ABC cancels Rosanne after tweet
- Thread starter tlwwake

Dam that was quick! See how broadly the same brush is used when someone else does something as dumb.
Screw you rivals!
Anyhoot, Olberman has some zingers on Twitter. (Warning: Very, very offensive.)

Does Roseanne have a substance abuse problem?
She Went way over the line. Of course if she was attacking a conservative she'd get a pass.

She called a black person an ape!! It wasn't just an innocent little tweet.
You sure do like hitching your horse to racist bigots don't you.

Who said it was an innocent little tweet??? Jimmy Kimmels looks to be just as racist as Roseanne. Neither should be on the air.
I haven’t defended Roseanne. For the record, I think she should be fired (no brainer).
But like most things, this will likely backfire on the left as a lot of new people will be researching Valerie Jarrett — and there’s a *lot* to look into.
You be the judge. (Isn't Jarrett Iranian or something like that?)
Does not Jarrett have a connection to the Muslim Brotherhood?

I've been called worse things than that. In fact, I'll bet most of the people in this thread have.
I shift gears and demonstrate a sense of humor; that I'm a walking talking, real life boy.
A telltale sign of the modern lib is how seriously they take themselves and "their" causes and values, and, most egregiously, the rigidity that infects them.
Seriously, interacting with your type (you're kind of an exception) is exhausting. How such a large segment of folks became so stupifyingly dull, robotic, predictable, and devoid of humor is beyond me.
dudes an emotional bed wetter
he gonna of on xanax in the next six years
maga bitches
Great post.
The left transformed (in a very short time) into a similar beast that repulsed most of my generation (X) from the right in the 90s.
IE the anti-fun police, no sense of humor, pro-censorship, anti-free speech, meddling in your private life, takes themselves way too seriously, etc etc etc
All of those characteristics were associated with the (religious) right in the 90s and early 2000’s — and magnified insightfully by witty people (pre-2008) like Jon Stewart (who made it seem cool to support and vote for Obama in 08)
Somewhere along the way though, the left completely lost its sense of humor — quite a few older comedians (Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Ricky Gervais) have talked about this in interviews.
insightful
i thought newt gingrich and his contract with america was a load of crap in college
8 years of otard and newtard seems tame
Spot on.
I remember you getting into it with the board conservatives on a regular basis around 15 years ago.
There's an article on Vice about comedians not booking colleges because of this crap.
Good memory.
I used to debate a good amount of people, like @GunsOfFrankEaton.
Back then, I wasn't exactly a lefty (more socially liberal / fiscal moderate) -- but it was easy to not want anything to do with the Republicans (with their moral majority hypocrites, Larry Craig, Ted Haggard,
combined with the Iraq war catastrophe).
All of those kinds of people were made for Jon Stewart, who completely revolutionized a way of laughing at our political elites for younger people (who were dominated by GOP at the federal level).
The GOP had zero counter for Jon Stewart -- his effect was immense on an entire generation.
I also liked Chris Matthews (around 2005) because he always dropped historical references. And I was a huge Obama supporter from his 2004 Dem convention speech, all the way through the 2008 election.
Where Obama lost me was immediately going into healthcare after his election. I was living overseas in 08, and mostly judged Obama off his huge rally speeches (rather than research).
What got me questioning Obama, was learning the massive list of big pharma lobbyists who helped write the affordable care act bill (all taking place before the economy was fixed).
Those lobbyists were opposite from what Obama ran on -- a big wake up call that got me researching things (instead of reading headlines and listening to soundbytes)
It wasn't instantaneous though, it took me a few more years of being surrounded by progressives (still overseas) and seeing how angry they would get, when you made any sort of soft question that goes against the prevailing left wing narrative -- they generally would get angry that you asked the question, rather than trying to answer it.
This only made me question things more. I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
I genuinely used to think that the left was more tolerant and open minded -- and it may have been pre-2005 -- but it's not any more.
The left's transformation into anti-free speech / thought blows my mind.

I recall the left being more tolerant and open-minded as well around 15-20 years ago (I remember the moderator on this board threatening to ban people for criticizing George Bush around the time of the 2nd Iraq War). But those days are long gone as the first generation of lefties who have grown up on Cultural Marxism indoctrination have taken the reigns of the DNC. The left has morphed into a totalitarian ideology.
Would like to add, the first generation the first generation of Americans who grew up in daycare.
Historically speaking, daycare is still a new thing.
Paul Joseph Watson did a classic video, theorizing that the “daycare generation” is behind the rise of social justice warriors — who seemingly came out of nowhere.
It all went to poop when 'feelings' became the most important thing in our society.
The video directly above your post provides a credible theory about why this occurred (seemingly out of nowhere).
I went to a liberal university in a liberal college town in the 90s, and loved it.
If you went back in time and asked my classmates what they thought of “safe spaces” and “trigger warnings” — nobody would have any idea what you’re talking about.
Hence, this new video of a top Obama advisor on election night.
Edit: Scott Adams breaks it down:

Lots of blame game by righties in this thread and little in the way of criticism of the idiocy of one of their own lol
Par for the course

Probably the ones that keep up with the right wing panic know all about it, but fortunately that is very few.
Yeah? You personally go to a lot of college campuses or do you just watch youtube personalities go nut-picking?
