Let’s call it progressive peer-group privilege.
The older I get, the more firmly I’m convinced of a fundamental psychological fact. We never really leave high school. Of all the forms of pressure that one can apply to a person — political pressure, market pressure, moral pressure — the one that matters most of all is the one that mattered in the lunch room when you were wearing your class ring and letter jacket. It’s peer pressure, the unbreakable bond of the high-school clique.
No reasonable person thinks Samantha Bee would still have a job at TBS if she used the same terrible language to insult Chelsea Clinton or Michelle Obama. No reasonable person believes that MSNBC would stick with a conservative for so long in the face of anything like the steady drumbeat of outrageous revelations (excused, in part, by dubious claims of hacking) about Joy Reid’s old work.
From the outside, looking in, the easy explanation is to simply say that it’s pure ideology. Progressives are more forgiving of fellow progressives. They’ll look for reasons to excuse their behavior when, if the tables turn, they’ll look for reasons to magnify their opponent’s offense. Yesterday, I was a guest on Wisconsin Public Radio, and a caller challenged my comparison of Roseanne’s racist tweet and Bee’s grotesque expletive by saying that Roseanne was calling back to centuries of oppression. Yet, as my colleague Charlie Cooke notes today, if Sean Hannity had used the same language as Bee did, it would be cast as The Handmaid’s Tale come to life, reflecting some sort of deep-seated conservative desire to subjugate the female body.

Samantha Bee needs a hive collapse.
Som-”B”.
Release the MITES!
Lib privilege?
if you hate Trump, you can do anything.
Now don't let our Sessions feud get in the way of your analysis of whether or not Samantha Bee is viable in between the sheets...
She can grin all she likes. However when you viciously and crudely attack the daughter of a man like Trump, eventually despite your friends and position, you will pay a significant price.
How many chances does she get?
Whateves! Bye Felicia!!
Her price paid will result in more disgust of the Democrat message in 2020...
If a conservative were in the same boat, nothing is acceptable except losing their job and being branded with the reputation as a racist, nazi, gun loving, woman exploiter and children hater. Ask some lacrosse players how that apology thing worked for them.
Who is this nothing? She should be home breast feeding. This would be doing something for her worthless life.
“We never really leave high school. “
I was going to say Middle School but okay...
Canadian-born college dropout insults our President, our traditions, tells us how to run our lives.
Thanks, anyway.
“Oh, she’s very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore her. They think she’s a righteous dudette.”
She favors aborting her baby, rather than being rejected for trying to breast feed it. (Which, if Darwin is correct, may be a good thing.)
That picture looks as if she sat down on her c**t and it blew the gasket.
“She should be home breast feeding.” Prolly nothing in them thar boobs but air and silicon.
Her ratings good??
