one was correct and the other was a fucking nut case lying sack of shit.

Just thought I'd add this as I breezed on through.

Another question along similar lines was asked. The question was: Is it the comedian's job to be vulgar sometimes? I will begin my answer with the answer given to that other question.

The comedian's job is to stretch the envelope of social intercourse, to test the waters of the forbidden, and to light fires under the seats of power. To poke fun at me and you. To poke fun at themselves. To scratch the underbelly of society. That they can do this while applying humor to the awkward is one of the crowning achievements of the human endeavor. They walk a narrow ridge line with sheer cliffs on either side, because society is made up of all sorts who take umbrage at the oddest things. Prudes. Religious nuts. Political wingdings. An array of hot buttons that makes the nuclear arsenal look like wet fireworks. Are there lines that should not be crossed? Sure, but I suspect that the lines are probably damned hard to see sometimes.

In the case of Roseanne, her comments were against an entire class of people, a religion, and unmistakably racist in nature. Racism and bigoted intolerance is something that is not acceptable under any circumstances. She said it; she needs to own it.

In the case of Samantha, she was doing her job. Yes, it was vulgar, but it was not racist. It did not apply a film over an entire group. Remember, stretch the envelope of social intercourse can also be applied to any other kind of intercourse. One of the reasons comedians don't like working venues where PC reigns supreme is because the envelope is sealed before they go on stage. They put the screws to politicians. And why not? I see it as a tit for tat because the politicians are always screwing us. It's called governmental intercourse.

Besides, Roseanne has always been a bigoted bitch with her politics in her crotch, while Samantha is generally a sweetheart wielding a wicked scalpel.

Comedians doing their job:

Someone can be a cunt one minute and a perfectly reasonable human being the next. Their actions determine their cuntishness not their race or creed. They can be an awkward cunt, an annoying cunt, a stupid cunt, an ugly cunt, even a sexy cunt. Roseanne, unfortunatly, is a racist cunt; and that's a different thing entirely. ?

As I understand it, Roseanne Barr said 'The Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes had a baby' of Valerie Jarrett, and Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a cunt.

The first as a statement is distinctly intollerant: religiously and racially. The second is just a one word term of derision.

Yes, perhaps calling Ivanka a cunt was indelicate and probably 'wrong' - but it's not equivalent to Roseanne's comments.

Samantha Bee's is far worse - its a scripted, edited show, TBS could have easily removed/censored it.
Roseannes was an impulsive bad decision.
