Was Laura Ingraham always a crass bully or did she get that way by imitating the crass bully who faked his way into the White House? How does she justify this? She thinks all conservatives are victims. But how can they be? Republicans control the entire government!
Crush bullies like Laura Ingraham and Donald Trump who use positions of power, money and platform to bully ordinary citizens from disabled reporters to teens like David Hogg. They never pick on people their own size. The NRA/gun lobby Republicans have decided that rather than engaging the arguments gun violence survivors are making, they will try to discredit the messengers, often through blatant ad hominem attacks.
Laura Ingraham apologized after taunting Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg over college rejections. Now this “good Catholic Christian” should use Holy Week as a chance to confess then retire from public life. She’s a bully unfit to host a show using celebrity to pick on kids.
Of her breast cancer Laura Ingraham said “I decided it was time to look at my own life and my own choices and path and decide if I could do better.” As she attacks kid survivors of mass shootings Ingraham proves she learned neither grace nor kindness from her brush with mortality.

Dear Frank Schaeffer:
Ingraham/Trump-like bullies may use power and position to attack ‘ordinary citizens,’ but where have you spoken for teachers in WV, OK, AZ, KY or elsewhere? Where do you defend teachers confronted by bullying court injunctions threatening fines and/or imprisonment?
Do you point out the pure charlatanry of so-called ‘contracts’ that offer teachers derisory pay increases funded by further attacks on working people?
If for nothing else, you should read the World Socialist Web Site so that you could discover just what shape a progressive stand on anything actually takes.
As things stand, electing Democrats is a political dead end. Just ask teachers. They’re equally assailed by Democrat and GOP governors alike.
Abandoning teachers, health care, immigrants and decent wages, the Democrat Party has no ‘progressive’ side which serves the working class. Claims to the contrary necessarily display monumental hypocrisy.
Likewise, elections have no progressive content. They have no potential to shift the landscape to the left. They are a political attack on the working class.
It falls to the whole working class to organize rank-and-file committees in every school, hospital, mine, factory and community to take responsibility to direct the struggle for the working class against the whole Republicrat ‘for-profit’ system of extortion and injustice.
A blessed Easter!
It’s one thing to disagree with the Parkland teenagers about assault rifles, but the personal attacks on their character are beyond the pale. What would possess a 52 year-old-woman to attack a 17-year-old because he didn’t get into the colleges of his first choice? I heard David Hogg’s comments about his college rejection, and he wasn’t whining about it as LI claimed.
Laura, Rush, Tomi, Nugent all these characters are the real crisis actors they so frequently complain about. Unfortunately, these trolls are very clever at manipulating the average person on the street. I hope young folks vote in historical numbers in the next two election cycles. I’ll do my part to make this happen. Cheers.
