XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WED APRIL 27, 2005 09:01:25 ET XXXXX
AIR AMERICA RADIO INVESTIGATED AFTER BUSH 'GUNSHOTS'
**Exclusive**
The red-hot rhetoric over Social Security on liberal talkradio network AIR AMERICA has caught the attention of the Secret Service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Government officials are reviewing a skit which aired on the network Monday evening -- a skit featuring an apparent gunshot warning to the president!
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.
"Even joking about shooting the president is a crime, let alone doing it on national radio... we are taking this very seriously," a government source explained.
[A Randi Rhodes Fan site is offering an mp3 clip of the broadcast.]

Before anyone starts on the old "conservatives want the poor to starve" crap, recognize that conservatives believe in helping the disadvantaged, it's just not the government that's supposed to be doing the helping. If you're in trouble, you shouldn't go to the government for assistance, go to (1) your family, (2) your church, (3) get private monies from a donation-sponsored source.
You can argue about whether this is the good and proper way to do things, but to claim that the conservative stance is that the poor & disadvantaged should get no help whatsoever is wrong.
This doesn't count hysterical/histrionic extremists like Coulter and Savage (Hannity's actually not too bad.) But I use folks like the crew at National Review as my benchmark of what conservatism is/should be.We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham Lincoln

ajbera posted the Sludge Report about Randi Rhodes and the very off-color joke about violence against Pres. Bush. It was a fair example, but not what I was looking for.The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

Dracon, if you really want to understand the split, I cannot highly enough recommend last year's "What's the matter with Kansas" by Thomas Frank.

As someone who's tried to use these charities, let me tell you this is an evil thing to do. They are overwhelmed and terribly inefficient. Even the worst run government agencies are better run than the private charities I've had to deal with.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
