Rob, Arnie, and Dawn- Don’t Waste Our Time or Your’s
A Call to Stop Listening to the Rob, Arnie, and Dawn Show
On May 28th The Rob, Arnie, and Dawn radio show in Sacramento, California decided it would be ok to belittle transgender children by calling them “idiots”, “freaks”, & “freaks of nature” and said that the kids needed to be put in their place with verbal abuse and even physical abuse if that was what it took. Arnie said that if he had a child that wore high heels, that he would discipline him by beating him with his own shoe. He stated – “I’m going to go, ‘You know what? You’re a little idiot! You little dumbass!”.
After the tirades, multiple companies decided it would be best to pull advertising from the radio show. GOOD FOR THEM!
Now the show on their website has stated that they won’t be on the air again until Thursday and have made indications that they plan to apologize on the air on Thursday. Ratings whores!
We know how you truly feel now. You have proven that not only do you condone abuse of helpless children but that you have some major issues with transgender individuals. Save your apologies, we don’t want them. I myself am not transgender, but I am a part of the LBGT community and when you insult one of us, you insult us all. It’s because of people in the media like you that we still don’t have the same rights as other people and we are still treated very differently. People look up to you and think that this behavior is ok and quite simply, IT ISN’T! You and people like you are a part of our major struggle. I hope and pray that you are permanently taken off the air and that the radio station is shut down for lack of advertisers.
You are allowed to have your opinions, but it doesn’t mean that you will automatically get our money to support the splurging of your discriminatory opinions on a radio station that is listened to by people that look up to you.
The wrong person gets a hold of you saying what you have said and they may decide to take it a little too far. Your words could cause more damage than you realize. How dare you call for abuse of innocent children and transgender people in a national forum?!? You should be ashamed of yourselves! No apology, in my opinion, makes up for the damage you may have caused.

I am planning to take these comments that were just posted on this site or this blog and submit to an attorney because with YOUR comments you just displayed and i find it very offensive just like what you felt about Rob and Arnie’s comments. How dare you force your LIFESTYLE on me and america. Being gay is not like an ethnicity were you need rights. You were not born gay like i was born black. You made the choice to live your life as liking the opposite sex. I did not have the choice to born black so stop pushing and pointing this nation to accept a LIFESTYLE. I think maybe you should sit back and take a look at what his radio station has done for kids before you judge and i would not say pray because i know that the GOD i sever, the GOD that send his son Jesus to die on the cross does not approve of homosexual behavior and by you saying in this so-called blog that you will pray for that show is mocking GOD. So as a BLACK man and christian, who are two group of perople that you don like, will pray for you.

I don’t see where you think he is forcing anything on anybody. You must have read a different blog. Because if that was my child in the situation at the radio talk show was referring to. NO AMOUNT OF I AM SORRY would ever make up for the things that they have said. I believe everyone has a right to live the way they choose. Because in the end the GOD that you keep referring to will be the judge. YOU ARE NOT TO JUDGE LEST YOU BE JUDGED YOURSELF.

Are you serious? Rob and Arnie are not the problem with this country…its idiots like you. Not once did they condone abusing children and you twisting up their words is not going to change that fact. You obviously have not been here on planet earth anytime soon… because if you were you would know that there are lots of people that feel the same way as Arnie does (or stated), and they proudly voice their opinion everyday. If you don’t like his opinion, don’t listen!!!! I think the show represents different views that we are presented with throughout our life. If you get so butt-hurt from comments like the ones that Arnie made, how do you get through your everyday life. Quit being a pussy and get a life!!!
