EARLIER THIS WEEK, ROSANNE BARR LOST HER SHOW AFTER A SERIES OF RACIST
AND CONSPIRATORIAL TWEETS.
TO RESTORE COSMIC BALANCE OBVIOUSLY
SOMEONE ON THE LEFT NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED.
SAMANTHA BEE
USED A DIRTY WORD ON HER SHOW SO I THINK IT IS GOING TO
BE HER.
SHE HAD THIS TO SAY DURING A SEGMENT ON THE BORDER.
SHE SAID ABOUT IVANKA TRUMP, ABOUT HER POSTING A PHOTO WITH
HER CHILD ON THE SAME DAY WE FOUND OUT CHILDREN WERE BEING
SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS AT THE BORDER.
MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT THAT IS THAT WHAT PEOPLE ARE GETTING
WORKED UP ABOUT IS NOT THE FACT THAT SHE CAN MAKE A JOKE SUBTLY,
BUT WE TOTALLY THAT SHE KNOWS ABOUT THE FACT THAT HER
FATHER IS SEXUALLY ATTRACTED TO HER.
WHATEVER, OBVIOUSLY HE
IS LET'S FOCUS ON THE WORD, SO OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE.
SHE
APOLOGIZED ON TWITTER SAYING:
APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED FROM THE TRUMP CLAN AND TRUMP HAS BEEN
TWEETING ABOUT HOW SHE NEEDS TO BE FIRED.
LET'S BE CLEAR ON SOME OF THINGS.
TED NUGENT USED THE SAME WORD AND WAS LATER, ABOUT HILLARY
CLINTON, AND WAS LATER INVITED TO THE WHITE HOUSE BY
DONALD TRUMP SO APPARENTLY HE DOES NOT MIND THE WORD.
ROSANNE HAS USED IT IN TWEETS.
SCOTT BAO USED IT AND THEN WAS INVITED TO SPEAK AT THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION SO TRUMP AND THE PARTY
USUALLY DON'T
MIND THE WORD.
ROSANNE BARR USED THE WORD IT WAS NOT FIRED.
YOU
SEE, THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
USING VULGARITY AGAINST ONE PARTICULAR PERSON, IF THAT WAS
THE RULE THAN HALF OF THE RIGHT WING WOULD BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY
FOR WHAT THEY HAVE SAID ABOUT ME, AND I DON'T ACTUALLY WANT
THAT, AND SMEARING AN ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE, WHICH IS WHAT
ROSANNE BARR DID.
IF YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE IT IS
AS IF YOU ARE TRYING HARD NOT TO OR YOU ARE A LITTLE DENSE AND
THEN
FINALLY, WHEN SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS PRETENDS TO BE
OUTRAGED, THE COLLECTIVE SILENCE BY THE LEFT AND ITS
MEDIA IS APPALLING AND TALKS ABOUT HER DISGUSTING COMMENTS,
CAN'T ANY REPORTER STAND UP AND GO, DIDN'T THE PRESIDENT THAT
YOU REPRESENT SAY THAT YOU SHOULD GRAB WOMEN BY THE PUSSY?
SO COULD YOU PLEASE DRINK THIS TALL GLASS OF SHUT UP JUICE
WHILE YOU PRETEND TO CARE ABOUT VULGARITY?
WE ARE TOLERATING THIS
OBVIOUS LIE THAT THEY CARE ABOUT AND THEY ARE OFFENDED IF
YOU USE VULGARITY?
TRUMP IS THE MOST VULGAR
PRESIDENT WE HAVE EVER HAD BY AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE
CERTAINLY IN OUR LIFETIMES AND HE HAS NOT ONLY SAID THOSE
THINGS, HE HAS DONE THOSE THINGS.
THE IDEA THAT SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS OR ANY RIGHT-WINGER
IS OUTRAGED BY THIS IS NOTHING BUT A TOTAL LIE.
IT'S FALSE, AND MY MOTHER IS ITALIAN SO SHE TAUGHT ME HOW TO
CURSE FROM A VERY YOUNG AGE.
