Air America's Randi Rhodes said suspended for calling Clinton, Ferraro 'whores'

Air America's Randi Rhodes said suspended for calling Clinton, Ferraro 'whores' RAW STORYPublished: Thursday April 3, 2008 reddit_title='Air America's Randi Rhodes said suspended for calling Clinton, Ferraro 'whores'' Air America has allegedly suspended talk radio host Randi Rhodes after she made scathing statements off-air about Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and former Democratic vice presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro. "What a whore Geraldine Ferraro is! She's such a fucking whore!" Rhodes remarked. "Hillary is a big fucking whore, too" to a mixed audience reaction. "You know why she's a big fucking whore? Because her deal is always, 'Read the fine print, asshole!'" A video of Rhodes' remarks appears below. "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," according to a statement by Air America released to the Huffington Post. "Air America encourages strong opinions about public affairs but does not condone such abusive, ad hominem language by our Hosts," company chair Charlie Kireker said in a statement. MCL comment: I'm noticing a trend here, if you're a pro Hillary Clinton blogger and talk radio host Obama supporters have no problems telling those folks their pulling support because you don't support Barack Obama, now if you're a pro Obama website or talk host saying something nasty about Hillary you're evaluated and they're willingly to protect your free speech.
