Why does Paula Deen get raked over the coals and fired for a comment she made decades ago, while Alec Baldwin gets to sidestep repercussions for the insensitive gay comments he made last week? There's a horrible double-standard, in which "certain people" get to say whatever they want and face no consequences.

It's okay you see, because Baldwin hates Boooosh. He can therefor go on national broadcast TV, and call for a member of Congress to be stoned to death, and to then go and stone his wife and children to death, because he loved Clinton. It is not politically incorrect to call for killing Republicans, that's the difference.
Yeah ok , It appear some other things were going on the resteraunt as well. Can you justify the things below going on in this that restaurant. And it is not just her saying that word years ago which I highly doubt Im from the south and know better. Someone call for a national lie detector test. LOL
Separate bathrooms for black and white employees.
According to the suit, white employees were free to use the customer bathroom at the front of the restaurant, but black employees had to use the facilities in the back.
"I bet your husband will like that"
When one female employee reported that she was going to start wearing dentures, Bubba remarked that her husband will like it. Because of gumjobs.
Racial tension.
Jackson, who is white, says that black employees were treated poorly. In one incident, Bubba violently shook a black cook who upset him. Not wanting to involve lawyers or authorities, Paula attempted to smooth things over by inviting him over to her mansion for dinner.
Bubba stated around employees "They should send President Obama to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico so he could n*****r-rig it."
"What I would really like is a bunch of little n******s to wear long-sleeve white shirts, black shorts and black bow ties. You know in the Shirley Temple days, they used to tap dance around. Now, that would be a true Southern wedding wouldn't it?"
Lovely; more n-word. The Paula Deen of the lawsuit thinks the best way to cater a southern wedding is to hire decorative black people for authenticity.
Did any of the black employees testify that this was true about the bathrooms? I can picture the brother saying that other stuff though. How would they leave out that jewel about the bathrooms in the media reports?
Google Conan O'Brien show and Baldwin, ranting to stone Henry Hyde to death. i'm sure the video is out there somewhere still.
The Henry Hyde episode was from 2011, I don't have any issues with that at all. Henry Hyde did indeed deserve to be stoned. The other comments from last week about the "queen" reporter are disgusting. For a self-professed liberal to say this is reprehensible. Baldwin has always had anger issues and is a drunk slob. This is just the latest, but I do believe that he gets a lot of "passes" because he supports the gay community in other ways. Miss Paula should probably consider making some donations to the NAACP and other progressive groups as well.
Born and raised too. I was calling BS on your 'friend's' claims. You having a 'friend' that claimed this is NOT proof.
So I guess you are trying to eliminate and invalidate my experiences too , I guess you did not read I live in GA for over the last decade. You gonna try deny the newspaper articles about GA recent segregated issues and cross burnings too . And Im pretty sure my friends nor family members that live in those areas have nothing to lie about.
Listen, you don't know this woman. Your "knowledge" of southern ppl is irrelevant. This woman had a prominent position and crossed the line. No mercy and no excuses. At her age, she should've known better. She exposed herself and now continues to get slammed. She needs to disappear.
Racists have no place in this society. As these maggots show themselves, they will be dealt a severe blow.
You never call whites cracka's, you never called a woman a bi*ch, you never used offensive language in any form. You Lexus are so perfect (in your own mind). You are a typical example of the left who wants others to bow to them. You are no more special than anyone else.
Right now things are on your side but the pendulum swings the other way ALWAYS.

Only a decade? That's fairly recent in Southern terms.
Talking about Wilcox County? Yeah, I know about Wilcox County - they're farther up north than where I'm from. Also know it was not official proms and was private parties thrown by the parents. Also know that I didn't deny it existed - I know about it. Also know how the news decided to make it into a sensational story.
But, I asked for proof of your prior claims about Deen and your answer was my friend told me. Sorry, that does not constitute proof. That's what you call gossip. Thus I claimed BS.
The Deen controversy illustrates the fact that the Left is the one of the most unforgiving and unyielding religious cults in existence. What has happened is the left as usual needs a scapegoat and Dean is perfect.
Dean, a conservative Christian, is enough to warrant Deen's destruction, just as it has been for Sarah Palin, Tim Tebow and for the hapless president of Chick-fil-A. She is also a formerly poor woman who came from nothing and who built an empire now worth millions. Therefore, she is part of the capitalists. She profits from her entrepreneurial endeavors and so the left believes she should be punished for her successes. http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/...itch_hunt.html
