Didn't think Bill Maher would be right on her... She called an Obama top aide a 'ape' + Muslims Brotherhood had a baby = Valerie Jarrett. XD

Bizarre. This is the first I've heard of this. Haven't watched her new show, don't have TV anymore.

Was she drunk? Not that that's an excuse.

reply

Here's the thing though, I hear way more offensive things on Colbert's show than on Roseanne's show, yet Roseanne's show is the one that gets cancelled. This will hurt the cast & crew way more than it will ever hurt Roseanne. It feels like a double standard, I hope I'm wrong but it feels like it.

reply

You are wrong. Comparing what she said to Colbert’s show or Michelle Wolf’s speech is a false equivalency.

reply

Re: Colbert... No. Just no.

Also this:

Roseanne is an offensive person.

The series of images were originally part of a 2009 article in a “Germany” issue of Heeb magazine, a satirical Jewish publication that ran between 2001 and 2010. (An infrequently updated version of the magazine still exists online.) In the article which originally accompanied these photographs, entitled “That Oven Feelin’,” author Oliver Noble wrote that Roseanne asked to dress up as Hitler for the spread, as she believes (or at least jokingly said that she believes) that she may be the reincarnation of the Führer himself.

The photoshoot stirred up considerable controversy at the time, and from pundits across the political spectrum. Segments on The View and The O’Reilly Factor criticized the comedian for the Hitler-themed photoshoot. Heeb, however, defended the pictures and noted that Holocaust jokes are frequently featured in Hollywood movies, explaining that as a satirical, Jewish publication its goal was to challenge preconceptions.

She also addressed it awhile back:

I am curious as to what you find offensive on Colbert? He makes jokes, but I haven't heard him say anything slanderous or racist.

Maybe in America whites have never been slaves, but plenty of other places in the world have enslaved whites. How about we all just be good to each other as humans instead of trying to divide us as races?

reply

[deleted]

What did I say that offended you? Is the truth a problem for you?

reply

[deleted]

I said everyone should be good to everyone,and you told me to suck it. Somehow I'm triggered? I'm guessing you aren't particularly intelligent or well educated or you are racist who is threatened by someone different than you. Most decent people wouldn't have a problem with suggesting we be good to one another. It's sad that you do.

"America has forgotten the centuries of slavery and oppression..." Hmmmm,that's your quote...,kinda seems pertinent to my reply, doesn't it? Don't get your panties in a bunch because I called out your bullshit post pumpkin. You seem to have real issues with equality. What country are you from? I'd like to avoid anywhere that breeds racist hatred like you seem to have?

reply

[deleted]

I must not be as smart as you,but I'm unfamiliar with the definition of "sarchasm", please enlighten me,for appearantly I'm a fool.

reply

[deleted]

Wait, did you just "no I'm not,you are" me, lol? You must have the same comeback list as my son,but he's only 8,so I expect it from him. What's your excuse?

reply

[deleted]

It wasn't verbatim,but that's what you did,we both know it. Don't be bitter I just owned your ass. Wipe away the tears and move on.

reply

[deleted]

I enjoy cooking,how did you know....or did you mean "chief"? Lol, this is more and more like disagreeing with my 8 year old.

reply

[deleted]

Now your stealing my bit? Are you post stalking me? Truly sad,you unoriginal fuck. And,I said I like to cook, so I was only seeking clarification with the terminology. You seem a bit touchy about the spelling thing though. I apologise, because it sounds like you have a real learning disability,so I shouldn't have gone there,my bad. You're still a sad fuck for trying to steal my post, learning disability or not.

reply

[deleted]

Yawn...weak and lazy and not worth a reply. I see your bag is empty. Good day sir.

reply

[deleted]

I know my wife's secret fantasy was to fuck the world's saddest, unoriginal dipshit,but she was married to me and therefore deprived of accessibility to someone like that. Thank God you came along to fulfill her desires.

Sammy just stop

reply

Funny how race-baiters run rampant on this site, but it's the ones who call them out that get told "stop."

reply

Oh you and your little friend Sammy are one of them. Such a hyprocrite.

reply

[deleted]

Well Frog certainly is

reply

[deleted]

No I hate race baiters, so no, I'm not one of them. Try again.

reply

[deleted]

You wanna keep up with the BS because it's getting old

reply

[deleted]

Acting childish and foolish

reply

[deleted]

Oh idk, telling people to "suck it" when they tell you facts.

reply

[deleted]

When that person you were talking too said that there were white slaves in other places in the world, and you just dismissed it by telling him to suck it. Also, America has not forgotten the slavery and oppression opposed on African Americans, so how dare you assume such a thing!

reply

[deleted]

"America has forgotten the centuries of slavery and oppression orange people with bad comb overs have suffered."
Don't tell me that's not what you meant lmao

reply

[deleted]

Oh sweetie, I know how to fucking read. How about you get a better sense of humor, and stop being ignorant of facts. Have a nice life.

reply

[deleted]

Ok first off, I know sarcasm and you're terrible at it, and second, I'm not a bigot you ignorant fool.

reply

[deleted]

Work at any fast food restaurant or department store and you will see slavery is alive and well. For people to put up with the shit they have to from customers and employers for 7 bucks and hour is pretty deplorable. Just go on Youtube and will see video after video of customers who verbally and physically abuse employees. It is sick.

Troll, go back to your cave where you came from

She's fired and now the show is cancelled. Not unexpected after that tirade and backlash. There goes one of ABC's frontline shows.

reply

Give me firebrand LISA LAMPANELLI everyday, losers!

While her show is cancelled and all liberal workers, writers, etc. on the show fired, she'll explain why the tweet she made isn't racism on Friday with Joe Rogan so tune in for curiosity sake.

reply

I don't get this whole make one mistake, you're ruined for life thing. Don't people get second chances? If this is the model Americans want to go on then all criminals deserve life imprisonment with no second chances.

reply

This wasn't Ms. Barr's first rodeo and it wasn't her first and only offense.

She herself knew she crossed a line otherwise why would she even bother apologizing.

Her singing of the National Anthem in 1990 and her antics then should have given you a clue that Ms. Barr was slightly unhinged. Yet Colin K is being disrespectful by kneeling in a silent protest against inequality?

Personally I don't think she should have lost her job but clearly Ms. Barr is unrepentant and highly opinionated.

reply

I feel ya. Kathy Griffin also got axed for one mistake. It didn't feel right then, and it doesn't feel right now, but at least there is some consistency.

reply

This whole thing is stupid.

I for one think they are allowed a slip and a mistake. Two she obviously didnt mean it.
