INGRAHAM GETS TREATED LIKE NORQUIST

Grover Norquist gets a lot of things wrong, in addition to being immoral, so I was glad that he was laughed at when he tried to pin the stock market decline on Pres. Obama. I think ridiculing the krazies is one of be best weapons against them and I was glad to see that War Whore Ingraham got the Norquist treatment on ABC's This Week¹ when she made these remarks:

LAURA INGRAHAM (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR)

I think a lot of people say if the administration had the same view of the way to treat other threats to the United States, whether economic threats or real threats, Islamic jihadists, and don't probably put Fox in that same category, then it would be okay. I mean they're so impassioned about Fox, meanwhile it's kind of like very even rhetoric about other threats.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS (ABC NEWS)

(Off-camera) You don't mean they're softer on Islamic jihadists than they are on Fox News. Come one.

LAURA INGRAHAM (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR)

Well I just think honestly the passion, the passion, when you send out a Emmanuel and Axelrod and the President comments on it. I haven't seen them talk about other real threats in the same coordinated and sophisticated way as they're going after Fox.

JOHN PODESTA(PRESIDENT

When the drones start flying over Fox News.


LAURA INGRAHAM (FOX NEWSCONTRIBUTOR)

I mean honestly.

CYNTHIA TUCKER (ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION)

It is interesting though to hear this Nixonian mean develop when just a couple of weeks ago, the President was being denounced as weak, not even as strong as the previous president.

AL HUNT (BLOOMBERG NEWS)

I'm old enough to remember enemies, listen that you were wiretapping people and you were pulling their tax returns and that's the kind of stuff that scares me.

The ridicule comes across better in the video clip (h/t Media Matters):
