Extreme Left-Wing Reaction to Ingraham's Fox News Premiere

Laura Ingraham's not my favorite conservative commentator, primarily because I'm tired of her McCain bashing. I do appreciate her clarity on the moral issues facing the country, as well as her commentary on the hopeless nihilism of the contemporary left.

So it's with some interest that I'm observing the reaction to her upcoming debut on Fox News, which coincides with the cancellation of her talk radio broadcast.

Captain Ed's got the story:

Laura Ingraham has apparently run into a contract dispute with her syndicator and has been off the air for most of the last two weeks. It seems like a bad time for the Right to lose one of its strong and entertaining national voices. The Republicans and conservatives look like they’re in for a bad time already in Congressional races, and the effort to inform people about the presidential race and its issues needs to be in full gear now.

Laura will have a new show on Fox News Channel at 5 pm ET starting on Monday called “Just In”. According to this video message, she doesn’t plan on that being a replacement for her daily radio show, but it will at least give her a platform until the issues get resolved. Her site has more details, including the local stations on which she appears and the means to communicate your desire to get this dispute resolved and put her back on the air.

I usually watch O'Reilly Factor at 5:00pm PST, so I imagine I'll be tuning-in to see Laura's new show.

Ingraham said earlier on Fox that her contract dispute was not "health related," a statement that elicited a nasty reaction at Think Progress, in the comments:

*** “It’s not health-related. It’s not family related.” It’s because she is a caustic, pathological hate-filled GOP shill with nothing to offer America but more GOP failure.

*** Reich-wingers are becoming increasing unpopular and are being rejected by America. The reich-wingers will continue to flock to Drugbaugh and Faux for their GOPig talking points. But, the rest of America will just laugh and point at the reich-wing imbeciles who are afraid of facts and reality ... The reich-wing GOPigs are going to be a permanent minority. Amen.

*** Now why would her radio bosses force her off the air?

*** The “business deals”, as O’Racist calls it, of the GOPigs are hate, vileness, lies, deception, racism, and anti-Americanism.

*** She has a good show. I’m sure she will be back.

*** VA Voter Says:

"She has a good show. I’m sure she will be back."

You’re probably correct; much like cancer, she’s difficult to eliminate entirely.

*** Laura Bush & Laura Ingraham;

C*NTS!

I guess it's not just BarackObama.com that should ratchet-up the comment moderation.

(Check the post, though, as a debate breaks out on the board over the intolerance there.)

Here's TRex's attack:

Oh, you know. I don’t think she’ll last. They’ve been dropping like flies over there and Ingraham is so inherently offensive that I expect it’ll take about four weeks, tops, before she wedges one of her size 11 hoofs so far into her mouth that Pox has no choice but to consign her to the same slag heap as John Gibson, E.D. Hill, Melanie Morgan, and all the other humiliated and discredited shills.

It's an empirical question of comparative analysis, of course, but I firmly believe that many of those on the left are more commonly deficient in the qualities of basic human decency than those of generally conservative persuasions.
