BREAKING: Finally Samantha Bee Just Got Dropped After THIS
Kathy Griffin also felt unfairly targeted by the pro-trump mob and said
the president torched her career with the help of the Secret Service
so I guess headless presidents are also in the no-go zone Samantha be used the
most vile word imaginable in a crude and an artful attempt to get a Vonk Trump to
sway her dad's immigration policies leftward but you don't see the same
level of outrage over her malicious name-calling and she will most likely
just wait out the storm safely hunkered in the TBS bunker so when are words
deeds and when does social media betray your true ugly intentions why do some
people get a pass and others get dumped on and permanently tainted with gallons
of the crowd's vitriol part of it is the political crouch in the obligation to
defend people from the same tribe and minimize and rationalize their sins all
while demonizing the other side for the exact same thing we made me on different
sides of an oozing chasm but we cannot have it both ways
so either lives are ruined and heads will roll or we develop thicker skin and
accept the apologies of dummies even when we despise their words their deeds
and their obvious flaws the choice is ours but we have to pick a side and
that's the memo to week full of outrageous and over-the-line comments on
the heels of Roseanne bars hit show being canceled for her racist tweet
comedian Samantha bee is facing backlash the White House responded calling those
remarks vile and vicious B has since apologized saying her comments were
inexcusable and that she crossed the line despite the backlash celebrities
are standing by B Michael Moore is calling it a brilliant rant and Sally
Field is showing support with a bolder tweet of her own
there's also comedian Kathy Griffin she's going after White House press
secretary Sarah Sanders for this response to the Roseanne controversy the
president's pointing to the hypocrisy in the media saying that the most horrible
things about this president and nobody addresses it
where was the apology for Kathy Griffin going on a profane rant against the
president on the view after a photo showed showed her holding president
Trump's decapitated head okay Griffin tweeting B with lots of
asterisks do not come for me I did not call you and for F lots of asterixis
sake take a cold reading class maybe you won't stumble so much and if that's not
enough for you there is heavy metal band no punk band punk band NOFX which has
been dropped from a music festival for joking about the victims of the Las
Vegas shooting okay so it's Thursday so a TGIF tomorrow it's been quite a week
for all of these types of things Greg let me just turn it over to you before
some okay semblance of sense like bring us back to earth what's going on well
okay it feels like we're on an outrage superhighway yes and it's all driven by
emotion which creates these moments where people say things and then those
moments become opportunities for scalps right and the scalps are then because if
I don't like your politics I'm gonna get your scalp and vice versa
that leads to companies reacting in fear firing people suspending people because
they see the the pitchforks amassing as a mob but here's here's the thing I you
know Samantha P apologized and I oh and I believe you should always accept an
apology even though I know no one's gonna return the favor to me this is
what it is but I mean but I mean I would say this for everybody here at the table
that people are coming after you and waiting for you to slip up at any moment
there are organizations that are paid millions that have sponsors that just
wait for us to screw up so they can go after your advertisers go after your
livelihood your career so but we don't do that
like I would not say that to Samantha bee I would not say it say she
apologized that's fine but I know that there's an industry of
knives waiting for all of us and I realize the only solution is that we
have to do it back to them so it becomes as mutually assured destruction but I
don't want to do that I can't we just stop doing this yeah
when you say all of us you mean conservatives yes on the right yeah
everybody at Fox station yeah yeah dad that's true they're people who are paid
to monitor Fox News all day we'll just sit there and they wait for you to say
something that then they can create a habit out of I think that's probably
true yeah I mean my goodness Greg mm-hmm the C word is the gender equivalent of
the n-word it is extreme and it is disgusting I mean you are talking about
looking for a person to slip up here or there this wasn't a slip up I think it's
frontal assault I know you miss my father Trump you're
missing my point what I'm talking about is I'm saying that I'm willing to accept
an apology even though no one will ever ever accept as we see I would say the
way that we were all raised like that's the right thing to do accept an apology
me yes accept an apology but let me ask you Geraldo about this so when Roseanne
Barr did her tweet and her apology that it was just a joke and then later on
said well actually I was on ambien and tried to blame that this actually was
something I don't know if Samantha bee intended or wrote into the script the
c-word but it obviously wasn't it was a reaction from the crowd the crowd loved
it right which is is that why people keep doing this well I I guess I you
know Greg and I were speaking before the show and he suggested that maybe she
premeditated this because her ratings have been lagging I asked about her
ratings but to me this this is a larger a larger problem I think that
particularly about Ivanka I think that to attack Ivanka for the purported sins
of her father is extremely unfair and you remember from your tenure in the
White House you know the the kids okay now this is not a kid this isn't a fully
mature woman and entrepreneur accomplished that she is working for no
pay as is Jared Kushner her husband for no pay I think they are both brilliant I
think they're the most underestimated people in Washington and I think they
are easy marks for people like Samantha B to be snotty to and and to attack and
to try to tear down and I that this was a absolutely premeditated
how do i number one because I buy into Greg's a point partially that this was
premeditated as a ratings look at me look at me but but number two to use
something this vicious she knew does that mean the C word it's just like well
it's it's like Roseanne it's like there's some places you just can't go
