Laura Ingraham Praises Ted Nugent, says he was winning.

Only in the mind of a right-wing fanatic can a man shouting sexual expletives at a female reporter be considered a “winning” argument. Of course Laura Ingraham was referring to Ted Nugent’s exchange with a CBS reporter when she commented on this last night on the O’reilly Factor. Media Matters provided the transcript of the comments of Nugent and Ingraham.

NUGENT: Call me, when you meet someone who does that more than I do. Because that’s really moderate. In fact, you know what that is? That’s extreme. I’m an extremely loving, passionate man, and people who investigate me honestly, without the baggage of political correctness, ascertain the conclusion that I’m a damned nice guy. And if you can find a screening process more powerful than that, I’ll suck your d–k.

After playing Nugent’s comments, with the inflammatory parts beeped out, Ingraham stated: “Winning” — a reference to a quote by actor Charlie Sheen. Vulture, the New York magazine blog, defined the term this way:

Winning

verb (frequently used)

1. the act of triumphing over studio executives, famous fathers, and jerky show-runners, who then have no choice but to “lay down with their ugly wives and their ugly children and just look at their loser lives”

Ingraham went on to say: “Well, Nugent apologized off camera and he said after the interview that he was rushed to the emergency room and had a kidney stone removed.” She added: “You can decide if the rocker’s a pinhead or a patriot for those remarks.”

In the past weeks, pinheads have included NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell, whom O’Reilly accused on May 2 of “slanting” the news by seeming to be “crossing over into the liberal precincts lately.” Her crime? From Nexis:

A Comment From A Patriot!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff,

You are a true American patriot. Although you and I disagree on some things, I am proud to walk beside you in our fight to re-claim America. Thank you for the comment below. I also want to let everyone that I am dissapointed that this site has fallen back to #2 in the Google search. It needs to be at the top of the results, even if that means me posting something everyday. I wish I could put more effort behind this site. Laura’s family background needs to be investigated. Her adoptions need to be examined. There are whole host of different things. Perhaps one day I will have the money and resources to make this site what it should be. Until then, I’ll just have to continue the fight with whatever means I have.

Wvelie, We are not lying when we say Ingraham is homophobic she proves it on her show daily, when we say Ingraham is racist she says it on her show daily. Ingraham is part of this right wing ( maybe that should be wrong wing because their wrong on everything) That floods the airways with disinformation and right wing spin, did youevr hear her praie the President when he saved the auto industry and millions of jobs> did you ever hear her praise the Pres. when Bin Laden was killed or Al Awlaki or the othe top 26 leaders of Al Quieda ? the answer is no. and Bob, Ed Shultz and Rachel Maddow were born into humble families like we were and made it to the top but never forgot where they came from.
