Wingnut Ingraham Tells Listeners To Crank Call Voter Protection Hotline

[Tempest]

UPDATE: Laura Ingraham has asked her listeners to call the Dem Voter protection hotline - and they are now being flooded with calls from crank callers. Please call Laura and tell her what you think about this: 800.876.4123. You can e-mail her here. Apparently, voter intimidation and fraud are a joke to Laura Ingraham. Let's let her know that it is no joke.

UPDATE #2: More on Laura Ingraham: "caller indicated she is running a tape of Bill Clinton over and over saying "call 1-888 Dem Vote to report problems" - and then making fun of him, thus producing a spike in crank calls to the number" Protecting voter integrity is no joke. And I am not laughing. If anyone has audio of this, I'd love it.

1. Surely there is a prison sentence in her future

[depakid]

17. There really should be

Like most Republicans, this disgusting woman thinks she's above the law.

[Tempest]

25. Remember Tobin up in New Hampshire?

Same thing, he's in prison because of it.

2. "ole" Laura, recovering from Cancer & waving the red flag at...

the Bad Ole Karma repository...


No more sympathy here, Laura. You will have to reep what you have sown.

[NashVegas]

3. Does Anyone Have Audio?

We should be reporting this and complaining to the FCC, in mass.

[MnFats]

4. she is a first-class a**h***. I have heard her mock disabled people..

...


just a couple examples: somebody makes a crack about some liberal. she replies, "What a retard!"
she's recounting a conversation with someone who disagreed with her. She said, "It was like talking to someone who's autistic!"
getting a big laugh from whatever jerk she was talking with.
I hate her.

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. Isn't she committing a crime?

She should be subpoenaed to determine if this is part of a larger orchestrated plan.

[kenny blankenship]

6. Still think they aren't Nazis?

Democracy and 'consent of the governed' means nothing to them--it's just an annoyance.

[kestrel91316]

7. Laura's going to jail for this. It's a crime. Is she so stupid she'd

commit a crime, openly, on the friggin' radio???

What a f--king asshat.

[jumpoffdaplanet]

8. Anyone know who her boss is?

That's the one who be called and emailed right now. Insist she be fired right now.

[chelsea0011]

9. Why does she hate America?

[BonnieJW]

10. Someone should inform Laura

that ignorance, spitefulness, and hate causes cancer.

[ellacott]

14. I'm going to be contacting the FCC

This is not funny. Let's stop calling her names and shoot off some emails and get this out in the media.

[Up2Late]

11. Oh This is SOOOO Funny "dr. Laura"! About as funny as if someone...

...were to call in a bomb threat to where she broadcasts her show. Not that I would ever do that or encourage anyone else to do that, but that would have the same amount of non-humor if someone did do that.:mad:

[chat_noir]

12. from her website

CALL LAURA
800.876.4123

[chat_noir]

13. dupe - sorry

[louis-t]

15. She obviously doesn't know that 3 people

including a member of the NRC went to jail for something similar in NH.

[reprehensor]

16. bump n/t

[Quantess]

18. Excuse me?!

What a goddamn bitch. No wonder people don't like her.

[vanboggie]

19. Good work! Her line is busy.

Unless of course her staff is making outgoing calls.

[ellacott]

20. I called the DNC, they're aware of it

They said they are in the process of getting the tape so they can take action. I hope she hasn't edited the tape of her broadcast.

You can pay for a premium membership and get archives of her show. I offered to do this for them but they said they are already on it.

I hope they stick it to her good.

21. k&r

[ljm2002]

22. Got through once...

...asked what was the topic, said "Laura Ingraham..." -- he said "The Laura Ingraham show is from 9am to 12noon Eastern" and hung up on me.

Got through again, the phone rang and rang, then I got a stream of the current program (which is really, really bad).

[ellacott]

23. I called Randi's Show

I couldn't get on the air but they said they were aware of the story. I'm hoping that the DNC can get the tape.

[ellacott]

24. They got the tape!!!

They posted it on ThinkProgress.

26. This along with the Rethug Robocalling and voter intimidation acts

makes a mockery of US democracy-- it humiliates us and belittles our democracy in the eyes of the world. Not cool!

[LoZoccolo]

27. Whatever you do, do NOT crank call Republicans in the middle of the night.

28. Here's how to file a complaint with the FCC.

29. Remember Ingraham's little huddle with * and other wingnut radio hosts??

Wonder if this was part of the "stategery"...

Our election protection hotline is our 911 lifeline against the theft of our elections, and the Republican criminals are cutting our lines of communication!


These people should be thrown in prison.
