Prayers for her recovery.

My dogs would have licked him to death. Worthless watch dogs. I should have bought a gun.

I have a really friendly little pit bull mix. He has never growled at anyone. He caught a bird once and when I told him to "drop" he did and the bird flew away. Really nice, good dog.

My wife was pregnant and walking him. A guy behind her got too close. My dog turned, bared his teeth, hair raised, the whole works. Guy left . . . pronto. Given 5 years of knowing the dog and knowing for a fact that he only did that once, I think that he smelled or sensed something was wrong with the guy or with what the guy intended. I guess I'm saying your dogs may be there for you more than you think.

Where was Al Franken at the time?

Rhodes' radio career began in Seminole, Texas,...

I grew up not too far from Seminole. Hard to believe a West Texas girl could go so wrong, that part of Texas is as conservative as it gets.

Wow. Great story - thanks for sharing it. I’m so happy your wife is OK and that nothing happened.

[from occupied ga]

Guess she’ll be converting to conservatism, now that she’s been mugged?

Well liberals are always saying that if you have a gun, the criminal will just take it away from you and use it on you, the police will protect you , and that you should just give criminals what they want.

As a liberal living in Anus City, we can assume that she wasn't carrying, so that doesn't enter into it. The police did their usual job of protecting a citizen (ie file a report after the fact) Of course if she were a politician, it would be different, but as liberak as she is, she's still a common nobody as far as the police are concerned. And finally I guess she gave the criminals what they wanted - which was to hurt her. Personally I'm not sure how that criminal taking the gun away from you and using it on you works. If that were feasible, why don't more victims take the guns away from criminals and use them on the criminals?

She can take solace in the fact that in the unlikely event that the thugs who beat her are caught, that in NYC they will surely receive counseling.

I am sorry she was attacked and wish her a speedy recovery. I am also sorry that the first inclination of these idiots is to blame the right.

Reminds me of the Morton Downey, Jr. “neo-nazi incident.”

The one where Downey, in a desperate ploy for ratings, faked his own mugging at the hands of neo-Nazis. Unfortunately he got the swastika backwards.

[Balding_Eagle]

No one should be mugged.

BUT

If muggings are going to occur,

AND since LIBERAL policies are the root cause

IT’S ONLY RIGHT that liberals, especially liberals who do all they can to promote the policies that lead to lawlessness, are the targets.

[New Perspective]

Someone beat me to it, Morton Downney JR, and remember Paul Mirecki,ansas University professor who’s gained recent notoriety for his Internet tirades against Christian fundamentalists and Catholics. Religious studies professor Paul Mirecki said he was beaten early Monday morning on the side of the road in rural Douglas County by two unidentified men who’d been tailgating him in a large pickup truck. Mirecki said his attackers made references to the controversy that has propelled him into the headlines in recent weeks.

Rest of the story here.

Fake. If they want to make assumptions so can we. She probably fell down drunk on the way to her AA meeting.

[DManA]

Yeah, Rush probably had his bodybuard Stalin attack Rhodes.

I hope "Stalin" has a good alibi.

[Hacklehead]

“Pointing out that Rhodes was wearing a jogging suit”

Motive established

[NativeNewYorker]

She also compared Katrina evacuees to Holocaust deportees. A vile vile person.

[Roses0508]

What kind of dog allows its owner to be mugged? My dog would never allow anyone to raise a hand to me, not even my husband.

[Ditto]

"More than 35 years ago, the Ku Klux Klan blew up the station's transmitters twice within the Houston station's first year on the air.

Did Senator Byrd have an alibi?

[robertpaulsen]

Oh my. With the temporary loss of Randi Rhodes, this might negatively affect Air America's ratings.

Or boost it.

[EndWelfareToday]

Not surprisingly, the only talk radio host killed for his political views was a liberal.

Wow! Sounds like a bit of envy here to me. What's wrong you liberal goons? Pissed at the fact that Conservatives love their talk show hosts enough to keep them alive?

Contrary to the moonbat way of thinking, Conservatives do NOT murder people because we disagree with them. Isn't it you liberals that support the murder of innocents? 1.5 million babies are murdered by you goons each year in the US alone and check out the prisons. I'd wager that darn near 100% of the inmates are "LIBERALS" or "moderates" at best.

Y'all really need to lay off the peyote. ;-)

Lol, I guess your husband knows his place and is never going to say "honey, either the dog goes or I go!"

[bmwcyle]

If it changes them to a conservative, it is worth it.

Also the Tawney Brawley hoax or the Duke lacrosse team false charge.
