Laura Ingraham makes a fool out of Senator Bob Graham on Larry King Live (read the transcript)
CNN Larry King Live ^ | 10/30/04

Posted on 10/29/2004 9:55:56 PM PDT by Cableguy

INGRAHAM: I just -- every time I hear someone in a position of power say that the war on terror has been abandoned when we have three quarters of the al Qaeda leadership in our custody, when our men and women in battle have done such an enormously great job all around the world, not just in Afghanistan, not just in Iraq, but our special forces operating in every country from The Philippines to Indonesia, all over this are globe. I think it's an insult to the troops, and I don't think Senator Graham really means it.

B. GRAHAM: It's not an insult to the troops.

INGRAHAM: Talk to the troops. They're insulted by that.

B. GRAHAM: Laura, you can have a reasonable disagreement with the commander-in-chief and the decisions that he's making as to how to wage the war...

INGRAHAM: Absolutely.

B. GRAHAM: Without denigrating the bravery and courage of the men and women who are actually fighting the war.

INGRAHAM: Right. But Senator Graham, if you let me finish my point that I was trying to make is that when you say that we've abandoned the war on terror, that just is so factually inaccurate. I don't understand, as a senator of the United States, how do you possibly say that? We have three quarters of al Qaeda in custody. How is that abandoning the war in terror? And let me also finish. Saddam Hussein was funding to the tune of $25,000 a family who was supporting suicide bombers going into Israel. We know that, and you know that. And Zarqawi is there today operating freely because he was given safe havens for some time in Iraq. You know that, and I know that. That's not abandoning the war on terror.

Greta is obsessed with the Scott Peterson case. Everytime some other news crowds Peterson out, I keep thinking she will say something like, "Let see what Garragos has to say about the new Bin Laden video".

"Laura is incredible and extremely articulate. I'm a fan of both her and Ann Coulter..."

I get confused between Laura and Ann. I think there should be a rule here that says you should include a picture when you mention either of them.

Maybe you should save your pity for the lives his socialist doctrine has ruined, save your pity for what socialism has done to this nation.

What's Really Funny is that King's show is called "Larry King Live". If you have noticed the ratings lately, the show should be renamed "LARRY KING DEAD!"

Sean Hannity REALLY cleans King's clock every night!

I'm almost to the point of saying that Laura is my favorite on talk radio. She doesn't take herself too seriously, tries really hard to engage in real debate with the opposition and really seems to hit all the headlines that are current on FR. Her sound clips are funny and effective. I think she works as hard as Rush or anyone in the business.

In a way, she is our secret weapon. She really isn't seen as a radical by the left. She avoids cheap shots but always makes her point.

She's a treasure in the spirit of Barbara Olsen.

Laura should have also included the oil for food scandal in her rebuttals.

All kidding aside for a few minutes...BIN LADEN MUST DIE!

John French Kerry has the plan. Arrest him and put him on trial, per below.

Kerry doesn't want to subject him to a war crimes trial as the U.S. and allies did with the German and Japanese war criminals after WWII. We could try him as a war criminal in a military tribunal-like trial with military judges, limitations on access to classified materials, reduced chances of defendant turning the trial into a circus, and lower standards of proof.

Instead, Kerry wants a series of regular criminal trials, each of which would be a hundred-times more circus-like than the OJ trial. Maybe OBL would get a death penalty and he might just be executed after 10 to 15 years if he hadn't died already.

Another Kerry flip-flop. Today he says we will destroy the terrorists, but doesn't talk of trials. Q: "Yeah, Senator, but if you become President, will you read them their Miranda rights before you unload your spitballs on them?"

The Kerry plan to try Bin Laden is below.

NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) - John Kerry said Friday he would put Osama bin Laden on trial in U.S. courts rather than an international tribunal to ensure the "fastest, surest route" to a murder conviction if the terrorist mastermind is captured while he is president.

"I want him tried for murder in New York City, and in Virginia and in Pennsylvania," where planes hijacked by al-Qaida operatives crashed Sept. 11, 2001, Kerry said in his first interview as the Democratic presidential nominee.

Well .. I'll trash Cronkite .. it was Cronkite that told the world that America had LOST THE TET OFFENSIVE - when we had actually won it. It was because of that broadcast that the ENEMY gathered themselves together and continued to challenge our military. THE ENEMY WAS READY TO GIVE UP.

Cronkite's statements and Kerry's VVAW are responsible for 48,000 more deaths in Vietnam. How's that for TRASHING!!

I really miss Barbara Olson. I have been thinking about her lately due to the election and all. She is sorely missed. RIP Barbara!

It's no different than when the doddering Brokaw did the same thing to Kerry the other night.

When Brokaw said something to him about how his and the President's military aptitude tests had been compared, and the President was shown to be more intelligent than Kerry.

Kerry replied to the tune: Well, I don't know how they did that, since my records are not public.

UH, gee, John, I thought they were...that's what Brokejaw should have replied, but he failed his journalistic duty of course.

Yes, Kerry made a huge mistake choosing Edwards. Hasn't anyone noticed he is not running for re-election? Why? Because he would have LOST. NC hates his voting record.
If Kerry was thinking a southerner would help him...he picked the wrong dude.

I get confused between Laura and Ann.

I met Laura briefly once in Nov 2000 during the "Get out of Cheney's house" protests against Algore's attempt to hand enough chads to steal the election.

Laura was walking her dog through the crowd looking for someone. I asking who she was looking for, but I couldn't help as I didn't know the person.

I extended my hand as I told her my name, while thinking of a very inappropriate remark someone made to Ann Coulter during a booksigning.

Before she said her name, I nervously blurted out, "I know you. You're Ann Coulter." She laughed and said "No, I'm Laura Ingraham, the other blond conservative pundit."

Brilliant former law clerk for another hero of mine, Justice Clarence Thomas, Laura is nice, funny, witty, charming, talented (great radio show) and nice on the eyes. A rare combination of great brains and beauty.

Thanks for being part of the armed forces that kicked their asses. Some of us noticed, despite Walter.

watching the re-run of Larry King now.
Walter Cronkite can barely talk! Proof positive that the
old duffer is suffering from Alzheimer's .
Why run the ancient liberal coot out there for such
shameless blather ?
