Just got home from having a minor procedure done. First thing I did was check PoliBoard. Saw this news at the top of the page. Immediately turned on Fox to get their spin on it. Learned one thing, and it took only 30 seconds to determine this:

I did not miss Shep during his absence.

He's been in line with all of the other's have been saying since it broke. Greg Gutfield said what she said was racist and stupid and that Twitter brings out the worst in people.

If only abc/cnn/msnbc can now have their anchors and pundits comment about the disgusting comments Olbermann has made toward the president and demand espn fire him.

Gutfield calls it like he sees it and he is right on this one.

She knew there would be huge consequences with that tweet. Its just a case of being edgy going wrong.

No one would have given a shite had she said goat instead of ape.

How so? Her statement seemed pretty spot on to me.

she apologized over 4 hours ago, they don't care. they were probably getting heat because she is a Trump supporter.

The apology was noted in the stories I read. But apologizing for comments after the backlash, doesn’t mean any further consequences of those comments are now disallowed.

Yup.

I in no way want to align with Roseanne. She's a dipshit and a loser.

I have simply been pointing out the extreme double standard.

She's fired for a stupid comment because it goes against today's PC Culture.

However, you can say whatever lunatic dipshit things you want if it's insulting to conservatives or not PC and you won't lose your job.

That's horseshite IMHO.

Do you know how many times during Trump's campaign I watched movie stars, TV stars, and political personalities call all Trump supporters racists, Nazis, rednecks, trailer trash, deplorable, disgusting, etc.....

None of them were ever fired. Because the PC culture is an outlandish double standard that pisses on free thinking.

it was a stupid statement she could have easily said it a 1000 times different. An alien from another planet...

someone else will see she apologized and pick up her show. the show was not allowed anymore politics so it was going to be Darlene having some couples baby for money and Jackie's pussy hat. she should make a final Roseanne movie (like the brady bunch did) and move back to growing pot. Netflix wouldn't pick her up because Susan Rice and the Obama's rule there now...

Oh well...
