Ingraham On Scarborough’s Disdain For Talk Radio

May stem from his own 2010 radio ‘cancellation’

On her Thursday program, conservative talker Laura Ingraham struck back at MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough and others who want to blame talk radio for 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s presidential election loss, suggesting that Scarborough’s anger may be linked to his radio show getting cancelled in 2010.

“You got to have leaders that will turn out against the crazies in your own party,” Scarborough said Thursday morning according to The Daily Caller, “and if you do — you start winning those middle, those swing voters.”

Scarborough, along with others on his program Thursday, attacked certain elements in the conservative movement, including talk radio. That has been a constant theme of his MSNBC program dating back to President Barack Obama’s re-election victory last November, including earlier this week when Scarborough tied conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh and Fox News to a string of lost presidential elections.

Ingraham explained that Romney’s appearances on her show were sparse and said that suggested that his campaign had attempted to distance itself from talk radio, as opposed to embracing it.
