My Big Fat Rant
BOYCOTT THE
ROB, ARNIE & DAWN SHOW
First off I'm all for free speech. I think you should be able to say what ever you want, where ever you want. In that same vein you should be able to protest what ever you want, where ever you want, but a line was crossed on the Rob, Arnie & Dawn Show. Rob and Arnie, on May 28th, broadcasting on live radio, in no uncertain terms, incited listener to use violence, humiliation and intimidation against children. Children of all ages. Why? Because like the Nazi's before them they admitted that they believed no tolerance should be extended to those different then them. Rob and Arnie decided to throw their hats in with the likes of Hitler, Himmler and Goebbels. It sounded as if Rob and Arnie would gladly cheer on the deaths of millions Jews, Gypsies, Gays and the Mentally Challenged that was caused by the intolerance of just one country. Many of those millions being Children. Probably to Rob and Arnie's delight Nazi's would sweep hospitals murdering mentally and physically handicapped children, including babies. Why? Because they were different. Children can not fend for themselves in this world or protect themselves against the insanity that many adults would bring upon them. So we must. When we accept abuse against any child for any reason then we are all the road to hell, one short step from Nazi Germany. Please Boycott the Rob, Arnie & Dawn show and their affiliate radio stations. The one and sadly only bright spot from this show was Dawn who horrified and apologetic to those having to listen to Rob and Arnie's hate mongering filth. Honor you're right to free speech and your power to silence assholes like Rob and Arnie. Please click the link below to sign a petition boycotting these animals.

(Personal note. I'm actually rather busy lately with work, and haven't blogged in awhile, but when I heard about this it pissed me off so bad I had to say something. I apologize that the photo was done rather quickly, but I could not stand to look at these bastard's faces for too long)
July 4th, 2009 - Eh. I'm over it. I still think Rob and Arnie are Nazi Hate Mongers who are only apologizing to cover their asses, but here's their apology none the less:
TO OUR LOYAL ROB, ARNIE AND DAWN FOLLOWERS,
WE HAVE FAILED YOU. AS A SHOW, AS PEOPLE, AS BROADCASTERS, WE HAVE SIMPLY FAILED ON ALMOST EVERY LEVEL.
WE PRESENTED OUR OPINIONS ON A VERY SENSITIVE SUBJECT IN A HATEFUL, CHILDISH AND CRUDE FASHION; AND THEN, GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO RETRACT THOSE REMARKS, WE DEFENDED THEM.
SINCE THEN, YOU, OUR LOYAL LISTENERS, HAVE MADE IT CLEAR TO US THAT WE WENT TOO FAR. THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN OVERWHELMING. NONE OF YOU SAID THAT WE COULDN'T HAVE OPINIONS, YET SO MANY OF YOU SAID THAT THE WAY WE GAVE THEM CROSSED THE LINE. FURTHER, YOU SAID THAT OUR ATTEMPT TO MASK OUR COMMENTS AS "JOKES THAT WOULD BE UNDERSTOOD BY OUR AUDIENCE," WAS UNACCEPTABLE. I WOULD SAY NOW THAT IT WAS WORSE THAN THAT, IT WAS COWARDLY. YOU HAVE MADE THAT CLEAR...
