As a Clinton supporter and a Randi fan, it's been a rough few weeks since Randi came out in support of Obama. As an Air America fan, Randi's sexist comments were very disappointing. Honestly, I've lost interest in Randi for good now. To be an Obama supporter is fine wih me, but then to claim you want to unite, credit Obama for these sentiments and then use foul and divisive language to prove a point is just sickening and hypocritical. I actually enjoy a good argument and am amenable to opposition but Randi's language was just as harsh, tacky, cruel and unfair as calling Obama the N-word. It's just so disappointing coming from a such a well versed and well read person, and a woman to boot.. Calling those words "stand up" doesn't excuse using them and despite her patriotic intentions she has failed to spread these intentions with the fair heart and intelligence I once believed she had. To me, she has just joined the ranks of Fox news, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, I am very disappointed in Randi Rhodes.
