Cantor bashes Laura Ingraham
The Hill ^ | June 15, 2014 | Alexander Bolton

-snip-

Cantor was fairly placid during his appearance on ABC’s “This Week” and in an earlier interview with CNN’s “State of the Union,” but bristled when ABC correspondent asked him about Ingraham.

Cantor zeroed in on Ingraham’s charge that he was “two-faced” and a “phony” on the issue of immigration reform because he touted himself as an opponent of amnesty but also worked on legislation to grant legal status to young illegal immigrants.

Ingraham joked that Cantor should have been traded to the Taliban in exchange for American POW Bowe Bergdahl, who is accused of deserting his combat post in Afghanistan.

“That suggestion that I should have been traded to the Taliban for Sgt. Bergdahl really is not a serious contribution to any public policy debate and frankly I don’t think that it reflects on the people who self-identify as Tea Partiers,” he said on ABC.

“It’s just not serious and frankly it cheapens the debate,” he said.

What does his being Jewish have to do with anything? What an odd and disturbing comment!

Laura Ingraham for President!

Brilliant, insightful, and hot. The full package.

I’m not a fan of Laura only for reasons of personalities, so there is that. But, she appeared on FOX issuing with a tad too much bravado (again) some kind of warning to the Establishment implying of their immenent demise that I pray we can live up to.

Her habit of unnecessarily over poking an issue from her all too elevated level of certainty has been proven one time, and somehow she becomes a sage in her own eyes.

There are lots of reasons to appreciate Laura, but being mostly obnoxious is best left to Ann Coulter, who has perfected it. ,!

Very seldom listen to Ingraham these days, just happened I did hear her seemingly taking credit for the Brat win on her program.

But similar to Cantor, I can remember a time that Ingraham didn't sound pro-Tea Party.

Cantor is and always will be nothing more than an extension of a ‘coat tail’, nothing more; but coat tails can be tailored. Cut a little here, sew it up there, a completely new look.

Well, of course it is a joke, but that’s the point. Some of the best jokes really do reflect how we feel about these RINOs duplicity.

You can’t really blame him for being mad at her. She nailed him to the wall and accurately described him.

Establishment liars hate to be outed....unless of course we’re talking about homosexuality.

If it’s wrong to laugh at Cantor then I don’t want to be right.

Well, did Laura take too much credit? And what did Levin say? I’d suspect Levin should get some credit too.

Ooooooh. Such tough talk. I'll bet Laura Ingraham is quaking in her Uggs.

Go get 'em, tiger! Rowf!
