Samantha Bee losing sponsors

TheDoctorIsIn · 2018-06-09T18:22:46.906Z

Ok. So what?

Blueslegend · 2018-06-09T18:27:05.542Z

Your attempt to deflect to the GOP failed to acknowledge that these are liberal sponsors abandoning a liberal.

TheDoctorIsIn · 2018-06-09T18:29:35.488Z

I was not “deflecting to the GOP”.

I was responding directly to thinkingman’s post, where he minimized Laura Ingraham’s comments and shifted the blame to Hogg, in attempting to differentiate “good” boycotts from “bad” ones.

BillBrown:

How can one admit what they did was “inexcusable” and expect anyone to excuse them?

Because that’s the way apologies work.

Or in her case ‘how they don’t work’.

The fact that you’re choosing not to accept her apology does not negate the apology.

Not to mention, you’re not a victim here.

So when PA Hogg rejected Ingraham’s apology, it wasn’t negated?

TheDoctorIsIn · 2018-06-09T21:22:39.479Z

No, it wasn’t negated. High chose not to accept it, but that didn’t make it disappear.

There is, of course, a significant difference as well - namely, Hogg was the target of Ingraham’s remarks - BillBrown was not the target of Bee’s remarks.

Hogg, not “High”.

I miss the edit function.

I miss it too. They’re supposed to be returning it.

Here’s to hope.

WildRose · 2018-06-10T07:33:26.332Z

So you didn’t intend to eat it?

WildRose · 2018-06-10T07:36:45.088Z

No, that’s how trying to save your ass works.

WildRose · 2018-06-10T07:37:42.990Z

The insincerity negates the “apology”.

She’s not apologizing, she’s trying to save her job.

I like how she’s reclaiming the word.

Was she successful in reclaiming the word by calling Ivanka a ■■■■■

I still want to know what reclaiming a word means.

I can see how you would think that.

I find that Conservatives never apologize, and never accept apologies.

It’s part of the breakdown in civility these days.

And liberals can simply say or do anything they want, then apologize, and it’s like nothing ever happened.

And it’s conservative’s fault civility has broken down?

To be as one-sided as that and act like there’s no incivility on one side when you have President Trump who has made fun of the handicapped, called entire ethnic communities by racial slurs along with many other things is really flying blind. Liberals do not say anything they want. If anything, given some of the slurs thrown at President Obama, they’ve been pretty mild.

Give us some examples of this.

That’s what the guy said- it’s conservatives’ fault civility is breaking down. I never said it was one-sided.
