It must be horrible to be so obsessed with white people.

 

You know what's really funny? 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.

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.

I see a couple of baseball players are under the same scrutiny, apparently.

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.

 

 

:lol:................The problem is her posts are racist....................his were pro-life......................Nice try though.

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.

It's not racist if it's against white people.

 

She's a goddamned hero! She deserves a purple heart.

 

She must hang out with Strzok.

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

 

I actually want to save it for the next time someone complains about a racist Republican.

has someone you confronted in this manner spent even a picosecond of self-reflection when you mentioned their hypocrisy?

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.

Again...swap "white" with "black."  Then see if the Times writes that.

 

No, they don't.

it makes sense to anyone who isn't on a liberal cloud of dreaming

 

i'm finding my energy to bother with these people is 1/10th of what it was a decade ago

 

i'm getting older and they are getting way too stubborn for common sense to take hold

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.

I love these stories because it helps us reinforce the message we have for my 13--year-old son: the internet is forever.  Live by it and die by it.

what did they think of Josh Allen's old tweets I wonder.  Since when can a person's old tweets be forgiven?

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.
