BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- The fate of Paula Deen's magazine, Cooking with Paula Deen, is still up in the air after a controversy over the Food Network host's use of racial epithets led to the end of her television contract.
"We are not in a position to discuss her magazine and contract right now," said Phyllis Hoffman DePiano, the president of Birmingham-based Hoffman Media, which produces the magazine. "A statement will be forthcoming later."
"We at Hoffman Media do not condone discrimination of any kind," DePiano said.

The Left cannot allow that. Allowing her to be branded a racist, and have her career continue without a glitch would be their nightmare scenario. Other people would then think they can get away with failing to kiss Al Sharpton's ring.
Meanwhile the President of the United States considers his grandmother a “typical white woman.”
The reason we're in the situation that we are in, is because the Right is INADEQUATELY "hateful". Leftists can be as nasty as they want, but any reprisal from our side is "hate".
Screw that.
“We don’t condone discrimination of any kind”: that is unless it is directed at Christians, conservatives or Tea Party members. Then it is okay.
Ah, the real reason.
I’m not a fan of PD. Or her persona. (I’d rather watch reruns of Julia Child or Graham Kerr...heck, even Martha Stewart’s more interesting and instructional than PD.)
However, I did hear part of PD’s explanation that “it was different times” to be reasonable.
The poverty pimps and guilt-instilled liberals are out en masse to protect the racism brand, among other things.
I prefer Schweddy balls myself.
Exactly right!
Everytime I hear “A-A”, I cringe and think JJ is giggling at the world.
“And Lois Lerner the white tea party discriminator.......”
Did LL ever use the the T word, Teab***** ?
The people who say it, are people who don't care about the reaction of the politically correct. That is why lefties' attitude is that such people need to be destroyed.
“White trash” is right....
While I am loath to condemn her. For her “mis-speaking”, I grew up with very old school, Southern, Confederate ancestry relatives who employed black helpers in the house and garden. NEVER did I ever hear any of them refer to ANY blacks by the “n” word...that was trashy.
They used “negro” or “negra”... and always were respectful to all people they inter acted with.
Now I have no problem condemning Deen for being a libtard...no sir!
"Pah croost? Cruimp it witchur taynes!"
What you said...
I know. Her sons are so annoying and so is she. Hate the way she’s always licking her fingers and saying “y’all”. However,I do think she should not have been fired. So what if she used the N word way back when. I thought we had freedom of speech in this country. It’s so wrong that she gets fired over speech and we have Lois Lerner who probably has committed many felonies, taking a paid vacation. Sick. I hope there is a backlash against the Food Network.
happens all the time
I meant the pic of Paula Deen, do you have steel gray hair too? You don’t have to these days, see a colorist
I used to have to work with a manager who was Jewish and her assistant, an Irish Catholic. In a case of too much information, I knew that both of them were lesbians. One day we grabbed some hot dogs from a street vendor outside the offices for a quick lunch. (I know where you think I'm going with this; but wait.) During a prolonged string of slur jokes all of us traded while eating, the Jewish one tried to feed mustard to a silver pendant in the shape of the face of Christ that the Catholic was wearing. Everyone rolled eyes and/or snickered. No one got fired. This was in the 80s.
By the late 90s, people could get fired for using the word "niggardly" to describe a too-small budget allocation.
Whatever happens, from a selfish standpoint, I just hope it results in more Laura Calder!
I respect your opinion, Coach. This thread is a disgrace. For a bunch of conservatives, most of these posters are sounding just like progressives -- if they don't agree with a person politically, then they are unconcerned with her First Amendment rights.
They say you know a person by their enemies. So let's see:
Bill Clinton trashed Lani Gunier, potential Supreme Court nominee
Dubya trashed Martha Stewart, CEO of a large media corporation
Obama trashed Paula Deen, cooking show hostess
