Baghdad Betty
by Michael P. Tremoglie
03 March 2005

Baghdad Betty can be distinguished from Tokyo Rose for one very salient reason. Baghdad Betty does not broadcast from Iraq --she broadcasts from Florida.

World War II gave us Tokyo Rose, the Japanese radio broadcaster whose job it was to demoralize American troops. Seoul City Sue did the same thing for the North Korean communists during the Korean War. Hanoi Hanna was the Vietnamese communist version.

Today we have Baghdad Betty. However, Baghdad Betty can be distinguished from the aforementioned for one very salient reason. Baghdad Betty does not broadcast from Iraq -- she broadcasts from Florida.

Baghdad Betty aka Randi Rhodes is one of Air America’s premier talk show hosts. Actually, Randi Rhodes is a nome de microphone. According to a recent Ann Coulter column, her real name is a secret.

I first heard Rhodes about a year ago during a trip to Fort Lauderdale. After about twenty minutes of her repeating Bush and Nazi I realized she was incapable of an original thought so I changed the station.

What bully chickenshit journalism, they can't wait til she's better, they gotta kick her when she's down.

[CornField]

1. Cool -- free publicity for Randi

[johnfunk]

60. Little Philly cop Tremoglie is jealous of Randi...

She's got influence, while he's probably stuck in a dead-end career track. Randi has balls -- and widdle Officer Tremoglie has penis envy!

[ET Awful]

2. LOL . . . sorry, but coming from an obscure POS site like

"intellectual conservative" (an oxymoron if ever I saw one), that spew doesn't mean much.

[KyndCulture]

4. It means Randi has "arrived" they even gave her a nickname! nt

[mhr]

8. Yes - But Is The Start Of The Witch Hunts

This type of personal attack is the reason that I support gun rights.

When the republican hordes, egged on by Rush Limbaugh, storm the gates, I plan on defending myself.

[Conservativesux]

49. Whats really scarey is that a gun-control fan like me agrees with you.....

I may just purchase a gun for the first time....just in case you are right.

I cant believe I just posted that. :-(

BushAmerika made me think about buying a gun :spank:

[Autobot77]

50. Good idea - make the repukes sorry they repealed the assault weapon ban

[LynnTheDem]

51. Intellectual Conservative = TRAITOR; says US LOSING WAR IN IRAQ

Too bad the moran doesn't read his own site;

US Losing the War on Terror in Iraq; The invasion of Iraq has increased, not decreased, the threat of terrorist attack

http://www.intellectualconservative.com/article2629.html

[johnfunk]

63. Drop a line to Taliban Tremoglie - let him know he posts to a TRAITOR site

His public e-mail address is at the bottom of his http://www.intellectualconservative.com/article4185.html">original post.

Oh, yeah - call him "Taliban" Tremoglie.

[johnfunk]

70. BUMP! "Taliban" Tremoglie, right wing un-American

[King Coal]

3. Oh, how intellectual that is. LOL!

[AValdoux]

5. A lot of courage

Is it a coincedence this guy goes after her when she's off the air recovering from surgery? What a jerk. How can they slam someone for hate speech and not mention Limbaugh, Savage, or Coulter.

AValdoux

[tsuki]

53. And look at the sources he uses. mAnn Coulter. n/t

[ewagner]

6. Good!

If they fear her enough to attack her, she must be getting to them....

Randi, we love you!

Keep going. Keep doin' what ya do!!!!

[MarianJack]

7. Sometimes...

...a mark of how good a job you're doing is the list of people you piss off!

BTW, "intellectual conservative" and the citing of an ann coulter article sounds like an oxymoron. As far as oxymorons go, isn't it amazing how some jokes just seem to write themselves?

[librechik]

9. don't we have enough trouble with our own side attacking Randi ?

post less of this chickenshit journalism pls.

Welcome to DU!

[gratuitous]

10. Randi Rhodes isn't her real name?!

Golly, just wait until Jeff Christie and Mike Weiner get a hold of that tidbit!

[skypilot]

14. Don't forget "Jeff Gannon"

*

[benburch]

11. Let's use Ann Coulter's discussion techniques with this guy!

[kevinmc]

12. Their All a bunch of wimps.........

Randi whips the crap out of all these cowards, knowing she's not on the air is the only time they have the nerve. She'll be back soon.

