Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Me right now, Part 2:
Honestly, I'd subscribe to a month of her Patreon if she did a shot-for-shot remake of this GIF with Trevor Noah.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Tweet of 2017. It's only March but it's a wrap.

Is she going to rake in a bunch of money from rubes by doing her own thing or will she get picked up by another network?

Weird how just the words "pro-choice" or "hypocrite" are this emotionally damaging that they have to ban people for saying it. People on the Internet kept telling me and other ultra-liberals were the sensitive ones who needed a safe space from "controversial" ideas.
Now that you've posted this, I neeeeeed it.

She was going to jump somewhere else regardless when her contract ran out.
I dunno, the abortion faux pas... not a lot of conservatives going to want to touch that.
Free speech is all well and good but who's going to want a pro-choice conservative? At least on the conservative side.

It's almost like... people need to be sheltered from ideas they don't like! Toughen up, guys. No one protects you in the real world, right?
On another note- I know most of the BUT FREEZE PEACH! posts are joking, but it's worth saying there's a difference between a paid host and covering something like Westboro. Neither is a free speech issue, but one is "news" and the other is a contracted host, and both are choices of platforms offered by a paying service. I think that point is worth forwarding in all related situations. Almost none of the "free speech" issues in the past several years are.

Would this be any different if it was a man saying exactly what she is saying?

A person lost her job for being more open, and we're celebrating it? I don't get it
She's still a terrible person.
LOL, no we are not doing this

I wish nothing but ill will in regards to her career. I know she will land a bigger gig than the Blaze, but I hope things don't pan out for her.

You mean the woman who openly mocked Syria war refugees as cowards?
She has said horrible shit before, and has even lied about her abortion beliefs, so yeah, I've no sympathy for her.

Most people are laughing and cheering at the sheer hypocrisy from right leaning media. They falsely identify any situation where Liberals don't want to give bigotry a platform as an attack on free speech and then The Blaze bans Tami for sharing her views.
Tami is just another vessel to spew hate and she will continue to have a platform and she will be replaced on The Blaze.

If she was a regular news commentor loosing her job for being pro-choice I would absolutely be up in arms, but she isn't a "regular news commentor" at all. She's built up her entire career on hatred and bigotry, so I have no sympathy for her loosing her job over this.

Wonder if she could top Colin Moriartys 40k a month Patreon
She's a horrible person that says horrible things about people to make them feel like shit for just being how they were born. People are happy something hilariously ironic happened to her.
That doesn't mean we agree with why she was fired.
She got booted from a right wing media outlet just because she is pro choice and therefore differs in views in an area from The Blaze, the hypocrisy is astounding. People like Tomi have been screaming "snowflake" at people like Colin Kaepernick for protesting during NFL games and those people at Berkeley who didn't allow Milo to speak. She has learned a valuable lesson that free speech is not something you are guaranteed by a private organization, that saying things can indeed have negative consequences.

Honestly, Lahren is very young (24), entertaining, relatively well-spoken (even if the words she speaks are abhorrent), and attractive. She'll land on her feet rather quickly, I suspect. I say this as someone that has only agreed with her on one thing (her pro-choice stance).

The fact that she's on the receiving end of the same thought process that conservatives (including herself) have been using to screw over anyone who isn't straight and white is cause for schadenfreude.
Conservative infighting is always worth celebrating, especially when it highlights their hypocrisy. She was always going to get a better platform after leaving The Blaze anyway.

That's frankly an unproductively reductive read of the situation and I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish with it.

The sad part in all this is that she'll absolutely learn the wrong lesson from this; she got fired for the first honest thing she's said in her entire career.
She also essentially called pro lifers conservatives hypocrites since conservative/republican are for small limited government and yet wand laws against republicans.

I shame both this and people who flipped out when Bernie dared to use the word "unqualified" in a rhetorical context. Free speech radical 4 lyfe.

I mean kinda, but there's someone worse waiting in line to take her spot. I don't see how we, as a society, won here
