Whether you agree with a radio talk show host or not, or a t.v. talk show host for that matter, there seem to be some rules of language most people adhere to. There have been calls for people like Rush to resign and he was boycotted after calling the law student a prostitute for trying to get birth control pills paid for by insurance.
Randi Rhodes was fired after she called Hillary Clinton a bitch, and she wasn't even on air at the time she said this. I can't stand Hillary Clinton because she is a fake, corporate Democrat who took massive Lobby money from Wall Street like Gillibrand, Schumer and even President Obama. I like people such as Bernie Sanders and somewhat Elizabeth Warren but I don't go around calling Ms. Clinton a bitch..for sure not in public.
But here is where I really feel you have to draw a line.
Mike Malloy, progressive radio talk show host, filled in for Laura Marshall's Show last night on 8/11/2014. He first discussed why Hamas isn't using human shields in his opinion. Ok..I can disagree with him on that. Then, he called Congressman Steve King of Iowa, a whore and that Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netyanyahu was his pimp.
This is detestable, and as a progressive myself, very offensive. I am a staunch progressive myself, but this is out of line and worse than many other comments that have been censored and reprimanded by both progressives and conservatives. I think he should be removed from the network and affiliates should pull their sponsorship of him. I have a petition going with Change.org if you want to sign. I can get bashed for whatever anti-Israel statements you're going to make..I still think these comments were detestable.
