Jeff Pelline's Sierra Foothills Report 
ABC hired a racist. No surprise for them when 4 years ago Barr tweeted racist things about Susan Rice- “Ape with balls”. Now they act surprised at what they did. Bull—– it was ratings, profit, market share, they just got caught with their racism in a wringer. .
ABC is owned by Disney. The stereotyping of women as subservient to men, especially in their feature length animations, has a long history. Ole Mickey ain’t no liberal by any stretch of the imagination. They are a dollars first company.
Nature v. Nurture? Was “Bill Tozer” born an idiot, or did it come from his constant interactions with the clowns on George Rebane’s blog. Either way, I find it troubling that my name gets thrown around even when I do not participate in the discussion and am miles away. I live rent free inside their heads. lol. Dr. Phil would have a field day over there.
