Following nearly a week's worth of silence and with over a dozen advertisers lost, a Sacramento-based radio program returned to the airwaves with an apology in response to some off-color comments that drew national attention and criticism. Rob Williams and Arnie States, two-thirds of KRXQ's "Rob, Arnie & Dawn Show," apologized Thursday morning for comments they made two weeks ago in which they referred to members of the transgender community as "freaks," "fruits" and as experiencing "mental d...

He also said he'd like to see the teen beaten down by the world and called the kid idiot and FREAK. Get used to this show being less confrontational, we LGBTS have their advertisers on SPEED DIAL. mark 2009-06-14T18:46:16Z Dale Kooyman comment-9437 2009-06-13T22:55:51Z 2009-06-13T22:55:51Z Abuse? Depends on the shoe, where the shoe lands and how hard the shoe is thrown, Leeman. Throwing a shoe that hits a child in the eyes or anywhere on the head can be very damaging. Other parts of the body may cause less physical damage but In any case it is an infantile act and one that no loving parent would commit.

How in the world does that constitute child abuse? Now whipping with a belt or "taking them to the woodshed" is a whole other issue. And what the heck..as a heterosexual male, if I don't agree with homosexual/heterosexual behavior, that makes me a racist,misogynist,homophobic person?? Since when does following ones moral compass make you a horrible person? On another note...I tried to listen to the RAD show on Thursday and found it incredibly boring and a complete waste of time. leeman 2009-06-13T22:31:48Z thsas comment-9386 2009-06-12T16:49:15Z 2009-06-12T16:49:15Z Whatever gets you through the night Mark. thsas 2009-06-12T16:49:15Z mark209 comment-9377 2009-06-12T10:37:07Z 2009-06-12T10:37:07Z There are a lot of lessons to be learned here I hope we don't move on to fast mark209 2009-06-12T10:37:07Z mark comment-9362 2009-06-12T05:16:38Z 2009-06-12T05:16:38Z Rob opened his show saying he wasn't talking to those who want him and Arnie fired (ME), he also defined those who want them fired are out of the mainstream. NO you hateful racist, misogynist, homobigotted, transphobic PIGS are out of the MAINSTREAM. I will continue to boycott any sponsor of the RAD show, and demand the station makes an earnest apologiy and a statement this spewing hate and abuse at children NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. mark 2009-06-12T05:16:38Z thsas comment-9351 2009-06-12T02:39:27Z 2009-06-12T02:39:27Z Yes, lets get after Letterman joking about rape of a 14 year old girl.
