Conservative Talk Show Host Laura Ingraham Is Officially On The Packers Nation Hit List
by 100%InjuryRate 100%InjuryRate | >7 days ago49 Comment Comments »

Conservative Talk Show Host Laura Ingraham Is Officially On The Packers Nation Hit List Photo In the 2004 election, Wisconsin was barely won by John Kerry. He won the state by little more than 100,000 votes. It easily could have gone either way.

Well, I hope McCain isn't planning on Wisconsin being a key state in the 2008 election, because he's already lost it.

Last Friday, conservative dumbass talk-radio host Laura Ingraham lit into Favre for crying after his retirement press conference. I'm not sure what the hell she was thinking, but she was vicious in a completely mean-spirited way. A lot of people missed what she said, but it's now leaking out. Here are some of the choice quotes.

"All these years, and I didn't know there was a woman quarterback in the NFL."

"Brett Favre...we're watching this in the studio, obviously retiring from the NFL, great quarterback, handsome 38-year-old man, he gets up there and he does this press conference that was frankly one of the most embarrassing things I have ever seen."

"That's a great message for young boys. 'Get up there and act like a girl and start blubbering like a baby."

Then, in her best impersonation of a crying toddler with its favorite toy taken away, she wah-wah-wah's while uttering in a mocking tone, "It's about me, it was never about me, but it is about me, bla, bla, bla" before returning to her regular voice and stating, "I could not believe what I was seeing."

All class, baby. I believe the bounty on her head is currently set at $20,000.

Now look, I'm not big into crying either, but Ingraham's words are totally uncalled for. Favre has basically been playing football since the time he was born and it's been a game he has dedicated his life to. It's more than understandable that he'd be a little bent out of shape over retiring. Besides, I think Favre's crying showed how much passion he has for the game, and that's nothing to make fun of.

Even more impressive may be that lots of people cried when Favre retired.

Something tells me no one's going to cry when Ingraham gets whacked by a Packers fan ends her career.

Apparently Laura hasn't watched a Bears game in her entire life.

+4 thumbs upThis woman obviously doesn't follow sports, or have any idea what it means to have passion for anything. I don't think I've seen any athlete worth his salt - and especially someone who's been living his dream as long as Favre - keep complete composure during a retirement announcement or ceremony. I'm not a Packers fan, and I want to b#&!$-slap her.

Not to go all political here, but Wisconsin will probably be irrelevant seeing how things don't look too favorable to a McCain victory in Ohio and Michigan.  That and I believe in 2004 Kerry mispronounced Lambeau Field... or maybe it was Favre.  Either way, not a smart move in Wisconsin.

I am with you on this. This looks like the work of the other #6 Bubby Brister.

 

Side note - Is it me or does Jay look baked most of the time? Seriously someone has to to tell Jay to get a hair cut and maybe some product for that dome.

 +3 thumbs upAlthough I know that men are supposed to hold back tears and hide emotions, we men have both of these, and should show our emotions and tears. Laura Ingraham should just stick to her field of commentary, and that is politics. She would probably do best to stay away from sports. Farve most likely came under fire from Ingraham because of his activities for human causes which just might settle too well with her. Who knows? Ingraham is not the most compassionate person from whom I've heard from lately. I'll just say this about her: She is a "right wing bomb thrower".

Sounds like this Laura needs to have a rubber band stretched around her head, then snap her out of it.

About the only question, that remains, is did she kee her foot, lodged in her mouth the whole time, or did she switch repeatedly?

Just to help you out a little bit here, John McCain is actual a target of Laura Ingraham's attacks. McCain is actual a liberal Republican who switched parties prior to the 2000 elections in hopes that he could win over moderate Republicans and have a clear chance for the White House. McCain still has a chance to make the Badger State a Red State for the November Election.

+3 thumbs upMcCain may have a chance, but ultimately I think (assuming he's going up against Obama) that he'll get blown out, so to speak.  The two biggest issues this year will be the war and economy, and quite frankly right now McCain's stances on those are far too similar to Bush's for him to be able to win the election.

Well, apparently somebody takes my political opinion a little too seriously.

 

I don't think McCain would have a shot with Obama.  I think he (Obama) would take away most of McCain's independent voters, which is his strength.  I think McCain's best shot is against Hillary, because she's the one person who can tryly unite the Republican party.  I do think think that Hillary would defeat McCain too though.  McCain is a Republican, which will hurt him right off the bat just due to party affliation right now.  His position on the war is not going to be popular at all, and he openly admits he knows nothing about the economy in a time where we're about to (or possibly already have) entered a recession.  Anyway...

 

Edit to add:  According to RealClearPolitics, in a general electon Obama is up on McCain by 5.2%, but Clinton only has 1.7% on him.  Interestingly in Pennslyvania, Obama would beat McCain by 2% but McCain would beat Hillary by .3% even though right now Penn Dems favor Hillary quite heavily (13.2%).
