RE: RANDI RHODES The Corner Tim Graham Air America, full of venom? That's funny. The New York Times listened to Air America's first day last year and complained there was not enough "rage." But in retrospect, the funniest part of that article was Janeane Garofalo insisting they would not be as nasty as right-wingers. "On the left traditionally, you've got a nicer type of person. You've got a person who is more willing to engage in conversations that have context and nuance." nationalreview.com timeswatch.org mrc.org

Speaking of Hate Speech... Power Line The Trunk noted earlier today that the President of St. Thomas University, where Ann Coulter gave a speech last week, issued a statement denouncing her talk, and branding it as "hate speech." (This was without the benefit of having heard the speech, of course.) A local newspaper columnist wrote, I believe, two columns making the same charge. Meanwhile, some actual hate speech has occurred on Air America, where--not for the first time--the program's liberal hosts have encouraged the assassination of President Bush. Matt Drudge has the story: <<< The announcer: "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 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. [audio of gun being cocked]." The audio production at the center of the controversy aired during opening minutes of The Randi Rhodes Show. "What is with all the killing?" Rhodes said, laughing, after the clip aired. >>> We have commented a number of times on the frequency with which liberals advocate the assassination of President Bush. Sometimes it's supposed to be funny. Sometimes it's supposed to be art. Sometimes it's just flat-out, unvarnished hate. But I'm not aware of a single Democratic official who has criticized those who advocate assassinating the President. It will be interesting to see whether the President of St. Thomas and our local columnists will take an interest in actual hate speech, as opposed to speech with which they disagree. Update Via M Malkin: Here's a link to the Randi Rhodes show's broadcasts. And here are the MP3 audio files: 1 2.

MORE RE: RANDI RHODES & AIR AMERICA Tim Graham The Corner Ten years ago, on April 24, 1995, with the Oklahoma City bombing still echoing in the news, President Clinton denounced "promoters of paranoia" on the "airwaves." Peter Jennings relayed: "Clinton did not say so specifically but he clearly had the words of many ultra-conservative talk radio hosts in mind. All you have to do is listen to some of them to hear how they react to those with whom they do not agree." The network newscasters demonized talk radio as "democracy run amok." Tom Brokaw said Clinton appeared to aim at "talk radio programs that cater to the far right of the political spectrum" and that talk had "achieved a machine gun reputation in recent years." Who's betting they'll ignore Randi Rhodes tonight? nationalreview.com mrc.org
