A liberal radio talk jock, Randi Rhodes, is apparently mugged near her apartment.
It's an unfortunate thing, and I'm sorry she was hurt.
But then, her fellow talkers at Air America got into the act: "According to the blog, Elliott then said, "This does not appear to me to be a standard grab-the- money-and-run mugging," and, "Is this an attempt by the right wing hate machine to silence one of our own?" Elliot also suggested that the act might have been meant to intimidate left-wing radio, the blog reported."
But she has not reported the crime to the police. As for Air America? "In a brief statement posted on its Web site Tuesday, Air America said Rhodes "experienced an unfortunate incident hindering her from hosting the show. The reports of a presumed hate crime are unfounded."
Oops.
