This is exactly what I said. She was always offensive. Why did they think she would be any different now......

"as she said, it was a joke. What she didn’t appreciate is that her brand of humour is no longer allowed....."

You said the above. She wasn't joking though. People confuse her terrible inappropriate comedy with her personal views, like you have done.

Everyone else is outraged that she be stupid enough to send those tweets considering she has one of the most popular tv shows yet again.

Her personal views yet again have led her show to being cancelled.

People get she has always been offensive in her comedy but her remarks go beyond comedy they are simply the ramblings of a racist, conspiracy theorist idiot.

Pizzagate is neither here nor there tbh, its nonsense but its nonsense of this time.

Saying someone sent people to the death camps and profited as a result on the other hand is about as offensive as its possible to be and I hope Soros takes her to the absolute cleaners over it. The mad thing is that 99% of the people who liked or retweeted it (and the likes of pete here who claim not to have seen it) are or claim to be zionists.

This is precisely what I’m on about. Not only do you take offence, but you then attempt to incriminate others, in this case me with your ‘and the likes of pete here who claim not to have seen it‘. Even though I haven’t seen what you are talking about.....

Because with any other president setting the tone, she may not have felt empowered to tweet out her racist thoughts.
How are you missing this?

So, you are saying that a known offensive comedienne feels empowered to be publicly racist because Trump is the president, got it.......

Pete you cant plausibly claim you haven't seen something on a thread where its on the page two pages before this one, when at least two posters have told you where it is, and when you yourself have been saying she has said something offensive. Didn't it ever occur to you to find out what it might have been?

My interest in Roseanne Barr disappeared over twenty years ago when her previous show died a death. She may well be the worlds greatest racist, but she is doing no more today than she did before, except that now everyone and his dog can get upset on Twitter or whatever. I have no interest in anything else she has ‘shared’ because she is what she is, and I am no supporter. However, I find absolute intolerance for some things while celebrating tolerance for other things to be both irrational and indeed offensive. This is gesture behaviour of the worst kind and America, aggravated by Trumps appointment, has jumped off the cliff of sanity........
 
If I had a career where I had only just become relevant again and was getting nice easy money I would not be on twitter, in fact I would ensure I do not speak another unscripted word away from the privacy of my own house.

How many celebrities must die shot down in a huge ball of flames before they realise?

:D

It is incredible isn’t it, and I would include Presidents in that.........

Pete you are posting on a thread where people have expressed opinions about Roseanne Barr. You can't get away by pretending you haven't seen what she wrote and then said you have no interest in it.

Perhaps even you could concede that saying someone sold their own people out to the Nazis is a bit much?

It is, it’s a disgrace. I said the same about her other post, the one that I saw, and I’m pretty sure I would say the same about every post she has ever done, and I still have no interest in Roseanne Barr. My interest is in the way that this was somehow unexpected and how people are now offended........