anymore yeah that we've evolved past Jesse they were very quick indecisive
consequences for Roseanne and doesn't look so much like that would be the case
for Samantha be know they'll apologize and put out a statement and in the media
say let's move on she apologized on to the next mark could be Greg rolling I
think it's you I think you're probably but I disagree with Geraldo I don't
think the C word is the equivalent to the n-word I think it's maybe down a
notch not to say it's not bad but I wouldn't equate what Roseanne said to
Samantha the gender equivalent I said could maybe the gender equivalent its
category I don't I don't know how you can slice or dice it it's ugly it's just
not as ugly as the n-word I agree she's looking for attention it's almost like a
cry for help the ratings aren't good she's not a
talented comedian she's not on the level of a Colbert or a Jon Stewart it's
Samantha b-list people call her she's trying to make waves and the only way
she can do that is by being filthy and I asked the brain room these people at Fox
News that do all the big damaging thing for you right I said give me a list of
other nasty stuff she said I have three pages of some of the most derogatory
sexual slurs she's used against members of the Trump family some of these things
I can't even say about the president almost every single one of them would
don't be a tease you know what some of the worst stuff she's reserved for the
women Kellyanne Conway the B word F you hope it's effing evil Sarah Sanders it's
funny how these female comedians whether it's a Chelsea Handler or a Samantha bee
they the worst for the women in the Trump
world whether it's Melania or Ivanka or Sarah Sanders because they I think have
more license as liberal feminists so just go nuts on these people you know a
little something about they're also really mad because their girl didn't win
sure you know and these I feel like these comedians have gone from being
funny to just being angry and I like your word your use of the word snotty
because we're watching just adult Mean Girls all the time and I I think
comedians have a hard job in this day and age because you have to walk a fine
line you want to be funny but you can't be too unpolitical II correct or then
you risk you know did I say something to offend someone here or there so they do
have a tough job but comedy should primarily be funny
this isn't funny this is just someone who has a problem with someone and it's
turning into a mean-girl before our eyes and seeing what she can get away with
saying I do happen to think that this had to be scripted this had people heard
it this had to this was a network decision to release this I mean I don't
understand how something like this isn't an off-the-cuff not a live show
everybody all the way up to the top brass I'm sure yeah networks have to
make a decision about how they're gonna handle this stuff because what you don't
want it to look like is that they're selective outrage and selective
consequences because then people jump and say is there an ideological reason
why some people get fired and some people don't so if you're gonna take a
hard stance on people and say we live in a day and age where we're not gonna
tolerate insulting mean nasty stuff that's not funny and it's just meant to
make people feel bad or be racist or whatever then you have to do that across
the board otherwise you look like you're being selected I think she's not going
to be canned because TBS doesn't think they're gonna
lose audience if you saw the reaction everybody cheered she may actually gain
viewers after something see but I'm with Chris Rose and I think people would turn
that off see I would be inclined to accept the apology but then it has to be
if somebody apologizes across the board there has to be a policy here that it's
not like well one person says something heinous and disgusting and they lose
their job another person at another network says something heinous and
disgusting and they somehow keep their job and then potentially get promoted so
that doesn't make sense there's no but this is how you this is how you make
sense of this why there is selective outrage
goes back to what I believe Charles Krauthammer said in the 80s the
difference between left and right the right thinks you're wrong the left
thinks you're evil so that that defines the selective outrage meaning that
someone can get away with saying something heinous about you because
you're evil right but if I say something equally is disgusting about I don't know
any liberal they'll go like how could you do that that's disgusting you you
know you're you're a terrible person so it's that it's that divide the they
think you're evil we think they're wrong that creates this culture that
Greenlight's everything you can make excuses yes for the disgust you're the
dirty you just a bad person right because their mission their political
agenda is so righteous right that they can allow for gaffes and things like
this to happen in the in the in the goal for what look I mean but the example is
we you mentioned the bad no no effects they made a joke about the shooting of
these people and they said well at least they were country music fans denying
dead people yeah yeah but the we you know why they did that because the
assumption is that country music fans to that liberal band are nothing but
racists rednecks so the joke is okay because they are bad people you see the
point I think there's a there's another point and it has to do with timing I
have made my share of gaps and and some of them I you know I've looked back on
to have my god what was I thinking yeah the timing of your apology is to me
very critical for example if you apologized as Samantha bee and Roseanne
did hours after you talked to your PR person you've talked to your management
you've talked to your executive producer you've seen an audience reaction you
know and it's that I give that very little credit I get I don't I don't in
any way a that doesn't absolve the sin if you do it almost immediately if you
say oh my god did I screw up but you hit the send button I obey that which I
didn't do that let me get that back I think that if there is this on a near
spontaneous apology where it comes from the soul where you you are
your own policeman where you're your own monitor and you're responding to what
your own misdeed or misfeasance then I say okay right cut him some slack but if
it's a day later and they come on it's not the point
thank you god bless you and God bless america
you
