That's why experts recommend adding racist tweets to your disaster preparedness kit.

So how long until Fox picks it up?

Here's her twitter feed, you could see this coming for miles:
https://twitter.com/therealroseanne

I'm wondering why ABC executives even took the bet. hell, this in't even the first time she has called a black woman an ape.

Yeah, that was surprisingly fast, I just saw the tweet a couple hours ago. WTF.

I'm glad there are still some people in this country not operating on the "the Dumpster did it, so there's nothing wrong with it" principle.

I mean, it's Roseanne. They probably had the termination papers all drawn up ahead of time, just in case.

Right? I mean, you hire someone for a public-facing position who once made the whole country lose its shit when she insulted the national anthem and freakin' baseball, you better have her walking papers, your press release, and your letter of apology to the Mom and Apple Pie lobby all spell-checked and ready to go in your top drawer before you even bring her in for the second interview. That's just basic business sense.

That was shot for a piece ins Heeb magazine. Heres an article talking about it. http://jewishjournal.com/uncategorized/71658/

Heres an episode of the green room with paul provenza, with roseanne bar. Its funny, and she discusses it.

The Green Room 1.2 - Patrice O'Neal, Bob Saget, Roseanne Barr, Sandra Bernhard


So i think there is some nuance, but to be honest i think as she's gotten older she's veered right like dennis miller.

Maybe its me but dressing up as Hitler and putting Jews in an oven just ain't any more funny than calling black people monkeys

How about for funsies you argue how they're different. You can even use some of the links i put up as a resource. I can even get you started.

The picture with the ovens, was done for a jewish magazine, here is a statement from the publisher. http://heebmagazine.com/_heeb_-publisher-comes-clean-on-barr-brouhaha/4502

The twitter screed, is just Roseanne going full tilt wackadoo right wing. Theres no punchline. This isn't a kramer yelling nigger during a bombing performance kind of fig leaf. It is what it is.

There is a difference in intent between the two. If you want to argue whether or not its funny. I'm meh about the hitler ginger jews myself.

But why nestle a valid argument in a snide, condescending framing only to end up agreeing that humour is subjective?

Because arguing on the internet is a pointless waste of time, so if you're going to do it anyway you might as well have some fun with it?

Yea because Jews being put in ovens by somebody dressed up as Hitler is fucking hilarious... especially when done but a blatant racist and bigot. And before you tell me how Jewish she is so Stephen Miller and he is just as much a bigot.

I'm not going to argue than it's fucking hilarious, because I don't think Roseanne has ever managed to be fucking hilarious at any point in her career. But this joke no more about killing Jews as "why did the chicken cross the road" is about animal cruelty.

Yea why would anybody think that some dressed like Hitler putting jew cookies in an oven in anyway has something to do with a concentration camp.

Because everybody know the ol Adolf was known for his baking..I hear his scones were to die for.

Dude.

You just ended a comment about how you couldn't see the humor in a joke about Hitler baking with a pretty solid joke about Hitler baking.

To show the absurdity of it.

Not because you hate Jews?

Just not a big fan of bigots making jokes about genocide no mater the race or religion. My sarcasm about Hitler shown as a sympathetic person is absurd was just that, maybe I should have used the /s

So it sounds like we've established a few things here:

1) It's possible to joke about Hitler without being pro-Hitler. You just did it.

2) The image of Hitler baking cookies is absurd.

3) Just because a joke references genocide ("His scones were to die for") doesn't make the joke about genocide.

Congratulations, you understand Roseanne's joke. Because you just made it yourself.

So you like Hitler.

Seriously I can not let this shit become any more normalized than it is..

I detest Hitler and everything he stood for and how dare you accuse me of liking a vegetarian!

Yeah, that's probably what Roseanne was thinking.

And she'd be right. She's a lousy comedian with a shitty worldview, but I seriously doubt she's delusional enough to think anyone was going to read that tweet and go, "Gosh, you know what? Roseanne is right! I'm going to become a right-wing racist too!"

The hitler photograph i don't think is a valid criticism. I've listed why. The rest of her twitter feed is her own worldview, nakedly far right. She trots out the george soros was a nazi as a orphaned child bit. That shit is %100 wingnut.

So humor being subjective doesn't really apply, because one was a joke, the other is not. I tacked that on at the end because its a throwaway. Its my opinion, but it doesn't really matter because its not an apples to apples comparison.

The snark is because the response was lazy. It just conflated the twitter with the heeb pictorial despite me bringing up supporting links. You figure it would warrant a peek. Fine. Shits a one way street, im at least get a giggle out of this.

Oh, come on! Hitler has been dead for almost 75 years, it can't still be too soon to make fun of him!

You think the problem is over?

That was nine years ago, and would fall into the category of making fun of one's own culture. Roseanne is Jewish and pic is from a spread in a satirical Jewish magazine ("Heeb")

Oh, and, yes, it did cause a shitstorm among some Jews (and others) when it came out.

Roseanne was back on TV? When was this? LOL.

Im wondering when dumpster is going to politicize this.

In 3.2.1. . .

Well he is in a rally tonight in a deep red area. My guess is this goes one of three ways.

1. Is he going the way of Sean Hannity and say what she said was outrageous?

2. Go with Charlotte and say there are Good people on both sides

3. Or just go with I love Rosanne

4. all of the above.

5. Make it about himself.

And we have a winner

"Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that “ABC does not tolerate comments like those” made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call"

You have a link for this?

Ah i see, the wording was weird i thought it was a hannity quote or something. But no. Thats how donald writes.

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1001848460881035265

So it must still be too hot for even Trump...not a word...crickets.

She'll be fine. Fox News will probably hire her as a commentator.

Plus, she's rich as fuck, unlike everybody else who lost their jobs as collateral damage.

Her father is African American and her mother is one fourth African American, they were both Americans. Her father was chair of pathology at Nemazee Hospital in Shiraz, Iran as part of support from University of Chicago and the agricultural research community.

she is black and american.

Haven't you learned already? That's far too complicated for the little Fishy.

[Score:-5 Unworthy Self Link]
blah blah blah she was born in iran so she is iranian blah blah i thought the left didn't see race blah why do you call her black if she is mixed blah blah the left are the real racists blah blah why are you afraid to intellectually engage my points blah

Just to get to the inevitable.

fish-puppet is just doing the same ol' same 'ol - pointing to irrelevant facts to create a narrative that doesn’t exist. It isn’t about facts, It’s about obscuring the reality by throwing out red herrings. It’s a common tactic for garden variety trolls and one which most of us find no point in engaging with, because (one of many examples) when someone stoops to defending people who murder unarmed teenage protesters there is really no need to take them seriously.

How's that beautiful border wall coming along? Still haven't figured it out yet? That everything Trump says is a ruse, designed to get the weak-minded to revere him as "strong" even though he can't even lift his fat ass off the couch away from cable TV?

you post this as if lots of people here think Bill Maher isn't a giant ass.

"Whatever you do, conservatives, please don't get Bill Maher fired! We'd just cry and cry."
- Br'er Lib

"i want Bill Maher's big dumb vector straightened next"

me, several years ago now. Time flies.

I haven't paid any attention to what he's done since Politically Incorrect, but I used to think he was pretty funny. And a giant ass.
