1. As for those who seem outraged by Air America's decision to
suspend then fire her, I remind you that Randi was not only telling half of all loyal Democrats to go fuck themselves, but half of Air America's listening audience as well. That tends to be bad for business.

3. No, she didn't tell you to "go fuck yourself". She called Hillary a fucking whore. nt

12. Um, no she didn't.
She was doing a routine AT A COMEDY CLUB, not on the air.

I'm so sick of the faux outrage by Hilary Clinton supporters.

A bit of advice for you: Never EVER listen to Chris Rock or George Carlin, or anyone like them. They would offend your sensitivities big time.

2. I stopped listening to her 2 years ago
Her rants tested my patience. She never lets her guests say anything (like C. Matthews) and she often sounds just plain nutty, like she's off her meds.

6. I loved her for awhile
but the rudeness to callers was just too much. I don't know if she got worse or if I just tired of it, but I stopped listening last year.

4. I used to like her, but no more.
She's bright but not educated and not controlling herself properly to be a radio host. Sam Seder, Thom Hartmann and Mike Malloy are a lot better.

And I think calling Hillary and Geraldine Ferraro fucking whores is inexcusable, even if it was NOT on the air. You'd think some hate-spewing Repuke would say that, not an alleged Democrat.

11. Funny, that's how I felt about Ferraro's statements a few days earlier
"You'd think some hate-spewing Repuke would say that, not an alleged Democrat."

Ferraro may or may not be a "fucking whore", but she's got a SERIOUS problem with racism, whether she wants to admit it or not. As for Hillary.....well let's just say that "whore" in the vernacular doesn't necessarily have anything to do with sex or gender. There are a lot of male whores on Capitol Hill too. And I don't mean Capitol Hill in Seattle, nor do I mean Jeffy Guckert.

5. AAR are fucking whores
If you don't lick up to the DLC'ers, you're gone. Pack of assholes...it's not like she said it on the air.

7. Too bad she went down like this
I didn't care much for her show. She would complaint about the same thing over and over again and her voice drove me off after so much whinning. The way she would respond to her listeners wasn't nice either and I am not even talking about freepers but just about everyone. She was very rude.

I used to love her show but ended up hating it. Out of curiosity I switched to AAR the other day and it was a pleasant surprise to listen to Sam Seder instead. That's how I found out she was suspended. His show is awesome and his interviews unlike Randy's are always rich with info and interesting topics.

8. never liked her
Compare how she treats callers who are obviously on her side, to the way Sam Seder skewers the repuke's that call him.

Why does she feel she needs to tell callers that they're not listening to her, they're being stupid, etc.. etc...
