Perhaps a smarter friend can explain how that killing six million Jews, as she stated. is humor.
Get real. Get a life. Read history.
PS: Twenty-three members of my family were murdered by Nazi’s during the Holocaust. Nothing is humorous or satirical in anyway to me about that!
..................
Rosanne is hardly worth bandwith. IMO she's clearly being sarcastic though I base that primarily from her history, not this statement on it's own. She doesn't say it in a very sarcastic way. I suppose a reader, not an awful lot of FR commentators but others could understand it She coupled her Holocaust fallacy with the the fallacy that Biden got 81 million votes by winning 36 counties Two clearly false statements. Clearly sarcasm, though imo not clear enough.
She must be aspiring to a political office. It’s like Biden bragging about the state of the economy and then trying to take credit for it!
Your comments regarding the humorless Roseanne Barr’s, judgement regarding topics of political satire are correct. I’d add that to the extent they’re taken seriously they’ll be turned against not only Roseanne, but the political right.
Good grief, who is so obtuse they can’t understand such obvious sarcasm?!? Talk about a non-story.
Thank you. At least someone gets it.
For the third time - political satire is NOT about humor or entertainment. It is about serious things like genocide, tyranny, human trafficking, perophilia, stolen elections, political and media corruption - you name it.
Satire is a way of using poignant outside-the-box imagery to get through to brainwashed and intellectually lazy people, by confronting lPC narratives and group-think.
For example, “making fun” of the Biden’s’ sexual perversions is not meant to be funny or entertaining at all. Far from it - it is meant to wake people up and draw attention to the sad fact that we have a pervert in the White House.
No one is making light of your tragedy. In fact, she was doing the opposite, but you refuse to see it, or are unable to.
I’m very sorry for your loss, but that is no excuse for being dense when the explanation has already been given.
Don’t waste any more of my time repeating the same non-sequiturs.
Mel Brooks pretty much owes his career to the Nazis.
It was not satire or sarcasm. When she added “kill the Jews” it went way beyond that. Sorry you’re so anti-Semitic.
SJackson, thank you for the ping.
I was just told about the following short video so I thought I’d share the info.
