The latest Sarah Palin smear from the Left: teen molester

Just when you thought the Left could not possibly sink any lower in their bid to smear Sarah Palin, Nova M manages to provide what hopefully will be the nadir of their efforts. Randi Rhodes of Nova M Radio told her listeners that she knows Palin’s type — the type that can’t be trusted with teen boys in the neighborhood (via Brian Maloney):
She’s the woman who shows up at the kid’s birthday party and starts opining about everything from politics to lawn care. This is the woman that knows it all. Will shout you down, will get revenge on you. That’s who she is.
She’s friends with all the teenage boys. You have to say no when your kids say, ‘can we sleep over at the Palin’s? No! NO!’
Rhodes recently offered the novel claim that John McCain got treated like a “prince” by his captors in North Vietnam. Apparently her separation from reality has accelerated with this piece of character assassination. There’s really no other term for it; she accuses Palin of being at least a latent child molester.
Even apart from that despicable accusation, the rest of Rhodes’ argument sounds strangely like projection. What does Rhodes herself do for a living? She “opines about everything from politics to lawn care”. Rhodes also acts as though she “knows it all”, including Palin’s sexual proclivities. If Rhodes finds opinion from strong women so offensive, maybe she should find another line of work. After this bit of lunacy, perhaps her employer should expedite that change.
Update: Rhodes is exclusively on Nova M, and has been for several months. She is no longer on Air America.

I was recently on a retreat to Asheville NC and on the drive up from FB I could only get Randi (hic)(falls on face and blames conservatives for beatiung her up) Rhodes. She and her callers are just freaking skin-crawling scary. The vile things they said about her. They one after the other called in and were practically spitting as they spoke about how they need to take any action necessary to defeat Palin. I worry for McCain and Palins safety with people like that in the world. You know, from the loving left.

Nicely done.(I am including ManlyRash). Informative but not graphic. I am pretty sure that most ladies would take it in the spirit it was given.
Cindy Munford on September 13, 2008 at 6:48 PM
I think we need Randi Rhodes, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews to host the VP and P debates.
That would be epic if shown live.

Cindy, I ran out of battery on my computer last night but I saw your comment about your hubby being a VN Crew Chief. I came in in 76 at 17 and as a crew chief and then flight engineer on Chinooks. Hawkdriver now.
So I just missed VN. But guys like your hubby and the pilots who flew them invented the air movement / air assault and we own them big time for the tactics they developed during that time. The equipment has changed over the years, but we still fly the missions the same way. Tell him that he gets a big “hats off” from me and that we’re still proud of their accomplishments.

I think it is a “consider the source” moment.
Cindy Munford on September 13, 2008 at 6:57 PM
Usually these emotional outbursts tend to fade quickly or else they go off and get high to calm down a bit. After that they are typically medicated enough that they aren’t a danger to anyone, just harmless stoners. So, don’t worry too much.
Remember, when conservatives get upset, they have a moral compass telling them that what is happening is “wrong”. All the left has is outrage. One is more effective than the other. This is why the liberal media/blogs attacks on Palin are so great. They have awakened the sleeping right and that should prove to be the downfall of the left. The right tends to vote and latch onto the reasons for their decision. The left tends to spew hate-slogans (Bushitler, McBush, you name it) and then forget to vote.
I love America!
Geministorm on September 13, 2008 at 6:58 PM
Damn, woman, I LIKE you. (Not in a “hitting on you” kind of way, mind you, but a “Hey you are a classy addition to this site” kind of way.)

Curse this tiny keyboard on my laptop. Bless your heart for understanding, ma’am.
ManlyRash on September 13, 2008 at 7:05 PM
I think B was supposed to be G? And, I think G was supposed to represent Governor, as in Bill Clinton or the Governator. Although, Palin will be a Grandmother soon too, so that would work as well I guess.

Defend Palin’s child abuse!
alphie on September 13, 2008 at 2:36 PM
You proved nothing. Mr Webster defines disparage “To speak of person in a slighting or disrespectful way.”
That may be this judges personal opinion, but it is not a fact by any stretch of a sane persons imagination.
Only people like you can interpret ‘disparage’ as child abuse and “relatives” to Palin. Where does the judge specifically point out Palin as his target?
Like I said before, you spew bullsh!t.

marc@hubsandspokes on September 13, 2008 at 7:57 PM
I have three pictures on one wall in my office at Ft. Bragg.
One is the NE cover of John Silky Edwards and his squeeze Hunter, who is hot! (I wish I could pry her out of that impossible relationship)
Another is a picture of Senator McCain in his Flightsuit next to his Skyhawk. (Makes me proud to be a pilot)
The third one is a picture of Bill Ayers standing on an American flag from “Chcago” Magazine. It’s a sure fire conversation piece that never fails to give me a chance to explain my reasoning for being so passionate now for McCain/Palin to the young soldiers who work with me. They always ask; because it’s a very disturbing picture for a soldier to see. To us, it’s not just a piece of cloth, it’s the very imbodiment of our nation and our shroud in death. When I tell them who Ayers is, it really opens their eyes.

