Laura Ingraham makes surprising concession on drones

[Napolitanic Wars]

in a Fox panel talking about the filibuster. The whole panel is good but Laura says something interesting around the 6:20 mark.

WALLACE: "Were you raising these same objections [about the war on terror and drones] when Bush was president?"

INGRAM: "Absolutely not, and I should have been. I should have been raising those questions."

"Absolutely not, and I should have been. I should have been raising those questions."

Ah, but that would've meant agreeing with Ron Paul.

She's been really positive towards Rand for ages now. She's also one of the few 'conservatives' who gave decent Ron Paul interviews (Cavuto is another).

She did on many things. The problem with her and hannity both, to some extent, was how badly they stabbed Ron in the back in 2008. He didn't trust them enough to explain unguardedly. With her, I think that was unfortunate, and I think there was a tiny window when Ron might have gotten a more thoughtful review from Hannity too - but then Hannity was all newsletters even though he knows very well the smear was a smear.

This goes way back to before Ron Paul was relevant.

Just shows you how much it changes things when you "trust" the person in power.

Take caution before "embracing" Laura. She's all over the map WRT issues most of us care about. Considering she's widely syndicated in the MSM, she could well be part of the regime's left/right paradigm. (IOW, a tool) From what I've heard from her, she, like other propagandists, mixes fact with opinion in such a way that would fool the uncritical observer.

After what the MSM did to Ron for 8 years, I'm finding it very hard to believe that "supporters" are buying into this bullshit on a daily basis. I never thought I'd see the day when people started posting Levin and Beck crap, yet here we are.

Can you believe she said this?

“— we do have a Constitution, guys!” Ingraham exclaimed. “I know the war drums are always beating over at The Wall Street Journal!”

“You guys want to be in a perpetual state of war! No, we’re at a perpetual state of war!”

WOW! Posted the video here: http://iroots.org/2013/03/11/laura-ingraham-takes-on-the-perpetual-drums-of-war/

Whether she's genuinely coming along or just joining the popular bandwagon, I'll take her nice words on the #5 radio spot. Talkers' Heavy Hundred 2013 comes out tomorrow btw!

I like Laura Ingraham, but probably only because she's hot.

 

[SilentBull]

The only question is when are the Rand Paul haters going to admit that they were wrong and that Rand's strategy is genius!

lolz...OMG, you evil misogynist!

The line from the party water carriers always changes as the letter behind the POTUS does.

 

[lib3rtarian]

I hadn't been listening to her before, but during the filibuster and after, she was great supporting Rand. And she said this on air - "the neoconservative view is really hurting the GOP". That's good. We need all the allies we can get - Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck...

Only reason I can stomach watching Megyn Kelly.

 

[supermario21]

Neil Cavuto: John McCain-from maverick to meathead, just thought it would fit here lol. even warns Rand not to get too cozy with the fair-weather-fan republicans.

Better make those cautious alliances. Those are the type of people who will gladly stab you in the back.

IIRC, wasn't there a "flower bomb" for her for her positive interview of Ron Paul a long time ago?
