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?"

Manu...just curious about what makes this thread's title any different from someone on the left putting all Christians in the same category as looney toons or the Pastors that have fallen, or all of those on the right in the same category as anne coulter or rush limbaugh or the KKK or white supremists? :slap:

[BoogyMan]

It was my understanding, and please correct me if I am wrong, that it was a co-host named Jon Elliot who made the dubious claim that was later rescinded.

Dirty pool all around.

[Hugh Lincoln]

Hilarious!

The left is so damn eager to be victims, they manufacture it even if it's not real!

KKK night riders came through Manhattan and attacked her! Ha! What a joke.

If that's the case then anne coulter or ted haggard or a pastor having homo sex with his parishioners in some church in the hills of NC, or the corrupt representative duke cunningham and possibly senator ted stevens should be used as the example of ''the right'' in its entirety?

no, not trying to rationalize the lie at all!!! i think it was pretty scummy, to say the least!!! and THE PERSON lying should be called out for it, but i don't think ''the left'' or ''liberals'' or ''democrats'' had anything to do with this particul;ar person's lie....that's all...

It would seem appropriate for liberals to call him on it. It would not do any good for a conservative to call him on it. The conservative would just be attacking him.

And before you condemn me for not calling Limbaugh on his antics, know this, I neither listen to him, or Hannity or Savage so I wouldn't be able to call them on it anyway. Besides, all three are lost causes anyway. ;) They don't care what we have to say. All they care about is that we support their advertisers and those advertisors support them.

how many people n ''the left'' even listen to air america, or have it available to listen to it, and many people on the left EVEN KNOE WHO this guy is that supposedly said this lie, and you are calling on WHO from the left to call him out on it?

i don't get it, but i will surely remember to point out a single, unknown person on the right that has lied and label/brandish ''the right'' for this unknown person's actions in the future! :poke:

Yes, you were accused by typo I think? on a thread about Anne Coulter and the right came back and argued that she was not them, and shoul not be blamed for what Coulter, says cuz she is basically just trying to earn a living...

I am just pointing out that the left was called on this by you all, including Manu, if memory serves, (but I could be wrong on that), yet a thread from someone on the right doing the same thing only with someone that doesn't have a smidgeon of the same audience and listenership through their books and appearances on national tv, or sindicated print as Coulter, and blaming "the left" for the actions of this person is calling the kettle black...

I was teasing on blaming the entire right for something a single person does...I was just saying what is good for the goose, should be good for the gander too...at least some people would see it that way.

I personally do not subscribe to such fodder, and think it is wrong for either side to do, though sometimes even find myself caught up in it.... :(

The difference here is...the host filling in for Rhodes is the one who accused a conservative right winger of probably attacking her on air...which wasn't true at all....she tripped and fell and busted out a couple of teeth...

I don't think you're going to see people just sit back and not say anything about it...

Rush and Ann all spoke on subjects for themselves...

so Randi Rhodes says that what this fellow host is saying about her is a lie, or is bogus.

WOW! that was MIGHTY HONEST of her, a well known person on the left, no? LOL

:poke:

of course the antagonist, the writer of the article, did leave out two key words in my opinion that would have given the proper emphasis on WHAT WAS important to note, and made it appear at first read that Rhandi Rhodes herself made the false claims, instead of being the one that actually called out the false claims.... and SAID they were BOGUS.

My point was that we should be policing our own. I realize that this is never done. We all tend to point fingers at the other guy and slap our side on the back in congratulations. Both sides more or less egg their own side on.

As to how many people on the left listen to Air America, I don't know. I thought they folded a year ago. I have heard Randi Rhodes and I can say that she rivals Michael Savage in the realm of hatred for opponents.

Immie

[retiredman]

Was it OK to say that when Haggarty was exposed?

how about:

The right caught trolling for anonymous buttsex in the airport restroom

or:

the right caught hot chatting with male pages while house votes were held open

or:

the right caught taking bribes from defense contractors

your attempting to hang this incident on "the left" is pretty funny... in a pathetic sort of way.

[JohnDoe]

now don't jump to conclusions.....the article states it was her lawyer and a police source that came clean about it.....she wasn't mentioned.....good morning pmp,

the Lawyer in this case works for Randi Rhodes, her lawyer IS her representation, to imply that her own lawyer does not represent her is silly, don't you think? Well, I think it is a far stretch trying to disassociate her own Lawyer's comments on this... with her, the lawyer's client.

Me thinks this is a big to do, about nothing....

except that Randi Rhodes herself, called the "talk" bogus....sure she did not show up on tv herself saying it because she lost several front teeth in the accident, but her lawyer represented and represents her and her sentiments.

Jesus, is this all you right wingnuts have to bitch about?

Pretty slim pickings...

So she wasn't mugged...she fell down. So some of her liberal colleagues jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Who cares?

Let's talk about Larry Craig. I saw him on TV the other night, talking about how he was a hetero guy who was being falsely accused. His wife was sitting next to him, looking at him like he was the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan.

Now that's good stuff. You couldn't make up stuff like that.
