But now what she really recently hated was Hillary Clinton

Then there’s the third category of Jew/Israel-centric Roseanne Barr opinions—those that are simply nonsensical. In August 2016, Barr went on a Twitter rant, writing, “hillary clinton is surrounded by jew haters who make fun of the holocaust & jewish suffering yet her mkultra supporters call Trump a bigot!” She also shared a link alleging that “jew hater hillary clinton’s handler huma weiner is a filthy nazi whore.” She concluded that, “Hillary will be the absolute death of Israel-she will sell #nukes to Hamas next if price is right [sic].” Just a few days ago, Barr took to Twitter to claim that, “No Jew can really speak truth anywhere…No Jew can truly speak as a Jew, yet. But, the time will come.”

Roseanne plays Hitler for Heeb magazine: http://jewishjournal.com/uncategorized/71658/

Not too many people are laughing at Roseanne Barr’s portrayal of Hitler on the cover of Heeb magazine this month. Yet there she is: a real-life Jewish grandmother dressed as a “Nazi domestic goddess.” She even figured in the trademark Hitler mustache and swastika armband, and bakes a batch of “burnt Jew cookies,” you know, for emphasis. Extra TV did a segment on the cover last week calling it “not funny” and shaming the controversial choice. But Heeb publisher Josh Neuman defended it, saying the cover was meant as “satire” and not done for “shock value.”


I had a subscription for a year back in the day. They love to do this crap and be contentious. This, however, was not funny.

They had her take down her vile Twitter account when they launched the @RoseanneOnABC account.

It eventually went back up, scrubbed of her Alex Jones retweets and white nationalism and someone is closely monitoring it and deleting every time she sticks her foot in her mouth.

They can't have a show with this much money behind it having a Hank Junior moment and getting pulled.

Last year she claimed she had converted to Judaism and was moving by to Israel, and was even calling herself “Rabbi Barr.”

Roseanne is clearly mentally ill at this point. Maybe functioning well enough to be in a sitcom, but clearly unwell.

scrubbing her accounts of her past retweets of white supremacists, Alex Jones and the like. Hiding her Pizzagater posts, her birtherism and Seth Rich trooferism.

She pushed things like a debunked smear of Fareed Zakaria, falsely claiming he posted on CNN's site for muslim to rape white women (complete horses hit - check snipes), but instead, we get gushy covers like these, a trailer during the oscars and her Trump advocacy explained away on Kimmel with a bullshit "working class" angle:





There's a lot of money invested in this show, and the network is going to do its damnedest to whitewash the racist conspiracy theorist that she is and try to make it into a fluffy "both sides" sitcom.

Rather than the reality:

(actual photoshoot from her feed)

Fuck Goodman and Metcalf for taking part in this normalization of hate. And especially fuck Sarah Gilbert for initiating this reunion - I guess a career in the toilet and being stuck on a shit knockoff of The View leads you to throw your dignity and supposed openminded principles out the window.

And where the hell have the "left" media been during all of this? HuffPo and Think Progress couldn't wait to tear down Al Franken, but have ignored ABC bringing a white supremacist into primetime.

I used to keep a running list of things I heard at meetings, and had them translated, later. I would have asked, at the time, but didn't want to spend one second longer, in meetings, than necessary.

Then I'd use those translations to make 'lingo bingo' cards. My boss caught me, and demanded I make a set for her!
