The
“Roseanne” revival was abruptly canceled by ABC Tuesday following
crude, racist tweets sent by show star Roseanne Barr about
former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett. And while there’s absolutely no
excuse for Barr’s tweets, it’s extremely hypocritical of ABC to
continue airing “The View” given all the abhorrent things the
co-hosts have said.
In February,
Behar infamously and openly mocked the Christian faith of Vice
President Mike Pence and millions of Americans when she proclaimed
that the ability to hear messages from God is not a marker of faith,
but “mental illness.” It took Beharweeksto
apologize, and she only did so after constant public criticism and
ridicule.
But perhaps
the most disgusting thing to ever fly out of Behar’s mouth occurred
in October 2016. During a discussion about Donald Trump’s news
conference prior to the second presidential debate, Behar called
Bill Clinton’s rape accusers “tramps.” (RELATED: Paula
Jones Responds To Joy Behar For Calling Her a ‘Tramp’).
Yet, she
somehow remains employed, and “The View” remains on the air.
Even the
show’s producers are guilty of outrageous cultural bias: in October
2017, they censored the word “Jesus” – twice. (RELATED: ‘The
View’ Censors ‘Jesus’, Twice).
Are the
statements of Behar, Goldberg, and co. protected under the First
Amendment? Yes, they are. So are Barr’s tweets, however misinformed.
But Barr is also a conservative, and because of that, she doesn’t
enjoy the same treatment under the law as liberals like Behar and
Goldberg do. So while “Roseanne” gets canceled, “The View” lives on.
It’s
outrageous that ABC immediately jumped to cancel “Roseanne” mere
hours after her tweets. Meanwhile, Behar should have been canned a
long time ago, but ABC continues to give her a platform to spew her
bigotry and hate.
FBI
files confirm that Valerie Jarrett comes from a long line of
Communists. Not Liberals or Socialists, but Reds.
FBI
papers obtained by government watchdogJudicial
Watchdocument hard-core communism in
the family ofValerie
Jarrett, Obama’s most trusted and influential advisor.
Here’s what they reveal about her Chicago family, who were
known as “Concealed Communists”:
Her
late father,James
E. Bowman, was involved with Communist front groups and
was in contact with a paid Soviet agent in the 1950s —Alfred
Stern— who was wanted for espionage.
Jarrett’s
maternal grandfather,Robert
Rochon Taylor, was involved with such Communist fronts
as the American Peace Mobilization and the Chicago Civil
Liberties Committee. A fellow member of these groups was Frank
Marshall Davis, the Communist journalist who in the
1970s would mentor a young Barack Obama. An FBIdocumentshows
that Taylor, like Valerie Jarrett’s father, was believed to
have been “in contact” with the aforementioned Soviet agent
Alfred Stern “on a number of occasions.”
Valerie
Jarrett’s maternalgrandmother,
Dorothy Taylor, was an activist withPlanned
Parenthoodin its early years. Planned
Parenthood was founded in 1942 byMargaret
Sanger, a member of the New York Socialist Party and a
eugenicist who favored the use of use birth control to limit
the reproduction of society’s “least intelligent and fit”
members. Toward that end, Sanger in 1939 created the so-called
“Negro Project” specifically to prevent black people from
breeding. HerBirth
Control Reviewmagazine once
published an article emphasizing the “urgent need” for
“eugenic sterilization.” That piece was penned by none other
than Ernst Rüdin, who, asJonah
Goldbergpoints out, was Adolf
Hitler’s director of sterilization and a founder of the Nazi
Society for Racial Hygiene.
Her
late father-in-law,Vernon
D. Jarrett, was assigned by the Communist Party USA to a
special cultural arts “cell” that spread “the Communist Party
line” and ran publicity for communist candidates and also
raised money for them, the FBI says. He helped the cell spread
communist propaganda “among the middle class,” indoctrinating
them through newspaper columns, radio shows, speeches, plays
and other cultural anesthesia. Jarrett was such a threat as a
Communist propagandist that he was flagged by the FBI as an
internal security risk to be swiftly arrested in the event of
a hot war with the Soviet Union. The FBI also investigated his
wife, Fernetta “Fern” Jarrett, for Communist activities.
Valerie
Jarrett’smotheris
the early-childhood-education author Barbara Taylor Bowman
(born 1928), who in 1966co-foundeda
Chicago-based graduate school in child development known as
theErikson
Institute, named after the psychoanalyst Erik Erikson.
In 1950 Erikson became a hero to the Left by choosing to
resign from his professorship at the University of California
rather than sign an anti-Communist loyalty oath as the school
required. The Erikson Institute’s radical orientation is
reflected in the fact that its board of trustees hasincludedsuch
figures asBernardine
Dohrn, wife of the formerWeather
Undergroundterrorist and lifelong
MarxistBill
Ayers, and Tom Ayers, father of the same lifelong
Marxist.
These
FBI files on Jarrett’s relatives are voluminous, covering
their un-American activities during the height of the Cold
War, when the FBI said the Communist Party USA sought to alter
the American form of government “by unconstitutional means.”
