Daily Show: Laura Ingraham is hyperbolic spewing nut

I suppose the headline goes without saying, but it’s there never the less.

For those of you who do not have the pleasure of knowing the irony that is Laura Ingraham, please watch the video below. As you watch the small rally of, mainly middle class white people fight against an idea that would greatly benefit them, you can see the esteemed Mrs Ingraham compare Health Care reform with… you guessed it… The Holocaust.

Now, the extreme polar opposites of these two topics are not clearly visible to the ill informed and easily terrified, so you will have to forgive the ignorance of this woman. What makes the piece even more ironically hypocritical is that she is speaking of boogeyman coming for the rich and not stepping up to stop them, because she is not rich herself. While she is reciting a parable, she is lost and unaware of the fact that she is a very wealthy woman, one who came across her wealth by spewing lies and fearing the easily feared and stupid.

What would have really set this clip over the top is if the Earth split open beneath her feet and an army or Holocaust victims sprung from the ground and struck her down, while simultaneously berating her for her outfit and choices in life. Death by guilt, ridicule and Jewish zombies. Considering Mrs Ingraham is a Christian, I assume the idea of a Jewish zombie being slightly appealing to her… but multiply that by 1000 and she is screwed.

I must get violent in the morning.
