    My father was Jewish, and he could say all Jewish people should be killed and I still would say he doesn’t deserve to be put in jail

    Roseanne Barr is jewish and recently denied the holocaust but also said that it should have happened.

    Sure we’re not gonna put her in jail but she’s a guaranteed laughing stock and everyone knows it.

    She straight up wrecked her career with that kind of thinking.

    You don’t have to go to jail for everyone to hate you for what you are. Have fun not being in jail lol

      This is true, but public reaction isn’t the same as government intervention. People are accountable for their actions to others. The government can’t limit speech but businesses can limit speech on their premises, and individuals can hold people accountable.

      That saying Rosanne fucked herself years earlier with the “Ambien tweet” and that was decades after pissing off everyone while grabbing her crotch when singing the national anthem. She’s had a lot of controversies. The fact she even had a platform to say something about the holocaust is insane, considering her career was toast after the Ambien thing. Which kind of sucks for her because the Conners are still going strong.

        I mean I don’t even care about government intervention. My point was you don’t need to be put in jail for being a bad person.

        If you’re a bad person- you’ll get treated as such.
