:ohno:

a lot of people disagree with you Roseanne didn't have to be fired

Don't really know what else you can do with a tv personality that makes blatant racist comments about black people? What should've been done?

They canceled Last Man Standing despite having great ratings and Tim Allen saying nothing offensive.

The left is coming for you if you're conservative, whether you offend anyone or not.

Yeah, I feel bad for the cast. Are they considered the poor non working wealthy?

She's still on that talk show the Talk. and has plenty of money.

Goodman has been doing good with Movies

laurie metcalf has Big Bang and was in lady bird, i'm sure she's doing alright

the others not so good. especially the actor that plays her son. He was doing nothing when he get the call to come back.

They can do whatever they want, a show Without Barr ... will be a bust
who's going to watch a show without roseanne ??

What I dont understand is that someone like Bill Maher can say that Trumps mother had sex with an orangutan and Trump was the offspring... and he gets applauded and is still on the air.... Rosanne says almost the exact same thing and its racist...

Liberals and those on the left say we are all from monkeys, then when Rosanne agrees with them, she gets canned... WTH??!!

[h=1]From Madonna to Robert De Niro, how liberal stars often get a pass on outrageous behavior.[/h]The celebration this week of comedienne Samantha Bee, who received a prestigious award Thursday night despite calling Ivanka Trump a “feckless c—” the previous evening, has rankled conservatives and even some moderates, who say that liberal comedians and celebrities are consistently getting a pass for outrageous behavior that would ruin those of a less liberal persuasion.
This comes during a wild week in which ABC swiftly canceled “Roseanne,” its first major hit in years, after its Trump-supporting star Roseanne Barr made a racist and offensive comment on Twitter about former President Obama’s confidante and adviser, Valerie Jarrett.
As for Samantha Bee, despite her slur against Ivanka, and despite President Trump calling for her to be fired Friday morning, she appears to be gliding onward in her career, only losing a few advertisers.

Conservatives have long pointed to what they say is a double standard in entertainment regarding who can get away with using offensive rhetoric. It’s an open question, they say, if a liberal making a racist remark as offensive as Barr’s would have suffered the same repercussions.
“You can say anything you want without consequence if you are a leftist…never Trumper,” conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh said on Thursday.
Comedienne Michelle Wolf, who once called Eric Trump "an abortion,” stirred enormous controversy this spring for mocking White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s appearance at the White House Correspondents Dinner. The result was Wolff emerging as a hero of the #Resistance with a popular Netflix special, even being featured this week in Vogue magazine’s prestigious “73 Questions” feature.

Stephen Colbert was accused of making a homophobic joke when he said about Trump that "the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin's c— holster." A #FireColbert hashtag briefly trended, but he was not punished and remains a top-rated late night comedian.
Bill Maher once joked that President Trump was part orangutan, Jimmy Kimmel has made fun of first lady Melania Trump’s accent and Chelsea Handler has questioned Lindsey Graham’s sexuality while sending an anti-Trump tweet almost every day. None of them have faced any consequences.
Anthony Atamanuik, Trevor Noah, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel, Alec Baldwin, Seth Meyers, John Oliver and the entire cast of “Saturday Night Live” have been lauded and given awards for their Trump mockery, which is often extremely personal and offensive. Showtime's "Our Cartoon President" is an entire animated series dedicated to making fun of President Trump. They are all liberal icons.
Comedian Billy Eichner received over 40,000 likes for tweeting that Bee was being “generous” for calling Ivanka a “c---.”
Amy Schumer once called Trump an “orange, sexual assaulting, fake-college-starting monster," and Margaret Cho compared him to “no ply toilet paper,” referring to him as “trash.”

It’s not only comedians who can essentially get away with whatever they want. It’s all liberal celebrities.
Madonna said back in January 2017 that she thought “an awful lot about blowing up the White House,” but brushed it off as a “metaphor” and avoided any consequences. Actress Sally Field managed to make Bee’s comment seem tame when she tweeted that it was wrong to call the first daughter a “c----,” because that would mean she is “powerful, beautiful, nurturing and honest.”
Keith Olbermann and Jemele Hill have called the president a “Nazi,” and “white supremacist,” but are both still gainfully employed by Disney’s ESPN. Richard Gere compared Trump to Mussolini, George Takei called Trump a “cancer,” Kate Walsh called him an “illiterate, bigoted, misogynistic, racist, rapist” and Cher compared Trump to Hitler and suggested we should “throw him in a volcano.”
Rapper Mac Miller called Trump an “egomaniacal attention-thirsty psychopathic power-hungry delusional waste of skin and bones.”
Chrissy Teigen has been trolling Trump on Twitter for years. Actress Olivia Wilde — whose mother is running for Congress as a Democrat in Virginia — called Trump a “dishonest pig,” Don Cheadle called him a “racist, abusive coward,” Lin-Manuel Miranda said Trump is “going straight to hell” and Robert De Niro went above and beyond most of his Hollywood peers.
“He’s so blatantly stupid. He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a pig, he’s a con, a bully, a bulls—t artist, a mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about… I’d like to punch him in the face,” De Niro said while filming what was supposed to be a non-partisan video encouraging people to vote.

