What I don't get is why some of y'all are commenting about someone's looks? Roseanne has no excuse, like Kathy Griffith has no excuse for holding a replica of Trumps severed head. And hiding behind "comedy" is no excuse either. Roseanne has made a career of shooting her mouth off--and Hollywood knew it, ABC knew it and now it's come back to bite them in the butt.

Valerie Jarrett, one of Barack Obama's top advisers, responded after actress and comedian Roseanne Barr compared her to an ape in a tweet. Barr later deleted the tweet.
"I think we have to turn it into a teaching moment. I'm fine," Jarrett said during a town hall on "everyday racism," hosted by MSNBC Tuesday night.
Then she turned the conversation toward the incidents of racism that occur every day, out of the public eye.
"I'm worried about all the people out there who don't have a circle of friends and followers who come right to their defense -- the person who's walking down the street minding their own business, and they see somebody cling to their purse or run across the street," Jarrett continued. "Or every black parent I know who has a boy, who has to sit down and have a conversation, 'the talk,' as we call it. And as you say, those ordinary examples of racism that happen every single day."
Jarrett was also asked whether she felt that the president has set a tone that makes people feel more empowered to express the kind of sentiment that Barr did.
"Tone does start at the top," she responded, "and we like to look up to our President and feel as though he reflects the values of our country. But I also think that every individual citizen has a responsibility too, and it's up to all of us to push back. Our government is only going to be as good as we make it be."

Had she said that about anyone not in the Obama inner circle, the woman who lives in their DC house with them.....I doubt the fallout would have been nearly as severe...
Drugs and alcohol don't change one's opinion, they simply amplify it.
Actually, the opposite is true. The belief that drugs/alcohol brings out a person's true self has been debunked by the professionals a long time ago. Drugs and alcohol causes people to behave contrary to their true character. It alters who they really are just like some prescription drugs and other mind altering drugs like LSD.

This is Valerie Jarrett....She claims to be African-American, and Wikipedia says she has African-American parents, but I don't believe she's black. Maybe mixed race, but certainly not black.
"SHE has the black communities OUTRAGED for being compared to a cross between a FICTIONAL character(planet of the apes), and the Muslim Brotherhood. The problem?
SHE ISN'T EVEN BLACK! SHE'S IRANIAN! She said HER goal is to conform Americans to the WILL of ISLAM. Barack Obama's close buddy."

I've heard awful things about Ambien. People do crazy things while under its influence.

Several years ago, I went through a phase where I couldn’t sleep, and the doctor prescribed Ambien. As I was reading the instructions, I sensed in my spirit not to take it, so I never did. I’m so glad I didn’t because this was before the days they gave warnings about medications. No telling what would’ve happened had I taken it.

It's the hypocrisy from the liberal left that gives passes on their hatred and abuse not any conspiracy theory
If the same standards were held many left media personalities would be sacked but they continue to flourish.
