We can start with her staunch stance against any form of sex education that isn't "abstinence only" and constant demonizing of anyone who isn't a Christian, moral Conservative.

Reasonable and educated people can and do disagree about what is and what isn't appropriate sexual behavior.

Your statement sounds to me like an extremist interpretation of whatever she has, in fact, actually said on the subject. Particularly the "demonizing" comment. But for the sake of discussion let's just say it were true. That is not ignorance - it is simply a viewpoint that differs from yours and that you therefore don't like.

I don't watch TV. My individual opinions differ when it comes to various issues. Then again, many in the Plains/Midwest do not appreciate the fine attention to semantics and nuances of a particular argument. I don't ever see things from a strict black or white perspective.

Help us out here, GS. If you don't watch TV, how have you seen how Laura Ingraham looks on TV?

Now I'm doing my best, though with some difficulty, not to interpret

as a broad brush put down of people in the Midwest. If that is not the impression you want to leave, I think you should explain more clearly and perhaps also explain how your comment relates to the question asked.

Reasonable and educated people don't try to push moral based abstinence only education into the public school system despite it being an abject failure, while fighting vehemently against anything to the contrary, like education on safe sex.

There is no "extremist interpretation" needed. She's made her views plenty well known in several books and countless radio and television spots.

Actually, I couldn't care less if she holds the mentally retarded social views she does, that's her business. When she attempts to enforce those views through the public school system, then we have a problem.

You mean when they'll bring on guests from both sides of the spectrum and allow the conservative, right leaning ones to state their views without issue but the liberal guests are attacked, interrupted and talked over? Laura Ingraham is famous for this and I personally watched her do it when she was interviewing two people from Wisconsin regarding their sex ed laws.

You realize Ingraham herself got her television start on MSNBC right? Joe Scarborough also hosts a show on there and he's a very staunch conservative.
