Laura Ingraham Wants Military Defunded Over General Milley's Critical Race Theory Defense

General Milley: "I've read Karl Marx. I've read Lenin. That doesn't make me a communist."

1. This needs to be amplified

And fashioned into a political cudgel to bash Republicant candidates and incumbents in 2022.

[NoMoreRepugs]

2. The party of law n order and praise the military has sort of spun out of control it seems.

Sidenote, ingraham is one vile looking meat popsicle.

[patphil]

3. Wow! General Milley really scared Laura Ingraham.

Was it the idea of studying critical race theory, or the General suggesting an investigation into, not just the events of January 6th, but into the root causes of the attack on our government?
Is the mentality that brought the horrors of slavery to this nation, and now wants to deny it, the same mentality that fueled the insurrection, and now wants to cancel any real examination of it?
General Milley says we need to understand our enemies. Perhaps that requires an in-depth examination of the Republican Party, and the radical right that they have cultivated and embraced?
How deeply are they intertwined?
Sounds like Ingraham has good reason to fear General Milley.

5. I hope Coppola sues her for that...

When did Laura Nazi Ingraham become Michael Corelone?

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Thank you for posting the clear evidence of the little nazi pledging her allegiance to white power

[PatSeg]

6. My god, can't we get this horrible woman

to just go away? She has a net worth of over $70 million. Surely that's enough to retire on, maybe buy herself an island in the Caribbean. I guess being a hateful, lying monster has no price tag.

[not fooled]

17. Wow, being a sellout Nazi

sure does pay.

[PatSeg]

22. Yes, so it seems

As with so many of these right-wing propagandists, there is never enough money and no bottom that they will sink to.

[bucolic_frolic]

7. She said it. Republicans want to defund the military. What is conservative about that exactly?

Sure not stability, status quo, efficiency, or patriotism. So America is asking .... waiting .... listening .....

[brush]

8. Hmmmm. We should be able to do some negative messaging with that...

if we're smart...like they did with "defund the police."

We've got the video with Ingraham spewing the damaging words out loud.

[onecaliberal]

9. The ad practically writes itself. n/t

[alfredo]

10. the GQP is down with defunding the capitol police too.

[peggysue2]

11. Okay, then

So, our dueling ad/message is:

Stop the Defund the Military movement.

Take all that noise the GOP threw on Defund the Police and throw it back at them x 1000.

The counter messaging writes itself.

Doesn't matter whether we think the military budget is actually over-the-top. We let them eat their own words on a subject they always gloat over: how much they support the military, yada, yada.

[Rebl2]

12. Maybe

a Lincoln Project ad should be put out there addressing this.

[peggysue2]

14. Yes!

Or Rachel Bitecofer's Strike Pac. Or Meidas Touch.

All the the ad makers that charged the ether and rattled TVs in 2020.

All of them!

[Initech]

13. Hey everyone! Fox News is against the troops!

[StClone]

16. Defudge FOX News

[forgotmylogin]

20. And Ms. Ingraham is against those at a military academy being "open minded...

...and widely read" apparently.

[LiberalLovinLug]

15. The question "WHY?" is not to be ever asked by that "news" network

It reminds me of the weeks and months after 9/11. If any network, let alone FOX, ever dared to ask why, to ever suggest that there was some reason behind it...besides pure lunatic baseless aggression because they "hate our freedom" whatever that means, was not tolerated. Any kind of digging into questions surrounding the notion that there must have been some perceived wrong that the terrorists felt they were righting. What was that wrong? Why would they do that? How does radicalization of young Muslims start? With the thought that we must understand the WHY, even if we obviously disagree with their response to the WHY, in order to fight against it in the future.

I remember how that kind of reasoning was simply not allowed on network TV. Bill Maher's comments simply implying that it took guts to fly into a building, was even going too far in trying to understand them, and be honest. The terrorists had to be portrayed as automated machines programmed by the evil Islamic anti-Christian anti-Israeli Godless turban wearing brown terrorist leaders. There was no actual reason. They attacked simply because they are bad machines. Now move on.

18. Benghanzi!

The Republicans held 33 hearings and spent $7 million dollars on this clusterf*ck. Kevin McCarthy said the purpose of spending so much attention and money was to drive down Hillary Clinton's poll numbers.

Now the QGOP is saying it would be "political" to create a bipartisan commission, and besides, it's too late to get any useful information because people forget. Yeah, you really forget the details of being assaulted by an angry mob, an event that happened less than seven months ago. Besides, the QGOP is the reason the time is being dragged out. Of course, they did the same thing with the 9/11 commission. Both events occurred while a Republican was in the WH -- I wonder if that might have something to do with it.

[JohnnyRingo]

19. Oh my!

Is Laura Ingraham on acid?
The military is their sweetheart. They're the ones who coined "thank you for your service" to promote the Iraq War, now they want to cut their nuts off.

[Evolve Dammit]

27. Shows you how superficial the slogan and sentiment really is. "Losers and suckers."

[BlancheSplanchnik]

21. Fuck you, ingraham.

[Escurumbele]

23. What an ugly woman she is...and I don't mean physically only, its her soul...its horrendous.

And I am sure she goes to bed find every night, people like her have no sense of morality, no principles, no empathy, just hate.

[lonely bird]

24. Ingraham wants to be relevant

She isn’t.

[Maraya1969]

25. "Be openminded and widely read" Well that there is fighting words for the GQP!

"We insist on being closeminded and dumb as rocks." is there new slogan.

[Frustratedlady]

28. She should be fired and make us all happy

Her sour attitude is getting old and FOX is a harm to the US.

[Skittles]

29. let's all guess what HER military service was

STFU, Laura

[LetMyPeopleVote]

30. Gaetz wants to defund the FBI

Link to tweet

[Blue Owl]

31. Somewhere MTG's head is exploding

[YoshidaYui]

32. Just look at that smug face of Laura Ingraham.

like she could run things any better...
