Just how far are lefty pundits willing to go to smear Sarah Palin? On behalf of the "progressive" movement, libtalker Randi Rhodes seems determined to sink to new depths of moral depravity, with the limits of imagination as her only impediment. Less than a week after her wildly dishonest claim that John McCain was "well-treated" during his wartime imprisonment in Vietnam, Rhodes is at it again, this time making a strong inference that Palin likes to sleep with teenage boys. It's further evidence of a widespread smear campaign that involves lefty bloggers, libtalkers and the mainstream news media. With this...

Liberal radio host, Randi Rhodes went on a tirade about Sarah Palin and who she thinks the GOP VP nominee hangs around with with. AUDIO

Top Left Radio Host Suggests Palin Might Sleep With Teen Boys TOP LEFT RADIO HOST SUGGESTS PALIN MIGHT SLEEP WITH TEEN BOYS

Of course he (McCain) became very friendly with the Vietnamese. They called him the Prince. He was well treated actually.

When liberal talk radio host Randi Rhodes returned to the airwaves last month after her well-publicized departure from the Air America Network, she knew her loyal listeners would be relieved.But even she didn't anticipate the fevered response, evidenced by sacks of mail and hundreds of calls. Not to mention a suitcase worth of Mary Kay cosmetics hand-delivered by a fan to the West Palm Beach studios of WJNO-AM 1290, where Rhodes' afternoon drive-time program now originates under a new syndication deal."There was, like, a room full of stuff!" said Rhodes, whose weekly audience of 1.5 million-plus listeners positions her among...

The DUmmies are going to have to guzzle down at least 14 Bloody Marys to kill the pain caused by the loss of Randi Rhodes. Yes, Randi has split from Air America. Ostensibly it was because of her suspension due to her "whore" comments about Hillary and Nancy Pelosi. However, it was pretty inevitable that Air America was going to DUmp Randi in the near future in large part because of her lousy ratings. So will this mean that we won't hear Randi on the air anymore? For the most part---yes. She has ended up at NOVA M RADIO...

Radio talker Randi Rhodes, who last week was suspended from Air America for obscene language at a public appearance, has switched to Nova M Radio, a competing syndicator. Clear Channel Denver announced Thursday that Rhodes will be reinstated in her afternoon timeslot (1-4 p.m.) on KKZN 760 AM, under a new contract with syndicator Nova M Radio, effective Monday. Nova M Radio, another progressive radio outfit, was founded by some of the originators of Air America. Celebrity voices will fill in for Rhodes until a replacement is named. According to Kris Olinger, who manages Denver's Air America affiliate, Rosie O'Donnell,...

We will soon announce exciting new talent and programming that will accelerate Air America’s growth in the future....... This statement just in from Air America chair Charlie Kireker and president Mark Green: Last week Air America suspended Randi Rhodes for abusive, obscene language at a recent public appearance in San Francisco which was sponsored by an Air America affiliate station. Air America Media was informed last night by Ms. Rhodes that she has chosen to terminate her employment with the company. We wish her well and thank her for past services to Air America.

This is the biggest Randi Rhodes story since she was MUGGED on a New York street by 14 Bloody Marys last October. It seems our gentle Randi has been indefinitely suspended by Air America for calling Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro whores. As a result DUmmieland is in an uproar as you can see in this THREAD "Dangerous Randi Rhodes has been silenced." Oddly enough, your humble correspondent does not believe that Randi should be fired. You see, I feel I have a proprietary interest in Randi's career because I was the one who got Randi hired by Air...

Warning: Strong Language. "What a whore Geraldine Ferraro is! She's such a **** whore! ... Hillary is a big **** whore, too," said Air America host Randi Rhodes during a live appearance.

Air America radio has suspended talk show host Randi Rhodes for what has been described as an appalling rant against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Clinton supporter Geraldine Ferraro. Rhodes used obscene language in her choice remarks during a March 22 appearance in San Francisco, sponsored by an Air America affiliate station. In a statement issued on the liberal radio network’s Web site, Air America chairman Charlie Kireker said that kind of salty talk has no place in the political dialogue.

