Laura Ingraham flips out when guest brings up NYC cabbie's stabbing

Wouldn't you know it: For the entire day yesterday, Fox News -- for all of its copious coverage of the NYC mosque controversy and Tiger Woods' divorce -- somehow couldn't see fit to run any kind of coverage at all about the stabbing of that Muslim New York cabbie.

Indeed, when Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer brought it up as an example of the kind of viciousness being stirred up by Fox News on The O'Reilly Factor, fill-in host Laura Ingraham completely flipped out and began shouting over him, declaring that "we haven't confirmed that yet."

Well, Laura, here's your confirmation:

A college student who did volunteer work in Afghanistan was charged Wednesday with slashing a taxi driver's neck and face after the driver said he's Muslim.

A criminal complaint alleges Michael Enright uttered an Arabic greeting and told the driver, "Consider this a checkpoint," before the brutal bias attack occurred Tuesday night inside the yellow cab on Manhattan's East Side. Police say Enright was drunk at the time.

A judge ordered Enright, 21, held without bail on charges of attempted murder and assault as hate crimes and possession of a weapon. The handcuffed defendant, wearing a polo shirt and cargo shorts, did not enter a plea during the brief court appearance.

How long before we find out he was an avid Fox watcher and Pam Geller devotee, I wonder.

Incidentally, you'll notice that this video is actually quite delightful, because Stringer won't let Ingraham intimidate him or shut him up. At one point, she tries to do an O'Reilly and orders him: "Pipe down!" But he goes on to pin her ears back by pointing out her hypocrisy on the mosque, as Alan Colmes did the night before.

Ingraham obviously believes she can outsmart and outbully these liberals she's been bringing on. Instead, she's been getting her ass handed to her. Fun to watch.

4. Thanks...C&L sometimes has issues with their links. n/t

10. Thanks for the link, Ptah, one thing I noticed on their one sided video clips,

there were no shots shown of the counter protests; in support of the multi-religious Cordoba House being built.

I wonder, how much money does FOX pay Laura Ingraham and her ilk to interrupt and talk over; their guests when inconvenient facts are presented, as a means to stifle information from reaching their viewers and thereby to sell the American People down the river?

5. Laura Ingraham flips out?

How can you tell? :shrug:

7. That was my question.

Flips out? Really? That would mean you (someone) actually heard her say sane, common sense type stuff...waiting to verify that. Wait. Checking. No. Nope still no word on her actually have a sane thought.

8. An example of 1st amendment rights?

This is what she wants.

9. Nice freeze-frame shot that reveals the ugliness within

Repugs like their bigotry & hatred dished-up in a pretty package, but the psychological facade breaks down occasionally - revealing the Cheneyesque sneer beneath.

11. I didn't notice the gold cross necklace until I viewed the video for a second time, honestly

I don't believe Ingraham gives a rat's ass about the teachings of Jesus, it's just a propaganda device.

12. my radio at work only picks up the rw station, serious

and she's on it. I often wonder if she ever shuts the fark up long enough to get a rational thought into her head

13. Scott Stringer has been mentioned as NYC's next mayor

sounds like he'd be a refreshing change from Moneybags!

14. Flip Flop Laura.

I remember back in December when Laura Ingraham praised the builders of the Cultural Centre.

Whoops!

15. can't stand her. Irresponsible propagandist in step with Levin and Savage and Hannity. nt

16. She's a worthless organism.....

17. After her total fail on The Colbert Report, Laura's been a little

irritable. After bragging on her Dartmouth education, Laura ranted to Stephen about his referring to her as a banshee. She scolded Colbert for his slur on native Americans. What? Laura, sweetie. Even this state college educated girl knows banshee is Celtic.
Sheesh. Get a job on Fox and Friends already.

18. lol

she must've been thinking of an 80s band
