One Air America Host Not Mugged But Another Host Blames The Right

Got that? When I read that she had been mugged, I actually felt bad for Randi Rhodes. I then found out she wasn’t mugged, but had tripped while walking her dog. I wish her a speedy recovery. That’s the kind of pain that lingers, because you feel dumb for tripping, and you twisted your body in such as way as to ease the fall, that you take forever to heal!

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?”

And That’s Not All… Now How Much Would You Pay? Priceless comment at Taylor Marsh’s blog. Thanks to Enlightened for this.

I think the folks on our side better wake the fark up and realize we are in basically a slow boil civil war here in the good ol USSA. It’s one you don’t hear about in the corporate media but look back over the last TWENTY years. Abortion providers murdered, womens health clinics bombed, gay bars bombed, liberal radio hosts murdered and assualted with attempts on lives. Sixty gazillion dollars of attack adds on rightwingnutospere shows(comperable worth) publishing of addresses of radio liberals who DARE speak up. It IS a war and we’d better farkin wake up to that fact.

They’re not anti-war. They’re jonesing pretty hard to fight a war against their fellow countrymen, whom they consider enemies, as they don’t consider “country” a worthy concept to be loyal towards. Their “country” is ideology and ideology alone, which is why there is so little self-awareness about their perpetual claims to “patriotism” while simultaneously calling for jihad against their fellow citizens. They’re patriotic, but not towards America: towards the transnationalist progressive collectivist Nation of Earth.

And we’re enemies of that “country,” and hence we are their enemies in war.

Michelle Malkin has a great roundup of the leftwing spew on this, but this sums it up for me:
