: How Elites from Hollywood, Politics, and the Media are Subverting America

Thats the title of a book written by Fox 'News' talking head Laura Ingraham.

Okay, how many celebrities got elected by these enemies of America? I see 2 Republican Presidents who rode their celebrity coat tails into the White House within my lifetime, 0 Democrats. But does Ingraham tell Republican celebrities to shut up and sing? Is that her 'advice' for Ted Nugent? Or is she just another partisan hypocrite? Why yes, she is...

And now she's facing a possible boycott over this tweet:

David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it.

She's learning the value of shutting up

Our brave patriot on the front lines just turned tail and ran...
 
Even her apology stinks. "In the spirit of holy week..." How about "In the spirit of having done something grotesque and having been called out for it..." Or, going for the honest but still inscincere approach "In the spirit of desperation as my job opportunities disintegrate around me..."
 
Dude's gonna get offers from the four schools that rejected him, right quick.
 
Dude's set. But in addition to that, the schools that rejected him are suddenly going to find that making a major political commentator shut up and commentate probably does qualify him for their political science program after all.
 
Several of her advertisers have already dropped her. These people never learn.

The movement is already afoot at Breitbart to boycott all the advertisers that drop her, since she did nothing wrong and is being unfairly attacked by lib'ruls who "always try to destroy innocent conservatives who just exercise their first amendment rights."
 
Those boycotts never work because the Breitbart crowd way overestimates just how many other people think like they do.

When will businesses learn to stay away from politics? They buy ads on a bomb thrower's show only to face a backlash and when they try to extricate themselves from that mess, they get a backlash from the bomb throwers.

Are you old enough to remember Senator George Murphy? Don't forget Governors Schwarzenegger & Ventura. One-time Presidential front-runner Fred Thomas. Congressman Sonny Bono. Mayor Clint Eastwood.

Dems have only Al Frankin.

Yeah, but no one cares about the backlash from the bomb throwers. A few thousand alt-right dingbats that will be outraged at someone else tomorrow, if it takes that long, so will likely forget all about their current outrage just don't matter. I only brought it up because the hypocrisy is so hilarious. The same people who are outraged over "the evil liberals forcing these companies to bend to their will" get a notice on Breitbart every time that Kellogg's stock dips on the day as congratulations that "their boycott is working and Kellogg's will soon bend to their will." And they celebrate.

Of course since they don't pay any attention on the days that there is no notice because Kellogg's was up on the day they think it has been in steady decline for months, which is another source of amusement.
 
"No, and thank you."

I think that was Lebron James response to Laura Ingraham's advice to shut up and dribble. Apparently James and Kevin Durant posted a video of them criticizing Trump so that got her mad.

Ingraham highlighted the video during Thursday’s episode of her Fox News show, calling James and Durant’s comments “ignorant” and recommending that they “keep the political commentary to yourself, or, as someone once said, ‘Shut up and dribble.'”" But the first topic James touched on — and the one to which he devoted most of his attention during his press conference — was Ingraham’s response to a video in which James and Kevin Durant criticized President Donald Trump. In the clip, James said that Trump, elected to “the No. 1 job in America, the appointed person, is someone who doesn’t understand the people and really don’t give a f*** about the people.” Ingraham highlighted the video during Thursday’s episode of her Fox News show, calling James and Durant’s comments “ignorant” and recommending that they “keep the political commentary to yourself, or, as someone once said, ‘Shut up and dribble.'”

Its strange for such a vocal person to continually tell others to shut up... Well, maybe not.
