Air America = Dumbest of them all

A Drudge Report came up that caught my eye:

AIR AMERICA RADIO INVESTIGATED AFTER BUSH 'GUNSHOTS' **Exclusive**The red-hot rhetoric over Social Security on liberal talk radio 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.

Death threats against the U.S. President are a Federal crime.

Arrest the people responsible for this airing. This wasn't the first time Randi Rhodes did something like this when she mimicked a gun shot in the Godfather movie scene:

Rock bottom came when she compared Bush and his family to the Corleones in the "Godfather" saga. "Like Fredo, somebody ought to take him out fishing and phuw," she said, imitating the sound of gunfire.

Like I said, Err America is the dumbest of them all. They rather make crude jokes all day long than to make actual, valid discussions and arguments. Anybody who "jokes" on taking out a President, whether a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, what have you, ought to get jailed for making suggestion via incitement to a crowd (over a radio, television, in public, whatever) to get them charged hoping somebody nutty enough will do this. The same goes for people who make suggestions on firebombing churches or Walmart stores. And people will report these things to the FBI as we have already seen. People who makes these veiled threats of violence to harm, injure people or, in this case, the President in order to make a political statement are nothing but nutty people who have nothing better in their life.

These people have zero intelligence when they say these things but blithely comment that "Oh, I'm only joking." Poor excuse to make a joke over a public arena hoping to incite somebody to actually kill a U.S. President. Very dumb, indeed.

FBI, go get Randi Rhodes.

UPDATE: From Drudge Report - AIR AMERICA HOST RANDI RHODES APOLOGIZED WEDNESDAY FOR THE NETWORK'S AIRING OF A SKIT WHICH APPEARED TO TIE A GUNSHOT THREAT TO PRESIDENT BUSH... 'IT WAS A LAME ATTEMPT AT HUMOR, I APOLOGIZE... IT WAS BAD'...


Tis a bit late, Randi. I hope Err America gets its FCC radio licence yanked. And yanked hard. Don't know how many lefty loonies will take your advice on assassinating the President over the Social Security issue. Nice going you twit. Twice in a row, too.
