Everyone on the left is coming to her aid, arguing that the white supremacists are the ones calling out her older tweets.' Even the NYT released a statement that they were satisfied she was not going to use her racism in her articles. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People wanna hold Josh Allen's feet to the fire over "old tweets", but, it's ok for this woman to not be vilified over her "old tweets". Ok, got it. No wonder the President calls the NYT a failing organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted August 2, 2018 Share 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 Share Posted August 2, 2018 It's not racist if it's against white people. She's a goddamned hero! She deserves a purple heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted August 2, 2018 Share 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.

Oh, where is that statement? I want to see the Times argue "Yeah, they're racist...but they can put it aside."

No. But I never stop hoping. Really...the acid test in this case is: change "white" to "black." Is it offensive then? And those defending her would say "Yes, absolutely, in all cases, without exception." And she would never work again. 2 minutes ago, BillsFanNC said: NYT statement. Again...swap "white" with "black." Then see if the Times writes that. No, they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaoulDuke79 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Surely someone has to be capitalizing on the abundance of dumb things people said on Twitter years ago. I saw several baseball players got nailed. There must be professional Twitter miners out there that dig up old skeletons from people's closets.

IDBillzFan Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 1 hour ago, DC Tom said: Again...swap "white" with "black." Then see if the Times writes that. 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. I guess we'll wait to hear what the writer thinks about the new racist the NYT just hired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