Some comments are even too shocking for the hard-left managers of Air America. Brian Maloney at Radio Equalizer has a breaking story:

Randi Rhodes, an afternoon host for the progressive Air America radio network, was suspended Thursday after repeatedly insulting Hillary Rodham Clinton at an event last month. Ms. Rhodes used vulgar language that likened Ms. Clinton to a prostitute at an event sponsored by KKGN, the Air America affiliate in the San Francisco area, on March 22. A video of Ms. Rhodes’ remarks was published to the video-sharing Web site YouTube on Tuesday, prompting condemnations by some bloggers.

Bring Mika The Head of John Gibson By Mark Finkelstein | January 24, 2008 - 10:29 ET The woman who got her big break on network TV thanks to the firing of Don Imus apparently now wants another host to lose his job over some tasteless remarks. Morning Joe is the show that took over MSNBC's early-morning time slot after Imus was bounced for his offensive observations about the Rutgers women's basketball team. Mika Brzezinski, a regular member of the Morning Joe crew, has now left little doubt that she would like to see John Gibson fired for his callous...

Air America radio host Randi Rhodes unleashed a torrent of what's being called "liberal racism" and accused Oprah Winfrey of "acting" when she stumped for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. On her show last week, Rhodes discussed Oprah's appearances on Obama's behalf, and told listeners: "She was blacker than Obama yesterday . . . Let me tell you something. Everyone who watches Oprah are the whitest people in the world . . . Even the black men who watch Oprah are white women while they watch Oprah . . . "She's like so unbelievably white . . . Why is...

Fresh off her recent assault in which many suspect the culprit to have been 14 Bloody Marys, Air America radio talk host Randi Rhodes has now wandered into Moonbat conspiracy territory with her suggestion that Blackwater was the the cause of the current wildfires in California. Here is a partial transcript (audio available here) of what Randi said on the air on Wednesday: I started just doing Google searches to try and figure out. You know, arson, arson, it was like crazy trying to figure out why is that being downplayed? Why is that, you know, just a small part...

In yesterday's DUFU EDITION we saw how Randi Rhodes suggested that Blackwater started the California fires. Today we shall read how Randi's fans, the Rhodes "Scholars" on her official message board, agree with their Bloody Mary guzzling heroine. Their tinfoil hat rantings can be seen in this THREAD titled, "Blackwater trying to set up in California." So let us now watch the Rhodes "Scholars" fall face down on the sidewalk with their conspiracy theories in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if guzzling down 14 Bloody Marys will make it into the Guinness Book of...

You can almost hear the pure, unfiltered stupidity: Linky

Apparently Randi Rhodes suffered worse head injuries than originally thought when she was ASSAULTED last week by 14 Bloody Marys. Air America is the main Leftwing radio network (which means it is tottering on the verge of collapse) and Randi Rhodes is their primary host. So what does it say about the left when their primary representative on the radio sounds like a flat out Moonbat with her theory that the wildfires in Southern California were started by Blackwater. Read her ranting below and for verification check out the audio above. Hey, Randi, maybe it you really weren't attacked...

LOS ANGELES — The other day, liberal talk radio host Randi Rhodes was reportedly out walking her dog when she fell and hit her head. She didn’t remember what happened, which led at least one of her colleagues, and countless bloggers, to speculate that she had literally been a victim of the Right-wing hit machine. Not so, as it turned out. No one hit her, Right wing or otherwise. She fell. The colleague who had ranted about the Right attacking her apologized and took it all back. End of story? Not quite. The next day, I appeared on Hannity and...

In a bigtime case of the pot calling the kettle black, liberal talk radio host Ed Schultz is attacking the credibility of Air America radio host Randi Rhodes concerning her highly dubious story about her non-mugging last Sunday outside an Irish bar in New York. Brian Maloney of the Radio Equalizer has been on top of this Randi Rhodes "mugging" story from the beginning. Maloney yesterday highlighted the credibility problems of Rhodes' lame explanation on the air Thursday of her non-mugging: Sadly, the explanation of events given during a seven-minute opening segment yesterday simply doesn't hold water, especially her reason for initially...