[KyndCulture]

15. With a ton of material. This is the 4th one of these in a week. nt.

[stevedeshazer]

13. Every refutation of Randi comes from another right-wing site

What a tough guy. He should call her when she gets back on-air instead of being a keyboard pecker.

[soup]

20. 'keyboard pecker'

Your phrase 'keyboard pecker' sends me into fits of giggles.

Love it. Thank you.

'keyboard pecker' LOL, there I go again...

[Old and In the Way]

35. I think you just coined a new phrase for us!

Keyboard Peckers - a mean spirited, truth-avoiding, cereal-eating, mouth- breathing, basement-living, faux patriot who shuns critical thing because it gives him/her headaches. Due to genetic defects, the Pecker is unable to remember the locations of the keys. Thus, his creative postings are time constrained to 2 or 3 sentences of incoherent misspellings.

:-)

[stevedeshazer]

37. Works for me!

I didn't coin it, I've seen or heard it elsewhere. But it's an apt description of this putrid example of Gannonism (phony journalism).

:hi:

[BrklynLiberal]

39. You forgot slack-jawed, dimwitted

[tsuki]

54. Maybe he did. I have listened to her take people like him apart.

[oasis]

16. Bush=nazi, not okay ...........Randi=Tokyo Rose, okay.

I get it now. :eyes:

[Ivote]

23. Just goes to show you how they support The Troops

At least Randi was in the service while those idiots cower under their beds

Go Randi Shake your boobies
And as far as that excuse for a woman is concerned, she is so jealous that all she has is a pin prick where her mammaries belong A.C. fits her just right Alternate Current

[leftynyc]

55. I was thinking the same thing

they only support troops with an R behind their name. Also noticed they are attacking while she recovers from surgery. Buncha cowards.

[skypilot]

17. Looks like a young Cal Thomas...

...in the making.


I love how some conservatives take it upon themselves to try to criticize something that they admit they don't listen to, watch, or read. He admits that the first time he heard Randi he listened for only 20 minutes and then changed the station. Now, as some of you have pointed out, he's decided to have a go at her while she's off the air. Asshole. Wimp. Wimpy asshole.

[KyndCulture]

18. He is a former Philly cop, wonder why he's not anymore.. hm nt

[skypilot]

21. And he's working on his first novel.

I smell Pulitzer.

[DinahMoeHum]

19. Ugh! Looks like he's one wing short of a fairy.

:evilfrown:

[DenverDem]

22. No, he's a full blown fairy, obviously.

Undoubtably closeted, however.

[skypilot]

24. OK, can we stop it with this "fairy" business.

Please.

[DenverDem]

27. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

Unless you are a self loathing, gay bashing, overcompensating fascist asshole.

That's the point I was trying to make.

[skypilot]

29. It's not the point you were making that I take offense with.

First of all, we have no idea what this guy's sexual orientation is. That was never an issue on this thread. I know that lots of people here still have a touch of Gannon fever but that doesn't mean that everytime some right-wing idiot says or writes something that we don't like that we start to speculate that he must be gay. Second, if you want to "go there" (and I really don't see how we got there) then there's no reason to stoop to using a word like "fairy" when you are talking about someone who is (or who you think might be) gay.

[DenverDem]

44. Dude, look at his picture.

Gaydar is redlining.

[Touchdown]

56. Dude, Your gaydar is broken.

No self respecting gay man would be caught dead wearing a $120 JC Penney suit...in GREY of all boring, conservative colors!:evilgrin:

EDIT: ...and that hairpiece was obviously on the clearence rack.

[DenverDem]

68. A gay man in the closet is NOT self respecting.

The JC Penney suit is one of the most prevalent symptoms of OVERCOMPENSATION.

[ultraist]

45. OMG! Look at that seventies tie and jacket and his toupee!

LMAO! He looks like a Fundie church goer.

[Catchawave]

25. Intellectual Conservative is an "Oxymoran" =nt

[RobertSeattle]

28. No kidding

For an "intellectual" this person sures use a great deal of name calling, innuendo, distortion, straw men arguments, etc in attempt to make a point.

