Univision Host Fired for Michelle Obama 'Planet of the Apes' Comment!

Exactly: opinion....thanks for the reveal.

 

If Rodney Figueroa was equating blacks to apes, then I condemn his comments.
Now if he honestly meant Michelle Obama looks like a character from Planet of the Apes, I can't, because I agree with him, she does look like one..

 

Bashir rightly resigned. He said someone should do something bad to Palin. This is encouraging violence against women.....are you in favor of that?

 

How do you know he was wrong?

Isn't that just your opinion?

We were discussing Darwin, you and papercut seem to have a problem keeping up.

If you think calling me racist somehow makes me feel bad then you are wasting your time, that word has been so overused its meaningless!

I doubt you'll get an answer...that's what I was asking but lee and papercut seem to have problems with comprehension.

 

live by the sword, die by the sword. This host played the "I'm not racist, I voted for Obama twice" card. too late lib.... you're still fired for your innocent comment.

 

When you claim every single person who disagrees with obama or the "progressive" socialist agenda is a racist, then you invite ridicule. "progressives" and the obama's have set back race relations 50 years - its the obama's and progs that deserve your disdain.

 

First of all, I did not call you as racist. Quit lying.

And I don't know what Darwin said about race. I said- and do try to keep up:

If Darwin claimed that blacks are inferior to whites, he was wrong. If he was a racist, he was wrong.

I don't know what he said. Apparently you do. Care to quote something of his?

- - - Updated - - -

No, it's people like this fool on TV that deserves disdain.

 

LOL - what a pathetic deflect. I condemned what Bashir said. But your anger is only when right wingers are insulted by left leaning people. But you don't have the ability to consistent.

 

Martin Bashir wasn't fired. He finally just resigned b/c of the outrage that wasn't dying down.......

MO certainly isn't one of my favorite people, but these type of comments about anyone are brutal and uncalled for.....

Criticize MO for the type of outfits she chooses to wear, not her face, which she did not choose........

Agreed.

 

I am always consistent. You are comparing apples to golf clubs and approving of violence against women.....sad.

 

It seems RWers make any excuse to rationalize insults to non whites and get their panties in a twist about anything negative towards them.

 

Rodner Figueroa is just a typical racist, liberal scumbag.

 

What seems to be to you is BS to everyone else.....try again.

 

The extreme overuse of the "racism" claim and use of race to push a political agenda has trivialized the issue. Add the race based actions of the legal system (such as hate laws, and the openly stated attitude of the DOJ that only minorities can be victims) and the race issue has become a bad joke and a source of resentment.

The Univision guy told a joke in a subject that he and many other people now see as fair game. That's the fault of the "progressives" for abusing what was a real issue.

 

Explain the insult, please!

 

I am just stating a fact. If there is evidence that I am waxing nostalgia, feel free to present it. However, you are presenting a logical fallacy with the assignment of blame. The fact that you are insisting that blame be assigned as a response to my statement suggests that I am not the one with the problem.

I'm not really picking on you specifically but how does this statement prove that he is a racist? Is there additional evidence that he holds racists views or engaged in racist acts and not that this was a horrible attempt at humor?

 

But, was Darwin a racist in hour opinion......that is the question........either call one if the greatest scientists in history a 'racist' or say he wasn't.......

 

Your memory is not a verifiable fact to anybody but yourself. You'll excuse educated people for being skeptical. Memories have a way of fading with age.

It's not a logical fallacy, at all. I'll let reasonable and honest members of the forum decide whether the left's response to Ronald and Nancy Reagan was the genesis of the disrespect you were alluding to.

 

I could care less if you think it's racist....

Progressives called Bush a monkey and they were adored by fellow progressives for it, yet somehow Obama is immune?

In what universe are blacks immune from being made fun of or criticized?

This is another example of how progressives are Nazi fascists.

 

Because they want to continue being racists and make it more mainstream. Their perfect world is when Archie Bunker becomes mainstream instead of a laughing stock.

 

Give it a rest. Anyone who even criticizes blacks in the progressive mind is a racist....

In my perfect world people can say whatever the hell they want and be who they are.

If anyone is out of line here it's progressives with their war against our Bill of Rights.

 

Likening the first Black First Lady to an ape is racist......that is a fact you can't deny.

.

Without consequences? Can I call you a pedophile? What if I told your boss you were one? Is that okay? Can I really say whatever I want.

The Bill of Rights doesn't apply since Univision isn't the government.........

 

You had me with you right here, thinking you were going make a credible argument for a measured step discipline approach for a man who screwed up. Then I saw the blatantly racist imagery you were drawn to post directly below. This thread was not about giving a long time employee a break and a warning, it was about spinning what he did, and what you did as not wrong in the first place. It was not amusing on the airways, and it was not clever in this thread. It was just plain, nauseatingly racist.
