1. Thank you for giving me to the opportunity to register my approval of this decision by ABC.

2. I agree but...

Not just for those tweets... For all her racist fear mongering and conspiracy theory spreading.

3. DAYUM that was quick

#1 show got cancelled. The execs had to HATE that.

[DBoon]

11. The execs would rather cancel now and cut their losses

than have to keep dealing with the continual damage from this tweet and others that would inevitably come later

4. I have to say that I disagree.

If you are going to hire a racist bigot, have the backbone to stick up for them. Don't just benefit from them when the going is good.

They knew who they were elevating. They did it with the full backing of their corporation.

I'm sick of people doing things like this and then others giving them praise.

Come on ABC. Fight for Roseanne and her comments. You sure promoted the living shit out of the racist bigot just a few short months ago. What has changed? It wasn't your values.

18. It's weird that they are responding now to her nasty bigoted tweets

But were totally fine with her other nasty bigoted tweets.

5. The rest of the reunited cast will be missed, but good gawd, how many chances did she have to

just be HUMAN? Honestly, though, while she's always been a loud mouth and highly opinionated (and impulsive), I have to admit being shocked at what she's turned out to be over the past decade or so....

Damn, though, I LOOOOVE John Goodman and so many of the rest of the cast... Oh, well.... This cancellation needed to happen.

6. Does the Catholic bear pope shit in the woods under a blue sky? nt

7. Better poll: Will Roseanne now replace Huckabee Sanders?

I vote- anything is possible when you shill for fascism.

[Initech]

8. Agreed!!! This isn't just an isolated incident!

Roseanne has a long, unaltered history of saying some absolutely vile and ignorant shit, it's about damn time ABC stopped giving her a platform to do it.

9. ABC is a business, if they think her and her show are a detriment to their business...

interests she is gone. ABC is not the gov't they can censor her show and through her show her if they choose.

10. Totally agree

But they shouldn't have let the vile Trumpster deplorable back on the air in the first place.

Barr is Alex Jones/infowars level insane, you know?

12. The Soros was a Nazi comment was possibly worse

Calling a 14 year old Jewish boy a Nazi when he was under the iron boot of the real Nazis takes some pretty special awfulness.

13. My only regret

Is not seeing the show die a slow agonizing death as the advertisers and viewers abandoned them in droves.

This was a mercy killing.

14. We are at a tipping point in this country.

We either allow people like Roseanne to legitimize hate and racism in this country, or we have someone with some power standing up to say, this is not who we are. Someone drew a line in the sand, and I'm glad. Now, let's all grab hold of that rope and pull.

All together now, Heave, Heave, Heave.

15. I am a fan of the series and reboot. I whole-heartedly agree.

Goodman, Metcalf, & Gilbert made that show what it was...

[Runningdawg]

16. ABC deserrves to loose $$$$$$$

for a stupid idea in the first place. They knew better, did it anyhow and like most of knew it would, it came back to bite them in the ass.

[Eugene]

17. Good move but late in coming. ABC should have dumped her after the Nazi tweet.
