Political commentator Roland Martin has been suspended indefinitely by CNN over a series of tweets he published during the Super Bowl. "Roland Martin's tweets were regrettable and offensive," CNN said in a statement. "Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not tolerated. We have been giving careful consideration to this matter, and Roland will not be appearing on our air for the time being." Those comments, published on his personal Twitter feed, concerned a two Super Bowl ads, including an H&M spot showcasing a new David Beckham underwear line.

He should go to the ACLU and hire them because he could use the racism charge. Yet who would the ACLU protect racism or gays?

Oh, he will say a few public mea culpas and then go off the air for a short while doing penance in purgatory before coming back again all to soon being treated as if nothing ever happened.

Formerly I only knew Beckham as a soccer player but otherwise didn't think much about him. This ad changed my mind. Now it's obvious to me that Beckham is a low-life. But none of this changes my mind about CNN. They've been on my sh*tlist for more than a decade now.

Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not toleratedUnless of course it demeans conservatives, Christians, or Republicans. Then it's not only tolerated, it's encouraged.

My first thought too, but I’m an old man, with gray hair and everything.
