Roseanne Barr's Comments Do Not Represent America Today

Something amazing happened as we all witnessed Roseanne Barr commit career immolation AND defenestration within a 12 hour period: Somehow she became my personal spokesperson.

Suddenly by the afternoon of May 29, Roseanne's garbage take about Valerie Jarrett not only cost her the primetime gig she had brought to the tops of the ratings but it also entrenched her as the defacto voice of the White House, the GOP, and for all conservatives.

For myself, Roseanne Barr was even beneath this strata; I had simply ignored her for at least a decade.

Just one example of the myopic view is in a New York Times opinion piece entitled "Roseanne Is Gone, but the Culture That Gave Her a Show Isn't".

Roseanne's comments reflect the racist country that is America, and it ALL has to be the result of the Man in the White House.

Here is a hardcore fact the press will under analyze: "Roseanne" was rebooted by the ABC Network.

From Channing Dungey, President of ABC Entertainment: "Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show."There was only one thing to do here, and that was the right thing.

Keith Olberman has a lengthy history of hurling far worse invective at President Trump and others.

Another ESPN hostess, Jamele Hill, called Donald Trump a "White supremacist" on the air.

Unlike Roseanne, Behar was permitted to apologize and keep her job.

Watch in the days ahead as Roseanne is positioned as the exclusive property of the right, and her words become the responsibility and the doctrine of conservatives.
