Scarborough: Trump Criticism of LaVar Ball is Racist “Dog Whistle”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/20/2017 5:21:02 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Latest installment in the ongoing saga of Everything’s Racist . . .

Joe Scarborough has asserted that President Trump deployed a racist “dog whistle” when he recently criticized LaVar Ball.

Trump’s beef was that LaVar had refused to give the President any credit for arranging the release of Ball’s son LiAngelo, who along with two other UCLA basketball players had been arrested for shoplifting in China.

Mr. Trump, you should have let the Chinese handle this ghetto trash.

They have stores in China? China should just shut them down. It couldn’t be too hard to make up a reason.

Good deeds never go unpunished.
They were thieves.
Trump should have left them in China and let the Chinese law system deal with them. He wouldn't have been criticized any more than he is now.

Dog Whistle:

A pundit's biased interpretation of simple declarative English.

Oh good. I hadn't seen a new racist statement or action in a couple of days.

I'll bet we can still get one more new racist accusation in the lamestream media before Thanksgiving. I'm sure there'll be at least 3 or 4 additional racist claims come out before Christmas.

Prediction: both Thanksgiving and Christmas will somehow be declared racist. Gift giving will be declared racist. Turkey (the food, not the country) will be declared racist. At least 2 popular gifts this year will be declared racist. Quite possibly taking time off over the holidays will be declared racist.

Heck, possibly even winter itself will be declared racist - all that white snow and such. Yet confusingly, global warming will also be declared racist... Climate change: racist. Climate stagnation: oppressing the black man, racist... The ultimate claim of course will be that somehow not being racist for any other reason is in and of itself racist: you obviously don't care enough about race...

Trump's “ beef” was that this jerk father publicly disrespected the President after he used his good personal relationship with the President of China to get three felonious punks out of a Chinese jail. The parents of Otto Warmbier should only have been so fortunate as this ungrateful disrespectful jerk.

Fwiw Trump does NOT let his personal attackers get a pass - unlike the ever noble wimp Bush 43. Even ethnic and gender card holders.

Trumps sarcastic comment was the same thing probably 300 million Americans would say if someone kicked them in the axx for doing a good deed.

Everything is raciss as usual. And Joe wonders why only 117 people watch his stupid lackluster show.

Joe knows about dog whistles since he pretends to be engaged to skanky old dog Mika.

Scarborough: Trump Criticism of LaVar Ball is Racist “Dog Whistle”
___________________________________________

What a weak liar Scarborough is. LOL!

Everyone knows President Trump does NOT pussyfoot around an issue. He’s “always” very direct.

Scumborough needs to try another form of attack because that one is ridiculous.

Larry, I am the author of the original article at FinkelBlog. Governs=Finkelstein.

I make no apologies for excerpting the article for the purpose of encouraging people to view the original at FinkelBlog.

After more than 12 years of blogging at NewsBusters and Legal Insurrection, I’ve recently gone out on my own with FinkelBlog.

There have been considerable expenses with constructing the site. I also pay a monthly subscription for a video feed that allows me to create the YouTubes that I insert in my items. There are also ongoing site-hosting costs.

The excerpted form gives FReepers a good idea of what the article is about. If it sounds interesting to them, I’d appreciate them clicking over to FinkelBlog.

Sincerely,

Mark

Yeah - a paragon of parenting who thinks his son didn’t really do much wrong when he became a thief in another country deserves a lot of defending...and then they wonder why Blacks always seem to be getting the dirty end of the stick.....Priceless!

So, now we know Mika has kicked him to the dog house because nobody else heard it. That or he is pining for Milk Bone sponsorship because he learned that now it is only dogs who watch the show.

Did Mika hear the dog whistle? Just askin'

Am I the only one who sees “LiAngelo,” and thinks of Orangejello and Lemonjello?

Ball’s son LiAngelo

So, is he a father or a freakin' "baby daddy"?

Why didn't he teach his precious "li'l angel"....Thou shalt not steal?

That crap should come with a warning. It does to the ears, what Helen Thomas does to the eyes.

LaVar...Ball’s son LiAngelo

How come the "father" is French, and the "son" is Italian?

(they don't know what they are)
