Cumia was in the wilderness for 10 years before he got that part-time gig at ABC. And did any of them get their ORIGINAL job back like Kimmel did, at full pay? See the difference?
What he do? I don't even know who he is.

He's right. But where's the outrage when the roles are reversed? If this had been a conservative talk show host who had made a similar remark about a Democrat activist who was murdered, there would be multiple cities burning still. And you can bet your sweet ass they would NEVER allow him back on air. Forever. So at least be consistent. It's all I ask.

It's funny how the left is trying to frame this as a "free speech" issue.

But when it was, say, Roseanne, it's all about how vile what she said was, which then justifies any consequences meted out. They didn't care about free speech then.

But with Kimmel it's about his right to say whatever he wants. They generally don't debate whether what he said was accurate or not. And because they're not dumb (some of them anyway), they know it's not actually a free speech issue when it's a private company so they disingenuously pretend that this was ABC acting in response to pressure from the government.

And now he's coming back on the air, which literally proves that the government didn't force them to fire him. But that's ok because their lie that the government made this happen served its purpose, it doesn't matter if it's shown to be false after the fact.

That encapsulates it perfectly. There's always a different set of rules for us, that are far more unfair than they would meter out to their own.

She's very good looking, too, so you know the left hates her even more.

Sounds like the FCC guy wasn't coercive enough, right?

Because I thought the government was censoring ABC. I read it right here.

You know they never let facts get in the way of a convenient narrative. They’re addicted to misinterpreting things in the most outlandish ways.

Think about how bad that is. Just take the religious aspect out of it for a second.

One guy damages property.

Another guy assaults him with a deadly weapon and endangers his life because of the damage to the property, which isn't even his.

The guy that damaged the property gets the tougher sentence and the guy who tried to kill him walks free.

That's not justice. That's insanity.
