Randi Rhodes wasn’t mugged, Air America credibility plunges to NYTimes stock-level depths

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 16, 2007 01:38 PM

Update 10:45pm Eastern. I’m thinking of selling these. Whaddya think:

Update 8:30pm Eastern. “It was the brownshirts!”

Lord, what fools these moonbats be.

The real story:

Air America radio host Randi Rhodes is temporarily off the air, but claims she was brutally attacked near her Manhattan apartment are bogus, her lawyer and a police source said today.

Fellow host Jon Elliott claimed on the liberal radio network that Rhodes had been mugged while walking her dog, Simon, on Sunday night. Elliot, who said Rhodes lost several teeth in the attack, waxed about a possible conspiracy.

“Is this an attempt by the right-wing, hate machine to silence one of our own?” he asked on the air, according to Talking Radio, a blog. “Are we threatening them? Are they afraid that we’re winning? Are they trying to silence intimidate us?”

A police source said Rhodes never filed a report and never claimed to be the victim of a mugging. Cops from Manhattan’s 17th Precinct called her attorney, who told them Rhodes was not a victim of a crime, the source said.

Rhodes’ lawyer told the Daily News she was injured in a fall while walking her dog. He said she’s not sure what happened, and only knows that she fell down and is in a lot of pain. The lawyer said Rhodes expects to be back on the air Thursday. He stressed there is no indication she was targeted or that she was the victim of a “hate crime.”

The nutroots are sorely disappointed. But the truth isn’t likely to stop them from believing that it’s the Reich-wing’s fault.

Rush Limbaugh tripped her! Ann Coulter silenced her! Karl Rove poisoned her dog!

Newsday: Talk show host apologizes for faulty report of NYC mugging…

Air America released a statement saying that “the reports of a presumed hate crime are unfounded.” Elliott followed that up with a retraction.

“I shouldn’t have speculated based on hearsay that Randi Rhodes had been mugged and that it may have been an attack from a right wing hate machine. I apologize for jumping to conclusions based on an emotional reaction,” he said in a written statement.

It was my fault!

Ed Morrissey is amused: “Another Liberal Fantasy Hits Hard Reality.”

Radio Equalizer Brian Maloney takes a step back and traces the anatomy of the non-mugging on the Internet.

    I wonder what type of introspection is going on with Ms. Rhodes right now. Could she be starting to realize how insane her listeners are, or maybe she’s decided to believe the military industrial complex has created some sort of ray gun that trips people from outer space.

    it sounds like par for the course, and certainly faking an attack upon yourself is not good for the rep, however Michelle, I have to take issue with something here. You assert that now their rep is at the levels of NY Times stock, well frankly their rep was there years ago, and this only reinforces it.

    You guys are giving them far too much credit. For the AA guy to even come up with that conspiricy means he has a long arm span, for that was an immense reach. Then, to go and read those comments, to see just how far these idiots went with this conspiricy and just how easily it was believed…wow. Just how many COnservatives do you guys know that go around mugging people anyway? I’d venture to say not many, otherwise Hillary wouldn’t be trying to get felons and people in prison the right to vote.

    However, now that the truth came out, there is not a single Lib to be found on the message board. Not a single one. Seems they are completely terrified of the truth and their innate ability to never admit fault or admit they are wrong has sent them scurrying like cockroaches now that the light has come on.

    However, once againe, they parade forth with their calls and incitements to violence towards any Conservative. They sit there, decrying this alledged violent act, then spend their time being guilty of everything they are complaining about.

    Let’s just imagine for a moment what would happen if Michelle, Rush, Ann or Sean had come on the air, claimed that a Conservative radio host had been attacked by some wild, crazed Liberal in an effort to silence them. What do you think would happen to them? How many protests, cals for their termination and riots in Muslim lands would go on?

    Now, what do you think will happen to this idiot who made this claim of violence against some nobody radio host on a failed Liberal network? That’s right, absolutely nothing. There will be no statements on the floor of the Senate, no letters to the parent company calling for his ouster, no one throwing him under the bus…instead they will sit there and blame the Right for making them say what they said.

    Despicalble, loathsome creatures, every damn last one of them.

