A Chance for Good Judgement: Randi on BO.com
by Pacific John, Fri Apr 04, 2008 at 01:06:06 PM EST

New information uncovered by Tennessee Guerrilla Woman indicates that Randi Rhodes' Green960 Imus/Limbaugh imitation was not just a radio station event, but was promoted on Barack Obama's website.

Click through to No Quarter for a complete screen cap of the Obama website page.



While the event is not tied directly to Obama's staff, Obama supporters publicized the event on the campaign website. A number of Obama supporters from his website were there to inappropriately cheer Rhodes.

Simply, Sen. Obama should renounce Randi Rhodes and chastise Obama supporters in the SF audience who

1. "While the event is not tied directly to Obama's staff..."

Obama should renounce nobody.

[DJ13]

2. Im not fond of Dan Abrahms and his pro-Clinton TV show

Should I work to get him off the air?

And if everyone tried getting people they disagree with off TV and radio, isnt that another step closer to fascism?

16. Unlike you I don't look for smears.

[babylonsister]

19. Unlike you I try not to repeat the same thread in 10 minutes. We 'get' you. nt

[emilyg]

23. And "we" get "you". Such unity.

[AX10]

4. This is not directly tied to Obama,

but is tied to many people who support him.

If it were not for mydd.com, bartcop.com, and dailyhowler.com, all we would be hearing from the blogisphere is nothing but crap being thrown at HRC.

10. She has earned it

[Mooney]

12. "This is not directly tied to Obama,"

Exactly.

[madrchsod]

5. ......

i guess i`ll have to vote for none of the above

[Poll_Blind]

7. When Obama is the nominee you're going to have to eat all that leftover smear you'll have.

  That, and possibly a rapidly-depreciating Clinton '08 T-Shirt will be all you have left.

  Your innuendo is as disgusting as the mindset you must be in to make it.

8. This is MyBo

Anyone can post an event on MyBo in there area. It doesn't mean its a sanctioned event.

[Hepburn]

9. LOL.....

...you just had to clue her! Dang, I was so enjoyng watching her make a fool of herself again!

:hi:

[AllentownJake]

11. This is like the Black Panther

Thing all over again...idiots.

[liberal1973]

14. Ironic Thanks to that website three weeks ago

I donated to my first candidate- Obama.

[liberal1973]

13. You post crap from MyDD?

That douche is one of the Clinton supporters who is really off in the deep end.

[emilyg]

15. I like MYDD

Sue me.

[Drunken Irishman]

17. So what you're saying is we should hold Skinner responsible for the words of posters here?

I mean, anything can be posted on this board, so if you're going to say Obama should be held responsible for something posted on his site, you must believe Skinner is to blame for every post ever done in the history of DU, right?

18. Boy, Joe McCarthy would just LOVE those folks over at my Quarter

A few random comments I found there:

"Now it is time to topple Roland Martin."

"Randi Rhodes is just the first of many more to fall."

"The Obama-Left has been abusive all over the place, from caucus sites to Web sites to “liberal” radio. It’s about time they toned down their rhetoric. I hope they all get this message."

What Randi Rhodes said was despicable and she was stupid for saying it. But it appears that she was just the first victim of a witch hunt that I find equally despicable.

20. Joe McCarthy IS those folks over at NoQuarter n/t

[JTFrog]

21. "This Website is one of hundreds of thousands of user-generated websites..."

*To folks wondering the Obama campaign was somehow affiliated with this event, please know that it was in no way sanctioned, authorized, or endorsed by the Obama for America campaign. This was a fundraiser put together by a San Francisco radio station (you can see their explanation of the event here www.green360.com). This website is one of hundreds of thousands of user-generated websites you can make on My.BarackObama.com.*

*edit link is listed wrong on the obama site it's actually green960.com (as noted further down the page)

22. There is no link between Randi's performance and the Obama campaign

the fact that some supporters of his were in attendance is normal. Odds are that supporters of any candidate will be present in any public event.

[emilyg]

24. Thank you for a reasonable reply.

[AZBlue]

25. (A) Mydd.com is to Clinton, what Fox is to the GOP.

(B) This wasn't an Obama function and Randi is not connected to his campaign in any way.
