Well, Laura Ingraham has returned from her "vacation" and seems to have fallen into the standard right-wing "I know you are, but what am I?" shtick:
It's always a "plot", which, coming from a wing of American politics that is tightly organized, has its fingers in every area of public discourse (including, and especially, broadcast media), and has long-term strategies for establishing a "permanent majority", is somewhere beyond ironic.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. The gist of her diatribe is that she's angry because society is changing, what was once normal is no longer socially acceptable, and "conservatives", like everyone else, have to face consequences for their words and actions.
Go ahead and read the whole thing -- and if you have the stomach for it:
Be warned: it's ten minutes of Ingraham off the rails. And the comments at YouTube have all got to be from Russian bots. They have to be.
Laura Ingraham returned to her Fox News show Monday night after a week-long vacation amid a boycott by at least 20 top advertisers. And she returned fighting. The "Ingraham Angle" host painted those on the left as "intolerant," violent, "speech czars." And she told viewers that the boycott against her show, which was initiated by high school mass shooting survivor David Hogg in response to her mocking him, is "Stalinist."
. . .
In the 10-minute intro (video below) kicking off her return Ingraham wailed against what she called "The Left's Plot to Silence Conservatives."
"Many of you have become accustomed to editing yourselves, let's face it. Expressing views that just five or 10 years ago were considered mainstream can now get you fired. It can cause to you lose a promotion, or you could be branded a hater, or, yes, you can get boycotted," she complained.

Conservatives are always hot for boycotting something until the boycott is aimed at them. It suddenly becomes Stalinist or worse at that point. No point watching or listening to this one. She's as rabid as Coulter.
