I think that the putative “right”, at the highest levels, values the gravy train and not much else. With them, it’s not good manners, it’s complicity.

I can't feel bad for the rest of the cast. The newcomers got experience and can move on from the there. The rest of the returning cast either had other careers to go back to, or got a one-season revival of their careers thanks to Roseanne. There was no guarantee that the season would be the hit that it was, so I hope they enjoyed the ride while it lasted. A show coming back like this is unprecedented, so it was bonus work for them.

Whether another network sees the money train and decides to pick up or Roseanne or whether it's become so toxic no one will touch, neither option would surprise me.

As we all know, Liberals possess a racial social threshing machine that is constantly churning at full power. This racial threshing machine is explicitly designed to immediately destroy all nearby flesh. Until the Liberal’s machine of death is dismantled, one needs to be wise enough to stay away from the hacking blades and not get thrown in it.

“I think its possible for the show to continue

Rename the show “The Connors”

Write in her death as a story line

Heavily ignore her previous existence in every episode

I’m sure they’d love to continue the cross-dressing boy and other story lines”

They could make it that the Trump admin was somehow responsible for Roseanne’s death and now the whole family has gone MSNBC leftist and hates him. Make the cross dressing gender confused gay kid the focus of the show. That should get them all the lefty brownie points they need to stay on the air forever.

‘If I’m not mistaken, there were many times President Bush was referred to as a “monkey”

big difference; Bush is a white male...look, we all might as well just face it that black females are going to be running things for a while, a long while...and the entire time they’re enjoying their ‘supremacy’, they will be screaming about oppression, and getting even more goodies tossed their way...

Animalization of groups was done long before white Europeans discovered black people.

Racism is denigrating an entire group. If you called all blacks “apes” then you are a racist.

Calling a single person an “ape” is an insult. Just as calling George W Bush a “chimp” was an insult.

Why?

Because when you call one person a name, you do not know what is in the heart of that person.

If I called Valerie Jarrett a “dog”, am I a racist, an islamophobe or a misogynist? She is a member of all three groups, but you do not know why I called her a “dog”, therefore, I cannot be any of the three. I simply insulted her.

It is time we stop allowing the dilution of the term “racist” by those who cannot debate or take an insult.

Yes. She should have known that Freedom of Speech only applies to liberals! /sarc

The caterers? What caterers? The show was filmed at ABC studios which has its own commissaries run by full-time employees. You’re thinking of movies. No janitor has been harmed in the making of this tv show, lol.

Yes, the left uses the racist accusation like an all-purpose cudgel against conservatives, but they never, ever apologise for their own anti-white racism. We have got to stop letting them define our every thought and utterance, where do they get off?

This whole thing reminds me of when Jerry Falwell slammed Desmond Tutu.

It was almost impossible to find the actual quote, but everyone was quick to condemn Falwell with all sorts of slander. He was absolutely vilified by the press of all stripes. We didn’t have the internet then so it was hard to find what he actually said. Naturally, I just assumed it must have been pretty bad, but was frustrated that nobody was reporting what he actually said. Then one day I found it. Here is the offending remark:

‘’If Bishop Tutu maintains that he speaks for the black people of South Africa, he’s a phony.’’

The thing is, not only did he say, “if”, but it was a true statement. The majority of blacks in South Africa were Zulu, and Tutu most definitely did NOT speak for them.

And in this case, here is Rosanne’s original tweet:

muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj

Where is the racism there. She is not talking about race. She’s talking about two sub-cultures. She is slamming an individual person (Valerie Jarrett), rather than any race.

And the first one to mention race is the racist.

Always thought Roseanne was a leftist playing to Conservatives. Hated her so-called “humor”. Always liked John Goodman though...

All of these are valid concerns, but that doesn’t change the fact that FAR-LEFT Roseanne did something stupid. Calling black people apes is extremely bad taste and shouldn’t be something that is defended. Sometimes things just are like they are. Mean spirited jokes about blacks being apes are not okay. Jokes about Jews and gas are not okay. Then again jokes about the Irish and potato are acceptable, but mean jokes about Bobby Sands and cheesburgers are very bad taste. She was pretty f-ing dumb to do that.

But what of the usual freepers who always want good taste and polite responses to vile, harsh rhetoric? I mean, they are defending Valerie Jarrett!!

They don’t live in the swamp.

Conservatives have different free speech rights than liberals. It’s wrong but true. Roseanne miscalculated. If she was trashing a conservative, she could say anything, including racial attacks.

Or it was all professional wrestling and she took a dive playing a broad caricature of what a Trump supporter is like, especially behind closed doors.

She’s always been a loud mouthed lout.

She posed in a nazi outfit baking gingerbread man cookies once.

And people forget her spit take version of the National Anthem at a baseball game.

Some suggested after the reboot but long before this that she was the new “Archie Bunker”.

And it’s an image built on a fantasy. The woman is a self-avowed Socialist, which does not in the least bit describe the average Trump supporter.

‘There is no law against free speech!!’

she was perfectly free to make this comment; and she was perfectly free to accept the consequences of it; if you’re invoking First Amendment protection, it has nothing to do with this situation...

Roseanne is playing the game. She exposed VJar and Ambien.
Val is caught up in the Iranian probe. Ambien is a barbituate often used as a “truth serum.” MKUltra, anyone? She is calling out Big Pharma on harmful drugs. Should be coming up for exposure shortly.
God bless, Roseanne!

Mark Davis is one of the most pro-Trump hosts on Salem Radio. You can count on him to thank God for Trump nearly every day on his show.
