Service has likely been keeping tabs on this Children's Crusade of the Airwaves since the first time Randi Rhodes threatened the President during her show -- that little bit where she wished for something to the effect of Tony Soprano showing up to "take care" of Bush, then puckered her lips into a cute little gunshot sound effect.
