Disagree with you there. The biggest racists in today’s society are the left and Progressives in particular.
If you like I can cite multiple examples from a policy and individual standpoint. Trust me there is no dearth

Good question. Bill Maher's generalized and stupidly uninformed attacks on Islam as a whole, for example, are indefensible. He should have been fired a long time ago. But I guess pretending to be a 'freethinker' makes him invulnerable, and even a 'hero' to some misguided idiots.
For the third time
He called Milo an “impish fag” on his show not in a tweet. He called Palin a “dumb twat” on his show and not a tweet. He called Palin a “dumb cu-t” in a stand up routine.
Many many more of the same but those are three that rise to the Barr standard, no? Or is that just “comedy”
How does conservatism equal racism Al? What kind of racism are we talking about here, against whom?

How is calling Palin a twat or a dumb c**t the same as calling a person of color an ape?
Calling someone a fag is crossing the line.
Either way, everyone should support the firing of someone who wrote what Roseanne did. That should be universal. And she was talking as herself, not as a comedian and not as a TV character.
Google his interview with Ben Sasse (R) Neb where he refers to himself as a house (slur). Ice Cube didn't think it was funny.
Yes but you know what the boundaries are. That is something not everyone gets the privilege of anymore. I think it's perfectly appropriate to require employers to write down how they stand on these situations. It would save everyone a lot of gruff. Those that want to talk freely saying whatever they want will consider whether or not they can do it at work, and whether they want to work for someone that has the conditions. While Rosanne isn't a prime example, it's a highlighted one. The truth is this goes on daily with people that don't have america's attention.
Define behave. No they didn't "violate" them, but I think the issue is a bigger concern. You have to remember that she could have said something utterly benign, but if it was labeled wrongly she'd still get axed.
You know... I was curious about who this person she tweeted about looked like. I had no idea. Once I found a picture I understood Rosanne's comment. She has an interesting look to her. I don't think Rosanne's approximation was inaccurate. What I don't know is if she blurted it out because it made sense, or she was trying to come up with something particularly racist. These days even something true can be "bigot racism". What is amusing though is comparing the two, as they actually don't look too dissimilar if they had the same hair style. Really though, at a comedy club no one would bat an eye at Rosanne's comment. It's just not important.

What is it you don’t get? I understand Progressives like to define appropriateness as they are the vision of the anointed BUT had Maher called her just dumb without reference to “twat or cu-t” maybe it wouldn’t rise to the despicable misogynistic insult it was. Had a conservative said the same their career would be over. And trust me there is no dearth of dumb women (& men) on the left.
Not at all, stupid and offensive, just not to the level of directing a racial slur to a particular person.
