Randi Rhodes advises Gulf Coast listeners

Air America's Randi Rhodes
In a broadcast yesterday, Air America radio talk radio host Randi Rhodes repeatedly urged listeners in the hurricane-devastated Gulf Coast to go out and loot, insisting the poor should be allowed to steal goods at will.

The leftist host, who has sparked controversy in the past for advocating the assassination of President Bush, said hurricane victims should avoid discount centers such as Wal-Mart and focus their looting on higher-end stores in order to get good quality products, according to Ned Rice, a contributor to National Review Online's weblog "The Corner."


Rice wrote, "I'm not sure if Randi was joking or serious (although with her it's always hard to be sure), but even in jest, should she be allowed to do this on the air?"

In April, Rhodes aired a skit that warned Bush with gunfire, and in a broadcast last year, she imitated the sound of gunfire while saying somebody ought to take the president fishing and then shoot him.

As WorldNetDaily reported, Rhodes opened her show with an audio skit.

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]."

Government sources took the skit "very seriously," though Air America denies there's any federal probe taking place.

Rhodes has since apologized for the joke, saying it was a "stupid bit."

"If the bit was understood to be a threat against the president," Rhodes explained, "I need to apologize to the president of the United States, and I do. I also need to apologize to the Secret Service [which] has a very, very serious job. If they had to take two seconds out of their day to look into me, I apologize for that. ... But where is the apology when they threaten judges from the Senate floor or from the House floor? Or where's the investigation into [WND columnist] Ann Coulter's mouth? ...

"[My apology] is sincere. I feel bad that anybody would feel threatened by comedy. That's one thing, but I also feel bad that it wasn't funny. And I also feel bad that there could be a perception that I would be advocating violence against anybody, let alone the president of the United States of America. It's no secret that I think he's a terrible president, but I don't think that anybody should have violence advocated against them in any way, shape or form ever! ... That [skit] will never see the light of day again. It was bad."

betcha her apology wasn't sincere, just lip service.

Shoot, I heard the skit and wondered if she would hear from the Secret Service. It was a terrible bit, and all her cronies and Kool-Aid drinkers were all laughing it up. There was no other way to interpret it, except she thought that killing this President would be funny. This woman is truly disgusting, she race-baits constantly and her whiney-ass voice just grates on my nerves. I listen to hear what the left might be saying, but can only stand about 10 minutes at a time. That's okay though because the other 2 hours and 50 minutes are all repeats of those 10 minutes anyway.
