2. Her schtick is becoming schlock. She's tossed in the corner with Coulter and she doesn't like it.
Too bad!

3. Funny how it's always "I was just joking" when republics are called on their insults.
But when they're insulted, even just in their own minds ("lipstick on a pig") that's a different story, you betcha.

HYPOCRISY; it's what republicans are.

4. Actually telling a person to lighten up after a personal attack instead of debating is offensive.
So shut up and hawk your books elsewhere.

I just want someone to start in on these RW pudits for once and tell them to sell their books else where. I'm sure they'll initually whine about "having something to say." to which the easy reply is: You've ALREADY SAID IT 50 TIMES! It's the same thing over and fucking over. Stick a fork in it."

Stop trying to cram your foot any further up your mouth than it already is, you'll throw your back out.

8. Laura, honey . . .
. . . even Elizabeth Hasselbeck took offense at your remarks about Ms. McCain. For once, it's not OK just because you're a Republican.

10. Of course Liz did.
She knows who to side with when the freaks start attacking each other.

Now if it was one of us versus one of them? That one is about as partisan as it comes.

11. As far as right wing Republicans are concerned
. . . it is "us" vs. "them". Meghan is one of "us" (a liberal), at least as far as they're concerned.

The Rushbots and Coultergeists just don't get this big tent idea at all, but then we've got some DUers like that.

And they're wondering why they're losing elections.

12. Funny thing is she's not that liberal.
Edited on Tue Mar-17-09 12:48 PM by YOY
She's just trying to bring them back from the "ultra far lose elections using formulated failure right". Someone within their ranks has to tell them to stop beating the dead Reaganite horse...Don't get me wrong. I'm cheering for her. I want them to stop being apeshit scary. I wouldn't mind the aspect of in 20 years of so actually being a swing voter because they are no longer the party of "Reagan"/"Bush" and more in line with a proper contemporary "right-wing" instead of the extreme. I just don't ever see that happening...

and yes we do have some DUers like that...but it seems that if the population were a bit better informed we wouldn't need to have such a large tent as the sane flock to us and away from them.

14. You know she's not a liberal and I know she's not a liberal
It's Laura Ingraham and people like her who don't know it.

Yes, America needs a less loony GOP. Meghan is a sober conservative. That is where the GOP needs to go.

Where we don't want them is rejecting the idea of reaching out to voters in favor of jailing registered Democrats on trumped up charges and then letting Diebold count the votes.

13. What?
Like 'lighten up' as in loose a few pounds? You disgraceful hag. She can lose weight but you'll still be ugly. What is with the horse face-jaw look? Get a thicker skin if you don't like it.
