Folks keep leaving.
Now, Bank of America, Verizon, and Carl's Jr. have all pulled their advertisements from KRXQ.
They should be fired!
If you don't know the story, here it is
Rob Williams and Arnie States, two of the hosts of Rob, Arnie & Dawn in the Morning, were discussing the parents of a boy in Omaha who wants to transition from male to female. Rob called the boy "a weird person who is demanding attention." He suggested that his mother tell the boy that wearing a dress is "not what we're doing in this culture." He also called transgender people "freaks," asserting that therapy could steer them away from being transgender, since "they were [probably] molested" as children.States also said that if his son put on a pair of high heels, he would probably hit him with one of his shoes.
"You got a boy saying, 'I wanna wear dresses,'" States said, "I'm going to look at him and go, 'You know what? You're a little idiot! You little dumb ass! Look, you are a boy! Boys don't wear dresses.'"

Thankfully, the advertisers have some sense at least.
These pieces of shit will be off the air soon.
I'm always fascinated as to how these call to action thingys work.
On my blog, I've been asking how, for example, what these three said is any more or less relevant than Andrew Wilkow has said on his show.
(about transgender and gay babies being aborted)
I've been waiting for someone at GLAAD to explain why, for example, when Wilkow suggests gay and transgender babies should be aborted is okay while what Rob, Arnie & Dawn is not.
I guess my e-mail and blog comment is broken again.
I've tried leaving a comment or inquiry on their blog, but interestingly, they appear to be picking and choosing who can comment on it.
Wow, the backlash to their hateful statements is coming hard and heavy. If only we could do the same thing to the haters of marriage equality.
I note that NOM could only muster about a half dozen people at today's protest in Providence. Meanwhile we got 400 people in support of equality.
GOOD!!! You reap what you sow.
It is sad thing where offensive is thought to be entertaining. It is not. But not just offensive, which can be subjective. Rob Arnie and Dawn (mostly Rob and Arnie) have proven themselves ignorant, vitriolic, biased, sexist, childish, patronistic, chauvenistic, and boorish, on almost every level, just to name a few things wrong with their “show”. Do what I do, don’t listen.