Eminem even got away with mocking Trump supporters who are also fans of his music when he famously rapped, “Any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his, I’m drawing in the sand a line. You’re either for or against, and if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split on who you should stand beside, I’ll do it for it for you with this. F— you.”
One of the only liberal celebrities to suffer serious consequences is Kathy Griffin, who infamously held up a fake severed head of President Trump, displaying it the way ISIS members often present decapitated heads of their victims. Griffin initially apologized for the photo but later retracted the apology and has since spent most of her time criticizing the administration on Twitter. She also said that after initial setbacks, her business as a comedienne is booming.
As for Roseanne, she tweeted Thursday night about her desperate efforts to save her show after her offensive comments, begging ABC execs to work for free and offering to do anything she could to make amends. According to Roseanne, her appeals to ABC boss Ben Sherwood have fallen on deaf ears.
Sherwood, who was described by a network executive as “very ingratiating” but “also deadly,” scoffed at Barr and told her the tweet was “egregious and unforgivable,” according to the actress.

[h=1]Roseanne Barr appears disheveled in first sighting since racist tweet and show cancellation.[/h]
1527866055285.jpg


Roseanne Barr certainly hasn’t had the best week. The shamed comedian said she “begged [Ben] Sherwood at ABC 2 let me apologize & make amends,” before her sitcom was axed.
The 65-year-old was seen on Thursday in Utah, her home state. Barr looked visibly stressed as she was spotted sitting on a curb in a hat, cuffed jeans and flip-flops talking a phone call while smoking a cigarette. The comedian was nearly unrecognizable.

Bill Maher says his Trump-orangutan jokes are not the same as Roseanne's 'ape' tweets



HBO "Real Time" host Bill Maher defended himself Friday night after critics spent part of the week equating his past jokes -- likening President Donald Trump to an orangutan -- to Roseanne Barr's Twitter post about a former adviser to President Barack Obama.


Many of the critics called for HBO to fire Maher, just as ABC fired Barr despite this year's success of her rebooted "Roseanne" comedy series.

During his opening monologue, Maher said four “key facts” made his ape jokes different than Barr’s tweet, in which Barr had referred to Valerie Jarrett, a black woman and former Obama top aide, using an allusion to the "Planet of the Apes" movies.


“One, Trump is an orangutan,” Maher said. “Two, white people have not been subjected to a racist trope comparing them to apes for hundreds of years.”

Maher’s third explanation was that his joke was a response to Trump’s 2013 accusations that President Obama was not born in America and called for the release of the president’s birth certificate.


“And four, I’ve already been fired by ABC,” Maher said, referring to his "Politically Incorrect" program, which aired from 1993 to 2002.


Some of Maher's critics contend he has been able to keep his HBO show on the air because he is a liberal, while Roseanne, “a free-thinking Trump supporter,” was fired.

“Wait, Bill Maher makes comparisons to Trump being a gorilla all the time,” tweeted conservative activist Charlie Kirk, director of Turning Point USA, a nonprofit that says it tries to educate students on "true free-market values."


Maher's comments "get classified as ‘jokes’ by the media and he is of course allowed to keep his show and not have his life ruined,” Kirk said.

But Maher himself is familiar with getting into hot water for inappropriate comments.

ABC canceled Maher’s “Politically Incorrect” in 2002 following comments he made about the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. The comedian argued that “the labeling of terrorists as cowards was hypocritical, and that we [the U.S.] have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away,” Bustle reported.

In an incident last year, Maher apologized after he was criticized for calling himself a “house n----r” on his HBO show. The network later removed his comment from future airings of the episode, calling it “inexcusable.”

A major flaw in his argument is that people have been saying that ALL humans are descendants of apes.... you know... evolution...
