    Lightbulb Ais America Radio investigated after Bush 'gunshots'

    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.

    Developing...

    <I>They broke a clearly defined law. Not that it matters. Air America will be shut down pretty soon anyway, since no one listens to them.

    I surprised that anyone was listening to the network when they tried this stunt.</I>

    Air America?

    I don't even think FORD listens to that.

    But while we are at it, I've got a question for liberals here.

    We all know that Limbaugh is the most successful talk show host in the history of the medium monetarily and audience wise. My question is, why hasn't liberal radio caught on, and where's Limbaugh's foil?

    Rush has answered this very question himself MANY MANY times...

    Actually Howard Stern trumps him, I think.

    And to answer your question, I don't have a good answer other than I've heard "Air America" did not start like Rush did. he started locally and expanded gradually building up a loyal fan base in the process.

    Air America tried to start as a national network, something unwise and more difficult to do.

    It took Mush several years to get the audience he has. Same with Stern, for that matter.

    Air America has gained 53 broadcast affiliates in just over a year, in addition to listeners who listen to internet streams where radio is not available. And in July, they will be available on XM satellite radio 24 hours a day.

    I'd say for a 13 month old network, they're doing pretty good.

    As far as the alleged incident in question, this is the first I've heard of it, and I'm not taking Drudge's word for it. But I wonder where rave queen's concern is for Tom DeLay and John Cornball threatening the lives of judges? And those threats were carried live from the capitol floors on TV.

    What's funny is the judge DeLay made those remarks about was appointed by W's dad. OOOPS!

    Yeah, Delay really said we should string them up!



    I want quotes where he threatened a judge's life.

    "The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior."

    This quote doesn't qualify.

    People tend to forget that a good portion of what Drudge posts is either near complete bullshit or severally exaggerrated out of context.

    I've read both supporters and detractors alike say he has lost his edge and is just another internet filter of news, a clearing house of other people's articles.

    Aren't they doing so well they are filing for bankruptcy or getting sued because they can't pay their employees?

    Yeah, that's doing great!

    Well, they're obviously making enough money that even FEAR CHANNEL stations are running their programming now. While it's true that Fear Channel is a right wing corporation founded literally with BCE money, they put greed above all else. And if they thought Air America was a financial risk, they wouldn't be signing up their stations to air programming that goes against their cowardly friend in the White House.

    That's what I was thinknig when I was reading the claim it was bullshit or exaggerated.

    I can't listen to it as I'm on school and don't have speakers, but it's hard to bullshit actual audio

    It's also hard to take seriously a government that investigates "Air America" for an obvious comedy bit. Aren't there enough children being abducted and raped lately?

    Yeah, we wouldn't want the Federal Gov't do this like, oh let's see, control the borders, investigate child murders, find terrorists. They should roust liberal radio programs on trumped up charges.

    They should play more Sammy Hagar on that faggit liberel station!

    Ow! Forgive me father, for I have sinned
    I've been through hell and back again
    I shook hands with the devil
    Looked 'im in the eye
    Looked like a long lost friend

    Ow-ah, anything you want, any dirty deeds
    He's got everything 'cept what I really need
    Keepin' me temporarily satisfied
    But not one thing I've tried
    Filled me up inside or felt like mine
    Mine all mine

    Yeah, the search goes on
    The more I look, my world keeps gettin' smaller
    Staring at the sun, searchin' for the light
    Almost ended up blind Some only see what they wanna see
    Claiming victory, oh but that's not me
    Gimme truth, gimme somethin' real
    I just wanna feel like it's mine all mine

    (Ooh-ooo-ooh)
    Ooh-oo-ooh, really mine
    (Mine all mine)
    Come on, 'n gimme somethin'
    (Ooh-oo-ooh)
    Somethin', that's mine all mine all mine

    (Guitar Solo)

    Mine all mine

    All the words on the wall look the same in the mirror
    Every riddle and every clue
    Ow, you've got Allah in the east
    You've got Jesus in the west
    Christ, what's a man to do?

    They'll find a cure for anything
    Just kill the pain or numb my brain
    We see a man speakin' the word of God
    Provin' to be a fraud. his own church applauds
    Stop lookin' out, start lookin' in
    Be your own best friend
    Stand up and say "Hey! This is mine!"

    (Ooh-oo-ooh)
    Ooh, all mine
    (Mine all mine)
    Yeah
    'N baby you've got somethin'
    (Ooh-oo-ooh)
    Uh! An', and I got somethin'
    (Mine all mine)
    Hey, and it's mine all mine all mine

    Uh!
    (Mine all mine)
    Ooooh!
    (Mine all mine)
    Yes, I'm searchin'
    (Mine all mine)
    Uh-I got to have it
    (Mine all mine)
    Oooh ow!
    (Mine all mine)
    Well
    (Mine all mine)
    Got ta, got ta, got to
    (Mine all mine)
    Got to have it. Ow!
    (Mine all mine)
    Uh! Uh! Uh!

    I believe you're wrong.

    Stern out draws and out earns I think.

    I may be the one who is wrong

    I won't make any comments until I download the clip itself. And Drudge's link is dead.
