Participant::Roseanne Barr blames Michelle Obama for getting fired at ABC, calls Donald Trump a ‘genius’
In the months since ABC canceled her show, Roseanne, last May, Roseanne Barr has put forth several explanations for her termination. While the firing came in response to outrage over Barr’s racist tweet linking former Obama official Valerie Jarrett, who is black, to the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes, the Jewish comedienne has cited anti-Semitism and her views defending Israel. She has also previously claimed to have not known that Jarrett is black.
In a new interview with Britain’s Sunday Times Magazine, Barr blames her controversial tweet on her “inebriated condition” caused by mixing Ambien with “a couple of beers.” But her actual firing, she claims, came at the behest of Michelle Obama.
According to Barr, the former first lady ordered then-president of ABC Entertainment Group Channing Dungey to send her packing for insulting Jarrett. Jarrett is a longtime Obama friend and colleague.
Roseanne proves she’s the same person she was when she mangled the National Anthem, spat and grabbed her crotch 19 years ago.
What is it about trumptards that none seem to be able to accept responsibility for them actions? Following their leader?

Why is there so much hate in the USA……..from both sides, and so much hate on this forum as well………..this kind of hate is never ever seen here in Sweden, we may have different opinions as to why the real LEFT or the real RIGHT, have their opinions but we respect them, Jimmie Äkersson and his extreme right party are respected and make up the government we have…..about 18% I believe, and never ever do we see the kind of hate in Swedish press and on our TV, like is seen in the USA every hour of every day……………perhaps what is now needed is a huge huge war with some huge huge country to take peoples minds off of trival everyday things in your gutter press…….just saying
March 12, 2019 at 10:16 #11858Participant::Politically some of it began with George W. and his vice president, Dirty Dick. When they turned their back on Afghanistan and attacked Iraq with no honest reason many of us took issue with that. We were strident in our condemnation of many of that administration’s actions, but no where near what happened from the bigots on the right when a black man was elected president.
Bigotry abounded from the bogus birther movement to effigies of Obama being lynched. Michelle Obama was called an ape. It came from Congress too with McConnell declaring that their main goal was to keep Obama as a one term president, something they failed at miserably. All things Obama were bad for most Republicans and for all bigots. The longer he was in office the worse it got.
Then along comes Trump who never met a lie he didn’t like and led a fake birther movement, which, much like many of his businesses, failed. In his campaign he promoted bigotry and gained the support of his bigot base, like Harpo, Gruel, Rambler. Since in office he has done all he can to make America disrespected by the global community – one thing he’s done a good job of – and to alienate all true patriots, those who truly care about this country and hate to see it besmirched and sold for profit.
We have a choice; we can stand idly by and let the U.S. sink deep into the morass of bigotry politics, corporate welfare, we can, if we are bigots, choose to support the bigot in chief, or we can stand firm against hatred and greed. For true patriots there is no question, we must cry out loudly, clearly against the despot wannabe that occupies the White House.

