If you are a media personality who hates, make sure you hate from the left.  That way, it won't cost you a cent. 

Want proof?

First let's note that Lifetime Networks just gave roseanne barr her own show, via these excerpts from the insidetv.ew.com web site:

The Barr is back: Roseanne Barr is returning to TV in a new Lifetime docu-series as she sets out to — believe it or not — run a macadamia nut farm in Hawaii.

The program will follow Barr as she runs a 40-acre nut farm on Hawaii’s Big Island along with her writer-musician boyfriend Johnny Argent and her son, Jake.

“Roseanne Barr is an undeniable force of nature and the idea of following her in this unique premise excited us from the get-go,” said Nancy Dubuc, Lifetime president and GM. “Roseanne is funny and brutally-honest, and our audience will relate to her decision to go on this adventure and create an entirely new life for herself. We are thrilled she will make her long-awaited return to television on Lifetime.”

Isn't it wonderful that Lifetime's President/GM, Nancy Dubuc, gushes about how funny and honest barr is and how thrilled Lifetime is to get her.

Well, Nancy, here are just a few of the many, many roseanne barr quotes that might give you a different perspective on how "funny" barr really is:

-November, 2008, speaking about Black voters in California, who voted overwhelmingly for Proposition 8:   "They showed themselves every inch as bigoted and ignorant as their white christian right wing counterpartners who voted for mccain-palin and bush-cheney"

 

-January, 2011, speaking about Sarah Palin:  “I hate Sarah Palin, I’d slap her”

 

-May, 2007, speaking about Israel:  ”I hate Israel too much to host The View”

 

-February 11th, on her blog (which also viciously attacks Jews):  The Ruling Classes are less than one percent of the world's population, yet through their control of trade routes upon the Open Seas, the ungodly pirates that they are, control 99% of the world's resources, and move them through the world by water. They kill dispassionately and by stealing the wealth of entire communities and classes. After being arrested and tried by a Judicial system NOT heavily weighted in their favor (as now), they shall face a fate more horrifying than death (to them). These greedy moral derelicts will be forced to actually pay back the money they stole, every single plundered dime!!

 

Without Bullshit, the Twin Towers of Patriarchy, Warmongering-Piracy and Woman Hating-Pedophilia will collapse under their own weight. 

And then we have this proud moment from last year, when the Jewish-born barr displayed her humorous side by having herself made up to look like adolf hitler, and baking what she called "burnt Jew cookies":

Uh Nancy?  Still think roseanne barr is "funny"?  Still "thrilled" to get her? 

I'd love a statement about this from Ms. Dubuc and/or the other executives at Lifetime.  Wouldn't you?
