[dc]R[\/dc]ightScoop calls out Ingraham<\/a> for her RINO ambush (audio cued up, ready to go, at that link) of Bachmann just before the debt ceiling disaster vote.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Not in the mood.<\/p><\/div>\n

If you think I’m wrong, I bet you back away from that after listening to Ingraham being just plain nasty to Bachmann. \u00a0The week before she went after Bachmann (so three weeks ago), she high-centered herself trying to drain support for Rep. West!<\/p>\n

Rangel is a turd, but I have come completely off the Laura wagon over her badgering of Michele Bachmann two weeks ago. \u00a0It may be fun to watch Rangel get beaten about the head and shoulders (it may be VERY fun), but this is just Ingraham’s motormouth abuse schtick.<\/p>\n

[pullquote]merely provocative, uninformative style of debate[\/pullquote]<\/p>\n

I very much do not appreciate prominent conservatives or “conservatives” who hand ammunition to people like Rangel by being as slippery as democrats in their speech. \u00a0How can we criticize Bill Maher for feeding the monkeys when our own discourse is no better? \u00a0With tactics like this, we lose the war while only gaining a draw in individual battles. \u00a0This puts me in a position of defending Froot Loops like Rangel when they get irritated with her merely provocative, uninformative style of debate. \u00a0Surely I’m not alone in this: \u00a0no doubt many of you grimaced and said “Let him answer the question!” \u00a0Ingraham is truly a good stand-in for pompous blowhard Bill “Ted Baxter” O’Reilly.<\/p>\n

Rangel was wrong on substance, but she practically threw him a lifeline with all her hectoring interruptions. \u00a0It’s a lot less amusing when you hear her do the same thing to Bachmann.<\/p>\n
