MelzezDoor posted..."In 2003, I wrote a New York Times bestseller called 'Shut Up & Sing,' in which I criticized celebrities like the Dixie Chicks & Barbra Streisand who were trashing then-President George W. Bush. I have used a variation of that title for more than 15 years to respond to performers who sound off on politics. Ive told Robert DeNiro to 'Shut Up & Act,' Jimmy Kimmel to 'Shut Up & Make Us Laugh,' and just this week told the San Antonio Spurs Gregg Popovich to 'Shut up & Coach.' If pro athletes and entertainers want to freelance as political pundits, then they should not be surprised when theyre called out for insulting politicians. There was no racial intent in my remarks - false, defamatory charges of racism are a transparent attempt to immunize entertainment and sports elites from scrutiny and criticism. Additionally, we stated on my show that these comments came from an ESPN podcast, which was not the case - the content was unaffiliated with ESPN." Well said. Also, gee what a surprise, she gets up in arms about all these people with different political views than her! Perhaps she should take a stand against her own network, which has frequently featured such well qualified guests as: Ted Nugent - musician Curt Schilling - athlete Kid Rock - musician Clint Eastwood - actor, director Donald Trump - real estate mogul, reality tv star and plenty of others --- ***not actually a communist, only dirty on occasion ...
