Rosanne gets the ax!

Well first of all, yes, if you get a permit to use the airwaves, then you can freely express any dumb ass thing you want, as long as it is not deliberate libel, slander, or inciting others to illegal violence.

But we were never talking about on television.
We were talking about Roseanne's tweet that was critical of Jarrett's Mideast policies.

I happen to disagree with Roseanne's opinion, but would kill to defend her right to say it.

Roseanne is so ignorant she claimed Valarie Jarrett was a Muslim and followed the Muslim Brotherhood.

Private employment doesn't protect freedom of speech.. Only the government does that.

Barr’s tweet referencing Jarrett, who she said is what you’d get if the “muslim brotherhood and planet of the apes had a baby,” was not the first time the Roseanne star has made racist comments toward black women. In 2013, Barr said former National Security Advisor Susan Rice was a “big man with swinging ape balls” in a since-deleted tweet.

Leon, What do you expect? Roseanne Barr is trash.

If I am not mistaken, she never made any comments about black women, and she never compared the looks of any woman to those of apes. She compared the looks of VJ to the looks of HUMAN cast characters of various races who performed in a movie. Many of the women who acted in that movie had really shitty looking hair like VJ's, and the shitty looking hairdo is not something you would ever see on an ape. There really is a resemblance between VJ and the humans dressed up in shitty costumes, but no resemblance to apes.

First she blamed sleeping bills for her ignorant thought .. then she claimed that she thought Jarrett was white.

Small wonder why Trump liked her.

Correct, she is still free to say those things, ABC is under no obligation to employ her.

Another JPP racist chimes in.
 
Roseanne is messed up in the head.

She blurts.

She went too far this time.

She's history.

Maybe she should 'do lunch' with Kathy Griffin.
 
elections have consequences
tweets have consequences.

"free speech" means da gummint can't impinge on it -but commercial speech is subject to employers
 
The United States Constitution prevents only governments, not private citizens, businesses or organizations, from interfering with a person's freedom of speech.

Therefore, private-sector employers can generally demote or fire employees based upon the views they express. Government employees enjoy protection for statements they make as citizens on issues of public concern, unless the speech hurts the government agency's ability to function.

According to the United States Supreme Court in Garcetti v. Ceballos, the First Amendment does not protect statements that a government employee makes as part of the employee's official job duties.
 
Barr was an excellent stand up comedian. She actually had a show that worked off that act and it appealed on the same people. The network was absolutely not looking for a way to end a highly successful ,money making show. It was all Barrs doing, her inability to keep from saying crude, rude and bigoted thing on the net forced the network to do what they did not want to do. Guess she thought if trumpy can get away with that, she could.

And Don. Since this is for blurters who go too far. Should we include our entire blurter-based economic/political system blurters?

The criteria is obviously more stringent for TV personalitites than for elected and appointed government officials. Roseanne would make a good 2nd string White House Press Secretary; crude lies is what the position is all about.
