The right-wing blogs are worked up about a bit on Air America that included what Drudge calls "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.


Kind of a dumb thing to put on the air. But the question is: What should happen to Randi Rhodes as a result?

How about what happened to this guy during the Clinton years?

Ray Appleton, a host on KMJ in California's San Joaquin Valley, ... promoted a bumper sticker reading, "Lee Harvey Oswald: Where are you now that we really need you?" (L.A. Times, 4/28/95)

And what happened to him? Apparently nothing -- he's not in jail and he's still on KMJ.

(And I do believe G. Gordon "Go for a Head Shot" Liddy is still walking around free after urging the murder of ATF agents, as is radio commentator turned senator Jesse "Mr. Clinton Better Watch Out If He Comes Down Here" Helms.)