[Junkdrawer]

26. First they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win -- Ghandi

Looks like that Iraqi War thingy is becoming a tad unpopular....

[nostamj]

30. "she broadcasts from Florida" ???

didn't anyone tell him she broadcasts from NYC?

or, didn't anyone tell ME she went back to FL?

:shrug:

[skypilot]

31. She's broadcasting from NY now.

This guy doesn't know shit. Typical.

[grumpy old fart]

34. "intellectual conservative"? The article was about as simple minded......

as the Chimp himself. The writing stinks and the lack of depth and understanding is shocking. Looks like someone's got a tiny guckert there.....

[skypilot]

33. Dupe

Delete

[Johonny]

32. I realized she was incapable of an original thought

From a person that repeats stuff heard from Ann Coulter.


Michael P. Tremoglie = incapable of an original thought

[UdoKier]

36. Well, if "Michael P. Tremoglie" says it...

Then it must be true! I mean, when "Michael P. Tremoglie" talks, people listen!

By the way, the "unoriginal Randi" (top rated talk show in W. Palm Beach market) broadcasts from New York for the last year, not Florida. And as a veteran, I think she cares a HELLUVA lot more about the troops than a chickenhawk like "Michael P. Tremoglie".

[BrklynLiberal]

38. Sam Seder let him and MAnn Coulter have it at the beginning of

the show today. Sam is subbing for Randi today and he blasted them with both barrels. Exposed them for the rotting, smelly corpses that they are.

[OneMoreDemocrat]

40. Did anyone notice this sentence?..........

"There is a report that she once advocated the assassination of President Bush during her broadcast."


Pretty dangerous thing for this fool to say if you ask me.

[LynnTheDem]

52. Which republican senator called for the assassination of Clinton?

"Just get rid of him"

[DemoTex]

59. Was it Jesse Helms?

At 83, Jesse Helms' biggest fear is still Bill Clinton.

http://www.crosswalk.com/news/1310744.html

[LynnTheDem]

69. Can't remember but it went summat like "Impeach him, kill him, just get

rid of him"...

[Kber]

67. "There is a report"??"!!

is that like "Some people say"?

Don't you think that if it was on air that it could be, oh, I don't know, documented and proven.

The man's a hack!

[Stop_the_War]

41. We are in fascism...hold on to your hats

Now that the fascists are elected, we will be seeing much more crazy propaganda like this.

[DearAbby]

42. lol attack....they are now officially past the laughing at you phase...now

it's attack stage, then we win!


:hi:

[Dave Reynolds]

43. But, but, but, (sputter)

isn't that FRENCH??!!??

"Actually, Randi Rhodes is a nome de microphone."

(FReeper indignation mode OFF)

[BikeWriter]

46. Bush and Nazi works for me.

[porphyrian]

47. Yeah, she's a traitor.

She actually served. How many years did Michael P. Tremoglie serve, and what the fuck kind of name is that, anyway? Oh well, they get to hear it from her later.

[tom_paine]

66. Tremoglie served for YEARS eating dougnuts and taking bribes

just like a Good Bushevik would in Philly.

Tremoglie was a standout of corruption among a pretty corrupt police force.

[Cleita]

48. She doesn't broadcast from Florida. She broadcasts from

NYC. She once broadcast from Palm Beach, Florida before she became involved with Air America. Damn if the idiot who wrote this ever listened to one of her shows he would know that! I'm an old woman from California who never heard one of her Florida broadcasts because they were local and I know that!

[kilgore65]

57. the author of the piece is a former cop

...and the 'intellectual' level of the piece is exactly what one should expect from one...

[Coventina]

58. Why do conservatives hate veterans so much?

:shrug:

[DemoTex]

61. Randi was voted ‘Most Outstanding Woman’ in the US Air Force in 1979

Tremoglie is picking on the wrong person, here. Randi will hand him his ignorant ass. Mark my word.

[Toucano]

64. Good fact! Thanks. n/t

[giant_robot]

62. So they're attacking while she's off the air recuperating from surgery?

Typical right-wing chickenshit tactics.

[nini]

65. She must be waking some people up if they're after here

Randi won't back down.. bring it on!

This will be fun!
