Re: STATEMENT OF AIR AMERICA RADIO, FROM CHAIR CHARLIE KIREKER | Air America Radio

This is the posting that I've been attempting to add to the Air America blog in response to their statement concerning the suspension of Randi Rhodes for remarks about Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro (she called each of them, in their turn, f-king whores) made off air in a stand-up comedy routine, (video embed below), but for some reason my posting never appears on their site:

Get real Charlie. While I believe that the usual message that Air America delivers is what progressives want and need to hear, I also believe that its actions in this matter are counter progressive and work to support a very conservative position. Randi Rhodes has been the jewel in the crown of the progressive movement. Suspending her is the stupidest thing I can imagine, and represents the sort of pissy and scolding type of behavior that I would expect of the repressive Bush administration and the formerly Republican congress.

I notice that there is a lot of talk around the net and even on this blog calling for a boycott of Air America until Randi is reinstated. I want you to know that I reject that idea because it will not get the message across.

I am calling for a boycott of all advertisers and asking that people take the time to call each advertiser and tell them that you would never think of doing business with them until Randi Rhodes is not only reinstated but offered a sincere apology as well.

Hit Air America in the pocketbook.
When that happens they will listen to us.
