CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 31, 2018
I NEVER WATCHED ROSEANNE BARR’S SHOW ON ABC. NOW THAT IT’S BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO HER RACIST REMARKS ABOUT FORMER OBAMA AIDE VALERIE JARRETT I WON’T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY. NO LOSS.
THERE IS A DOUBLE STANDARD WHEN IT COMES TO CELEBRITIES AND OUTRAGEOUS REMARKS. MICHELLE WOLFF WHO MADE FUN OF SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS’ APPEARANCE IN A CRUEL WAY HAS HER SHOW ON NETFLIX. JOY BEHAR, WHO MOCKED VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE’S FAITH AND LATER APOLOGIZED, STILL SITS ON “THE VIEW.” KATHY GRIFFITH IS BACK PERFORMING, THOUGH APPARENTLY NOT ON TV, AFTER A MOCK BEHEADING OF PRESIDENT TRUMP.
DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK THE OUTRAGE INDUSTRY HAS GONE TOO FAR? SOME PEOPLE ARE IN CONSTANT PURSUIT OF THINGS THAT OFFEND IN ORDER TO SILENCE OR PERSECUTE OR MAKE SURE THE PERSON LOSES HIS OR HER JOB.
YOU DON’T CHANGE A PERSON’S MIND BY FORCING THEM TO BE QUIET. MANY ON THE LEFT KEEP THEIR JOBS AND CAREERS AFTER INSULTING CHRISTIANS, CONSERVATIVES AND ALL REPUBLICANS. WHERE IS THE STANDARD, SHOULD THERE BE ONE, OR SHOULD WE JUST ALLOW EVERYONE TO SAY WHAT THEY THINK AND JUDGE THEM ACCORDINGLY WITH OUR PATRONAGE, OR NOT? I’M CAL THOMAS IN WASHINGTON.
