When the mouth runs amuck ...

[dogtag]

I can't help but wonder why people both male and
female who you might consider to be at least fairly
intelligent, lose control of their mouths the minute
they encounter a microphone. I'm thinking of
Roseanne right now, but with a little thought I could
probably come up with a goodly bunch of others..
Why would she deliberately insult Valerie Jarrett of all
people, or anyone else for that matter, as Jarrett is
an obama lover (maybe literaly - remember when obama
vanished over the Benghazi weekend) so the liberal
media were bound to have hysterics, which they did.
Now her show has been canceled. Whether she said it
in front of a microphone or to someone she thought she
could trust, makes no difference, she said it so I can't
drum up any sympathy for her. Dumb.

Roseanne has never won any awards for being smart. She has done so many off the wall crazy things in the past, that for her to do something off the wall crazy was totally predictable. As far as insulting Valerie Jarrett goes, she didn't... it is impossible to insult a maggot in an outhouse.

people...

Wondered about that myself. Esp. when so many were much more deserving--starting with Moochelle.

Roseanne has always been foul mouthed, intolerant, and irreverent, so what's the big deal about what she does now? Does anyone think she changed just because she now "likes" Trump?

The real surprise to me is that people actually watch the show. Maybe they will now watch Last Man Standing and absorb a little more class.

last man standing is a better show, no doubt about it.

It's ABC that made it a big deal--by firing her. "Foul mouthed, intolerant, and irreverent" was why she was hired in the first place. The kind of insults of Trump that are the staples of SNL & other comedy shows would have been ignored or rewarded.

Maybe now they'll put her on 'The View' opposite Rosie O'Donut?

Help me out here. She said: "“muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj,”

How is this racist? No one would deny the Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization, and Planet of the Apes is about APES, not humans.

Now there may be those who believe apes = blacks, but THOSE people are the racists.

I think it goes to prove the adage, "the first person to level a charge of racism is the real racist."

If you're White, you're a racist.
If you're Black, you deserve reparations.
If you're an illegal you should be able to vote.

On the 1% chance that you're asking a serious question, here is some history on the comparison of blacks and simians.

C'mon Togor....I know you can do better than a "Dear Abby" article. Try Googling terms like Ghetto Ape and Porch Monkey etc etc.

JB for a 1% likelihood that he's asking a genuine question, Vern gets what he gets. Funny thing is given the reputation of Arkansans you'd think he'd know how it goes. I had a boss from Texas that lived on Arkansas jokes. Don't remember but a few and I dare not repeat them for fear of giving offense.

....for fear of giving offense.

Yeah. I hesitated on my post too. But, facts are facts and nobody worries about too much about PC around here. So I let it fly.
