The deplorables wanted Kathy Griffin destroyed for her photo shoot about Trump

[meadowlark5]

She apologized and accepted that it was in poor taste. The deplorables were on the war path and were even demanding she go to prison.

Roseanne is getting the exact same treatment.

Free speech goes both ways, not just with what the deplorables agree with.

1. Exactly!!!

And Jemele Hill was suspended at ESPN for calling Donald Trump a white supremacist - He is! they can go kick rocks and Roseanne can go - well, I won't bother saying what I'm really thinking ..

2. Kathy should get a role on the new Dan show!

3. Is there gonna be a Dan show? I hope so!

John Goodman and the rest of the cast shouldn't be penalized for their fuckwit co-star's stupid mouth.

5. I thought of that too

All of the other cast members who have contracts now don't have a job because of that loud mouth.

8. You and Jimmy Kimmel:

4. My gosh......that would be awesome....

6. Not that I'm saying Roseanne shouldn't be held accountable for what she tweeted

I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of the deplorables.

They were absolutely frothing at the mouth of Kathy Griffin. They were actually calling for prison. They pant shit over the kneeling football players.

But Roseanne tweets out an ugly, racist tweet and "wah" that's free speech.

7. Difference between Roseanne and Kathy Griffin:

Kathy Griffin did not have a history of saying extremely vile, vulgar, and racist things. Roseanne did. Kathy Griffin got called out on hers and apologized and sought to better herself. Roseanne's history of bigotry is very well documented. That is it in a nutshell.

10. the target of the attacks matter also. Griffin went after someone who has done and said a lot worse

Roseanne just spread bigotry .

[JI7]

9. Roseanne is NOT getting the same treatment. Roseanne got the show AFTER she had already been

spreading fucked up shit. they put a lot of money into promoting the show and hoped she would stop being open with her fucked up views . she had still pushed other crap after the show had started.

Roseanne got cancelled but people are not calling for her to be arrested and terrorized as they did with Griffin.

[meadowlark5]

11. That's because people who oppose bigotry and racism are not ignorant deplorables

She is getting the same in the sense that she got canceled, her agent dropped her, numerous networks are pulling her syndicated old show. You can't really drag her name through the mud and taint it like what happened to Kathy Griffin because Roseanne was never much of a liked or respected celebrity anyway. But no, most people who think what she said and says won't terrorize her because those types of people are not the deplorables.

I was pointing out the hypocrisy. The deplorables went bat shit crazy over Kathy Griffin's satirical photo. Wanted her career destroyed. Wanted her in prison. But Roseanne - "waaaahhh" first amendment!! "waaaahhh" censorship!!
