In other words, what she wrote is perfectly acceptable to the NYT, and pretty much everyone on the left, because she's the victim here.

B-Man Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Then there is the Left's hilarious response...............Oh but you crazy Right-Wingers objected when Kevin Williamson was fired from The Atlantic for his prior writings, you CAN'T honestly want Jeong fired....................if so, you are hypocrites. ................The problem is her posts are racist....................his were pro-life......................Nice try though. .
Koko78 Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 It's not racist if it's against white people. She's a goddamned hero! She deserves a purple heart.
njbuff Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Amazing hypocrisy by the left in every way, shape and form. Problem is the Democrats will probably take over the House or the Senate (maybe both) and it's going to get even uglier when this happens.

RaoulDuke79 Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Surely someone has to be capitalizing on the abundance of dumb things people said on Twitter years ago.

Expand Now making the Twitter rounds is this article by NYT opinion writer agreeing about Roseanne being fired for her racist tweet, and arguing it should be about the totality of her work. Quote This is not a “one bad tweet” issue. In March, I argued that Kevin Williamson, the conservative writer briefly hired by The Atlantic, should be judged by the totality of his work, not by a vile tweet (and, as it later turned out, a discussion on a podcast) in which he seemed to suggest that women who get abortions should be hanged. Williamson insists his comments were misunderstood, but that’s another story. The relevant question here is: What’s the “totality” of Barr’s work, at least when it comes to political and racial questions? John Podhoretz, the editor of Commentary magazine, summed it up perfectly when he described Barr as “a boor,” a “notorious believer and propagator of conspiracy theories related to 9/11,” and, in all, “not merely a loose cannon but a MIRVed ICBM ready to go off in all directions at any time.” Barr’s tweet about Jarrett, in other words, wasn’t the odd needle in the haystack. It was the last straw. Expand I guess we'll wait to hear what the writer thinks about the new racist the NYT just hired.
