That darn right-wing hate machine’s even causing Liberal talk radio personalities to fall while walking their dogs…

Early reports from an Air America personality said that Randi Rhodes (Air America) was mugged while jogging. Instantly many of her supporters assumed it was a conspiracy by the government (no, seriously) or the “right-wing hate machine” trying to silence her (again, really).  Ya know, because no one ever usually gets mugged in New York unless it’s a conspiracy…Anywho, turns out she simply fell while walking her dog and will be back on Thursday.

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 they afraid that we’re winning? Are they trying to silence intimidate us?”

A police source said Rhodes never filed a report and never claimed to be the victim of a mugging. Cops from Manhattan’s 17th Precinct called her attorney, who told them Rhodes was not a victim of a crime, the source said.

Rhodes’ lawyer told the Daily News she was injured in a fall while walking her dog.

Yeah, so much for all of those conspiracy theories…
