Yeah, there's a glaring double-standard. It's brazen. The Left embraces its own sanctimony and makes no apologies for it. They want it this way.

That said, what Roseanne said on Twitter was just plain foolish. And racist. It was just as wrong as Olbermann's repeated, mentally unhinged, vile vituperation.

It's not fair that he gets a pass. He should have been canned with prejudice, or at least publicly disciplined. But we all know why he wasn't.

Nobody should be surprised at the outcome today.

Surprised? No, of course not.

Glad it is being pointed out? Yes, of course.

Disappointed in your acceptance of this? Honestly, I don't know you.. but as a fellow citizen.. yes, your willingness to accept the double-standard is troublesome.

Legit suffered a head injury years ago. I'd say it's still causing him problems.

Hey idiot. Keith works for ESPN not disney. It's an entirely different company. ESPN is a subsidiary that Disney collects the $ from but outside of installing the board has no input. I wish you'd research before you posted.

as well as its 50% stake in A&E Television Networks and its 80% controlling stake in ESPN, Inc.[6][7] While holding the controlling stake in ESPN, Disney–ABC and ESPN operate as separate units of Disney Media Networks.[8]

I wish MSNBC would open up the wallet. “Countdown” was a great show during the Bush/Chaney years. It would be over the top with all the trump shenanigans going on right now. Worse, worser, worst!!!!

Somewhere Katy Tur is holding a mirror up to her vagina and wondering to herself "What in the hell was I thinking?"

TJGator1215,

In your opinion, why is Olbermann still employed by ESPN, when Curt Schilling was fired for making a post made to one of his social media accounts?

Keith Olbermann is such a huge pudding that I doubt he has the balls to pull something like that off. He's always been a weak man with a fragile ego.

Then again he's so full of himself he probably expects women to throw themselves at them at any time and probably cries himself to sleep if he gets rejected.

Yup. All the left bitches about is how much they want equality. So an event like this happens, I point out the obnoxious inequality, and I get called a fricking idiot and moron by all these progressives and told that equality is bullshite because black people are inherently unequal.

The delusional hypocrisy rampant among progressives is impressively pathetic.

Good for keef. Keep stirring that shite, brah. Trying to be polite and reasonable doesn’t work these days. In fact, it’s disdained and considered to be “beta”

I don't accept it. I hate it, as a matter of fact. Its ubiquity doesn't diminish how outrageous it is. So it's fine to point out the double-standard. But it seems to me that we ought to be way past the point of shocked stupefaction at this phenomenon.

And there's something very simple that Roseanne could have done to avoid this whole flap:

"When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent." (Proverbs 10:19, ESV)

"Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent." (Proverbs 17:28, ESV)

"Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves." (Matthew 10:16, ESV)

We need to pick our battles. There are free speech hills worth dying on. Likening Valerie Jarrett to an ape isn't one of them.

I think that we are beginning to see the outline of the shape of this Totalitarian Regime that the Globalist Left plans for us here in nation-state USA.
