10/16 Haha, I like how quickly Jon Elliott 'connects the dots' from 'she was
injured' to 'she was mugged' to 'it's a right wing conspiracy.'

\_ Turns out she wasn't mugged after all

\_ How 'bout we wait until actual details come out (As Elliot should
have done.. But hey, he's got airtime to fill). BTW, the Daily
News is a small step above drudge on "breaking" stories.
Like from her herself:

\_ Sorry I didn't scour the internet for a source you approve.
Blowhard.
\_ Seriously, you count the daily news as a reputable news
source? Please start signing your posts with a unique
identifier so we can ignore you.
\_ Same to you blowhard. Seriously, If I have a list of 10
sites all reporting exactly the same thing, you expect me
to get really worried about the one you like best?
\_ I dub thee Suckhard. -!pp |

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. 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." Rhodes started with the Air America when it launched in 2004. The network released a statement that said Rhodes "experienced an unfortunate incident." "The reports of a presumed hate crime are unfounded," the statement read by a receptionist at the network's New York offices said. "Ms Rhodes is looking forward to being back on the air on Thursday." Are you that SICK in the head that just because you don't agree with someone's political views you believe that they deserve to be mugged? Another blogger shot back, "I very seriously doubt if this unfortunate woman was mugged by a conservative. To jump to the conclusion that she was mugged by someone on the right is bigotry of another kind. |