I don’t think so, but he would love to get together with some of the guys he served with. Right now he is in Virginia, he was in contact with them on line but he got mad at the cable provider and had everything taken out. That will teach them.

Wow, Randi.
Projection much?
Professor Blather on September 13, 2008 at 8:15 PM
Cindy, I would love to organize an event to honor the Viet Nam veterans with something like a belated welcome home parade. It was impossible to do anything like that back then. (Too many people like Bill Ayers who were agitating). But I honestly would love to see the looks on their faces when they finally get a rousing cheer from their fellow Americans who owe their freedom to them.
hawkdriver on September 13, 2008 at 8:17 PM
hawkdriver on September 13, 2008 at 8:08 PM
I think I could live with the treatment of the press if it made Sen. Obama answer, really answer, how he could have associated himself with some of the slimiest characters around. I can’t imagine allowing myself to be in the same room with Ayers and his wife.
As to the picture of Ms. Hunter, you must have found a good one because the one I see all the time looks like Prince Charles’ current wife. Made the whole episode mystifying.

I am sure they would appreciate it. We’re from Virginia Beach, which has tons of military so he never got treated badly. And he came home wounded so he didn’t have to go through any airports when he came back which I understand was place soldiers took a lot of abuse.

moxie_neanderthal on September 13, 2008 at 8:53 PM
Randi Rhodes is an official spokesperson and salaried radio announcer for Air America, the radio station network of the left, and she’s got Sarah Palin all figured out, right down to broadcasting on the airwaves across the country that Palin is a know-it-all gossip mongering child molester?
Projection… indeed.
The depth of the depravity of the left knows no bottom.
SilverStar830 on September 13, 2008 at 8:54 PM
When the Republicans start funding there campaigns by ripping off seniors in a land scam, I guess so.
BTW, you have to give the Clintons credit though. Getting all of their flunkies (except the guy that had a heart attack in prison) to take the fall for them like that was impressive.
18-1 on September 13, 2008 at 8:55 PM
Imagine if McCain’s “spirtual mentor” was Randall Terry and he was a friend of Eric Robert Rudolph. Do you think the press would consider the connections mere distractions from the campaign?
18-1 on September 13, 2008 at 9:00 PM
Why do liberals just shout out the contents of their imaginations, not as a great idea for a movie script, but as as information about reality that they think everyone needs to “know”?
It’s almost like they’re screaming, “I AM A BIGOT!”
I just don’t get it.
Pythagoras on September 13, 2008 at 9:02 PM
In my humble and somewhat antiquated opinion, those terms are crude and offensive and more examples of our Slouching to Gomorrah.

E L Frederick (Sniper One) on September 13, 2008 at 10:11 PM
The left is made up of a bunch of perverts. The misfits of American society gravitate toward the Democratic Party and find their refuge.
I think the sexualization of Palin explains why the left is hot for Palin. Look at their women. Aside from Hollywood airheads like Carmen Diaz, these liberal women can’t match the beauty and brains of a Palin.
AND… she has the right to choose and choses the high road. Whether having a child with Downs or a daugther’s unexpected pregnany, she responsibly embraces motherhood and makes it look attractive, because it is. Strength, the right to choose RIGHTLY and brains go a long way.
I really think they’re just jealous.
Amy Proctor on September 13, 2008 at 10:59 PM
Why the left has these people as their bastions escapes me. Is it that they are all dullards devoid of independent thought or perhaps like sheep, enjoy being led to the slaughter? Is this the Orwellian nightmare of 1984 we are witnessing?
Let’s look, shall we, and witness Bathtub Boy Keith – a vacuous self aggrandizing plastic haired buffoon who is so fearful and petty that he would not attend the RNC as BSNBC was afraid he might be shown for the ninny that he is, Randi Rhodes – an alcoholic miscreant who vomits on herself, falls down drunk in the gutter, busts her mouth up and blames it on “Rethuglicans”, Chris “tingly” Matthews – who drools on himself more then normal when BO speaks, geez this could go on but why…game, set, match.
Now all the true whiners shrill cries of “he’s not the maverick we are”, “she not even a true woman you know, and she’s had sex with men and didn’t use abortion as birth control” Wow…all I can say is wow.

