Laura Ingraham blasts Sarah Palin's ghostwritten Facebook post. Seriously?

Courtesy of Politico:

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.

Palin published a Facebook message Thursday urging Republicans to stand firm on fiscal issues, adding: "Everyone I talk to still believes in contested primaries."

"Well, just, watch out, 'Everyone I talk to still believes in contested primaries.' God bless her, Sarah Palin's saying that in a message she put out," Ingraham said.

She proceeded to run through a list of conservatives who have endorsed Boehner's plan, quipping sarcastically: "I guess we're threatening, implicitly, explicitly, Paul Ryan, Col. Allen West, Mike Pence is gonna be out of the House of Representatives. He'll be the governor of Indiana. Maybe we can run someone else as governor of Indiana, to run for the governorship, 'cause Pence is obviously a sellout. 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."

"It's a very odd way to go about things if we have a common goal," Ingraham continued, urging tea party-aligned Republicans to seek a "real and meaningful" role — "not just, ok, I'm the spoiler here. I stood on principle, everybody else is impure."

"You can stand on that soapbox and it might make you feel good in the moment. It make might you feel good to put out these Facebook postings," she said. "But in the end, does it actually advance your cause? And does it advance the cause of fiscal restraint, which I think we all have?"

Interesting, it looks like Palin's scorched earth philosophy is not selling well with the people who have some rudimentary connection to reality.

After all Ingraham is pretty damn wingnutty her own darn self, so if Palin starts losing the batshit crazy crowd, she will end up simply standing next to an isolated lake in a remote part of the world talking to herself.

Though come to think of it, that is already kind of what she is doing NOW!

Only in the rapidly approaching future, nobody will bother to pay any attention to what the crazy lady is screaming into the chilly Alaskan night.  Pretty sure Todd and her kids (Except Bristol of course) stopped listening to her quite some time ago.

"I don't snuff my own seed!" Extremely racially insulting radio ad voiced by Herman Cain in 2006 in attempt to persuade African Americans to vote Republican.

Yes I know that you are thinking this MUST be a parody.  But nope!



And no your ears are not deceiving you, one of the voices in that ad indeed belongs to ex-Godfather's Pizza CEO, radio host, and now candidate for the GOP Presidential ticket, Herman Cain. Which raises the question, "Is it possible for a black man to be a racist against his own people?"

The ad was put out in 2006 by a group calling themselves America's PAC. And they were trying to..to..hell what were they trying to do?

Well here let Herman Cain himself explain it to from an interview he gave to the New York Sun:

"The main thing that America's Pac is up to is it basically is challenging the thesis or the belief on the part of the Republican Party that they cannot attract the black vote," Mr. Cain said. He said similar advertisements run in 2004 helped boost President Bush's share of the black vote in Ohio to 16%, from 9% in 2000.

"We don't believe that was an accident," Mr. Cain said. The IRS filing indicates that the ads are running this year in 10 battleground states, including Ohio, New Mexico, and Nevada.

Mr. Cain, who once managed the Godfather's Pizza chain and ran unsuccessfully for the Senate from Georgia in 2004, said he was not troubled that Mr. Rooney, who is white, is funding ads using black voices who claim to speak on behalf of the black community."You don't have a lot of black billionaires who would want to fund something like this," he said.

Gee, ya think?

You know I have to imagine that the NAACP feels toward Herman Cain about the same way that women's organizations feel toward Sarah Palin. They just want them to go far, far away.

Who Is Michael Shiels?

Mike is the host of WJIM 1240-AMs morning show, The Big Show. Here is part of his biography from www.golfpodium.com:

Michael Patrick Shiels has covered the world of golf and its major players in print, on radio and on television, and offers behind the scenes tales. Shiels wrote and produced features for ESPN's "Inside the PGA TOUR," and has authored five golf-related books, including "Good Bounces and Bad Liesthe Autobiography of Ben Wright." The revealing collaborative effort with Wright, the former CBS- TV golf analyst, was characterized by the Los Angeles Times as "Possibly the best sports book ever", while the Washington Times wryly compared Shiels and Wright to Hemingway and Fitzgerald.

Comparing Shiels to Hemingway? I found this example of Mikey's writing ability on a local website:

Dear Lucy -
I have distrubed on my honeymoon (and my first vacation in two years) because of the furor caused by your web posting protesting Saul Anuzis guest hosting my WJIM AM 1240 morning radio show.
I'd like to calm everyone down and alert you that Mark Brewer was offered to co-host with Saul, as they do when they debate every Tuesday on the show. There have been plenty of occasions when Mark Brewer was a guest on the show without Saul, as well. In addition, just off the top of my head, we have recently had the following guests on the program" Sen. Carl Levin, Sen. Debbie Stabenow, Cong. Bart Stupak. Cong. Carl Levin, weekly interviews with Michigan Senate Democratic Leader Mark Schauer, State Sen. Gretchen Whitmer, Mayor Virg Bernero, Cong. Dennis Kucnich, State Rep. Ed Clemente, Gov. Jennifer Granholm, weekly interviews with First Gentleman Dan Mulhern, (who was also offered to guest host and has done so in the past), State Sen Gleason, and many more democrats.
I am a non-partisan host...and have worked hard to maintain that position...even abstaining from voting in the primary.
I think, in fairness, I deserve the opportunity for everyone on MichiganLiberal.com to read this.
Thank you.
Michael Patrick Shiels



Non-partisan? Thanks for making me laugh this morning, Mikey!
