Discussion: ABC Cancels 'Roseanne' After Barr Sends Racist Tweet About Obama Staffer

That’s funny. Reminds me of radio hate jockey Michael Savage out of San Francisco with his RDDB - Red Doper Diaper Babies. I wonder if he’s still around?

Which one?

Please don’t say Netflix

I think the comment was a reply or a retweet - kind of a Trumpian response, it seems. Basically she sees the picture and that kind of racist crap is he first thing that came to her mind, and, with no decency filter, to her fingers.

She’ll claim she was drinking.

Don’t forget the conspiracy mongering.

“Rosanne Barred.” In the great tradition of semi-tabloid headlines, no? “Ford to NY: Drop Dead.” for example. Kinda fun, actually.

Wasn’t Wanda Sykes on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm?

Sadly, lots of folks are now also out of jobs because of her racism.

I was thinking more about those critics at Salon, Slate, and The Daily Beast who initially fell all over themselves praising her deep dive into the psyche of forgotten America.

I do recall an episode. There may have been more but Larry David lost me with the Katrina stuff and Leon.

Wasn’t that cancelled? I think that was cancelled.

The upside is she is now free to sing the national anthem at baseball games!

How did the Populism virus get over here and infect the Left? Goddamn. Since it is spreading throughout the west, I’m blaming Putin.

Yeah-they weren’t exaggerating when they called it ‘cringe’ comedy.

My 2nd favorite tabloid headline from 50+ years ago - “Ringo Says He’s Queer”.
Holy crap! Turns out Ringo really liked chocolate and was ‘queer’ for it.

And I can’t remember what I had for dinner yesterday.

Fox News could team Roseanne up with Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh - after first having reinforced the studio floor - in a show entitled: “Face-palm the Nation”.

Nope

Last Man Standing was on ABC.

Ironically, Fox bought the show back, because of the successful Roseanne mini series