Their desperation is such that the opposition will, if need be, go to the final stage of character assassination and the MSM will back them to the hilt if it happens.

JustTruth101 on September 14, 2008 at 1:20 AM
I totally agree w/you Amy. My analogy is that the ‘feminists’ that spew their venom towards Gov. Palin are the same girls in Jr. High that felt the same way about the smarter, prettier girl, and played the same hateful game with her, knowing full well that they would never measure up to her at any point in their lives.

Hey Randi,
The doctors who did your sex reassignment surgery did a very poor job. You still look like a very ugly man.
Ceroth on September 14, 2008 at 4:58 AM
Alphie, were you beaten as a child? Are you like Trig Palin, a downs syndrome child? Did you eat paint chips, perhaps? Do you enjoy sniffing glue? Are you locked in a windowless room with only a laptop computer and a large supply of whippits?
Perhaps your keeper should up your meds, or at least make sure you are taking them.
Maybe you should try oozing out of your basement and breathing fresh air, and getting some sunlight on your skin for the first time since you were squeezed forth into life.
If this is the best you have, then the best parts of you got thrown out with the afterbirth.
E L Frederick (Sniper One) on September 14, 2008 at 5:16 AM
I greatly appreciate your loyalty, determination & effort on behalf of the team. Your energy & drive are essential ingredients for winning.
(I remember seeing a cartoon character in full temper, red flames burning upwards from feet to head, then steam spouting out of the ears. Such a bad boy, made me laugh. But then, head down, there was the shuffling of feet, and self berating for the lack of self-control. And after a moment of that, the light bulb turns on over the head, and off to battle again, but this time with more disciple. Such a good boy, makes me so proud, and hopeful for mission success.)
So, please don’t get yourself banned!
Loxodonta on September 14, 2008 at 5:31 AM
Well said.
The one way that people like Randi Rhodes can hurt our cause is that their demented rants can provoke some of our team members to fly off the handle and shoot before they focus. We need a big tent that is full of supporters to win this fight. It’s simply not possible to assemble and maintain a large coalition by spouting vile language & slurs or by promoting fear & hate. It’s not the sort of thing you would do at a the table after you’ve invited the whole family to gather, and have grandparents, children and far flung cousins present. At least not if you ever want the to come to your house again.
Of course, such a large group will not agree on every issue, and there will be bickering and jostling for position. But if we can’t tolerate any criticism or difference of opinion without going into a rage, and if we can’t maintain our manners and discipline, then we are not going to win the election or be able to effectively govern.
Loxodonta on September 14, 2008 at 6:11 AM
I think Randi Rhodes should be given a show on MSNBC and should be quoted often in the Mainstream Press! Keep speaking out Randi! The American people have a right to know what you think! Speak “truth” to power! You go girl! Bwhahahahahhah!
sabbott on September 14, 2008 at 8:14 AM
That great thing about these rabid lefties like Rhodes is they illustrate the absurdity of the left.
This is just another point in the McCain column.

…”Or Rove and Palin are spending so much time and money trying to shut down the Troopergate investigation because????”
alphie on September 13
My understanding is that Sarah said: “Bring it on!”, not “Shut it down!” I think that it has something to do with the fact that she fired the idiot who wouldn’t fire her ex-bro-in-law (who tasered one of her children and threatened her father with his life), and was justified in her decision.
If you inform yourself on the facts, you won’t need to insert Rove into your embarrassing case of Tourretes. (SP?)
Exit questions for What’s It All About, alphie?: WHO has accused her of molesting ‘young, healthy boys’? (The ‘funny’ line of a black comedian who had one stand-up gig, then crashed.) Are there any facts in your posts, or just hysterical fabrications?
Christine on September 14, 2008 at 12:30 PM
What an ugly woman Randi Rhoades is. Does it seem to be that liberal woman are very unattractive? I presume that when your ugly on the inside it reflects on the outward appearance.

I wonder if failed-Air-America hate queen Randi Rhodes was drunk, or sober, when she made that comment?
byteshredder on September 14, 2008 at 2:14 PM
More people have now heard this drunken moonbat’s rant at this site than have ever heard her on the radio.
-
We mustn’t get overconfident, naturally: there is a lot of work to be done yet, BUT – despite the best efforts of the Old Media and the hard nutcase left, the people have begun to see through the empty suit and discern that there is nothing there besides a TV spokesmodel and the same old socialism which has been proven a failure repeatedly, here and across the world.
-
Not to get ahead of ourselves, but if we can pull this win out, it will not only be great for the country but, judging by their reactions to the Palin nomination, we will be in for some great entertainment watching the Obamists and assorted moonbats melt down completely.

Better lay in extra popcorn . . .
