LAURA INGRAHAM LIES ABOUT HER VISIT TO IRAQ!

by Bob Carson | April 17, 2008 at 08:09 am | 6228 views | 364 comments

Tonight on her nationally syndicated radio show, Conservative talk show host, Laura Ingraham spent much of her time bashing the Democrats for quote, "lying about Iraq."

Tonight's irony could not have been more priceless: Not even a half-hour after her comments about the Dems, Laura went on to say she had visited Iraq for "a little under two weeks." This statement, however, is proven false by her documentation of her trip on her website. Have a look below and see who the REAL LIAR is!!

Who cares about this? What kind of agenda-driven reporting is this?

Bob Carson

This was solid reporting on my part. Very few journalist lay the facts out the way I have.

Billw

Contributors, writers, and others search the AP for legitimate stories. You know, world events, political events and so on? Your "story" is better suited for a far-left blog.

Bob Carson

My story is 100% correct, and I stand by it. The question you raise about whether or not it belongs on this site is answered by the fact that it is still up.

Billw

Even though you are a loser, god bless you!

I'm glad we're reducing this to a 3rd grade level. You seem like a typical right-winger.

Politisite - though we stand on different sides of the aisle, politically speaking, I am with you here. We do not need flame wars here.

Bob Carson

I'll suppose you'll be the one defending John Gibson's comments?

Billw

What comments are you referring to?

I can tell your story is extremely biased by the link you provided. I'm not going to click on it.

Bob Carson

Great! Turn a blind eye to disgusting, bigoted  remarks. 

Billw

I noticed the stories you post here frequently bash Republicans. You seem to enjoy calling people racists or bigots. Well, let me tell you something: You, along with most Democrats, are willfully blind on this issue. It was the Republicans who abolished slavery. It was the Republican Party that supported school voucher programs, which allowed minority students the benefit of choosing what private and parochial schools to attend. These measures were widely opposed by the Democrats. It was the Republicans that nominated the first African American Supreme Court judge, Clarence Thomas.

Remember, too: The Democrats were the party of the Jim Crow laws. I could go on and on, but the point is clear.

Do some research!

Bob Carson

BillW, you haven't addressed any of the points I've made. The red herring you've posted does not represent the Republican party of today, and furthermore, does not address my articles.

Are you denying that Laura Ingraham lied about her visit to Iraq?

Are denying that she is a racist? ( Please let me know because I can provide ample evidence to prove my charge)

Are you comfortable with John Gibson's comments?

If you are going to continue to post on my article, please address them.


Billw

"Are you denying that Laura Ingraham lied about her visit to Iraq?"
Well, Bob, it seems that the only one making this claim is you. Are we supposed to go by what you "heard" her say on her show? The truth is, Bob, I could care less. Laura Ingraham strikes me as an honorable person- you may have a different opinion of her.
As far as her being a racist, did you know that she just adopted a minority child. Seems a far cry from something a racist would do?
Gibson's comments speak volumes . I'll give you that.

I knew I couldn't stand that lady.  I'd like to see her humiliated.

I recorded what she said on her show. In fact, Laura lied about her visit to Iraq as soon as she returned. She said she was there for 8 days, when her website said otherwise. She then goes on to say she was there "a little under two weeks" on her April 9th show. How did it go from 8 days, which was a lie to begin with, to two weeks? Look at the documentation I posted. She was in Iraq for 5 days, not including travel time.
I wasn't aware of her adoption, but that makes no difference. People like Ingraham feel insecure about being alone. Have you ever heard of the Concerned Alumni of Princeton? CAP was a conservative group designed to oppose the admission of women and minorities at Princeton. Guess who was a member of this group? You guessed it, Laura Ingraham.

Still don't believe she's a racist? Okay, Read a quote from her book: '' True Americans are white, southern, Christian and Republican. Some who call themselves Republicans are actually traitors, such as Senator Olympia Snowe. The 1925 Scope Monkey Trial was an insult to the South." (Power to the People, pg 35)
Do some research about the Scope Monkey Trial.
Convinced now? How about Laura saying, "I hope they nail down  the valuables" in reference to Al Sharpton's visit to the White House during Black History Month?  How about her tenure at the Dartmouth review, where she was the editor and interviews with KKK members were conducted, or articles like, " This Sho Aint No Jive Bro." Ask Ingraham about the pictures of hanged African Americans in the review.
I could go on and on here. Do yourself a favor: Just accept that there is ample evidence to support my claim and stop posting. I'm getting tired of proving you wrong.

Bob Carson

I'll take your silence as a sign of submission.

Billw

The Scopes Monkey Trial has nothing to do with racism. It was about a teacher wanting to teach the Theory of Evolution against the will of the district. The court initially ruled with the state, however, I believe the supreme court sided with the defendant's appeal.

Bob Carson

I was aware of that. I mentioned that to illustrate her cult-like beliefs. Only someone with extreme views would go as far to say it was a disgrace to the entire South.

How about the other points I brought up? Nothing you can say to refute that, right?

Billw

Bob,

I hate to break it to you, but most people feel the same about the teaching of evolution. This country was founded on a Christian belief system- we are a Christian Nation. There is nothing extreme in her views at all.

The other points you've brought up have very little merit to them. I'm sure Laura regrets the Al Sharpton comments. I was listening to her show recently and she actually said Sharpton seems like a likeable guy.


I can't speak for her involvement in the CPA, but I know judge Alito was accused of the same thing which turned out to be false. And I don't think it's fair to hold Laura accountable for everything that was printed in the Dartmouth Review.

BillW,


You're an absolute idiot.

"we are a Christian Nation"

That Constitution thingie must drive you mad.

"True Americans are white, southern, Christian and Republican."

Do you agree with this?

What you said...

Bob Carson

"I hate to break it to you, but most people feel the same about the teaching of evolution. This country was founded on a Christian belief system- we are a Christian Nation. There is nothing extreme in her views at all."

Actually we are becoming  less of a "Christian Nation." Recent studies suggest religion is becoming less important in people's lives. If you watch the movie "Inherit the Wind," you will see the level of extremism and intolerance that exists among the Christian Right. Unfortunately, this still exists among some today.

"The other points you've brought up have very little merit to them. I'm sure Laura regrets the Al Sharpton comments. I was listening to her show recently and she actually said Sharpton seems like a likeable guy."


How the hell do you guy from accusing the guy of being a thieve to saying he's a likeable guy? Her first statement is consistent with her history towards blacks. She got called out on her Sharpton comments  and wants to shield her racist views. Laura is a bigoted person. She's made bigoted remarks towards other ethnic groups as well. 

"And I don't think it's fair to hold Laura accountable for everything that was printed in the Dartmouth Review." 

No, it's not fair- she was only the editor!

Bob Carson

"True Americans are white, southern, Christian and Republican."


"Do you agree with this?"


Of course he does.

Billw

Guys,

Everybody has their idea of what a "True American is." I think of true americans as being working americans- people who aren't heiresses  or CEO's. The working class people are what make up a majority of this country. 2 out of every 5 voters are these Christian, Southern voters.

I don't have a set-in-stone idea of a "TRUE" American, Billw.   I also don't impose my belief system on others. 

Live and let live is what I say.  Is that American?
