Conservatives should not rally around someone who says racist things and touts nutty conspiracy theories.

There’s no denying that what Barr said was racist...


How so?

How was it racist?

But conservatives need to demand that the media fire all the insane liberals who say worse things about conservatives. And boycott, too.

Sauce for the goose.

I get it Katherine. You may also want to point this out to the snowflakes crying about the NFL policy to stand for the anthem or get fined. That’s not a free speech issue either, as much as the snowflakes love to claim it is.

I’m not feeling all that sorry for Rosanne. She pulled a Kapernick - she did something that she knew would be very offensive to a part of her audience and paid a price. The issue is the hypocrisy. Those on the left say equally offensive and repugnant things every single day in the media and are cheered for it.

Yes it is.

It wasn’t racist.

agreed. But I think the beef conservatives have is that 90% of all talk show hosts are loony leftists who say the most outrageous things and nothing ever happens.

It’s a double standard free speech issue.

He’s right. Bill Maher was fired three hours after he said that Dondald Trump’s mother must have had sex with an orangutan.

Oh wait! He wasn’t!

Her tweet wasn’t racist. She was trying to be funny.

She’ll be back.

She’s protesting using her free speech. Just like the NFL kneelers.

Just like ABC can let Rosanne go, the NFL can let the kneelers go.

But... Valerie Jarrett does bear a striking resemblance to the woman who played in one of the older Planet of the Apes movies...

If she had said Jarrett was the product of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Weather Underground it would have been the truth.
Islamobolshevik

I don’t think you could’ve misread the situation any worse.

Exaclty. But trust the never-Trump NR snivellers to try to make the left’s point.

All the Iranians here in Northern Virginia consider themselves white. Where is the racism?

She voiced her support of Trump a while back. Since then everything she says is racist. Thats the drill.
