      Who listens to this airhead.? She was ignorant trash 25 years ago when she was singin' the praises of South African Apartheid and spewin' racist rubbish at the Dartmouth Review.

      Stirring up lynch mobs and spewin' psychotic gop-slop nonsense were her whole raision d'etre in 1984. She's gone longer without a hit than Culture Club and the Thompson Twins.

      Extreme conservatism will not win elections anymore, Laura.  We saw that when McCain brought Sarah Palin into the fold.

      A person with good ideas will win these elections.  McCain had no new ideas.  The Republican brand has no new ideas.  Hell, Coulter has no new ideas, and neither do you.

      Wow, the internal clip (Ms. McCain with Ms. Ingraham thrown in) sounded a lot like 80s era Valley Girls on their way to the Mall.

        Exactly. Fox always uses the whole "the radically radical far, far, far left is smearing" routine. And since when is calling Megan McCain a plus sized model and a Valley girl sticking up for the sisterhood?

        Yeah, just like it was the Democrats that forced Rush to say that he hoped Obama would fail.

      Yup. She is 100% right. This has NOTHING at all to do with the fact that she called Cindy fat or a useful idiot. See? It's the liberal media. Duh!

        The only thing worse than her victim mentality is watching daddy John choose to defend her over his very own daughter. More of them republican campaign family values...

      Right.. and people like you can smear all you want without a peep, and if criticized for the nasty things you say, it's always someone else's fault. face it. you're the  praty of peretual victimization and denial of personal respnsibility- re Harley's cancer wish for Laura above.. not one of you took that to task. most of you in your severe case of "disleftia" probaby dont' even take note of it. You people really put the capital H in Hypocirsy.

        Let's see if I've got this straight: Laura Ingraham... using a valley girl accent... calls Megan McCain a "plus-size model" for daring to criticize venom-spewing right wing ideologues, and then moments later denies calling her fat. She then defends her snideness as satire... though she is not by any stretch of the imagination a satirist. She then makes the eye-popping assertion that Republicans are losing elections left and right because THEY'RE TOO DAMNED MODERATE????

         

        And the lesson that you take out of this is that LIBERALS ARE HYPOCRITES? 

         

        I think that there's a place for you over at Glen Beck's Nine Twelve Project. It was designed a welcome and safe place for logic-impaired cons. Get along now... the doughboy's waiting for you.

          I am one of those 9 - 12er's and I am neither republican or democrat.  I believe in the constitution!! It is sad that most of you people never really learned about the constitution in school which is why you can't understand people like Glenn Beck or myself who love their country and have faith in the Lord.  We just want our country back.  As for the Ingrahm/McCain 'feud' I will agree Laura did not word things correctly - and took a cheap shot at Ms. McCain.  That having been said - what happened to forgiveness??  Why is there all this trash talking instead of simply saying she was wrong.  I guess that wouldn't make for interesting reading now would it - how sad!!

            I doubt if either you or Doughboy have the vaguest clue about the Constitution, as you immediately conflated it with your religious beliefs. I've visited that site, and found an impressive volume of chatter about overthrowing the federal government by people who are unable to accept the results of democracy. There was an overpowering stench of militia paranoia, and vows of payback against those that support President Obama. It is a site for people who found the John Birch Society to be far too moderate for their liking. It is a convergence of neoMcCarthyistic rage. It is what should naturally be expected from people who rally around a drooling, red-baiting moron like Beck.

             

            I urge you to view the material that has been accumulated at this site about the ravings, the distortions, the smears, the falsehoods, and the outright lies that Doughboy has committed with clocklike regularity since being handed a microphone. He is nothing more than a lowbrow confidence man who is committed to hoodwinking working people into opposing their own interests. He piously points his accusitory finger at those that are attempting to lead us out of the economic and political wilderness that Dubya' and his grifter, neocon legions had led us into, while there's still at least some spare change jingling in our pockets.

              Dear Friend,

              It would grieve those who fought for our freedom to see how many liberties we have lost because we strayed away from the constitution.  As far as Glenn Beck goes, he loves his country and wants the country we used to have.

              As for the current economic crisis, I do not believe that Obama, McCain, Bush etc. can lead us out of this crisis unless we as a nation return to the Lord.  This is not merely a recession or depression, this is a judgement from the Lord for our many offenses against His word. We have been warned, but yet we refuse to turn back to Him, so we have brought this problem on ourselves.

              I know that on this site this is not a popular opinion, but I wanted to make sure that it was said.  Have a great day!!

                Sad.

                 

                Clearly, you are not going to avail yourself of the opportunity to do a little research and learn who the Rancid Doughboy really is, even though you're already at a site that is overflowing with such information. Such willful ignorance is indeed disappointing, but apparently your need to believe is far greater than your desire to know. You'd rather be duped and misled by the weepy histrionics of this conniving charlatan than face the truth.

                As for your religious convictions... well, what can I say other than they are YOUR beliefs, and not mine. And, fortunately, out Constitution states that you CANNOT impose your beliefs on the rest of us, REGARDLESS of what YOU believe God's will to be. Our nation, when seen from the eyes of the reality-based community, is not being punished by God for straying from His path, but rather is suffering from the predictable effects of the lies, the manipulations, the distortions, and the outright looting that has been imposed upon us for the last eight years.

                It is the neocons, by the way, who have done their best to weaken the Constitution. They lied us into launching a war of aggression in order to secure Middle Eastern oil. They suspended Habeas Corpus. They wire tapped virtually THE ENTIRE U.S. POPULATION... WITHOUT ANY COURT ORDERS.

                There are myriad more examples of their contempt for the Constitution and the rights of the American people. THESE are the ones who actively seek to undermine the Constitution, not liberals! When you throw in with Doughboy and his phoney-ass organization, you're harming your own interests. He is exploiting your confusion in order to further the interests of a narrow band of privilidged economic elites.

                In other words, you are being thoroughly fleeced.

        Care to comment on the topic at hand?  Or are you going to rant on with the fruitless analogy based on a fantasy?  Who started this whole smearfest?  The Left or Cancer Gurl?   Cancer waiting to happen is the one that did the smearing...not the Left.   Fact.  And then she blamed the Left when M. McCain responded and defended Cancer's weight smear.  How is that the Left's fault?  

        Your pathetic little rant perfectly describes what is happen with Cancer gurl and her attempts to blame the Left.  You hate it because you and Cancer gurl and the radical right look stupid.
