Reinstate Randi. So what if Fox Noise makes hay of it? Randi's comments were made off the air and in a comedic fashion. So does this mean Chris Rock can't come on air at AAR? And Chris would've been way harder on GF and HRN than Randi, and way more vulgar.Reinstate Randi.
At first I thought it was justified and then I actually learned the real facts. AAR management has really screwed up. I have no doubt not only will you lose Randi, but you'll be giving her a large check after her lawyers are done with you. And that unfortunately will be the end of AAR, because you all seem to get rid of all the great talent. I really have to wonder if Republicans are actually running AAR.
Americans can lie, steal murder, destroy whole nations with impunity but they may not use controversial language. Their puerile, puritanical mindset knows nothing but hypocrisy.
Reinstate! It is rediculous Randi was suspended for something she said ON STAGE ... it is not like she said it over the radio. Sheesh! Freedom of speech much? I will no longer listen to AAR until Randi has been reinstated.
I can not believe this has even taken place. For those comparing it to the Imus comments - get real. She was not speaking about everyday people, these are politicans! I will not listen to ANY AAR station/show until she is reinstated. I truly believe this is the work of a Hillary supporter, and I used to be one. I will not vote for her now. This is a domino affect people. An opinion should not be penalized in politics - not in America. AAR is folding to political pressure, it's the politicians who need a backbone! It's time for Hillary to grow up, and for AAR to support its supporters. There are none more valuable than Randi. I LOVE YOUR PASSION, RANDI! Where ever you go, I will follow. Thom, Big Eddy, Steph, Sam, you all need to support Randi.
We consider Randi one of the best voices on the air. This is pure censorship and we're amazed AAR would bend over and do this. I am disappointed in AAR management. Get a backbone. Bring her back immediately.
We need informed outspoken liberals at this crucial time. It is rediculas to go after Rhandi and not get Rush off the air. He is much more offensive to any man woman or thinking person
I miss my Randi!! I am in a town where our local talk radio station runs 8 hours of conservative blowhards (Liddy, Limbaugh, and Hannity) it was refreshing to hear Randi's voice and I hope that she will be back on the air soon.
If conservative radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reily are allowed to say whatever they want, Air America should not be suppressing the voices of the other side. It is time to show America that Liberalism is the way to go.
We the listeners are not fooled by AAR’s ham-fisted move to silence Randi Rhodes. You couldn't get her for on air rants against Hillary, so you jumped on her
AAR, Randi Rhodes doesn't need you, you need Randi Rhodes. She can easily just move to NovaM. Show your appreciation for all the work she put into your network and let her back on the air.
...and Randi's absence will make it easier for the McCain-Perdue ticket to win this November - and make it illegal to buy a six-pack of Budweiser at a grocery store in any other state in the nation - just as it IS illegal in the state of Georgia. Memo to Sonny Perdue - leave me and my grocer alone!
Rhandi Rhodes has kept me sane for years now. I don't always agree with her , but i depend on her perspective and humor. Air America has the right to run their programming as they see fit, but off air profanity at a private party for an affiliate should not condemn Ms. Rhodes' audience to the extent of having to turn to the internet to listen to her. Rhandi is the reason i turned to all off Air America's other programming. Please put her back on the air. I think indefinate suspension is going too far. sincerely,tara daly
I am SICKENED that AAR would choose to do this to Randi after all she has done for progressive causes. Believe me, I am much more loyal to Randi than to AAR. And that is a FACT.
Rhandi Has been fair. She has been honest. She only openly spoke out against Sen. Clinton when Clinton said publicly that she and Mcain had the experience to run the country. That was unacceptable to us Democrats. Clinton's supporters should stop hating. They should also stop Clinton from putting her interests above the party and the country. Rhandi stands for the country and she suffers. She is in good company though. Look at all the people in history who suffered for just causes. We are all for Rhandi. We say reinstate her now.
Although Randi is controversial, and I quite often support the things she says, or even agree with her, she is well-researched and articulate. Bring her back. We need voices like Randi's.
I am disappointed and somewhat confused at Air America's decision to do this. I would expect something this insane from the right wing idiocy that runs this country, not from a forum that is supposed to be
I am becoming more and more disillusioned by the programming direction on Air America. This latest blunder by the Management of AA is the last straw for me. Consider me a lost listener until Ms. Rhodes is reinstated without penalty or prejudice.
Randi did nothing more than point out some truths in her own inimitable way--the northern brand of racism inherent in Ferraro's comments on Obama...and whore can be applied to anyone who takes money for special favors. Reinstate her now!!!!
Please reinstate Randi Rhodes ASAP. She is one of the bright lights on your network! I have been a passionately loyal listener to Air America since the beginning and have continued to stand up for the network even after many mistaken decisions that in my mind have diminished the stature AND the programming (among them, firing Marc Maron, Mike Malloy, Kent Jones, reducing Sam Seder
Air America Radio management is pro-Clinton for the primaries and I believe that has more to do with her suspension than anything else; that and all the noise the Hillary people must have made.
Hey, Mark Green, you keep making one great decision after another for AAR. Way to go. I stopped listening to AAR when you got rid of Sam Seder, but I felt the need to give my two cents on this anyway.
it is unconscionable that air ameirca has suspened randi rhodes! it is an outrage! i will boycott air america and its sponsors. mark green is a propagandist for hillary and bill clinton! free speech..Bull Sh*t mark green!
Randi Rhodes is the main reason I listen to AirAmerica, then Rachael Maddow, and Stephanie Miller, though she is not on Air America, she is on my Air America affilate and I'm glad.I will boycott AirAmerica gladly if you fire Randi Rhodes, Free Speech is what the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party stands up for, noth the shutting down of someone speaking truth to power, and NOT on the airwaves, and to the approval of the audience!C'mon Air America, do the right thing!
