Laura Ingraham To Tea Party: Avoid ‘Stupid Comments’ On Women, Abortio

Conservative pundit Laura Ingraham said Tuesday that she's not surprised that the tea party has seen "some upsurge in its popularity and in its donations" following revelations that the Internal Revenue Service improperly targeted such groups, but she warned the conservative wing of the GOP to not squander the moment.

During an interview on Fox News Channel, Ingraham cautioned the tea party against adopting "kind of a victim status mentality" and said that, ultimately, the movement's success in future elections will depend on the quality of candidates.

“You can’t have people making stupid comments about, you know, women and abortion,” Ingraham said.

She is basically advocating that the Republican Tea Party conceal its true motivations/ideology until after the election and then proceed to enact all of the stupid policies and make all of the stupid comments they want?

Roger ailes claims that laura is a journalist whom is deserving of respect and special treatment. Laura is little more than an extremist reactionary, in league with the Teabaggers. Right wing entertainers like laura have been working with right wing extremists to destroy American news journalism. The fact that these kind of obvious partisan lies disguised as news is not met with outrage from any other "journalists" proves the point; what journalists?

Why does this have to be said. Seems like common sense not to say sometime negative about woman if you're trying to win an election.
