Roseanne Barr Is a Complete Nut
« on: April 05, 2018, 05:09:27 pm »
Trump supporters should think twice before applauding her
By J.J. McCullough

Quote
A challenge of this populist age is separating authentic outsiders with usefully unorthodox political perspectives from rank kooks looking to exploit a moment of open-mindedness.

Roseanne Barr provides a good study . . .

. . . The popular reboot of her blue-collar sitcom after a two-decade slumber has been widely heralded as a populist victory by much of the pro-Trump Right, given the decision to cast Roseanne’s character as a Trump voter. That Roseanne the woman is herself a Trump supporter only advances the notion that the show is a populist win, and many critics and viewers have offered the MAGA factor as the sole variable explaining the program’s popularity. “Look at her ratings!” cried the gleeful president himself after the show’s debut.

As conservatives who have watched the show have observed, however, the politics of Roseanne 2.0 are quite a hodgepodge of class consciousness and political correctness that amount to, as Ben Shapiro tweeted, a sort of “Hollywood fantasy of what Trump voters are: people who agree with Hollywood elites on values, but just disagree on economics because they’re old white factory workers.” The liberal actress Whitney Cummings, a writer and producer of the series, has vowed that episodes beyond the premiere “are going to piss off conservatives."

More important, however, Rosanne Barr is a woman who long ago sacrificed her right to be taken seriously as any sort of American sage. Even by the standards of Hollywood, her politics are extraordinarily deranged and sinister. They earned her a deserved exile on the furthest fringe of flaky celebrity opinion, and this is where she was understood to sit, alongside Charlie Sheen and Rosie O’Donnell, until just a few weeks ago . . . Barr has never met a conspiracy theory she didn’t love . . . Roseanne has long self-identified as a socialist and in 2012 attempted to secure the Green-party nomination for president. She lost and had to settle for being the candidate of the extreme-left “Peace and Freedom Party” instead. As a running mate, she selected Cindy Sheehan (remember her?), who initially gushed with excitement about “the chance to infuse the message of socialism with the heart and soul that is missing from political discourse” but ultimately quit the ticket, claiming that Barr was getting too “right-wing.” In 2016, Barr refused to support Bernie Sanders’s own socialist crusade, blasting him as a sellout who was “kind of running on war” and willing to meet Pope Francis . . .

I couldn't believe some so-called conservatives were cheering for her show. Did you not see the crap she peddled, and is still peddling.

What I would call nuts is wasting a day writing a forgettable crap piece like this taking an ABC sitcom seriously. I can't wait for this asshats follow ups on how 3's Company was the start of the downfall of civilization and My mother the Car is the reason we are off the gold standard.

She is playing them for all it is worth and they are buying what she is selling.

I actually saw a notable conservative commentator claim she (her character) portrayed regular working class people. Uhhh, no, there is nothing regular or normal about her. She is portraying a stereotype barely rooted in reality. It is mocking working class people.

Roseanne Barr dresses as Hitler baking Jews in an oven for mag photo shoot.
This picture is real and authentic. Barr explained that it was intended to demonstrate that there is too much emphasis on the Holocaust. (get over it already!)

I was done with watching anything with her in it after her performance of the Star Spangled Banner at the Padres game in 1990.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

It looks like they filmed that at a Chrysler dealer in 1965.

It doesn't mean I think it's funny... but it was on the latest show, nowadays, people are too PC....

We'd read the National Lampoon, if something seemed too over the line, too offensive, you'd just go on to the next page, now we are so PC, what if that magazine, Roseanne did it for, thrived on being offensive? I'll just turn the page.



And the old Lampoon, indeed had things that would be seen as racist at the least today, I got the CDs that have every issue.

Heeb is also an extremely liberal, bordering on Communist magazine that has even delved into holocaust denial and dismissal. They are Israel's version of Russia Today or Infowars. 

Rosanne is no Mel Brooks and Heeb isn't The Producers.

She knows she's nuts. She even did a reality show a few years ago, literally called Roseanne's Nuts.

Come on, people. She's an entertainer. Her entire life is one big, surreal act.

The Right always bitches about how the Left has taken over popular culture. We have a small victory here where Right leaning ideas have been presented on one of the biggest program debuts in generations and all the Conservatives can say is that Rosanne is a piece of shit instead of taking it for the improvement it is and helping to expand it.

The present day Conservative movement is noting but a collection of church zealots, scolds and all around uptight malcontent losers who do nothing but bitch and moan yet do nothing tangible to persuade this modern society that their ideas are relevant. That is why this site has degenerated into a bunch a cry babies complaining about who the President is, constantly pimping what might have been with candidates that got their ass handed to them, morally outraged at any little thing contrary to their self important morality, blaming one guy (Donny) for all the rage and hatred they feel even though the underlying issues that they claim are problems were started 30 or 40 years ago and left to metastasize. 

I hope all your posts have some sort of cathartic effect on your lives, because past that they do nothing to effect change in any direction in the real world. It's actually rather laughably pointless just like this stupid NR piece that was posted.

The problem is that she doesn't let it stay at that. I never found her particularly entertaining even on the terms of just-an-entertainer,
but she does have influence for better or worse and she can't keep her snoot out of politicking or out of every known conspiracy
theory she can get her meathooks on.

The point is she doesn't represent right leaning ideas, she is making ba mockery of them and bringing them and those cheering her, into her vile level of 'normal'. She isn't 'right' leaning any more than Bruce Jenner is a woman.

Who the eff cares? She presented a program where the p ussy hat movement was called out as moronic and American values were injected in a positive light. I don't care if she did that for the profit motive, a Satanic cult or April Fools. It was done in front of a massive audience and gave rural America a shout out on a platform were they are regularly treated like shit. We should be applauding it and encouraging it. Not nit picking it like a bunch of Upper East Side f aggots at the Harvard Club.

The country is heading in the right direction, that's what is important, if one did not support that, I guess, they'd try to tell us different.

Wanda Sykes is not seen as a conservative, but she is one of the writers for the show.

Again, I think people are getting too pc, who cares about this or that? Only the pc crowd. And sad, if that is where they make a stand...
