They only pay a price when it is an extreme offense. Kathy Griffin's bit was so bad that the security service investigated her. It could have been seen as a threat on the president which is a crime. And what about all the disgusting crap that was said about Sarah Huckabee Sanders right to her face at that dinner? I don't recall anyone being fired over that.
There was nothing disgusting said to SHS at the correspondents dinner which is a roast by the way.
Not one comment was made about her appearance. Not one. Not one racist comment about SHS either.

What does any of that have to do with Roseanne?
But, yes... Kathy Griffin got some backlash and the comments made about SHS were nothing to get all worked up over. What is so terrible about roasting people at a roast?
That is what those are for.

Some Twitter troll made a comment about how VJ helped Obama cover up for his alleged "lies" or something and she came back with a comment about VJ's appearance that was her usual racist crap.
There was no fight, no argument, no reason for her to say such a nasty thing. It was dropped quite casually.
Which pretty much means she meant it and she's a racist, but that's hardly a secret.
Isn't that why Trump likes her? Because she has no class, is immature and calls others ridiculous names? Sort of like paying homage to him. And does she know that disgusting display of her screeching the Star Spangled Banner is still out there making her look like an idiot.
Big deal--she's got a rebooted tv sitcom. She's still a bozo.
Maybe she is planning on running for office and is just warming up to pander to Trump's base. If that ignorant POS reality show celeb can convince some people that he is worthy of any position of power, a nothing like Roseanne Barr can as well.
There are other cast members who are decidedly on the other side of the political fence than she is. Wanda Sykes had already quit due to her Tweet. I can't imagine all of the other cast members were going to stay on given what she said. We can all pretend that what she said was just stupid. But it was racist, and if you will not see that, your opinion is flawed.
Don't see anyone celebrating.
But those who think Roseanne got what she deserved have spent far less time and energy on the topic than you, and a few others who claim "can careless."
I see the usual Trump disciples in here defending Rosanne. I just don't understand how they can possibly fail to understand why people think they are racist. It boggles the mind.
“Look at her ratings... they were unbelievable. ... and it was about us.”
Roseanne is not a Conservative - never was a Conservative.
She is more Green Party than anything else, with a strong dose of Libertarian and certainly a Deplorable - but Deplorable really just means a person who didn't vote for the Presumptive Queen.
Deplorable doesn't mean anyone who didn't vote for Hillary. There are plenty of respectable reasone for not doing that. It is a certain subset of that group. And the adjective fits. Trump should be calling them deplorables too. Why isn't he? As should all national leaders. But, he panders to them to gain their support.
Uh, I knew that the Right has no sense of humor, but that was a joke ! Geeez, you gotta explain all this stuff over and over again.
I am not part of the "right" nor the "left". I know more complected than A or B. I don't like the fringy people occupy either extreme.
But the left lost their sense of humor in Nov. 2016. So I never assume a joke with them. Not anymore.
Fair enough. Good for you, you told a funny!
