"We're really blessed in this country to have the Judeo-Christian tradition of wanting to love each other and help each other have better lives and to enjoy life and be good to each other. As opposed to the tradition of some Islamofascist localities where they do the reverse - sending their own children off to be blown up."

    Air America’s Randi Rhodes: Busted for Advocating Criminal Acts

    The loathsome Air America is again advocating political assassination:

    The audio production came during the opening minutes of “The Randi Rhodes Show” Monday night, according to the Drudge Report.

    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].”

    Randi Rhodes pretended to be surprised by the clip:

    “What is with all the killing?” Rhodes said, laughing, after the clip aired.

    But she’s busted, because the last time something like this happened at Air America, it was also on her show, as I noted in a previous post:

    ...Rock bottom came when [Randi Rhodes] 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.

    Note to Randi Rhodes: a) it’s not funny and b) it’s illegal.

    But a government source told Drudge, “Even joking about shooting the president is a crime, let alone doing it on national radio … we are taking this very seriously.”

    IN RELATED NEWS, Air America’s ratings are its lowest ever.
