Labron James vs Laura Ingraham

Goes like this.

Labron James on ESPN podcast: "The number one job in America, the appointed person, is someone who doesn't understand the people. And really don't give a fuck about the people."

Laura Ingraham on her show on Fox: "Shut up and dribble."

Labron James: "Racist."

Laura Ingraham: "I am not."

That's all that I bothered reading. Both said more, but honestly, both of you just STFU.

Aaron Colen writing for the Blaze: "Commentary: Conservative dismissals of celebrity political opinions are lazy and unhelpful"

Break it down for us, Dr. Arron, into little bitty digestible bits.

"This type of response makes for good television, and elicits a positive response from those who don’t ever care to hear from people with different opinions.

But it’s also lazy and unproductive, and is exactly the kind of discourse that widens the ideological divide in our nation, and hinders the growth of conservatism, especially among younger people. This kind of condescending, venomous media has poisoned political conversation in America as it trickles down into the words to those who consume it regularly."

Well, where should we start? Where it started? Fine. 1) The president of the United States is not appointed. As you know by refusing to accept the results of the election, he's elected. 2) Trump's success as candidate, clearing the slate of fine successful and capable and very smart candidates in the primaries, and then wiping the floor with Hillary in the general, comes from his understanding of people, a comprehension developed over decades in real estate and construction. Had you observed his campaign you would know this. But you didn't. So you don't. 3) His actions as president in one year proved beyond doubt to honest observers that he does care about people. Particularly the middle class and lower classes. Would you care to hear a list of observed actions and results and plans that prove care and intelligence and humor? Or course you don't. By his observable actions as president, you are flatly and resolutely and lastingly wrong.

What would be the point of having this discussion? It's not laziness, Aaron Colen, it's weariness. Its exhaustion. It's having been through this ten billion times. It's maturity in recognizing things that are pointless. One arrives at the spot where one just says, shut up.

Then the other guy calls you racist.

I'm surprised that LeBron is such an ardent Hillary fan. Shame on him.

LeBum, as he's been called, is a high school dropout.

But we should hang on his every word because he runs around a stadium in his underwear dribbling and he's black.

He also doesn't realize the President of the United States is what Chip said, so he's the one to tell us the ins and outs of politics.

Listening to Labron trying to express his political opinions would be like watching Laura try to play NBA basketball. Then he could justifiably say quit running that ball and go run your mouth. Then, if she was a whiner like him, could call him a sexist because she has a right to play NBA ball.

Yeah, Labron is a real Einsteiner.

Athletes are simply today’s entertainers. Nothing special between the ears is necessary.

I think Lebron is ripe for a career ending injury. That is what happens when you dis the God Emperor of the Cherry Blossom Throne.

Of course Lebron wants to be an actor. He co-star in that train-wreck Amy Schumer's movie called "Trainwreck."

He has a chance for a big success when they remake Magilla Gorilla.

everyone has an opinion, however, most of the time, it's wrong. How can an opinion be wrong you say? Well, let's for a moment believe that your opinion is that the sky is purple and not blue due to the nitrogen content and the wavelength of light that it blocks in the blue color spectrum. You insist that the sky is purple. 99.9999999% of people believe the sky to be blue. You know what the color blue looks like. Maybe you believe the color you are seeing is blue, but then why wouldn't you call it blue instead or you believe that the color blue is purple and you don't know any better.

This leads to a logical conclusion about your opinion. 1. You know what the color blue is and yet believe the sky is purple. 2. You don't know what the color blue looks like and you call it purple instead. 3. You've never seen the color blue or purple and never learned your colors so you call the sky purple. 4. You're a moron.

All indicators are that your opinion is not only wrong, but you're an idiot. Just like Lebron has his opinion and it smells as shitty as it looks, but he's a moron nonetheless. It's that simple.
