April 4, 1968

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968

Forty Years ago this evening.
One shot. He was dead. He died trying to help those take a step up for themselves. I find it striking that today we still have no voice, no leader. No one to help lead the cause of non-violent civil disobedience. One shot.

I myself would love to tell you I miss the man. I cannot. I was a mere 7 months old when he was slain. As I grew up I found myself more and more drawn to his legacy: his teaching, the entire civil Rights movement in America... from there it led to a fascinating journey that showed me how tolerant and intolerant we really are -- still -- today as a nation. We are still a very divided nation. We still have a long way to go.

On one hand, in current events, we still are having a conversation about Reverend Wright... And no one is discussing those on the right who espouse the hatred that they themselves say they denounce. Pat Buchanan, just the other day took up the same mantra that the KKK used in the 1950's to fight against integration in the nation, saying that Blacks should be grateful they were brought here to this country. Bill O'Reilly has advocated the bombing of a major American city. We know the lists. We know the outrage.

Many have heard barely a peep about this. Most would not believe it. We have politicians fear-mongering still about the religion of Keith Ellison... Those same people wish to have their religion put upon a pedestal, for all to drink in. And barely a peep from those who believe in equality for all. Equality does not have a color, a race, a religion or a political agenda... And yet, we those who believe these things still allow others to set that agenda, by making equality about all those things, in order to make some people more equal that others. No one is more equal than another.

Is it just the media? No, I do not think so. I think it is all of us. We allow those to espouse intolerance and injustice to continue on with a platform of ignorance and bigotry...sometimes pure hatred, while we allow those who dare to speak out, no matter HOW uncomfortable it may be, to be silenced.

This is not what the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Died for. He lived to give EVERYONE a voice, and he lived to make sure people were never afraid to use that voice. It is time that we stop allowing those who DO speak for righteousness and tolerance and true equality and poverty and education and freedom to EVER be afraid of speaking out. Pay close attention... voices are being silenced.

MLK, was stabbed, threatened, firebombed, arrested, beat... and he still kept walking... We must follow in that tradition of non violent civil disobedience. WE have to do better in this country. That responsibility is ours. It should begin with us. We have a long way to go.


:peace: and
Raine

Oh RAINE!!! You are making Velveeta cry.................



I have a story that relates (a bit) to the above, but it'll have to wait. I'm off to feed the Obama HQ breakfast. Then, take my dog to the vet.

MLK was assassinated after he began speaking out against the Viet Nam war. No coincidence there, I imagine...

Mornin' Raine ,

How's married life treating you? I think that that is so exciting and romantic :D

So how did you get the inside line on Momma's doings last night? Just wondering...

Happy Friday!!!

Ok, I haven't listened to Momma in weeks, and I tune in today to get some dirt on the AAR affair, and it's all Hilary all the time?



I'm disappointed in the tone of the show today.



But don't pay me any mind. An eye-opening week at the ol' TriSec compound.

Does anyone remember Bill Cunningham's rant (at the McCain event) - not on air, rascist, awful.



Not suspended.



Why? - He's part of Right-Wing radio

Comment by TriSec on 04/04/2008 13:58:41
AAR suspending the First Amendment for its broadcasters is the beginning of the end, you know.



Of course, some of us think canceling 'Unfiltered' was the beginning of the end...

Ya know, I haven't peeked at that "other website" in a very long time. But given that they are allegedly the "official fan site of Air America Radio", I figured they would be abuzz over Randi's suspension.



Eight posts.



And it was mentioned only once in passing.

This is important and the more I listen to the show the more clear it is becoming to me that this WAS POLITICALLY MOTIVATED.





First ammendement be damned when you step out of carrying the line....

Raine - ygm (Bounce .mp3) I did not put it up as an audicon, as the whole song is over 3 minutes. I can put the whole thing up if you want - I also can pare it down, if you like.

I like listening to it once a week... WITH RANDI.





And as much as she annoys me, pisses me and can be grating as all hell, she is one of the GOOD guys out there. She is one of our very very few progressive voices, and I resent to ALLL HELL that they shut another one up!



Really. I am very Angry. Liz winstead, Mike Malloy, Marc MAron and Now Randi. How can we get true prog radio off the ground if we keep doing this to our own?



I am really pretty upset about this.

Ah, I wasn't looking at the message board.



I did see the second or third post raised an interesting point. Keith had a Special Comment about the Senator from New York, and he wasn't suspended.



Of course, he wasn't swearing on the air, either.

Time for me to raise the Dialogue.



I think Hillary is a dried up whore with cankles who looks bad in pant suits. :sarcasm:





OK, am I gonna get fired?



:rage:





For the record Momma should not feel like she has to defend hillary for anything... Howard Wolfson and MArk penn are getting paid millions of dollars to do that.

What I want to know is WHY whenever a media person doesn't speek well of EITHER candidate, the other side calls for their removal, or claims that THEY re part of the problem?

I really wish Randi would call inot one of the shows. Mike Malloy mentioned that she might be calling last nite, but it doesn't seem to have heppened. I want to hear from Randi.



I do not know what the status is of her contract with AAR, but somehow, I am fearful that they will keep her off the air as long as they can without actually firing her.

