You don't get to have it both ways.

I only ask for fairness. Hold everyone to the same standard. Is that not the very definition of justice?

Have not we practiced the same with LSM? Holding their leaders to the same standards as the rest of the body of Christ.
It may be that Roseanne did was equivalent to what Bill Maher did, I don't know enough, and if that were true I would condemn him as well. I would not call for him to be fired, and I did not call for her to be fired. I simply said she was a buffoon that "flew too close to the sun". I would say the same of Bill Maher if your quote is a fair representation of what he said.

This is the danger in being a comic and it happens to all of them. We had several well known NYC radio show hosts get fired for doing stupid stuff (that was funny) while on the radio.

Here is another comic that I don't listen to: Samantha Bee on Thursday after the comedian called first daughter Ivanka Trump a “feckless c–t.” Sanders also called on Bee’s bosses at Time Warner and TBS to take action. I think conservatives should welcome what happened to Roseanne, no doubt there will be twice as many liberal comics fired than conservative ones based on this standard.

I also am amused that no one spots the hypocrisy in all this. The people who are outraged that this woman likened someone to being born from "planet of the apes" are the same ones who mock Christians for saying we are not descended from the apes.
