(subtitled: “I’m not making this shit up.”)
. . . in a violent attack Sunday evening, losing several teeth when viciously attacked in a suspicious mugging.
What was odd about Randi Rhodes mugged is that she was wearing a jogging suit, had no jewelry or watch, and carried no purse. So, why was Randi Rhodes attacked?
Was it a random hate crime, a mugging gone awry, or a brutal beating ordered by someone nursing a grudge against a popular liberal talk show host?
According to Air America Radio late night host Jon Elliott, Rhodes was beaten up pretty badly, losing several teeth and will probably be off the air for at least the rest of the week. At of late Monday night we have not able to locate any press accounts of the attack and nothing has been posted on the AAR website.
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?”
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.”
It is a suspicious act that smells of typical right wing reprisal. When conducting a war of wits with an unarmed enemy they will revert to that which is their only weapon. BRUTE FORCE. Perhaps Randi will get a larger dog that is capable of protecting her. My most sincere prayers and best wishes go out to Randi who continues to show great bravery in the face of pure evil. Like the bullet holes in Thom Hartmans car, this is evidence that the right wing noise machine is seeking to silence the voices of truth that are spreading across Americas air waves. Suppression and intimidation are no strangers to those who fight for liberty and truth. Be the battles fought in the court rooms such as Randis victory over CACI or broadcasting the truth about the current criminal activities of the present illegal administration. We must continue with renewed enthusiasm to expose and bring to justice the malicious and anti American forces that have stolen our nation and our democracy. Get well soon Randi we have a special purple heart for you brave sister. Love you always, Peter L
I just have one question. Even if she was mugged, when did liberals go on the hate crime list of protected people?
mpinkeyes, don’t be giving them ideas!!
how could this woman have conservative enemies? how many conservatives listen to liberal talk radio? maybe 5? hell, how many liberals listen to liberal talk radio? about 8? most of them are listening to Rush, Ingraham, Hannity, etc. so they can hear something to get mad at. this is the first I’ve heard of the woman even though I’ll bet she’s on my satellite radio. I just don’t give a rats ass what the tin hats are thinking (I use that term loosely)
Well now the victim mentality has crept into the liberal camp? hell when did it ever leave?…
This is nothing more than a publicity stunt, a ploy to draw attention to a tree hugging, butt pirate supporting radio station…
I am surprised they haven’t blamed Carl Rove or Ann Coulter for the attack.
You guys are SO wrong, all of you, and the MSM is wrong too…
I have it on good authority that Rhodes had a fight with fellow libber Janeane Garofalo over who was gonna be on top and Garofalo smacked the shit out of Rhodes and told her, “Look here you miserable little slut, I’m the Alpha BITCH in this relationship and you’re gonna do exactly what Momma TELLS you to do, ya got that you little slut??”
Rhodes answered, “Yes Momma, but what do I tell the makeup people in the morning??”
Garofalo, “Do what you always do you miserable little piece of a sex toy, LIE your ass off, now get those fingers busy and pleasure Momma…”
Rhodes, “Yes Momma…”
Mpinkeyes: c’mon, sure they are, they like their other classes are CLEAR “protected species.”
Mark: the cool thing about that is: the suspect list is SMALL!
Bush: yup; it never left!
TF: I SWORE myself to secrecy, dammit!

“horrendousiscious”. LOL! I love that word!
This is so typical of the left. They can’t get any attention on talk radio, so they have to resort to making things up, which only serves to make them look pathetic. Thanks for the laugh, BZ. 🙂
The comments on the lefty blogs are a riot! Check out some of the loons who inhabit Randi Rhodes own message board.
I’ve listened to her on occasion, and it’s the epitomy of hate radio.
I just did a post of my own about this, BZ.
Wudn’t me.
Yah, this was beyond ridiculous and makes the libs look incredibly stupid but what is new?????
