We’re almost starting to feel sorry for the kook-Left in this country. Yet another attempt to generate controversy based upon complete fabrications and intentional misrepresentation of the facts has fallen flat on its face.
Air America host Randi Rhodes was walking her dog on Sunday night near her Manhattan apartment and the initial reports, err… rumors were that she was attacked. This “attack” resulted in her missing a few teeth. (And in the spirit of compassion over here on the right, we wish Ms. Rhodes a speedy recovery from her injuries no matter how it happened).
Fellow Air America host, Jon Elliot though, saw darker intentions behind the attack blaming it on a, yep, Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy. According to Talking Radio, a blog that monitors… talk radio, Elliot said:

“Is this an attempt by the right-wing, hate machine to silence one of our own?" "Are we threatening them? Are they afraid that we’re winning? Are they trying to silence intimidate us?"
(The irony of a blog providing the quote for the story was not lost on us. The absence of any tapes or transcripts kind of gives you an indication of how much people are paying attention to the station and what they are saying…. and how much they are winning.)
This was followed by reports that her attack was not a “hate crime”. Well, if they’re sticking to the attack story why are they convinced that it was NOT a hate crime?
The latest word from both the police and her own lawyer now is that she was never attacked at all and suffered her injuries by simply falling on her own.
wow.
Whether it’s the bogus Bush Texas Air National Guard memos, or Scott Beauchamp filing false reports from Iraq, or the phony Rush “phony soldiers” accusations or this ginning-up of a right-wing attack on a liberal talk-show host…. what has struck us about each one of these is just how feeble they are and just how little time it took for each of them to fall apart under just the most nominal of scrutiny.
All this energy and passion focused on discrediting and/or embarrassing Bush, Republicans, conservatives and the U.S. military.... and this is the best they can come up with?
These people are an affront to the good name of “conspiracy” where the usage of the term implies at least a degree of aptitude and competence.

Hey, didn't you get the memo? Dan Rather is sticking by his story, and after all he is Dan Rather.
But intent on vindicating his reputation, capable of financing an expensive legal challenge, and armed with the power of subpoena, Rather will charge his attorneys to interrogate news executives and perhaps administration officials under oath on a secret and sordid chapter of the Bush presidency.
Shame on CBS for its complicity and corruption with this corrupt administration. Bogus, Air Guard memos you say?
No congressional committee would be able to penetrate into the sanctum of any news organization to divulge its inner workings.
But the truth will come out with Dan Rather at the helm of his wrongful termination suit.