Participant::And this is what happened when a black man was fraudulently elected president:
Before Ilhan Omar, Barack Obama Mainstreamed Anti-Semitism In The Democratic Party ….
Lost in the mists of the last decade is Barack Obama’s mainstreaming of anti-Semitism into Democratic and American politics. To be clear, even after two terms as president, Obama remains such a cipher that saying he mainstreamed anti-Semitism is hardly the same thing as saying he’s personally anti-Semitic. It is fair, however, to say he has consorted with Israel critics with dubious motivations and people with anti-Israel terror connections to such a degree that the most charitable thing one can say is that there’s a possibility his embrace of these people was just a way to cynically advance his political career and foreign policy priorities, priorities that were just coincidentally threatening to Israel’s security.
In fact, when Obama ran for president in 2008, people spoke openly of his “Jewish problem.” It wasn’t strictly a partisan concern, either: Hillary Clinton raised the issue in the Democratic Party. Obama did a poor job of persuading people that this wasn’t a legitimate concern.
In 2008, Jimmy Carter met with the leader of terror group Hamas, a move condemned by Condoleezza Rice, who then was secretary of state. Obama declined to condemn the meeting because “he’s a private citizen. It’s not my place to discuss who he shouldn’t meet with.” This is a remarkably calm reaction to Carter’s blatant Logan Act violation, a crime the Obama administration would later deem so serious it was used to justify investigating and surveilling the Trump campaign.
Obama reversed course a few days later, after it became obvious that refusing to condemn the meeting was damaging his campaign. As the Los Angeles Times observed then, when the condemnation finally came it was “as he tried to reassure Jewish voters that his candidacy isn’t a threat to them or U.S. support for Israel.”
Of course, there were plenty more reasons to think Obama didn’t really think that the murderous and anti-Semitic Hamas was all that bad. When Hamas came out and officially endorsed his candidacy in 2008, Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, said the endorsement was “flattering.”….
Obama’s problematic pastor, Jeremiah Wright, was also notoriously anti-Israel. Aside from making plenty of public criticisms about Wright, in 2007 the bulletin at Wright’s church reprinted an article by a Hamas official.
Of course, Obama would famously break publicly with Wright, but that was again in the middle of the campaign when he faced public pressure. If the church where you baptized your kids starts putting terrorist propaganda in the pews, right then might be time to find a new place to worship, not after continuing to attend threatens your political career.
But Wright was hardly the first person with these views Obama had very visibly associated with. Much has been made of Obama’s friendship with scholar Rashid Khalidi, who has been accused of working as an advisor for the PLO terror group…
In 2008, the Los Angeles Times notoriously reported on a videotape of Obama speaking at an event in Khalidi’s honor, where one of the speakers compared Zionists to Osama bin Laden. While the still unreleased video of this event attracted the most attention, other aspects of the Los Angeles Times’s lengthy report on Obama’s close ties to Palestinian activists are noteworthy. For instance, in the same report Khalidi heavily implies that any pro-Israel sentiment Obama expresses while running for president was “a stance that Khalidi calls a requirement to win a national election in the U.S.” ( taqiya )
Robert Malley (his father was friend of Arafat’s and a PLO sympathizer) May 2008, and the London Times reports that not only was Malley serving on the Obama campaign’s Middle East advisory council all this time, but that the campaign had recently got around to firing him after they learned he’d been in regular contact with Hamas the whole time. It turns out that the Obama campaign wasn’t just flattered by Hamas, they were likely taking their advice as well. If contemporary Democrats now purport that the collusion with and infiltration of campaigns by hostile foreign powers renders a presidency illegitimate, well, there are revealing parallels here. Make of it what you will.
That was just Obama’s first campaign. Suffice to say, there is a rogues’ gallery within and without the Obama presidency that continued to prove Obama wasn’t terribly concerned about how the criticism of Israel was expressed in the corridors of power. But if you looked at what went on with the first Obama campaign, then it logically follows that his presidency would be laser-focused on empowering Iran, the largest benefactor of murderous anti-Semitic and anti-Israel terror groups such as Hamas, even if it meant engaging in a variety of extraordinarily deceptive behaviors to hide such policies from Congress and the American people. Top administration officials eventually admitted the manipulation and deceit.
Now, not every critic of Israel or Zionism is an anti-Semite, and it is unfortunate that such perspectives are often lost in foreign policy debates. At the same time, however, just about all anti-Semites are also critics of Israel and Zionism. And it’s safe to say that, whatever Obama’s personal feelings and public statements about Jews and anti-Semitism, the practical consequences of his presidency amounted to very publicly elevating and legitimizing lots of people one could criticize as anti-Semitic, to say nothing of empowering Iran.
By allowing people who pal around with terror groups and employ questionable anti-Israel rationales to have a seat at the table, Obama allowed the legitimate critics of Israel to be eclipsed, and it was only a matter of time before someone such as Omar broke through to a position of power in American politics without expressing much concern about masking anti-Semitism.
Naturally, Omar doesn’t see herself following in Obama’s footsteps. That’s not how radicalism works. Recently, Omar attacked Obama because he “got away with murder” and was “droning” other countries. Vanity Fair’s take on the article was revealing: “Democrats didn’t abandon Omar over her comments about Israel. Her criticism of Barack Obama is another matter.” Saying that in today’s Democratic Party it’s more heretical to criticize Obama than be an anti-Semite is both accurate and depressing, in that a mainstream journalistic outlet thinks Obama’s legacy is the bigger concern here.
It’s also wrong, because the Democratic Party is on a path to become even more toxic than this game of pick your poison suggests. Omar tried to backtrack unconvincingly, but there was never any danger of Democrats abandoning her over her Obama remarks. The new socialist wing of the party largely agrees with her criticisms of the former president.
Unfortunately for Obama’s legacy, radicalism only begets even more radicalism. We came to tolerate his radicalism on Israel. If we come to tolerate Omar’s political vision, just wait until the next iteration of left-wing politician comes along and builds on her success normalizing this rhetoric by declaring that she was insufficiently radical. It could well prove dangerous and terrifying.

Unlike Trump, Obama had the majority of the voters AND the Electoral College in both elections, 2008, 2012. As for his Antisemitism; you lie worse than a 13 year old bloodhound on the shack porch.
Trump must be so proud of you for being the consummate liar that you are and for being a big enough fucking fool to support him. You define the term; trumpturd.
