Comments on: Laura Ingraham: Right-Wing Radio’s High Priestess of Hate http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2008/06/09/laura-ingraham-right-wing-radios-high-priestess-of-hate/ Rory O'Connor's blog Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:52:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Centurion http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2008/06/09/laura-ingraham-right-wing-radios-high-priestess-of-hate/#comment-71732 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 21:36:11 +0000 http://www.roryoconnor.org/blog/2008/06/09/laura-ingraham-right-wing-radios-high-priestess-of-hate/#comment-71732 Jill, I have listened to Laura Ingraham on several occasions. Her message is like all the other far right extreme conservatives radio-TV talking heads, in that they do nothing but complain and denigrate all those who disagree with them. They are an intolerant bunch and I see them as being part of the problem that has turned many of our country into having an us-vs.-them mentality. Ingraham and all the other far right radio-TV talking heads want nothing more than for our people of our great country to be polarized, afraid to find common ground and unity. They wallow in the stirring the pot of hatred, contempt and fear. They don't want John McCain and Sarah Palin to win in November; they secretly cheer for Obama and Biden to win, as that will only give them so much more to complain about. Before Ingraham, did you ever listen to Rush Limbaugh in the days before Bill Clinton ran for president? Limbaugh was running Clinton down on a daily basis for well over a year. And every day that Clinton was president, mighty mealy mouth Limbaugh's talk show was almost all about running Clinton down. Never a good or kind word. And then, when Bush stole the election in 2000 (and he did), Limbaugh said the liberals couldn't say anything bad about Bush as conservatives had to deal wuth Clinton for eight years. Well, I guess ol' motormouth drug dependent hypocrite (who said people on drugs should all be in prison, no compassion for them but his case was different) must've forgot his daily talk show was nothing but a long running diatribe against Bill and Hillary Clinton. The Bush presidency has wrecked our economy with his war in Iraq. How funny that one of the complaints I hear from the far right is the harping of Washington spending billions of the taxpayers' dollars on pork, yet the Iraq war is the biggest pork project of all, $10 billion per month, $120 billion per year and nothing from those same far right conservatives but the sound of cheers. That $120 billion per year could go elsewhere, such as hunting down Usama bin Laden in Afghanistan (or wherever the hell he is hiding out) and nailing his sorry hide to the wall. It could also go a long way to establishing a national health care system for those of us who have no health insurance but are in need of health care. When Bush and Cheney leave office in January, we will have had eight years of their long trainwreck to deal with. And good luck to whoever wins in November as they will be the one left to clean up that mess. You really want someone who promises you more of the same failed policies of Bush? Someone who won't clean up the mess but only add to it? Of course, Obama might do the same. I supported Hillary for president as I believed she was the right person for the job. I don't always agree with her views (surprised?) but I felt that if she won and didn't know what to do about a certain issue, she at least had Bill to rely on for advice. And say what you will about Bill, but he was a great president. And you will or the far right conservative talking heads will, because for every problem that Bush caused, it wasn't his fault but Bill Clinton's fault. Bush was and has never been held accountable for his actions or of those working for him. That's the hypcrisy of many conservatives on the far right as during the Republicants attempt to impeach Clinton over the issue of whether or not he lied about having sex with that woman, those same far right conservative voices said they'd never stand for one of their own lying. And how many of them have stood for Bush's constant lies on the reasons for the war in Iraq, the outing of a CIA agent because they didn't like her husband's book criticizing them? Bush's presidency has been one lie after another and where are these stalwart far right conservatives calling for his impeachment in the congress or the senate? Nowhere to be found. Buth, Ingraham, O'Reilly, Hannity, Savage, Limbaugh and all the other right wing mealy chattermouths are nothing but Bush's cheerleaders and attorneys for the defeat of Obama in November. Listen to what they say, Jill, but don't accept them at their word. Check out what they say as with the internet, youtube, myspace and what have you, the things they will claim about Obama should be easy to look up and verify. I don't like Obama but I like McCain far less. Just to give you a clue, yes I'm liberal and proud of it, but all my former girlfriends have been conservative Republicans. My last girlfriend was from Arizona, on the very far right end of the conservative scale, from a very religious family. But, she didn't like McCain at all, saying he couldn't be trusted. That, to me, was saying something about a far rightee that I would never have believed. You want McCain and Palin? Vote at your own peril - and ours!

You know, get in touch with the real world as you spend way too much time blogging. Laura Ingram delivers a concise, articulate, conservative perspective. What is wrong with civil discourse? Agree or disagree on the substance but avoid the personal attacks as they add nothing to the debate. By the way, have you looked into Biden's history? I am just beginning to research him. By his own admission he is a liar. Kind of stupid choice for a candidate that is interested in "Changing the way we do business in Washington" wouldn't you think? Centurion,

As soon as she stops hating the world she might have something to say, but she has many years of deep introspection ahead of her, or a horrific accident untill she might achieve some empathy. Im not holding my breath. Ive only just discovered Ms Ingram and I found her to be very arrogant and abusive of her guests, simplistic in her thoughts, and had a very big chip on her shoulder.

Power to the People, yea right, she doesn't care what the people have to say, she doesn't shut up long enough to listen. I enjoy listenting to AM 560 in Chicago, especially John & Cisco, but as soon as her screechy, grating, voice starts polluting the airwaves, I changes the station.
