I fall on the side of folks who don't care for celebrities who use ugly behavior, divisive rhetoric and racism to pump up their ratings to put more cash in their pockets.

If FOX and the folks who like the kind of propaganda bullshit that FOX disseminates on a minute by minute basis feel so strongly about cancelling that show then FOX can stream it from their own servers to cater to those folks who like the kind of racist entertainment that Roseanne offers up and let FOX bear the burden for Roseanne's repugnant racist behavior.
You realize that's how Trump became President. POTUS and his ilk are still doing it

So much for comedians can say anything and it's OK because they're... comedians.

Obvious hypocrisy aside, she's absolutely free to say anything - she did, and she's still happily living a pretty comfortable rich lady life. She's just also free to have her show cancelled. That poor persecuted Roseanne. A true martyr.

I never watched the show but heard that it was pretty good.
Was it good television?

I'm not convinced the entire cast would follow her.

Uh, she wasn't crafting a joke.

Also love your quote. While I'm pretty sure none of it applies to you, either, it shows that you haven't watched the show, which really is Rosanne's version of "Trump's America."

Her grandson is very "gender confused." You could learn something from this stuff, but you won't. This is because you are a stubborn old idiot.

I liked the first two episodes. Forgot to watch after that. I find it difficult to watch sitcoms these days. Not that anything has changed with them--but maybe that's the problem. The format is rather grating to me. I think I'm done with it.

I feel bad for all the real middle class people who worked on her show. Dumb bitch.
I'm sure anyone who worked for her/the show were white knuckling it through every day. Any adult involved with the show was all to aware of her volatility.

Guys all she wanted to do was tweet racial slurs at people without consequence.

Why is life so unfair to conservatives. They are the true victims here.

Sad but true. Those folks have a beef with the world in general and Trump gave them targets that they could lay all of their grievances and self-inflicted troubles on. And oh, what a coincidence it is that he could win and possibly keep his presidency by doing that.

But they also worked on it and will now be out of work for a while. We all work on stuff we dont agree with from time to time. Thats the difference between a professional and a hobbyist.

Fun Fact: While the rest of the media is calling the tweet racist, Fox is calling it "Racially charged". What do you want to bet she angles this as the "deep state" rising to suppress her free speech? Could get her show picked up on Fox where ratings will skyrocket even higher.

Comedians can say anything they want, as surely as anyone else. It is not like the state is imprisoning her for her speech. But as someone being paid by a company to produce a product, is it not that private business' right to terminate said employee for any reason they want?

She compared Obama aide Valerie Jarrett to a cross between "the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes". This was after insulting Chelsea Clinton, George Soros' family and Jews in 2 earlier tweets.

I suggest she plead insanity. Anyone who professes that !@#$ is mentally ill.

I think this is just another part of why conservatives of the current era feel so "victimized" by the world around them. As mentioned over and over again, the open access to people and information has unfortunately allowed hate groups to prosper and multiply, where as before they would be isolated to tiny local communities and never could have organized like they can today. The internet is highly successful in "validating" hate groups internally due to their perceived online communities.

Conversely, the internet has exposed the rest of the world to them. Now, instead of being comfortably hateful in their own tiny, local groups, free from criticism, judgement, and honest challenges, their new-found strength in numbers is being tested in the light of the rest of the world. Where before they felt isolated in numbers and now feel strong, they are also finding great difficulty in accepting a fundamental truth: the majority of the world simply doesn't like them. Their ideas are unpopular, and for every reason that they have now forgotten, their true nature is causing real problems for them and their livelihood. It's like they completely forgot that they were always hiding in the cracks because they knew they were fringe groups. But this false assurance through groupthink via the power of the internet, which has successfully preserved the thought bubble, is now backfiring when they try to reassert themselves in public.

One can understand why the feel so confused, so specifically "victimized" by criticism of their bleak, terrible souls--because their diseased minds are partially the result of zero exposure to negative feedback to fix their terrible behavior. One might say they were weaned far too early from the warm and cozy nest of their online hate forums. They are suffering from a false assurance of online numbers (lol--on top of that, probably 20% or more of the members of their groups are informants) that has not prepared them from the unassailable fact that the rest of the world has long left them behind. Pushback is confusing to them, so this is them lashing out. Eventually, old idiots like boomerang will be dead and feeding worms, just like their generations-old ideas, already long since discarded by modern, useful society. I feel that Trumptardia is the last dying gasp of the truly wretched. Well, I hope so. I just don't want these morons to start going all shooty.

That’s a shame. Who are Trump supporters suppose to look up to from under their rock?
