OMG -- switched to Faux News during commercial

[KPN]

and watched Neil Cavuto ask Herman Cain if it had been a liberal entertainer, would ABC have acted so quickly? Can't believe I'm seeing that crap!

Mr 999 answered "Probably not." But to his credit he did say "but that" racist statement would have taken anyone down at some point.

1. herman cain was on the fox biz news station with some blond lady earlier...he must live there.

...but fox news was NO friend of roseannes when they were discussing her. They were desperately trying to put as much space between her and Trump. It was fox biz network that was pandering to all this crap.

2. Were examples provided of liberal entertainers who sent racist tweets?

3. Lol. Right!?

[rurallib]

4. My first thought also

I am guessing maybe some jokes about rich old white guys?

I am surprised it's been 3 hours and we haven't heard Michelle Wolf's name brought up.

5. that's all they do....24/7

6. Cause liberals are known for their racist statements

7. I can think of one liberal that could put herself into that situation very easily

Sarah Silverman. And I, like I'm sure the rest of you, get (and I love) her schtick so she wouldn't say anything as directly racist with no humor in it as Roseanne, but she would be an easy one for conservative media to hold up while screaming, "Hypocrisy!"

8. I think we all remember the calm, measured response to Kathy Griffen

Boy, the conservatives sure gave us a lesson in understatement and restraint there!

9. Check out Twiter. Conservatives think they can enact a double standard...

By convincing HBO to fire Bill Maher. See here's the difference - Maher apologized and owned up to his statement. Roseanne has a long history of it, and that's hardly the worst thing she said.