<p>Liberal radio talker Randi Rhodes was back on the air yesterday, and she kicked off her show by saying she doesn't know how her face got smashed Sunday afternoon outside a bar near her Murray Hill apartment.</p> <p>"I was watching football in an Irish pub," Rhodes told listeners. "I went out to smoke a cigarette, and the next thing I knew I was down on the cement, face down, bleeding."</p>

SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: Last weekend, Airhead America talk show host Randi Rhodes was reportedly mugged and beaten in New York City. Another liberal host, John Eliot, immediately blamed the supposedly brutal beating on a possible right-wing hate machine. Other left-wing media outlets followed suit. As it turns out, Rhodes wasn't beaten at all. It's believed that she fell while taking her dog for a walk. So will liberal groups like Media Matters go after irresponsible media outlets that repeated this unfounded story?

As reported here in NewsBusters yesterday, liberals immediately began blaming conservatives for the supposed mugging of Air America talk show host Randi Rhodes on a New York street. After much blame cast in the leftwing blogosphere against evil rightwing muggers as the culprits, it turned out that there was no mugging in the first place. Supposedly it was just an accident. However, there is now some interesting speculation as to just what caused Randi's non-mugging. Here is an interesting observation made by commentator GBW over at Gawker.com in a post amusingly titled, Was Talk Show Host Randi Rhodes Jumped By...

<p>Liberal talk-show host Randi Rhodes suffered painful facial injuries Sunday night when she slammed to the ground in an murky incident alternately described as a mugging, a fall, a drunken stumble and a right-wing hate attack.</p> <p>The hullabaloo began Monday night when Jon Elliott, another network host, reported that the loose-lipped lib, who takes her name from Ozzy Osbourne's late guitarist, Randy Rhoads, had been mugged at 39th Street and Park Avenue, a hop, skip and jump from her apartment.</p>

Okay, I admit it. I am the one who mugged Randi Rhodes. I had to silence her voice because Randi, via her radio show, was making such a huge impact on the electorate. Using money from a secret Rovian source I flew up to New York and accosted her on the street. Oops! You mean Randi Rhodes was NOT mugged? Damn that is so inconvenient for the DUmmies who had a field day alleging all sort of rightwing conspiracies to take Randi out of action as you can see in this THREAD incorrectly titled, "Randi Rhodes is the Victim...

Earlier today, the port side of the blogosphere erupted in righteous indignation as reports that Air America radio host Randi Rhodes got mugged began to swirl. Many bloggers started blaming a nameless conservative mugger, and then began extending the indictment to the entire conservative movement. It served their prejudices to think that conservative meanies would lay in wait for Rhodes just to keep her from speaking Truth to Power, etc etc etc. The only fly in the ointment? Rhodes never got mugged at all (via Michelle Malkin): Air America radio host Randi Rhodes is temporarily off the air, but claims...

By DAVID B. CARUSO | Associated Press Writer 5:36 PM EDT, October 16, 2007 NEW YORK - An Air America radio personality apologized Tuesday for saying that a colleague, the liberal talk show host Randi Rhodes, had been the victim of a violent street mugging perpetrated by "the right wing hate machine." Air America's Jon Elliott announced on his late-night show Monday that Rhodes had been assaulted Sunday while walking her dog in Manhattan near her Park Avenue apartment. He also speculated that the attack was the work of someone trying to silence a liberal voice. Elliott's account of the...

NOTE: I am glad she was not seriously hurt and glad she was not mugged. Because the whackjobs had to project on our side what they might do, this had to be written. She has joked before about assassination. MIDI - LONDON BRIDGE Careful when you walk your dog...danger's lurking Randi Rhodes is falling down, falling down, falling down Randi Rhodes is falling down...now she's toothless Lefties lie and blame the right, blame the right, blame the right Lefties lie and blame the right...we're so ruthless It's not surprising what they were surmising This stuff is not new...karma just got...

