Do you ever get the feeling that Tea Party Republicans see the phrase “Ignorance Is Bliss” as a Mission Statement?

GOP Rep. Bob Inglis slams Republicans for being led by hate radio, ‘preying on fears.’

I always try to give credit where credit is due and my hat is off to Bob Inglis! Sometimes people step up and do the right thing. It's really to bad that he lost the primary but I guess he just wasn't hateful enough for the tea party or republicans! What a shame!~Mem

Rep. Bob Inglis (R-SC), who lost recently in his primary run-off for the Republican nomination to keep his seat in Congress, is speaking out about the influence of hate radio and right-wing fear mongering in the Republican Party. In an interview with the AP, Inglis called out reactionaries like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck for spreading “demagoguery” and hatred in society:

– Noting that Palin had spread the “death panel” smear, Inglis said, “there were no death panels in the bill…and to encourage that kind of fear is just the lowest form of political leadership.” Read More...

    So, Bob Inglis finally joined Bob Bennett and Dede Scozzafava in going "full Bulworth." I'm conflicted...

    While he expresses opinions that are clearly shared by a significant portion of what remains of moderate Republicanism, I have to stop short of calling him "brave" for stating them.

    Brave will be a politician that lets us in on what they're really thinking while they're STILL in office, not after they've left, or as a lame duck. When that starts happening, we may get somewhere.

    Yeggo, I agree with what you have said but I still have to give him credit. If nothing else he has told the truth about Sarah Palin and her "Death Panels". I'm sure her sheeple will still believe her but it's in writing now by her OWN party that she is a LIAR!

    I am like you, I would much rather hear this from those who are in office.

    Thanks for posting,
