I'm a Hillary Clinton supporter, but you need to reinstate Randi immediately. If Rush Limbaugh had been held to the same standards, he would have been fired eons ago!What happened to free speech?
Please, you're the PROGRESSIVE radio, stop exhibiting such fear-based, knee-jerk reactions, i.e. stop being such pussies! Grow a set. Or maybe Rush is right about the feminization of America.
OK, grandstanding over. I was at SF venue. No one of 500 of us was complaining. We knew it was standup comedy.Randi was very funny. NOW GET HER BACK ON THE AIR! Show us you are more mature than you seem and support the values of the Constitution-like freedom of speech.
Its time the progressives stand up and grow some teeth. The last time I checked, free speach was part of the Constitution. Why is it that O'Reilly, Limbaugh, et al aren't suspended for any of their racist and over-the-top comments but when a host on our side finally shows some emotion and frustration, the
REALLY AAR SUSPENDS Randi Rhodes ?!?!?!? GEt your heads outta your butts and bring back your best host EVER!! I have listened to AAR since day 1 and I will not listen again until Randi is brought back and apologized to!!
come on AAR, this was a stand up routine. you are making more of it than was intended and now 'silencing' her voice. joining the ranks of fox broadcasting is not the way to go. slap her wrists (since I am sure she didn't think she was damaging YOUR reputation) and get her back on the air where she belongs.
Oh this is ridiculous! Imus is back on the air after what he said, and it was much worse than what Randi said. I guess contards get more rights than libs. Sad. We want Randi back on!!!!
What a travesty. Radio talking heads on the right can use far worse language ON THE AIR and the right laps it up. They don't get suspended or even reprimanded. But Randi says something off the air, and because the powers that be are offend (over a week later, BTW) she gets suspended?Where is your backbone?Reinstate NOW> otherwise you are no better than FOX.
Is AAR board of directors populated by dirty GOP bastards? Fascists? Cowards? What happened to the 1st Amendment? AAR is Anti-Democratic and Marc Green is a wussy. Rehire Mike Malloy too ! Dorks !
It is an outrage that Randi has been banned from Air America! She was off the air, in a private venue, exercising her 1st Amendment Rights as part of a comedy routine. Keeping her off the air is a huge win for Conservatives – helloooo! We must reinstate her ASAP!Jonathan Jonathan W. Logan, JDBetterWorldMortgage.com Portland, Oregon
It's rather perturbing to think that censorship is so alive and well in America today. By suspending her you are showing the other side your set of cards and no longer are a unintimitable voice of reason. She has spoken about the two-faced nature of politics in the past, of both these women (Clinton
Randi's comments have not shocked me, but Air America's cowardly reaction to them certainly has. Randi provokes listeners to think--that's her job and she does it brilliantly. Air America, do the right thing and bring Randi back now!
