No no no, in fact any rational person on the right or who is right leaning (such as myself) would tell you Roseanne got her just desserts. I hated the Kneeling in the NFL. Why? Because they are in a work environment and are protesting on the clock. If I went to my workplace and told them I wasn't going to work for the 1st hour so I could show separation between me and big corporation, my boss would fire me, and I'd deserve it. No one is saying Kaepernick didn't have the 'right' to protest, everyone sought issue because he was getting paid at work to do it. If Kaepernick actually wanted to send a message, donate to charity with that overpriced contract he had and make a difference to actually improve lives. Purposely kneeling to cause a reaction will never solve anything, actual charity work will.
Roseanne deserved to be fired. I'd suggest quit lumping all people who consider themselves right wing into a general populous. No one thinks the same, and an overwhelming majority said Roseanne had it coming.

Yea, I think most on the right would agree that Disney has the right to fire her. The problem most see is the hypocrisy. If Roseanne was an Obama/Clinton supporter and called Trump all types of names under the sun, she would have, at most, been forced to apologize and would have been suspended for a week or so. They already set that precedent with the one lady from ESPN (don't recall her name at the moment.) But, since she is on the right, they are not going to come to her defense, instead firing her immediately. The same thing happened to Tim Allen, and his comments were much less brash. Fox should pick Roseanne up, too, and have a power hour.

I cant name a single rational conservative that went out to defend Roseanne and her statements. Roseanne is not the embodiment of Trump supporters, she's a crazy lady. She made a joke about wearing a Hitler mustache and putting cookies into the oven that were made to represent the Jews. No one on the right considers her 'sane', let alone credible.
I will say the problem I do have with the media is that they have this glaring double standard. There was an MSNBC female commentator (only pointing out gender because I cant remember her name) that commented on this Roseanne statement and Twitter harassment in general. Not even a week ago, she made public tweets that were homophobic and anti-Semitic. She claimed she didn't do it, then claimed she had amnesia (one of the worst excuses I've ever heard, it's been outdated for over 30 years), and then claimed she was hacked. Instead of getting fired like she should have been, she didn't even have to make a statement of apology.
This idea that Roseanne and 'right wingers' (Roseanne isn't a true right winger) only do this is naïve and foolish. Whenever someone does something on this level, they should be fired under any circumstance.
