Loony left talk radio network Air America let their irrational hatred of the President go a bit too far this time. (Hat tip: Right Brain.)

The red-hot rhetoric over Social Security on liberal talkradio network AIR AMERICA has caught the attention of the Secret Service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Government officials are reviewing a skit which aired on the network Monday evening — a skit featuring an apparent gunshot warning to the president!

The announcer: “A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn’t safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here’s your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. [audio of gun being cocked].”

The audio production at the center of the controversy aired during opening minutes of The Randi Rhodes Show.

“What is with all the killing?” Rhodes said, laughing, after the clip aired.

“Even joking about shooting the president is a crime, let alone doing it on national radio… we are taking this very seriously,” a government source explained.