NEW YORK - An attorney for Air America radio personality Randi Rhodes is disputing on on-air report by a colleague that the liberal talk show host was attacked on a Manhattan street. Air America's Jon Elliott announced on his late-night show Monday that Rhodes had been assaulted Sunday while walking her dog about a block from her Park Avenue home. He also speculated that the attack was the work of "the right wing hate machine." Elliott's account of the incident, however, was contested Tuesday by Rhodes attorney, Robert Gaulin.

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...

Air America Host Randi Rhodes Mugged By Rogers Cadenhead Watching the Watchers Air America Radio host Randi Rhodes was mugged near her Manhattan apartment Sunday night, losing several teeth in a brutal attack that has knocked her off the air while she recuperates, fellow host Jon Elliott announced on his show early Tuesday morning. "It is with sadness that tonight I inform you that my Air America colleague Randi Rhodes was assaulted last night while walking her dog near her New York City home," Elliott told his listeners this morning on Air America. The attack took place near the corner...

Randi Rhodes is the Victim of a Violent Attack Randi Rhodes was mugged on Sunday night on 39th Street and Park Ave, nearby her Manhattan apartment, while she was walking her dog Simon. According to Air America Radio late night host Jon Elliott, Rhodes was beaten up pretty badly, losing several teeth and will probably be off the air for at least the rest of the week. At of late Monday night we have not able to locate any press accounts of the attack and nothing has been posted on the AAR website. Several liberal blogs, including the Randi Rhodes...

You can tell the Left is dissatisfied with the inevitability of the Hildebeast by their yearning for Al Gore. This yearning has taken the form of desperation as you can tell by this DUmmie THREAD titled, "Randi asked Al Gore to run, please run. He held her head between his hands & kissed her cheek." The best thing about this desperation is that it is FUn to watch. So let us now watch Randi Rhodes and the DUmmies BEG their mighty Goracle to run in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, noting that Randi is only...

Who says liberals lack a sense of humor? The new owner of Air America suggests that the original Air America went bankrupt because . . . it was too even-handed. Mark Green is a veteran New York pol, having served as NYC's Public Advocate and run unsuccessfuly for US senator, NYC mayor and state attorney general. His family business recently completed the acquisition of Air America out of bankruptcy. Details here. In an email distributed today [yup, I subscribe to their list], Green described what "Air America 2.0" will be like: "It'll be a business with a sharp point...

Air America's afternoon host, Randi Rhodes, has been relegated to evenings on WWRC, in good part because Hess believes her show is unrelentingly harsh and bitter. "She's got unbridled passion, which is good," he says, "but my ears are going to bleed after 15 minutes. Man, how about a laugh now and then?" SNIPWWRC's ratings numbers are so tiny that the data do not provide useful information...SNIP Meanwhile, the station's next challenge might be to replace programs produced by Air America, which make up more than half of each day's offerings on WWRC. Air America is in dire financial shape,...

The good news for Randi Rhodes is that Air America recently agreed to her exhorbitant contract demands. The bad news for Randi Rhodes is that contract appears to be WORTHLESS since Air America will be filing for bankruptcy this Friday. This announcement about Air America's bankruptcy was made earlier today on the leftwing THINK PROGRESS site. So, despite the widespread media acclaim which greeted its birth a couple of years ago, Air America is now slinking away into the night burdened by lousy ratings and less revenue. Of course, the DUmmies are already mourning the passing of Air America...

I have many friends who are Democrats. I believe most of them are more moderate than those whose rantings are off the wall, but their silence has been deafening in the face of such episodes as the trashing of Justice Roberts and his family, calling the President a Hitler, equating Guantanamo to Soviet gulags and Nazi concentration camps, exposing secret programs that protect us, the Plame-Wilson cabal, etc., etc., etc. When you stand silently by when something is done in your name, you lend support to that something. Are you going to stand silently by as this film is shown...

