If he’s this gutless it’s good he’s gone.

Never apologize. There is no point.

For old times sake can someone post some beer looter guy photos and memes. In honor of Katrina’s “last” victim.

Amen!

Act like you got a pair.

This is just how the left does business.

Smear, lie, gas-light, until GOP gives up.

Katrina “victims” did a lot of damage to Houston. Who is apologizing for that?

Almost 2000 people died in Katrina.

It is not a joking matter today, nor was it a joking matter in 2005.

I agree generally that we shouldn’t submit to their standards, but I can’t think of any coherent standard that would deem it ok to make fun of victims of natural disasters by dressing in a combination of blackface and drag.

Did they stay? A lot that went to Atlanta did as the publix housing and welfare benefits seemed superior. Everywhere the ‘wretched refuse’ of the Crescent City went ‘yearning to breath free’ mayhem with the local blackamoors followed. One of the factors in Baton Rouge's soaring murder rate which went from merely wretched to floridly bad were the recent arrival of ‘Katrina victims’. In Franklinton the disagreements finally ended in a large scale riot, called a ‘disturbance’ the press.

This is how fake news destroys lives.

They railroaded a man out of a job for something he did 14 years ago.

I absolutely despise them.

Why he is crucified for something that happened over a decade ago?

The leftist fascist mob devours its victims and moves on.

And you have spineless Republicans unwilling to face them down and tell them to get lost.

I am sure that is so. The black underclass of the Big Uneasy truly are canaille.

Its a crime for a white person to wear blackface. Its a crime for s white person to wear a red MAGA cap and smile.

The leftist Stasi are triggered by politically incorrect white behavior. Never mind if it isn’t even inherently racist.

You are guilty for being white. White privilege? Ain’t no such thing.

What kind of person dresses as a victim? Can anyone think of any good victim costumes? And as a female minority victim? Family Guy did it to the car crash victim of Laura Bush and it was/is a sickening joke. However, nobody lost there job and people will be watching it for decades.

If satire is a crime, you should execute Jonathan Swift for genocide.

There are humorless dolts in the world and by no means the Left has a monopoly on them.

Blowing up a parody out of all proportion.

Michael Ertel didn’t harn any one. There’s no justification for destroying his life even if you think what he did was in poor taste.

And it happened 14 years ago. Should a man be punished for the sins of his past?

That’s the real question.

Um... Ted Danson did blackface...and is STILL staring, profitably, in Hollywood. Two sets of rules. Selective outrage.