    Again, too much credit. They will never admit fault, never admit they were wrong and will do one of two things depending on the Nutroot:

    1) Sweep it under the rug, act as if it never happened, remove all postings concerning this incident and deny all knowledge

    2) Claim that there was a muging and that the Neo-Con Death Squads have obviously been blackmailing and threatening her to keep silent and hide the truth “or else the little dog gets it”. Nothing like this could ever happen and she floats above the ground, thus impossible for her to have “tripped”. Once Jan 2009 comes around and they have assumed all power, then they will get to the truth following the detainment and torture of all Neo-Cons and their families.

    Ever wonder why they spend so much time accusing Bush of trying to take over all power and declare himself Emperor while hey spend the same time trying to gain all the power?

    Al Gore personifies a cause to millions of people who fiercely believe he was rightfully elected in 2000, and who will never get over the events that stopped the counting of the votes in Florida and put the election in the hands of a partisan Supreme Court. To this day people continue to address him as President Gore. As Martin Peretz wrote in a June 2006 op-ed in The New Republic, “there is an undercurrent of guilt around the country about the fact that the presidency was taken from him by a vote of 5 to 4.”

    Without a Gore candidacy, the country will be forever divided by a profound sense of justice denied. He may not have wished to become a cause, but millions of Americans cannot forget, and many more wonder each day, “What could have been?”

    It’s so clear a blind man could see it. So clear if a bear defecated in the woods and no one was around, ah, um, the Pope would still be Catholic! Or something like that.

    Ms. Rhodes plight was not the result on crazed right wing perpetrators who roam the night. Think about it. THINK!

    It was the Clintons!!!! Hillary does not want Al in the race. After a lengthy discussion with Tonya Harding, the plot was hatched. My source tells me that it was actually Bill, cleverly disguised as a shrubbery, that did the deed.

    Who has the most to gain by keeping Gore out of the race?

    You know this reminds me of that movie Liar, Liar with Jim Carrey. The guy walks in the bathroom and says, “Hey what are you doing!?” Carrey replies,”What does it look like! I’m kickin’ my a$$!”

    You are so right jrlingreenbay.

    One thing I found fascinating was the level of profanity used by the visitors to the liberal sites (I don’t make it a habit to lurk on their sites, always feel like a need a shower afterward). Being a retired Air Force Senior NCO I do freely admit to knowing and using a few obscenities in my time on planet earth, but all I can say is WOW!!! I am so glad most conservative sites do not endorse this type of behavior. It just shows the irrational level of emotion overriding the ability for critical thinking armed with facts.

    I was immediately suspicious the instant I heard Randi was “attacked”. It’s just the kind of thing the left does to themselves to launch another campaign of vitriolic diatribe against the right.

    The left has a history of doing the very things they blame the right for. Projection at its worst.

    One of my talents is to see things differently than anyone else, so here’s my thought on the whole “tinfoil hat” theory:

    If the tinfoil is supposed to keep out frequencies that affect brainwaves, wouldn’t it keep the brainwaves IN?

    In order to prevent the brain from cooking itself, the Department of Public Health should issue a warning that tinfoil hats should only be worn by those who cannot or do not think.

    Verrrrrry scary.

    Worth repeating what has been stated before by others, and by me.

    The current state of irreconcilable polarization that exists in our country seems to me to be rivalled only by that which existed prior to the Civil War.

    Very scary that language thought-expression-challenged clowns like those posters on Kos can vote.
    Very scary, and dangerous for our country.
    This is gonna be some election next year.
    Like the 1860 election, perhaps?

    Okay - quick informal poll.

    How many of you conservatives here could identify Randi Rhodes from a photograph or in person?

    I couldn’t.

    My Karma ran over her dogma.

    :lol:

    THAT is pretty VERY funny.

    Seriously - how can ANYONE take these people seriously? They lie, they cheat, they steal…yet they never get called on the carpet for being raging hypocrites.

    But as this editorial cartoon points out, it’s really easy to avoid the “hypocrite” label when you have no morals, no values, and no standards.

    In all seriousness, if she was mugged, the perp should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. No Grace Kelly myself, I understand being klutzy (I once sprained my ankle walking down the hallway at work…that’s it, just walking), and it sucks to fall in a public place and get hurt.

    But for them to jump from mugging, to her simply falling and equate it to a “vast right wing conspiracy” is both insulting and damaging to their credibility (even if they hold little with me anyway).

The lawyer said Rhodes expects to be back on the air Thursday. He stressed there is no indication she was targeted or that she was the victim of a “hate crime.”

    Hate crime. So now LIBERALS are a protected class.

    Do we need any further proof to do away with hate crime laws?
