Since I’m noticing that several posts are being made denouncing John McCain as if he said this, I want to make sure this is made clear to everyone.
The person who defended ABC’s decision, tastelessly I should add, is NOT John McCain, it’s his granddaughter McCain. John McCain AFAIK had nothing to do with this beyond being related to her. So, please, do NOT act like John McCain was the one who said this. He can be blamed for a lot of stuff, but not this one.
Sorry, that was supposed to be “Meghan” in the “it’s his granddaughter” bit.
I lost the little respect I had for this silly girl. Still remember photos of her and her silly mother having their mouths covered with black tape, like in a S&M scene,forgot what it was supposed to represent.
Shut up and go away McAmnesty Roseanne never committed treason as you did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tkBiFZBix0
I never said it was ok because Meghan said it. What does bother me is people making fools of themselves by only reading a headline and then making a comment that shows their ignorance. It makes FReepers look as stupid as liberals.
I coined a new word a decade or so ago, for these not so impressive "intellects."
“McCain on ‘Roseanne’ cancellation: ABC holds employees to higher standard than the White House”
And a higher standard than the voters of the State of Arizona, too, apparently.
Agreed there. I dislike it that Meghan McCain said it myself, and she should be scolded for it. But I would prefer it if people at least realized it was Meghan who said it, rather than jumping in and acting as though her grandpa John McCain was the one who said it. That just makes us look like idiots if we blame her grandpa instead of blaming the one actually responsible.
Sometimes, I really wish that whoever does the titles of these articles makes sure to specify WHICH member of the family said it specifically to avoid stuff like this, instead of simply identifying them by last name in the title. At least there, it would cut down on a lot of these problems.
And don’t get me wrong, John McCain’s definitely done quite a few things that he deserves blame over, but the whole thing about defending ABC’s treatment of Roseanne’s not one of them.
Megan, what talent do you have? You and Chelsea are media stars because of your parents. Why don’t you Shut the F Up...
Shes his daughter.
Fine. Daughter. My point is is that people should stop acting like John McCain said it when he really didn’t. It just makes us look like idiots. If you’re going to blame John McCain for any bad things he did or said, it has to be stuff he himself actually said and did. At worst, the only thing you can blame him for is failing as a parent.
Meghan is his daughter.
As stated before, I stand corrected. But it doesn’t change my point, that we don’t blame John McCain for the defense of Roseanne Barr’s firing. He can be blamed for a lot of things, but not this one. His daughter is to be blamed. At most, the only thing he CAN be blamed for in this instance is failing his duties as a father.
