Wow.

I want someone I admire to be attacked so conservatives can look bad.

Real nice. That's patently disgusting. Especially considering the entire point I posted it was on account of the fact that I like Randi. A lot. It was GOOD to hear that she was OK and that it was just some guy on air overreacting.

Tell me Doctor, when did you turn into G-Man?


Let's see, you post a blog entry as though it were news. It has to be a blog entry:

"Is this an attempt by the right wing hate machine to silence one of our own," he asked. "Are we threatening them. Are they afraid that we're winning. Are they trying to silence intimidate us."


Any half-assed decent reporter and his/her editor would know that you end questions with a question mark.

The main purpose of that blog entry was to spread the rumor that the 'attack' was due to right wing zealots trying to silence her. Why else post the whole thing and not just the part about her being mugged? No, this whole thing concentrated more on the 'fact' that it was the far right attacking those who express a liberal opinion. The icing on the cake here is that you and Ray both fell for it hook, line, and sinker. I mean, after all, why wouldn't the right be assaulting the liberals? It's just the kind of evil, vile, despicable thing that a conservative-hate mongering-right wing-conservative-baby eating-conservative would conservatively do

It just seems to me pretty petty on your part to, after everyone including Rhodes herself debunked that whole line of thought and paranoia, that you come along and make a post that essentially still holds on to the concept that the conspiracy bullshit could still be true. I did not say that you want a lefty radio personality to be attacked by conservatives to make the right look bad. I merely pointed out the fact that you'd rather hold onto the illusion that she was attacked by a far right winger rather than it being just some other horrible accident that wasn't motivated by her career or political stance.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
This is true both in politics and on the internet."
