    It was never about “Roseanne” for conservatives. Most conservatives did not even think Roseanne was a conservative. It was about a double standard. Should Roseanne Barr have been fired by ABC and had her show canceled for her offensive comments about a member of the Obama administration? Most decent people believe there should be accountability for what you say. Free speech is free, but it is not free of consequences. However, it very often is the case that there is a double standard for outrage over free speech. The double standard is this: You may say or do the most vile things you can think of to the Trump family and the entertainment industry will protect you, perhaps even promote you.
    During the short Trump presidency we have seen:
    1. Kathy Griffin “behead” the president.
    2. Snoop Dogg “shoot” and rap about killing the president in a video.
    3. The president’s 11-year-old son be called a “homeschool shooter” & “animal mutilator” by prominent reporters on Twitter.
    4. Madonna declare, to a cheering audience, that we should “blow up the White House.”
    5. A teacher get suspended for pointing a “gun” at image of Trump, screaming “Die! Die! Die!”
    6. Sarah Silverman call for an American “military overthrow” of Trump.
    7. Stephen Colbert joke about the president giving a blowjob to Vladimir Putin.
    8. Joy Behar say that believing in Jesus is a “mental illness.”
    9. Jimmy Kimmel’s racist mockery of the first lady’s foreign accent
    10. Chelsea Handler tear into Sarah Sanders’ looks and weight, call her a “$#@!.
    11. A Democrat congressman make a blowjob joke about Kellyanne Conway.
    12. ESPN anchor Jemele Hill call Trump a “white supremacist,” and lead a boycott against an NFL team for supporting Trump.
    13. Michelle Wolf mock Sarah Sanders’ looks, call her a liar to her face.
    14. ESPN anchor Keith Olbermann call Trump a “Nazi” and drop regular expletive laced rants.
    15. Samantha Bee call the first daughter a “C**t” with absolutely no remorse.
    Let’s not even get into what is happening with MSNBC anchor Joy Reid getting outed as a homophobe, conspiracy theorist, anti-Semitic rape fantasy zealot, who receives no professional repercussions. In fact, many in the above list received no public shame or professional career punishment. Many in the above work for ABC, the same company that fired Roseanne instantaneously after her offensive remarks. An apology on Twitter and all is forgiven. They kept their shows, got new gigs and book deals, all for their vile words and actions. There were no severe and swift industry consequences for crossing the a decency line as long as the Trump family was the target.
    Let a conservative public figure dare try using this vile language to describe the Obama family. It won’t work out well for you, I promise. This is not a defense of Roseanne or her comments. However, if you believe she got what she deserved, those on the above list (and many more) should get the same treatment.
    They should have to answer for their vile actions with their careers and reputation. You wonder why television viewership and box office receipts are cratering? It’s in part because conservatives are getting sick of these double standards.

    Yep. We've got them in here. The snowflake crowd. They call everyone they feel that is against them names, hurl insults and demand that our free speech get shut down. Hell, we even had a "new" member show up with his own posse of insulters and haters.. Wow, his own cheering section. Unable to stand on his own, he brings backup. I have no doubt that they will show up in this thread, unless they are cowards. Many in here have had enough and decide to resist them. They find this deplorable. They prove everyday that they carry a double standard. Worse yet, they believe they are funny. When I see their posts, I think of K. Griffin who assaulted the president, then cried, "They're picking on me!" They actually believe their voice is the only one that matters. They insult and demean the rest of the membership in here, without provocation.

    Anyone out there have a list of our current snowflake membership? And, they have never said what was taken from them. Rights? Money? Don't say dignity, because if you are practicing the art of K. Griffin, you had none to begin with.
    Look at you @Captdon...high fived this one as well. Shocking. Not.

    Now tell the board about generalizations again.
    This one (in black and white) is insulting EVERY lib here. I checked the new rule book. This is the epitome of double standards.
    Yee haw! Rock on!.
    At the end of the day...I am still glad that I am me. Tail and all.

    Tell you what? All of those listed were true. All of them. This post makes no sense. I do generalize about liberals. There is no double standard on my part. What rule book? What are you talking about?

    You did attack me by name just now. That's not allowed by the rules. I'm not going to report it because I can defend myself

    I do hope someone can tell just tell me what you're crying about. You might want to know too.

    Attacked you by name?
    Ahhhaaaahhaaahaaa! I did no such thing.
    You're going to report me for what? I didn't attack or insult you. I showed you that your generalization defense is bogus because that one blatantly insults the left at every chance he gets.

    Do I need to highlight it?

    I just realized that there are four people on the first page of this thread that are on my ignore list. That says a lot about the OP.

    God, you're tiresome. I didn't say I was going to report you. I said the opposite.

    Yes, you attacked me by name.
    You didn't show me anything.
    I don't even understand what you think you're talking about. Perhaps gibberish?