SIX YEARS into the Bush administration, are there any new lows to which the Bush-haters can sink? George W. Bush has been smeared by the left with every insult imaginable. He has been called a segregationist who yearns to revive Jim Crow and compared ad nauseam to Adolf Hitler. His detractors have accused him of being financially entwined with Osama bin Laden. Of presiding over an American gulag. Of being a latter-day Mussolini. Howard Dean has proffered the ``interesting theory" that the Saudis tipped off Bush in advance about 9/11. One US senator (Ted Kennedy) has called the war in...

There is now a cryptic ANNOUNCEMENT on Mike Malloy's website: MIKE MALLOY FIRED BY AIR AMERICA RADIO There will be no Mike Malloy program today - or any day - on Air America Radio as we have been terminated. We are as shocked as you are. We are told its a financial decision. As a result there is great mourning in the Leftist blogosphere as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD posted by Mrs. Mike Malloy titled, "Mike Malloy Fired from Air America Radio." Joining in the mourning process are the Daily Kos KOmmies with a THREAD titled,...

Nationally syndicated radio host Neal Boortz stated on his show today that Randi Rhodes might find herself in court if she continues to tell lies on the air during her radio program. Since the two appeared on the Larry King Live show a few weeks ago, Rhodes has been obsessed with Boortz after he made her look foolish on national television. At one point Rhodes claimed Boortz made a statement about Muslims that Boortz said he never made. Boortz then issued a challenge to Rhodes with a $5,000 bet. Rhodes accepted the challenge and then told Larry King and the...

*** Exclusive To The Radio Equalizer *** Has Janeane Garofalo's liberal talk show been declared FUBAR by Air America Radio? With one source indicating (via hard copy information) that it may leave the airwaves as soon as tonight, it appears very likely that the self- loathing and acerbic talker / actress / Hollywood political hothead may already have done her last show.

*** Exclusive To The Radio Equalizer - Part One ****** Updated With Breaking News Below *** It has long been reasonable to characterize Air America Radio as having an every man- for- himself work environment, where the name of the game is to see who grab the most cash before the whole mess finally comes crashing down. Add to the mix a nearly- constant stream of financial support from Real Networks honcho Rob Glaser and billionaire currency raider George Soros and the greedy temptation to push for obscene salaries, perks and benefits simply becomes too great to resist. Central to...

In yesterday's EDITION of the DUmmie FUnnies, the KOmmies at The Daily Kos asserted the wishful thinking that AM talk radio is fading fast. Perhaps they were thinking ONLY of leftwing AM radio. Just a couple of years ago, the leftwing Air America Radio was hailed by the MSM as the "answer" to Rush Limbaugh and other conservative talk show hosts who dominate the AM airwaves. What ended up fading fast wasn't AM talk radio but the dream of competing with conservative talk radio. The left in general has pretty much given up on Air America as you can...

A further update to the evening talk shuffling taking place in RHODE ISLAND: with Jay Severin replacing Sean Hannity in the 7-10 PM slot on WPRO (630 Providence), Hannity moves to the 10 PM-1 AM slot there. That displaces Michael Savage, who moves up the dial to Clear Channel's WHJJ (920 Providence), knocking ideological opposite Randi Rhodes and local host Geoff Charles off the late-night lineup.

Remember all the media hype for Air America when it first launched a couple of years ago? Before even the first broadcast, the MSM gave us adulatory stories about how Air America would give conservative talk radio, namely Rush Limbaugh, a run for their money. Actually make that NO MONEY. Air America has had such LOW RATINGS that they have to rely on either leftwing moneybags like George Soros to come up with their revenue or raid Boys and Girls Clubs charities to pay for Al Franken's inflated salary. In fact, this year Al Franken demanded his years salary...

This title of this DUmmie THREAD, "Save Air America Phoenix," will soon morph into "Save Air America New York." Hey DUmmies! You think you have problems now with Err America going off the air in Phoenix? Well, in less than a month Err America will probably be going off the air on its flagship WLIB New York station as you can see in this New York Post story, AIR AMERICA TUNED OUT? And WHY is Err America flickering out all over the country? Simple. The Err America hosts suck, specifically they are BORRRRRING as even the DUmmies themselves have...
