Frank Luntz Wants World Series Boo-ers 'Held Accountable'

There's no crying in baseball, as Tom Hanks said in "A League of Their Own."

But apparently Frank Luntz thinks North Korean-style demands for loyalty to "Dear Leader" in baseball is perfectly okay.
Luntz graced the soundstage of Ingraham Angle Monday night to declare that (not making this up) the baseball fans at Game 5 of the World Series should be "held accountable" for booing Donald Trump.

FRANK LUNTZ: The fact is, they should hold those fans accountable. Don't boo the president! You may disagree with him, you may say that he's not what you wanted, but you don't boo him, you show respect for him. And I'll tell you something, I think this event is going to have an impact...

LAURA INGRAHAM: It's huge! It's going to be a campaign commercial.


A campaign commercial for WHOM, Laura? Anyone with their panties in a twist over Trump getting booed at a baseball game is long gone into the Trump cult.

Trump got such mileage from the "Lock her up!" chant that having it thrown back in his face - especially in face of the unending evidence exposed during the impeachment hearings - has got to throw him.

Fat Donnie is always tweeting about being "your favorite president." It must have been a shock for him and his minions to learn how he's really viewed outside the conservative bubble.

As Mulvaney said, "Get over it!'

If it wasn't so serious, it would be funny just how hypocritical these scuzballs are. Irony is, the chant used at that game was coopted from Trump's own speech and turned back on him. Also humorous is that these peolle call people to their left "snowflakes," just as they themselves are melting. Luckily this isn't North Korea yet, and citizens are still free to voice their displeasure with a would be dictator's disgusting deeds.

I think showing a stadium full of people clamoring for their man's incarceration is probably NOT going to encourage their base to go out and vote, even their Republican-programmed voting machines give Republicans 110% of their real total, as usual (or 500% of their real total, as in that one precinct in Ohio in 2004).

Show him respect, luntz moans? Does he mean, bow, clap, and pretend that everything is just fine? The pResident goes from ivory tower to tower, then golf$, then leads a hate rally with a gallon of hand sanitizer hidden in the podium. He’s a disgrace to the office he holds, and deserves to hear some negative feedback when he singularly wanders from his comfy environs.

We the people are, by law, supposed to be the ultimate bosses of our elected officials. It’s called DEMOCRACY.

But the Dotard has a delusional contempt for anyone who doesn’t bow in supplication to his “stable genius.” He’s worse than a miserable failure— he’s a goddamned traitor who traffics in lies, shady dealings and illegalities. Time and again, he and his cult followers have called for punishing their political “enemies.” They envy Russia for its toxic mix of totalitarianism and oligarchy— the ONLY formula by which today’s Republican Party can remain in power.

Respect? Respect for what, exactly? It would take a couple of hours to write down most of the solid reasons why this “thing” in the White House does NOT deserve a single mote of respect.
