Randi Rhodes calls Hillary, Ferraro “whores.”
Liberal shock jock Randi Robertson, who works as Randi Rhodes in honor of the famous guitarist Randy Rhoads, has been suspended indefinately by http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=1215 of the Hillary campaign as a result of what she said, highlighting the growing rift between elements of the Democratic grand coalition, a rift that has widened as the nomination campaign continues.
Rhodes saved her most venomous comments for Hillary Clinton, pointing out accurately how deceitful Clinton is. Air America responded to calls for Rhodes to be punished with a statement: “Air America has suspended on-air host Randi Rhodes for making inappropriate statements about prominent figures, including Senator Hillary Clinton, at a recent public appearance on behalf of Air America in San Francisco which was sponsored by an Air America affiliate station. “http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2307 and, finally, the intervention of the Catholic League.
This is not the first speech controversy surrounding Randi Rhodes. She was sued by the CACI mercenary firm for alleging that their personnel raped and murdered Iraqi civilians. In the wake of the Katrina hurricane, Rhodes, who is Jewish, was the recipient of a protest letter from the Anti-Defamation League, an extremist group that attempts to insert itself into various events and acts like an “expert” on topics of speech. The ADL was uspet that Rhodes had compared the treatment of Katrina survivors to that of Jews in the Second World War. Rhodes also landed in hot water for joking about the death of President Bush.
In October of 2007 Rhodes was off the air for days after she was injured in New York, and made the initial claim that she had been mugged. Another Air America host speculated that she had been attacked by right wing radio fans, but Rhodes later said that the incident had occurred after she had been drinking and had no recall of what happened.
Air America Radio was started by New York real estate mogul Stephen L. Green and his brother Mark J. Green, a prominent leftist lawyer and political activist, as a counter effort against highly influential conservative talk radio. The network has had serious financial problems from the outset, leading to bailouts by international oligarch George http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3173, along with actor Rob Reiner (“Meathead” on the old Archie Bunker show), Simon Rosenberg of the New Democrat Network, which seeks to attract Hispanic support for the Democrats, Silicon Valley investor Andrew Rappaport, and Rob Stein, the former chief of staff to Clinton Commerce Secretary Ron Brown.
The climate of censorship in America is stoked by groups like the ADL and is bound to continue as America declines.
