She’s not worth defending.

And yes, I am fully aware that horrible things have also been said with malice by leftists without a slap on the wrist.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day, and ABC was correct in this particular case.

I agree. I have no issue with it.

However, if they violated her contract, I hope she sues the frick out of them.

What's wrong with what she said? Maybe you're just being pithecophobic.

What did people really think would happen when she called someone in Obama's inner circle an ape?

Not unless they fire Jamelle and Olberman.

STFU until then.

Self-censorship is as dangerous as government censorship. Modern America is slowly become Raymond Cocteau's dystopia from Demolition Man.

She didn't call her an ape.

She never said, "Valerie Jarrett is an ape"

She said clearly that if you cross Muslim Brotherhood with a POTA character you would have Valerie Jarrett. That, sir/mam, is describing how she looks. And, she isn't wrong. I will say it one more , all humans came from apes. It wasn't about race but about the way she looks.

Give her a little bigger nose and you have a jihadi POTA.

Agree. And for the same reason that NFL owners can choose not to sign Reid and Kaepernick. If someone represents your company or your brand publicly, private industry has the right to can them or not sign them if they don’t like said message. Just so happens that most of the lefties media hacks who lash happen to spread the same message as their bosses. Also accord: college professors.

Tell me where I said ABC couldn't fire her. Tell me. My problem is that we've become a society so constrained by political correctness that any controversial or revolutionary set of ideas will be self-censored for fear of society's retaliation. This should rightfully terrify anyone who believes in individual freedom.

Anyone defending rosanne is being disingenuous at best. She is an idiot who is being punished appropriately.

And I’m MAGA.
