GLAAD calls for apology from "Rob, Arnie & Dawn Show" for encouraging the beating of transgender or questioning children

Ugh. Just when you think we've rounded a corner, something disgusting like this crops up.

The Rob, Arnie & Dawn Show (a morning show apparently heard in Sacramento and Reno) recently spent almost 30 minutes discussing a transgender child in Ohio ... or, more specifically, how any parent worth his or her salt should handle a transgender or questioning child.

Here are Rob and Arnie's pearls of parenting wisdom:

"Hit him with one of my shoes ... I would probably throw a shoe at him."

"I’m going to look at him and go, ‘You know what? You’re a little idiot! You little dumbass! Look, you are a boy! Boys don’t wear dresses."

"I look forward to when they go out into society and society beats them down. And they end up in therapy."

If you want to listen to the whole clip, you can hear it below (the discussion begins around 4:48)

GLAAD has called for an apology from the show, and gives co-host Dawn Rossi credit for trying to stand up to her colleagues.

UPDATE: Hmm... looks like the show has yanked the original audio file, leaving a tiny clip without the offending discussion in its place. Can't imagine why!
