Jimmy Kimmel pulled from the air over false comment about Kirk murder

[Vermilion]

Those that are objecting to Black Face -- did you object to it when it happened? 

 I don't remember it being a big deal and taboo until late 20's.  Actually, as I was growing up it seemed a normal part of entertainment.

Jimmy Kimmel's performance was around 2003.  Along with many other comedians/performers.

Ah I see the rules now.

So comments like “Grab them by the pussy” were fine back in 2006, right?

So, you can't actually focus on the subject -- and have a reasonable conversation.

Insert remark -- and "pass the trash".

You discounted blackface because it was back in the day.
I’m guessing because the person who did it was on your team.
In fact, most blackface are on your team.
Kimmel, Silverman, Trudeau, Whoopi’s husband
I don’t have to wonder how you’d react if it was done by someone on the opposite team.
This is why it’s hard to have a conversation with lefties.
The rules are different depending on the side.

You will look the other way on everything Liberal. 

Hilarious hypocrisy. 

You really can't make this shit up.

[chivo]

Whataboutism and hypocrisy. Coming from users that believe and show themselves online to be objective, critical and level minded (that syndrome which people gets when they are somehow able to understand some complexity and as a result they think they are geniuses and more intelligent than they are in reality)

You really can make this up, if you have this mental development (pre teens more or less) and if you don't care about getting to know the truth of the matter, that is, the user cares more about maintaining certain image of themselves that in their minds is respected.

To some other people this is childish and a waste of time

I still don't think he said anything wrong. I've watched the video over and over. This looks to me like another overreach from the Executive branch. Freedom of speech also applies to those you disagree with. For instance, I have to park my personal feelings a lot when running DI because it's important that everyone, no matter their beliefs, is treated fairly and equally.

Honestly, I'm more shocked that all those times he was in full blackface on The Man Show didn't get him "cancelled". That came up a few years back, and he managed to slip out of it. Personally. I've been a fan of his since he co-hosted Win Ben Steins Money, but I think he was a radio personality in Vegas before that.

It's because morals are a matter of convenience. There when you want them, and not when you don't...

I get told Kimmel said nothing wrong and freedom of speech.  I challenge the person to replace Kirck with Pulse Night Club (victims), MAGA with LBGTQ, and Trump with Obama and see what happens.

So far crickets…

He lied and said the shooter was MAGA and that MAGA was desperate to cover it up.
The partisan lemmings applauded the lie because they liked the sound of it.
Disney suspended him because his ratings suck and he lied at a sensitive time.
DISNEY .. not Trump.
Trump mouths off, acts the buffoon and bloviates, but he didn't do it.  Disney did.
If Kimmels ratings had been good he wouldn't have been suspended.
It's all about the money.  It's always about the money.

You would think that people would be upset that they were being lied to ... but instead they are upset because the partisan hate filled lies ended for a week.  They are addicted to hateful partisan bullshit.  That's a sad statement about the mentality of people.

How do you square that with Trump saying that he hated his opponents?
