Roseanne apologizes to former Obama adviser (again)
Arutz Sheva ^ | 28/7/18

Posted on 07/28/2018 10:45:46 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

Jewish American comedian Roseanne Barr has apologized for her recent “ill-worded” Twitter post about Valerie Jarrett, a former adviser to President Barack Obama, and insisted she isn’t a bigot.

Barr made the comments in an hour-long interview on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show on Thursday, two months after ABC cancelled her sitcom due to that specific tweet and several others deemed to be racist.

“It cost me everything,” Barr said in the interview, as quoted by The Associated Press. “I wish I worded it better.”

Hannity repeatedly urged Barr to apologize to Jarrett on air. The comedian eventually did, saying that she was sorry for the poorly worded tweet. She added she would tell Jarrett, “I’m sorry that you feel harm and hurt, I never meant that. I never meant to hurt anybody.”

She repeated her assertion that she did not know Jarrett was black when she likened Jarrett to a cross between the Muslim Brotherhood and a “Planet of the Apes” actor.

Shhh. Don’t remind them. Then all that will remain is bit torrent downloads. Anyway, they’re either politically neutral or left wing. Even so, the verisimilitude makes them universal.

I wouldn’t be too sure of that. She has a habit of burning herself up and then doing the phoenix thing. That’s been going on for 30 years.

Actually, ValJar looks more like she was caught in a childhood fire than anything resembling Planet of the Apes.

Habit? Her first show ended in 2004 and she was 14 years in obscurity before the reboot. Now she's back in obscurity for what, another 14 years?

Barr isn't really one to criticize another woman's looks.

She's had 4 television shows, I believe. Two talk shows besides the world-wide phenomenon that was the original Roseanne Show and its reboot. In between that, many film & tv appearances (including voice overs which is why you may think she lingered in obscurity). Not bad for a multimillionaire with a macadamia farm in Hawaii.

ValJar deserves every epithet thrown at her - including remarks about that very odd face.

If you say so.

I agree that Jarrett deserves criticism for her positions, but if all you've got is insulting her looks then that's pretty pathetic.

I don’t say so. A simple look at her resume will update you.

I admit that it does sound mean and petty, but “they” have been playing using Alinsky rules and it’s time we used their tactics to fight back. Being Mister Nice Guy doesn’t work most of the time.

“RIDICULE is man’s most potent weapon.”
“Pick the target, freeze it, PERSONALIZE it, and polarize it.”

And, as you said, she deserves criticism for her positions as well.

A show on Nick at Nite and a radio show. Breathtaking.

Oh, you peeked! Perhaps you can do the same at finding my “defense of Jefferson Davis” posts that you claim I’ve made, lol.

Just watched her hour long interview on Sean Hannity. Despite all her nuttiness, she remains an intelligent and creative person. Sean’s an idiot but we all knew that.

Watched the whole interview last night. She seems to be getting over the groveling-and-begging-forgiveness stage, and was pointing out the MSM’s open dishonesty and viciousness. She might just make it, although it’ll take a while for her to live down some of the really dumb things she said on the air about this whole matter. I’m hoping she puts these f@#$s on the defensive before she gets much older.

Sean was less egregious than he has been. Seems that, while I have my doubts about his IQ, too, he was in contact with her when she was hiding in her mom’s basement, saying encouraging, supportive things and such. He has heart. I’ll give him that.

We can do Alinsky, too. And Trump could take Alinsky back to school.

I have a feeling Trump studied Sun Tzu in military academy. “The Art Of War” probably outranks “Rules For Radicals” every day of the week when it comes to strategy.

Yeah, I just think Sean is not Phil Donahue! And I hate that confessional tone he adopted.

But, all and all, it was a good interview. She’s so rich she can do whatever she wants.

Then there’s also Musashi’s Five Rings of Power. I think he’s read all of them, whereas the leftards only have Alinsky. In a war of wits, they run out of ammo.
