STATEMENT OF AIR AMERICA RADIO, FROM CHAIR CHARLIE KIREKER
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 3, 2008
New York - Air America has suspended on-air host Randi Rhodes for making inappropriate statements about prominent figures, including Senator Hillary Clinton, at a recent public appearance on behalf of Air America in San Francisco which was sponsored by an Air America affiliate station.
"Air America encourages strong opinions about public affairs but does not condone such abusive, ad hominem language by our Hosts," said chair Charlie Kireker.
BOYCOTT FROM ALL OBAMA SUPPORTERS
Obama supporters are calling for a boycott of Air America and it's sponsors for the suspension of Randy Rhodes. This is America and even though George Bush has tried his best to make it not so, the constitution is still the law of the land and the first amendment still applies. She was doing a comedy skit in her remarks and I'm sure the Clinton machine didn't like it, but this is America! And just like she has the right to freedom of speech, you have the right to suspend her, and WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO BOYCOTT YOUR RADIO SHOWS AND IT'S SPONSORS UNTIL YOU BRING HER BACK!!! No Lionel, American are not stupid, just wait and see how smart we are!
