ABC was looking for a reason to ax ‘Roseanne,’ Herman Cain says
Fox Business ^ | 5/29/18 | Fox Business

Posted on 05/29/2018 12:53:37 PM PDT by conservative98

Cain said ABC executives likely didn’t expect the show, or its support for President Donald Trump, to be so popular and needed to find a reason to get rid of it.

“I understand them using this as an excuse,” he said. “Yes, it was racist. Yes, it was distasteful. And she vehemently apologized.”

Someone needs to point out that islam is NOT a race.
And a little tidbit for you mooselimbs out there, the original muslims are semites, yes exactly like the jews.
As some might say they’re brothers with another muther.

How was it racist, Herman?

...

That’s my question, too.

that’s nuts. If they wanted to cancel it, why did the invest in it and subsequently extend it. Herman’s smoking crack.

Moral of the story. Pick your targets carefully.

You don't cancel your BIGGEST show over what Roseanne tweeted!

They were looking for a reason to cancel the show!

The silver lining is that the Roseanne show, besides being supportive of Trump on purely pocketbook issues, was also pushing transgenderism hard with the creepy son that liked to wear dresses.

I believe that the left is OK with conservatives who only care about pocketbook issues. They're like the Tories in England: they can be depended on to fold toward socialism every time a crying baby is put on the telly.

There are lots of so-called conservatives, especially libertarian and some Tea Party types, who really only care about jobs and taxes. If they care about issues like immigration its because they believe that illegal immigrants have a bad impact on jobs and taxes.

So Roseanne was someone that the left could ultimately embrace. Why she tweeted was she did was beyond comprehension. A couple more years of pushing the tranny agenda and she would have become one of their patron saints.

She wasn’t referring to VJ’s color, I believe, but the strange hairdo she had for awhile (Planet of the Apes look, where the hair is strangely swept back from the face and then puffs out). Michelle Obama had a similar hairstyle for awhile, and it looked even worse on her.

the original muslims are semites,

I think the Original Muslim was funded by a Catholic Nun.

Why wasn’t lena Dunham fired for advocating the extinction of white men? That’s far far worse.

I don’t know that I buy Herman’s theory. ABC must have known what they were getting when they green-lighted the reboot.

Waste of time trying to put a conservative character on liberal channels. Way past time somebody puts together conservative alternatives to everything in the media. Whoever does will cash in big league.

Ms. Ryan was serious and is associated with a ‘news’ channel CNN.. Rosanne, a comedian though I am not a fan was JOKING about VJ.

Double standard much?

I have been thinking hard about this — examining from every angle I can think of.

Bottom line: this was as ill-advised. Any and every white person knows comparing blacks to apes is verboten and, yes, racist.

Rosanne will pay some for her mistake but the cast and supporting members of her show moreso.

Tweet in haste, repent in leisure.

My two cents and now I am ready for incoming flames.

‘Cain said ABC executives likely didn’t expect the show, or its support for President Donald Trump, to be so popular and needed to find a reason to get rid of it.’

Precisely, and in a single sentence.
