   So is this just CNN creating a nothing burger out of Ingraham's actions or is this generally supported by the right wing?

   I actually fully support the right of white supremacists to have a voice. Free speech, after all. However, I also fully support calling out people who provide support to their voice. In this case, it's pretty clear that Ingraham is a racist. That means people that follow her support a racist and Fox News supports a racist. Generally, when you support racists, you are a racist.
   
   We've got to rid the white land of Jews!
   
   When you hang out with racists, you might be one.
   
   So when conservatives slather the forums with how dumb they think liberals are, it's hard to take them seriously when they continue to support conservative voices like Ingraham and "news" channels like Fox.
   
   Perhaps somebody can explain it. How can we take Fox and Ingraham seriously when they do stuff like this?

      The inclusion of the white supremacist among the photos may have been accidental or unintended.  Fox did state that Ingraham doesn't support Nehlen.  We'll see how this unfolds.

         If it's unintentional, there seems to be an awful lot of unintentional support for racists from the Right.

      I have to defend the right of Ingram to have people on her program, I want to hear what they have to say and the basis for what they believe.
      
      They don't call it racism but free speech. These people that were  highlighted are saying the things that conservatives just whisper about, it is a shame that conservatives in supporting the program reveal to me their true colors and why they can never convince me and others like me to support them in any point of discussion.
      
      But who knows, people advocating leftish positions may be just as disturbing to the Rightwinger.
      
      why this Nazi like focus on the Jews, they are always at the foundation of race baiting and bigotry?

   Not a fan of her and she might be a racist. I don't know. But, in theory, I agree that free speech is for all. Not just those we like to listen to. If people can't speak their minds we don't know their minds.
   
   The guy they call a white supremacist. I don't know who he is but they said he ran for office. Had he run, without the freedom to speak his mind, he might have won. Can you imagine that?