With her coming out swing against Hills I'm kinda thinking the same thing. I have to wonder though if she had not done that would this whole thing be such a big deal now? And is this being pushed by someone in Hills campagin?



Comment by Raine on 04/04/2008 14:35:21
From HuffPo:



It's not detectable at this point if Air America honchos believe Rhodes was somehow supposed to have known what she said is punishable. Also unknown is the duration of her suspension. According to New York Daily News reporter David Hinckley, the network is remaining silent for now "to gauge public reaction." How principled.

Here is a meme I have been hearing around the interenets... KO and Randi are part of the problem.



I am thinking The bosnia story is part of the problem. The 7 years of unreleased tax returns are part of the problem, Bill Clinton part of the problem... saying that pledged delagates aren't such is part of the problem, calling BIll richardson judas is part of the problem, The KITCHEN sink is part of the problem, Ridiculing Obama supporters because they may LIKE his message of change and hope is part of the problem, NAFTA is part of the problem.....





THESE ARE BIG issues. KO and Randi Rhoades are not.

Exactly. Hillary wouldn't be drawing all of this fire if she wasn't acting like a Republican towards Obama. People say we (Democrats) shouldn't be shooting ourselves in the foot, but the first step towards that would be taking the gun away from Hillary.

Hmm....



So, we aren't, as Americans, allowed to say "F*ckin' Whore?"

Again, lack of good judgement? Sure.

Klassy with a K? Perhaps.

But, did she yell "Fire!" in a crowded building? Nope. She didn't.

I didn't think Imus should have been fired and nor should Randi.

I think they have been avoiding a draft knowing it would energize the opposition. Expect Blackwater to have more control of the situation.

Wow. No call.



I would like to say I am surprised... But I am not.



Bill CLinton went on Rush (yes, there was a sub that day) and we cannot even hear hillary calling into a progressive radio show.



To me that is just dissappointing. At the VERY least she could call Lionel... But don't tell a national talk show host that you will call and then don't. :bad:

AAR suspending the First Amendment for its broadcasters is the beginning of the end, you know.



Of course, some of us think canceling 'Unfiltered' was the beginning of the end...











:mondo strides to front of class room wearing tweed sport coat with leather patches on the sleeves & jeans cause he is a "cool" teacher who is "down with today's youth":



Tri, Tri, Tri! Your 1st Amendment comment is so totally off base. as we all know the free speech clause covers the Social Contract between government and the people. Since AAR is not the government, they can, if they wish, limit what Randi Rhodes says in the context of her being an employee of the corporation.



As I am somewhat well trained student in the history and theory of western political systems and theory, when people make statements about the Bill of Rights being abrogated in social discourse that is in a non governmental situation, it really chaps my backside.

Comment by jd_in_ny on 04/04/2008 16:14:31
I agree mondo - it's a censorship issue, but not a FA issue. I also think it was a mistake -- an open-ended suspension after no warning (that we know of) is DEFINITELY chilling and not something I want to expect from a "progressive" organization.

As for Bush and Cheney, they do believe that nothing can stop them.



http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g222/pma1963/Cheney_and_Bush_Borg.jpg






However, I have a counter to them, and a counter to Patrick Buchanan, Michael "the Savage" Weiner, and other hatemongers. It is called DEMOCRACY!!!







We must not give into despair, and realize that we can make a difference if we find the courage in ourselves as individuals and as members of a larger society to do so. This is what Dr. King - may his memory be for a blessing - reminded us through his words and deeds. So, let us remember and honor a man who urged us to judge others by the content of their character, the quality of their ideas, and their actions by building an America and a world that honors his sacrifices and those of others who have called for peace, justice and equality.

:speculatates: Could the suspension also be a warning shot across the bow of Randi's wildly rumored drinking problem? Some form of tough love by the employer?

Comment by jd_in_ny on 04/04/2008 16:23:32
I think it's too severe to be considered a "warning shot", and it definitely isn't the employer's place to use "tough love". That said, we don't know what has gone on behind the scenes -- maybe she has received legitimate warnings before and the corporation is protecting its interests. From where I stand, it feels like an overreaction, and it feels viewpoint-specific.

Seems like she's always been pretty virulent. It's only recently that she gave up on apologizing for all of Hillary's republican campaign tactics and finally started criticizing her for them.



FWIW - before this campaign got ugly, I would have been happy to vote for Hillary in the general election. If she keeps this up (and somehow wins the primary), I will be walking into the voting booth with a clothespin on my nose.



Just my own personal feelings there - yours may vary...

Could someone give me an approximate time of the call...? I missed a good deal of the show this AM and haven't listened to the StephCast yet.


It's at the end of the second hour. The very last thing before the top of the hour break just listen for "Velveeta in Asheville".

Since then I think we have lost a few more of the first 10.

Arianna Talking on Larry about MLK's Poor people's campaign... I am glad to hear that mentioned.

Rachel was AWESOME on the TV machine. If she was nervous, she worked through it well.



I am torn between the radio and TV machine show. I love her on the radio, but with the way things are going at AAR, it would probably be best to take a TV job when offered. Ideally, I would like them to dump overly giddy Dan Abrams and put her in that slot. Then maybe she could still do the radio show, but she would probably drop dead from exhaustion, so...



Anyhoo, I think she'll be moving on to bigger and better things in the next year or so.
