They took the clip out of context to get Randi Rhodes suspended. Here is the full comedy act right here.

You were played like fools on this one. The same thing they did to Pastor Wright they just did to Randi Rhodes. Clearly it was Comedy Routine not on air and clearly freedom of speech. Green 960 is very pissed that they suspended Randi Rhodes over this. Context matters, but it seems the lastest FOX outrage is all that matters now. This was not a Air America event it was clearly green 960 event. Again this was not AIR AMERICA.
The CONTEXT MATTERS. Randi Rhodes SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED. You have been lied to and now a Progressive Radio show host has been suspended. I hope the lies were worth it to you.
