As if liberal radio upstart Air America didn't already have enough problems paying their bills (see here and here), they're now finally starting to lose advertisers as well. I admit, they have managed to stay on the air longer than I would have guessed. But judging from their vile and downright treasonous content, I don't expect them to last much longer. Check out this excerpt from a piece in today's NY daily news.

The queen of venom, Randi Rhodes, followed Franken in the host slot. Her imitation of a cracker military type telling a soldier to "insert this fluorescent light bulb into that man's buttocks" was revolting. She compared U.S. prisons in Iraq to the "Nazi gulag" and said, "The day I say thank you to Rumsfeld is the same day I'll say thank you to the 12 people who raped me."

Rock bottom came when she compared Bush and his family to the Corleones in the "Godfather" saga. "Like Fredo, somebody ought to take him out fishing and phuw," she said, imitating the sound of gunfire.

During a day of torture by radio, I heard ads for Hewlett-Packard, Greyhound and, especially, General Motors. I asked GM why it appeared in such shows.

Ryndee Carney, GM's manager of marketing communications, said the ads were wrongly picked up from an earlier deal with WLIB. She said the station was ordered to "cease and desist" yesterday, and added: "GM will not advertise on any Air America affiliates."

Wow - the day she thanks Rummy will be the day she thanks "the 12 men who raped her?" I wonder if she feels the same way about Douglas MacArthur, Abe Lincoln, or even George Washington? And what is this about saying that the president should be killed? I don't care what side of the political divide you fall on, that is always inappropriate, and, in my opinion, unpatriotic and downright treasonous. Libs are always complaining that people are unfairly labelling them as "unpatriotic" because they choose not to support the war in Iraq. No, I respond - you're being labelled as unpatriotic because of statements like these.

I don't listen to Air America - the so called "nationwide" network doesn't even broadcast in Washington, DC. Go figure. But with them making comments like those excerpted above, I think that it's time to act. If anyone knows of companies that advertise on Air America, let me know. Either send an email or post in the comments section. I'll maintain a list, and hopefully a boycott will help us get this gross spectacle off the air sooner rather than later.
