But I completely disagree that Rob and Arnie care for the well-being of all children and that is based on what I heard on their show. When what they say 'in fun' hurts vulnerable people who are at risk - and our youths are the most vulnerable - then they have gone too far. Disclaimers do not make that okay.<br /><br />I believe that this is a basic safety issue. Hate speech - which is what I heard - creates an environment where discrimination is acceptable and where people are seen as acceptable targets. Dawn expressed that they had gone too far during the show, and it appears that they have recognized that as well based on the message on their website talking about it and asking people to listen on Thursday.Gabi Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834411375291647871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205147049740549737.post-59767978676745624472009-06-10T02:44:59.162-07:002009-06-10T02:44:59.162-07:00If you really think that Rob or Arnie were actuall...If you really think that Rob or Arnie were actually advocating violence against children then you know nothing about them, the show and are just plain ignorant on the whole topic. A 17 second clip will not tell you who these people are or what they are doing.<br /><br />They try to express all the viewpoints on every topic they discuss. One who does not listen to the show regularly will miss any of the spoken disclaimers about this.<br /><br />They all care for the well-being of children and have raised large sums of money to benefit the U.C. Davis Children's Hospital. You don't hear GLAAD talking about that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205147049740549737.post-35683082176459028822009-06-08T21:18:24.808-07:002009-06-08T21:18:24.808-07:00What is happening to the rights of free speech and...What is happening to the rights of free speech and having an opinion. Rob and Arnie had an opinion; an opinion that many people in this world share. Just look at the turnout from California’s own Prop 8. The Gay and Lesbian movement was turned down by the voting public. There is a HUGE population that has deemed something wrong with that lifestyle. It is a lifestyle that society has not deemed as normal yet. <br /><br />The transgender community has a larger battle than the Gay and Lesbian community. Society has also deemed that it is not normal yet. There are too many unanswered questions. I cannot imagine sending my child to school swimming lessons and having a transgender child in a female bathing suit with a bulge between the legs. I also cannot imagine how this little boy can opt out of such an important cultural and social activity without being thought of as “strange and unusual”. Society is not ready, and I am not ready. <br /><br />The fact that Rob and Arnie are being stripped from their FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS by a group of people who whine every time things don’t go their way appalls me. If you don’t like what they have to say, DON’T LISTEN. If enough people stop listening, they will fade away. If they survive, oh well, you won’t be listening any way. <br /><br />I am sure there are many people out there that think I am an evil hateful person. That is an opinion that you are free to have. Please do not take away that right from other people. If you strip the right to an opinion, you are stripping individuality away from our society. People need to be taught how to be disappointed, angry, hurt and frustrated. People are not entitled to be compensated just because they did not get their own way. I do not want to think like everyone else. <br /><br />And one final note on my little rant. Arnie’s comment about throwing a shoe at a child is not condoning violence. In America we call it a figure of speech. Society has deemed similar comments as being acceptable. How many time have we heard the words “I’ll kick your ass” thrown around? More than I can count. And I don’t want to have that and similar lines censored from my favorite TV shows. <br /><br />In closing, I despise looking at the future of my children in a world where poo is no longer allowed to be funny because someone gets all, to quote Rob Williams, “butt hurt” and offended. I despise a world where people are no longer allowed to have an opinion. Quite frankly, as long as there are differences in people, people will find a way to poke fun at each other.<br /><br />SDM - Reno, NV<br />13 Year listener of Rob Arnie and DawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205147049740549737.post-20194398784820619562009-06-08T08:17:26.254-07:002009-06-08T08:17:26.254-07:00Interesting Matt, I went to see what the website y...Interesting Matt, I went to see what the website you posted a link to has on it just now and it bounced me to this page <br />http://www.000webhost.com/admin-review<br /><br />Website Under Review<br /><br />You see this page, because the system administrator of 000webhost.com is currently checking this website for malicious content.

This isn't the first...They really are souless. This isn't the first time. They (Rob and Arnie) often make fun of special needs children calling them "windowlickers" and the like. They also enjoy spreading their view that Autism is fake and due to bad parenting. I am SO sorry they have hit the transgender community so hard. Those comments could have been the last straw for a child. They may have just pulled the trigger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205147049740549737.post-21069314760038477632009-06-05T07:21:00.900-07:002009-06-05T07:21:00.900-07:00This literally disgusts me.

They should have been taken off the air.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
