Meteorologist Mandy Bailey has been fired from Oklahoma’s KWSO 7News — prompting a huge backlash from viewers.

Bailey was dismissed just hours after she played a “mind mixer” word game on air, asking viewers to guess the answer to a conundrum showing the word “THERE’ with a hangman’s noose hanging off the letter ‘T’.

The answer was “hang in there”, but the game prompted complaints from some viewers who branded it “inappropriate” and linked it to racism.

And apparently the triggered snowflakes have never seen a Western where an unlucky white guy is hanged.

Oklahoma was the wild west back then. I’ll bet many many of all races were hanged....Including Indians.

Blacks going nuts over nooses should have always been ignored. All part of their victimology drive to power.

“And apparently the triggered snowflakes have never seen a Western where an unlucky white guy is hanged.”

Hanging used to be the generally accepted method of legal execution across the entire United States.

They tell me in a town near here they would make a temporary gallows in a stairwell in the jail.

But, the snowflakes are a mixture of ignorance and unbridled emotion.

a parent on a call yesterday said it was discrimination not to return children to a home where there were three adults in a sexual relationship. I said “in what way”? He said well what about two gay guys? I said two gay guys is fine, two gay girls is fine, two heteros is fine, three people in a sexual relationship won’t get it. Pick between your kids back home or your fun three person relationship, you aren’t getting both.

She loses her job as a direct result of Jimmie Carter, the NEA, and the resulting dumbing down of society!

This country’s greatest strength was in its ability to laugh at itself. That is now gone. Now, we are white people or helpless victims.!

To Hell With You, James Carter! To Hell With You, Teachers’ Unions!
