Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham, one of the high-profile certified non-moderates urging the GOP to support John Boehner's debt ceiling bill, leveled criticism at Sarah Palin during today's show for raising the prospect of 2012 primary challenges to House Republicans.

This sure won’t help her book sales. Glad I didn’t buy it.

Ingraham doesn’t like anyone apparently. She hated G.W. Bush. She now is pushing back against Palin and the House holdouts.

Remind me again where she lives? It seems like we have just another so called conservative who is worried about whose dinner party in DC she will or will not be invited to. I really think when you learn some conservative you admire is moving to DC, you should give up on them. If Steyn or Coulter or even the moderately conservative Limbaugh were to move there, I am not sure they would hold up.

Draft the ideal plan..or the closest thing you can to it...pass it in the house with GOP support only. Send it to the Senate where it dies.

Been there, done that with the Cut Cap and Balance bill.

If they can't pass that in the Senate and get Obama to sign it, I say don't raise the debt limit and force them to make the necessary cuts.

I think both sides needs to take a deep breath. I’m sick of tea partiers being trashed by the establishment, but I also don’t agree that good conservatives like Allen West are suddenly RINOs we need to primary.

Laura’s comments are disturbing. It is OK for the establishment republicans to threaten the freshmen, but not ok for the tea party to remind the freshmen who sent them there in the first place.

" Can I have the whole list of sellouts? I need the list so I can make sure I understand who's going to get the primary challenge."

Laura admits that she (Laura) is putting words in Palin's mouth...........if she doesn't understand "who's going to get the primary challenge", then maybe she should check into it before she launches...........

P.S. I like actually like Laura.........

Allen West is part of the “career government-employee team”? Huh?

Err..No, Laura was horrible this morning and I listen to her all the time. She threw everyone she could under the bus. Go check out her Facebook wall. She really stepped in it.

Boys, settle down.

Laura is right.

Krauthammer is right.

Don’t let the Dems pin the up-coming chaos on us. It’s too late for that. Make those assholes (Obama and Corpse) take the blame for the mess they’ve created. Don’t give them a chance to pin the blame on Republicans.

West is no RINO, and is a stand up guy, but I am disappointed in his vote.

Listened to her as well.

What gets me is this one line Ingraham took from Palin’s post, out of context. Then, she spins the one line into an attack against Palin and the Tea Party. I'm not even certain Ingraham actually read the post. After her interview with Lt. Col West, she had that interview posted within minutes. That makes it quite clear what her intent was.

I've reread Palin’s entire post. One could easily interpret Palin saying that the Republican Party leadership would threaten the Freshmen with a primary contender should they not play ball.

One thing for sure. In a battle most of us take quite seriously, I have to view Ingraham as an opponent.

Has Sarah Palin come out and said Don’t raise the debt ceiling’? Has she said if she was in the House she wouldn’t vote for Boehner 3.0? I’d love to know her official position. Last time she was on Hannity all I got was don’t retreat, reload. But I don’t know what the heck that means.

I have had about enough of Ingraham too. Lindsey Graham's old girlfriend.

Girlfriend? That's not the way I heard it, she dated him a couple times. That's it.

I have read some of the comments and all tell me that they don’t know much about Laura. She is a conservative all the way. They just don’t listen regularly to her program. I do.

First, I’m not a he, I’m a she, and right now I support Michele Bachmann. I know for many on FR that’s a crime.

Larua is a know-it-all. I haven’t listened to her radio show in years. I knew I wasn’t missing much. Good bye again Larua.

There are times when Freepers are too busy finding fault with conservatives with whom they don't agree 100%, that what liberals are doing is ignored.

You never see Dems eating their own.
