Tim Allen Calls It An 'Icy Time' For Comedians

Townhall



"Comedian Tim Allen discussed Fox’s revival of his show “Last Man Standing” in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter Thursday and also commented on the state of comedy in today’s political climate.

"Allen addressed ABC’s cancellation of “Roseanne” after Roseanne Barr aimed an offensive tweet at former Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett.

" 'I go way back with Rosie and that's not the Roseanne that I know," he said. "She was the most diverse and tolerant woman I've ever known for a long time. So, whatever got in her head isn't the Roseanne that I know."

"Allen, who is a conservative Trump supporter, discussed the climate for comedians in the current hyper-partisan political era.

" 'It's a very icy time,” he said. “I've been a comedian for 38 years. What Lenny Bruce said at the Purple Onion in 1951 … we've gone backwards. There's things you can't say, there's things you shouldn't say. Who makes up these rules? As a stand-up comic, it's a very dangerous position for me to be in because I like pushing buttons.”

“ 'I don't know what Roseanne [meant],” he added, “but that's not the woman I know. Whatever came out of that, whatever she said by that, she is inclusive and tolerant. It's unfortunate."

Let's all thank Sarah Jeong for showing us what liberals think of white people



Ed Straker   "See also: New York Times defends double standard in hiring writer with a history of explicit, hateful racism directed at whites

"Anti-white racism is endemic among liberals.  For liberals, it is permissible to show disdain for white people in a way that would be totally, totally unacceptable to show for blacks, Hispanics, or people of other "colors" of the liberal rainbow.

"This is clearer than ever now that we have been exposed to the ravings of The New York Times' latest hire, editorial writer Sarah Jeong.  Jeong, who is Asian (a word I despise for its P.C. vagueness), has a long history of making racist comments about white people on Twitter.  When confronted with the fact of this, the Times doubled down, releasing a statement saying it knew about Jeong's comments but was okay with them because Jeong was just using "satire" to bait people who were making racist comments against her.

"Can you imagine the Times excusing such naked racism as "satire" if directed against any other ethnic group?  I think not.  I think Jeong was hired not in spite her racist rants, but rather because of them.  Because I think Jeong says exactly what liberals feel.
"Let's look at some of her tweets:" . . .
. . . 6. "I open my mouth to politely greet a Republican, but nothing but an unending cascade of vomit flows from my face."
"Liberals encourage violence like this all the time.  What consequences has Maxine Waters faced for encouraging people to harass Sarah Sanders?  None.  How many Berkeley rioters have faced punishment for violent acts against conservative speakers?  None.
"You may remember that the publisher of The New York Times met with President Trump two weeks ago to complain about Trump's adversarial comments about the media.  At the very same time the publisher was complaining about Trump, he was hiring an out-and-out anti-white racist for his senior editorial staff." . . .

CNN's Jim Acosta gets taken to the woodshed

Before we begin, we must not forget to highlight this gem from CNN:


THIS is CNN!

Don Lemon: ‘Is It Preposterous’ to Think a Black Hole Caused Flight 370 to Go Missing?  "CNN’s Don Lemon has been entertaining all sorts of theories about the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, including the chance something “supernatural” happened, but on Wednesday night, he actually asked panelists about the possibility a black hole was involved.
"Lemon brought this up along with other “conspiracy theories” people have been floating on Twitter, including people noting the eerie parallels to Lost and The Twilight Zone, and wondered, “is it preposterous” to consider a black hole as a possibility?" . . .


Jim Acosta Walks Out Of WH Press Briefing, Gets Crushed Online "CNN White House Correspondent Jim Acosta has been on a mission to get the White House to officially retract President Trump's favorite refrain: The Fake News Media is the enemy of the American people.
"At the White House briefing on Thursday, Acosta attempted to get Press Sec. Sarah Sanders to disavow the "enemy" label because he and his colleagues "deserve" it. "I think it would be a good thing if you were to state right here at this briefing that the press, the people who are gathered in this room right now, doing their jobs every day, asking questions of officials like the ones you brought forward earlier are not the enemy of the people," said Acosta, adding, "I think we deserve that." 
"But Sanders wouldn't play along; instead, she unloaded on him for his hypocritical request for softened rhetoric amid his and his colleague's over-the-top and at times dangerous "verbal assaults," which she's experienced firsthand." . . .

The tweet storm that ensued was a doozy.....

WATCH: Dana Loesch To Jim Acosta: Remember Your Network's 'Public Lynching' Of Me And Marco Rubio?
"I wonder if Acosta can imagine what it feels like when his network allows guest after guest, day after day, to refer to you as a 'murderer,'" Loesch continues. "To refer to six million law-abiding Americans as people who hate children and are terrible parents simply because we believe in the right of self-defense."

"@Acosta is upset that someone yelled CNN sucks. Imagine how he'd feel if his network set up a public lynching of him. As they did of me... many in legacy stopped prioritizing advancing news and truth in favor of advancing themselves and their political agendas." —@DLoesch



After Being Heckled at Trump’s Tampa Rally, the Press Won’t Find Sympathy from Real America
. . . "But there are also things called “natural consequences.” CNN reporter Jim Acosta and other blatantly anti-Trump reporters have made names for themselves (partially by making themselves the story) by openly insulting Trump and his supporters and now get to enjoy the consequences of regularly trashing Real America." . . .

Outraged Veterans Slam Dem Councilwoman for Kneeling During the Pledge (Video)

SavingTheRepublic


"Haddam, CT councilwoman democrat Melissa Schlag took it upon herself to take a knee during the Pledge of Allegiance at the Haddam town meeting July 16 and did it again on the 30th. Schlag was caught on video saying the town is racist and fascist, so this should give you an idea of the type of person the town is having to deal with.
"The display of disrespect to our Flag, those who have fallen defending it outraged two veterans who slammed her. Vietnam War veteran Calvin Bunnell told her “It says on my shirt, ‘If you don’t like the flag, I will help you pack your bag and get the heck out of here,’” and that she was turning her back on half the towns residents. Another video of Schlag getting schooled has a man who is being identified as a “Black veteran” (not sure why his color matters) making it clear when she is off the clock have at it, take a knee, but when she’s representing the town she needs to stand." . . .
