(99,705 posts)What was going through her mind when she did that ?

(21,646 posts)But now what she really recently hated was Hillary Clinton
Then theres the third category of Jew/Israel-centric Roseanne Barr opinionsthose that are simply nonsensical. In August 2016, Barr went on a Twitter rant, writing, hillary clinton is surrounded by jew haters who make fun of the holocaust & jewish suffering yet her mkultra supporters call Trump a bigot! She also shared a link alleging that jew hater hillary clintons handler huma weiner is a filthy nazi whore. She concluded that, Hillary will be the absolute death of Israel-she will sell #nukes to Hamas next if price is right [sic]. Just a few days ago, Barr took to Twitter to claim that, No Jew can really speak truth anywhere
No Jew can truly speak as a Jew, yet. But, the time will come.

(99,705 posts)BTW, I support Israel , within the four corners of reason, like I support my own country. I do not support Netanyahu or Trump, both of whom are leading their nation to ruin, albeit in different ways.

(2,678 posts)no Goddess of anything. Her humor, to me, is humorless. Ill watch the new show like I watched in the late 80s/90s. Oh wait, I didnt!! Personally I hope it gets hooked after 1 episode.

If so, are the cookies representing killed children? Surely not.
I really dont get it.
If she posted this photo, what words accompanied it?

Do you?

(2,078 posts)a 'black power' salute. Closed raised fist. NOT 'hitler salute'. Their hateful shit doesn't even make sense.

(80,699 posts)I knew I would not be watching this new show. Not once.
Dont buy books by crooks. Dont patronize businesses that keep Pox Noise on their in-store/in-office TVs. Dont support the advertisers on Limbaugh. I vote with my pocketbook AND my remote.

(99,915 posts)You're part of the problem. End of story. I cannot for the life of me think of anything lower than calling shooting survivors "crisis actors" and comparing them to Hitler.

The media has learned a lot from Trump
Adenoid_Hynkel
(14,093 posts)They had her take down her vile Twitter account when they launched the @RoseanneOnABC account.
It eventually went back up, scrubbed of her Alex Jones retweets and white nationalism and someone is closely monitoring it and deleting every time she sticks her foot in her mouth.
They can't have a show with this much money behind it having a Hank Junior moment and getting pulled.

(13,081 posts)Last year she claimed she had converted to Judaism and was moving by to Israel, and was even calling herself Rabbi Barr.
Roseanne is clearly mentally ill at this point. Maybe functioning well enough to be in a sitcom, but clearly unwell.

and Metcalf was just in one of the most acclaimed films of the year.
I can understand Gilbert and the rest, as they're kind of washed-up.

And Sara Gilbert, who is out, and married to a woman.
Adenoid_Hynkel
(14,093 posts)scrubbing her accounts of her past retweets of white supremacists, Alex Jones and the like. Hiding her Pizzagater posts, her birtherism and Seth Rich trooferism.
She pushed things like a debunked smear of Fareed Zakaria, falsely claiming he posted on CNN's site for muslim to rape white women (complete horses hit - check snipes), but instead, we get gushy covers like these, a trailer during the oscars and her Trump advocacy explained away on Kimmel with a bullshit "working class" angle:
There's a lot of money invested in this show, and the network is going to do its damnedest to whitewash the racist conspiracy theorist that she is and try to make it into a fluffy "both sides" sitcom.
Rather than the reality:
(actual photoshoot from her feed)
Fuck Goodman and Metcalf for taking part in this normalization of hate. And especially fuck Sarah Gilbert for initiating this reunion - I guess a career in the toilet and being stuck on a shit knockoff of The View leads you to throw your dignity and supposed openminded principles out the window.
And where the hell have the "left" media been during all of this? HuffPo and Think Progress couldn't wait to tear down Al Franken, but have ignored ABC bringing a white supremacist into primetime.

(26,177 posts)I used to keep a running list of things I heard at meetings, and had them translated, later. I would have asked, at the time, but didn't want to spend one second longer, in meetings, than necessary.
Then I'd use those translations to make 'lingo bingo' cards. My boss caught me, and demanded I make a set for her!
