Annoyed that they had the audacity to criticize Dear Leader Donald Trump, Ingraham literally told them to <em>&#8220;shut up and dribble.&#8221;<\/em> It was just the next step in her crusade to silence anyone with whom she disagreed. Particularly if those dissenters were dark-skinned celebrities. You will never hear her attack crackpots like Ted Nugent or Scott Baio in the same way.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday morning Ingraham lashed again. This time her vitriol was aimed at Sarah Chadwick, a survivor of the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. And it was typical of her censorial tendencies as she tried to shame Chadwick for speaking out. Ingraham tweeted this:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">HOW TEENS SPEAK TO AND ABT ADULTS: \u201cWe shd change the names of AR-15s to \u2018Marco Rubio\u2019 bc they are so easy to buy,\u201d Stoneman Douglas sophomore Sarah Chadwick tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IngrahamAngle\/status\/967064414607368198?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Seriously? Ingraham is outraged that a young adult with her own opinions would challenge an almighty member of the United States Senate. <em>[Here is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sarahchad_\/status\/966924331086266369\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chadwick&#8217;s tweet<\/a><\/strong>]<\/em> Not to mention a young adult who just went through a nightmare and lost close friends and classmates. If anyone has the right to express her thoughts about assault weapons and the failure of the political class it&#8217;s Chadwick. And she took the opportunity to do so in a delightfully snarky response to Ingraham:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m a junior. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/P9clE1ks5N\">https:\/\/t.co\/P9clE1ks5N<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Sarah Chadwick (@Sarahchadwickk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Sarahchadwickk\/status\/967088933795454976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Just brilliant. Chadwick demonstrated that she has far more dignity than Ingraham by not emulating the Fox Host&#8217;s crass smear tactics. It was a succinct reply that conveyed the message that Ingraham&#8217;s ignorance isn&#8217;t really worth wasting time on. And at the same time she trumped the professional <em>&#8220;journalist&#8221;<\/em> by correcting her poor reporting.<\/p>\n<p>This conniption fit by the allegedly <em>&#8220;mature&#8221;<\/em> Fox News shill adds to the pile of insults and slanders that Fox and other right-wing media hacks have been shoveling. There have been ludicrous accusations that the students were paid actors or professional protesters. They have been criticized for being insolent punks who were raised badly. And worst of all, raving conservatives have insisted that they should be disregarded because they are too emotional or too young to have valid opinions.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s the perspective of old fogies who wallow in their ageist supremacy and spend their days pulling out what&#8217;s left of their hair.
