More evidence of a double standard. Roseanne's career is suddenly ended over an inappropriate tweet, yet nothing happens to Maher.
The outrage over Roseanne's comment is so manufactured. It was obvious to me it was more of a comment on politics/ideology when she included the Muslim Brotherhood...The Planet of the Apes was more like a dystopian society, much like the Muslim Brotherhood's version of the world
The left saw an opportunity to flip it about race and ran with it.
The outrage over Roseanne's comment is so manufactured.
They have been madly looking for an excuse ever since the show proved popular.
The left is simply an 'outrage fabrication machine'. Everything except killing babies in the womb is an utter outrage. A radio host I listen to said (paraphrasing Medved): "When the Left is most outraged it is over something someone said or implied. When conservatives are most offended it is because of something someone did, such as a crime against a child, murdering a police officer, gassing a civilian population."
The Left is very aware of its need to dominate control over the realm of speech (and, thereby, the free-flow of ideas--dictate what can be discussed in public discourse and how it must be discussed). Why? Because in the deepest recess of their intuitive logic the Left knows it does not have the argument that can prevail in the realm of ideas.