I WILL SAY THIS, SHE HATES
THAT WORD AND IT CAUSES REALLY STRONG EMOTIONS FROM PEOPLE,
MOSTLY WOMEN BUT I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER HEARD A WOMAN USE THAT
WORD AGAINST ANOTHER WOMAN WHICH IS SORT OF, I THINK WHAT SHE IS
TRYING TO DO AND GET AWAY WITH HERE IN YOU CANNOT EQUATE ONE
WHITE CELEBRITY WOMAN USING ONE WORD AGAINST ANOTHER WHITE
CELEBRITY WOMAN WITH A WHITE CELEBRITY WOMAN DELIBERATELY
USING RACIST EPITHET AGAINST A POWERFUL FIGURE IN THE
GOVERNMENT WHICH IS WHAT ROSANNE BARR DID AND THEY ARE NOT
EQUATE-ABLE.
THAT IS THE PROBLEM HERE.
THEY ARE NOT EQUATE-ABLE
IT IMMEDIATELY BECOMES THIS ONE UP THING IN THE MEDIA AND YOU
LOSE
THE GENERAL OUTRAGE ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A RACIST
ADMINISTRATION WHO IS DEFENDING RACISTS AND THEN YOU HAD
SOMEBODY
WHO WAS USING THAT, DEFENDING THAT ADMINISTRATION USING
RACISM.
IT A THE WHOLE ISSUE.
SAMANTHA BEE'S SUBTLE USE OF A
WORD WHICH WILL TAKE EVERYONE OFF IN A DIFFERENT CONTEXT I
THINK HAS TO BE SEEN IN THAT WAY.
I CANNOT SAY ABOUT IT, ALL
I AM SAYING IS I DON'T THINK THEY ARE EQUATE-ABLE BECAUSE
YOU HAVE A RACIST ADMINISTRATION BEING UPHELD BY A PERSON WHO IS
A RACIST AND A TV STATION GOING WE'RE DONE WITH THIS.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IT'S A REMINDER THAT WE CANNOT FIGHT TRUMP WITH
TRUMP-LIKE BEHAVIOR.
WE CANNOT LOWER OURSELVES TO HIS CHILDISHNESS SO WE SHOULD
NOT USE THOSE KINDS OF WORDS BECAUSE IT BECOMES A DISTRACTION
FROM THE CORE OF TERRIBLE ISSUES THAT TRUMP IS ADVANCING.
THE ONLY THING I WILL SAY TO THAT IS I WILL ACCEPT THAT FROM
PROGRESSIVES LIKE YOU GUYS.
I WILL NOT ACCEPT IT FROM THE
RIGHT WING, I JUST WON'T.
THE MINUTE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
SAYS SHE SHOULD SHE SHOULD BE FIRED OR HAVE HER SO CANCELED, I
SAY THE MINUTE YOU CONDEMN TED NUGENT, ROSANNE BARR, AND DONALD
TRUMP AND IF YOU WANT SAMANTHA BEE TO LOSE HER JOB, DEAL,
AS LONG AS DONALD TRUMP STEPS DOWN AND LOSES HIS JOB.
TO BE FAIR, SHE WOULD PROBABLY AGREE TO THAT.
DON'T APOLOGIZE TO RACISTS OR AUTHORITARIANS.
DON'T LET THIS
MEDIA CYCLE FORCE YOU INTO A BOX WHERE YOU ARE SAYING I
MADE A JOKE AND I USED THE WORD AND I WAS BEING PROVOCATIVE WITH
SOMETHING THAT IS ACTUALLY CAUSING DEEP HATRED.
I DO NOT THINK YOU CAN MAKE THAT EQUATION AND THAT IS WHAT
IS HAPPENING IN THE MEDIA RIGHT NOW.
AND DON'T PRETEND THAT PEOPLE ARE OPERATING WITH GOOD
FAITH YOU HAVE LITERALLY NEVER IN THEIR RECORD DONE SO.
