Catholic convert Laura INGRAHAM missed the spiritual memo, full blown racist on Kamala

Laura Ingraham Spews Incredibly Racist Take On Kamala Harris
The Fox News personality called Harris "completely incapable" in a racist takedown.

.... “She is completely incapable of stepping in to take over as commander-in-chief, should Biden be incapacitated,” Ingraham said on “The Ingraham Angle.” “She has problems delivering simple remarks. Because, I’m sorry, she knows nothing except how to play the race card to get ahead.”

Ingraham continued her racist takedown, focusing on Harris’ election victory speech in which she rightfully celebrated becoming the first Black and first female vice president.

“It’s always a diversity thing,” Ingraham snarked. “How about merit? How about that for a change? Well, it turns out that selecting a VP based solely on diversity criteria and not objective merit is not only stupid, it’s really dangerous. There is literally no situation, no problem that the White House can turn over to her to handle in the place of the president. Like, remember she was supposed to handle the border, remember that? Well, America’s border is now overrun with drugs, illegals, and sex traffickers. Nice job, Kamala.”

The sneery TV personality added: “If her goal was to pump up our enemies and demoralize our own people, then she should be excited.” ....

Remember the early Laura INGRAHAM – one of the “Elves” feeding tips in the background to the Ken STARR and Paula JONES inquisition – the Elves being her, COULTERgeist, George CONWAY, Kellyanne FITZGERALD/Conway-now, Barbara OLSON – linking up DRUDGE and ISOKOFF. And the then wingnut David BROCK who was persecuting the CLINTONs before converting to us and writing his book, “Blinded by the Right”, in which he described his ex-friends’ foibles: INGRAHAM crawling on all fours on barroom floors, posting flyers outing Gays on college campus with boyfriend d’SOUZA, holding a gun to the head of a dude who broke up with her, wearing a tiger striped mini-skirt to get on t.v., etc. How DRUDGE crushed on BROCK with flowers and courtliness. COULTERgeist living on wine and cigarettes.

So she got her dream to be on t.v., and showed herself with pure vitriol, vehemence, hate speech.

Then in the '90s(?) there was a flurry of conversions to Catholicism (Opus Dei? ) within the wingnut “Intelligence” community – CIA spooks and FBI, and connected media types Robert NOVAKula and this INGRAHAM person.

So she sort of took hiatus or something, with her spiritual conversion (sic), and adopted some Russian orphans and had cancer. And when she returned to the monitor, I *peered* at her expressions, noting her very TONED DOWN commentaries, and she did seem to be more moderated in her demeanor, not so MEAN, and she would wear a little gold cross. But in the next couple of years she gradually upped her wingnut rage back to her old self.

On her website she sold the little gold cross with some proceeds supposedly going to The Little Sisters of the Poor. I called the Little ones and asked the Mother Superior whether a convert might be expected to show some kindness instead of harsh beliefs and language, shouldn’t “spirituality” show itself somehow in a convert. She (sounding elderly) was astounded, said she had never heard of INGRAHAM or knew of no donations from her, and would look into it.

So I don’t watch her but the tidbit news tells me she is as far gone to her original full vitriol and worse.

The link below selling the little gold cross doesn't go there anymore. I chatted a message, "What happened to the little gold cross and The Little Sisters of the Poor? She's back to her old hateful self."

3. Didn't Laura adopt children from Guatemala? If so, I wonder how her rants make her children feel.

What the GOP all believe. Identifying as “Christian” or “Catholic” has nothing to do with their mind set.

6. So there's no link between how they live/believe and their religious identification?

So what's the point of having an identification based on religion? Asking sincerely.

7. Religion absolutely does have to do with hers and their mindset.

There are MANY MANY types of Catholics and other Christians out there. There are liberal Catholics and Christians, mainline, mainstream, social justice, moderate, conservative, and extreme right wing.

The current Pope is more liberal, which has ruffled a lot of feathers in the Church, since the last Pope was a right winger. Archbishop Romero, murdered in El Salvador in 1980 likely by the right wing government or extremists because he was preaching rights for the poor and against right wing soldiers killing and kidnapping people.

Religion in some cases, may not be the proximal cause of a person's hateful attitudes, but it is almost always a justification and an incentive for it. Much of what Conservatives believe, in terms of religion, comes from a combination of Calvinism, fundamentalist evangelism, and prosperity gospel. Catholics are not immune to being on the radical right. In fact there are sects of Radical Catholics, who have a doctrine extremely different from mainstream Catholics.
