Of her bizarre history of blog posts includes a November 2013 "Letter to Congress," in which Barr asserts the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing attack was a work of fiction designed by anti-gun advocates. In the blog post (unearthed in a Salon piece later that month), Barr writes to Congress to "stop the dictatorship initiated in the Executive Branch," referring to acts of then-President Barack Obama.
just so we are all clear, Rosanne is a Marxist wacko lefty (always has been) that just happens to like what Trump is doing for the blue collars.
And is a racist who hated Obama and the Dems.

Many conservatives are already criticizing what they will undoubtedly view as ABC's capitulation to political-correctness-run-amok, and it's easy to see how this could play directly into the right's narrative that the left is determined to silence everybody who says the wrong thing. [...]But conservatives are already coming for people's livelihoods. Not even a week has passed since the NFL caved to pressure from conservative viewers—as well as the president himself—and banned players from kneeling during the national anthem as a protest against police violence.And that's the problem. Conservatives won't watch football unless all the players comport themselves perfectly, rigidly adhering to the right's version of patriotic correctness. How dare you disrespect the flag, they say. Liberals don't think a television show should continue to exist if somebody central to its production does or says something super bad. How dare you traumatize our marginalized communities, they say.This race to find more things to be offended about and more reasons to start lynch mobs doesn't seem particularly healthy for the fabric of American society, especially if right and left are determined to one-up each other on the outrage front. Many media companies will attempt to appease viewers on both sides of the ideological spectrum, and their output will be that much less interesting. I won't particularly miss Roseanne, but I do miss being able to appreciate a television show, book, or work of art, even if I thought the artist was a lunatic.
