With a sarcastic grin, perhaps a sneer of "white-ness" and elitist arrogance, Laura, "I wear my Christianity on my sleeve," Ingraham, tells Lebron James to "shut up and dribble" when he speaks as a free citizen.
Laura, you are
#1, not a good Christian, in fact you are hypocritical as you brag your fake Christian values being unkind to your fellow man in an unnecessary way, and
#2 either you
a) fail and ignore your law degree and legal experience/expertise when you wish to stifle free speech, which you know is wrong to do per the LAW, OR
b) you are showing your racism to selectively pick a black man, a black athlete we tend to stereotype as dumb, and tell HIM to shut up because he criticized your buddy Trump.
"Laura Ingraham Told LeBron James To Shut Up And Dribble; He Went To The Hoop"
February 19, 20185:04 PM ET Emily Sullivan
"Journalist Laura Ingraham sought to rebuke the Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James for "talking politics" during a recent interview — something the Fox News host believes is out of bounds for an athlete. [Laura did not explain why free speech and politics are out of bound" of course, because there is no support for here comments other than anger and, possibly, racism and bias against athletes.]
Ingraham said she was not interested in the political advice from "someone who gets paid $100 million a year to bounce a ball.""
Laura is the last person to highlight how much money one gets for doing what they do - she makes $millions a year, and she is getting paid to "just talk" which seems, at times, less skilled than bouncing a ball (or scoring 30,000 points - lol!).
"The backlash was swift. "Almost all the stories accused me of 'dog-whistle' commentary, and many claimed that my line that LeBron should 'shut up and dribble' was 'racist,' " she said Friday.
The journalist insisted that she's "been using variants of that title to call out celebrities for 15 years," citing a book she wrote in 2006 called Shut Up and Sing. [You were wrong in 2006 too, Laura.]
Indeed, the comment was hardly the first Ingraham made telling left-wing celebrities to stay out of politics. Recently, she hurled this apparent zinger toward Jimmy Kimmel, a critic of the GOP's efforts to replace the Affordable Care Act: "Shut up and make us laugh every once in a while."" [Wrong again, Laura . . . You give your opinion and advice every day, why don't you shut up?]
Laura, your excuse does not pass the smell test since Lebron is a coherent, intelligent adult speaking his opinion, offering a fair criticism in the context of an interview question.
Laura, you are ALSO wrong, and betray your legal training and "legal expertise," in fact, for every celeb or any person you tell to shut up and stay out of politics. Americans are living in a democracy which DEMANDS they have an opinion and NOT stifle their free speech right.
"Ingraham's comments came in the run-up to Sunday's NBA All-Star game, in which James captained the winning team. He said Ingraham's criticism only enlarged his message: "The best thing she did was help me create more awareness" during the "best weekend" at the NBA, the athlete said Sunday. "I get to sit up here and talk about social injustice."
"We will definitely not shut up and dribble. ... I mean too much to society, too much to the youth, too much to so many kids who feel like they don't have a way out," James continued.
"I had no idea who she is ... until now," the athlete quipped."
You see, Laura, despite playing basketball, Lebron is still a US citizen, not a slave, never was. You know Lebron is not a slave right Laura? When anyone in the world dislikes our President, but especially an American citizen, he or she can say he does not like him or her, right Laura?
I suggest you drop your "shut up and (fill in the blank) Laura. We are all duty bound in a democracy to speak up every time we feel the need. SPEAKING ON POLITICS IS OUR DEMOCRATIC DUTY, Laura, JUST LIKE VOTING!
You're a nice Christian woman Laura, do you think your white skin, your perch on a Fox platform, your money, or your college degree gives you the "right" to tell anyone not to criticize the President?
Recall Amendment #1 Laura, to the Constitution of the United States of America. It is about free speech in case you have forgotten it Laura.
Laura Ingraham contradicts her "Christian Warrior" façade and appears to fuel the culture war as she characterizes liberals as following what she seems to say is a bad philosophy - see quote above - in international relations. IT'S A CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHY LAURA!
"Matthew 7:12 English Standard Version (ESV)The Golden Rule
12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."
Laura contributes her bile filled acrimony to the culture divide in America; it appears to be her God given mission.
HYPOCRITE! ANOTHER FAKE CHRISTIAN! ENJOYS WEAPONIZING RELIGION.
Is Laura criticizing liberals for practicing the Christian Golden Rule?
What seems very simple is Laura's mind. She wants Americans to believe liberals have sold out because they follow the Golden Rule, which supposedly SHE would follow if she were truly Christian.
