Fresno State professor who mocked Barbara Bush’s death is getting a reality check - StLucieBengal - 04-18-2018 https://www.dailywire.com/news/29615/fresno-state-professor-who-bragged-she-couldnt-be-ryan-saavedra She can be fired. Dancing on the grave of Barbara bush could affect her career. Honestly why would anyone allow someone like this work at their school.

"Barbara Bush was a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal. Fuk outta here with your nice words." She was free to express those words about a lady that had recently passed and folks should be free to hold her accountable for her words. Not sure what the PC police have to do with it.

Any time some idiot says something stupid and is then held accountable by a private organization people rush to complain about our overly PC society and/or they start erroneously claiming the right to free speech protects people from getting fired, etc. I don't even use that sarcasm ninja. You can't make me. Free speech, yo. RE: Fresno State professor who mocked Barbara Bush’s death is getting a reality check - BmorePat87 - 04-18-2018 What a classless and trashy asshole. I hope she's fired. I also hope this same standard expressed by the OP is seen no matter the ideology of the offender.

I hope she's fired. Agreed Barbara Bush was good and strong person. Personally, I admire her, even if I didn't always agree with the politics of her son. No cause for those trashy insults. RE: Fresno State professor who mocked Barbara Bush’s death is getting a reality check - ballsofsteel - 04-19-2018 I always admired Barbara Bush also. Seemed like a very classy lady. She shouldn't be to blame for what her dotard son did.

When a celebrity passes I will often make a "too soon?" joke on a page I run. It's a tribute to Joan Rivers who use to do that all the time...and I like to make the point that just because someone was famous it doesn't mean their death is any more important than anyone else who died that day. And also that death should be something so feared that we cannot make light of it. I make exceptions: War heros, people who fought off a disease and lost, people held only in the highest esteem, etc. I caught flack once for making a joke about the girl who played the youngest child on the "Partridge Family." People took that one WAY seriously for some reason. I did NOT make a comment on Barbara Bush because a) She seemed like a honest, fine woman b) She fought a disease c) I was being lazy. There are plenty of things one could say to criticize the late Mrs. Bush, and those can be discussed in the future. In the OP case it was entirely "too soon" and too crass a way of discussing her flaws. She has a "right" to say what she wants. Her place of employment, however, can enforce their own rules and punish her for them. FTR: The guy I share the page with, who I have known and worked with since 1992, agree that whichever of us outlives the other there better be a good joke made!

RE: Fresno State professor who mocked Barbara Bush’s death is getting a reality check - Bengalzona - 04-19-2018 This professor was not the only one dishing dirt on Barbara Bush after her death. This, from Roger Stone: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/roger-stone-disses-barbara-bush-nasty-drunk-news-132928624.html?soc_src=community&soc_trk=tw Further evidence (as if we needed it) that here are asshole's on both sides of the political aisle. Coward wouldn't have said that crap to her face when she was alive.

RE: Fresno State professor who mocked Barbara Bush’s death is getting a reality check - BengalHawk62 - 04-19-2018 I have/had nothing against Barbara. I'd sit and drink a bourbon with her any day of the week.

I was talking to a lady at lunch (she runs the business) and she said they called Barbara "The Enforcer". I laughed and said she was married to a guy who fought in WWII, headed the CIA was VP AND POTUS but SHE was the enforcer! Must have been a tough old broad!

RE: Fresno State professor who mocked Barbara Bush’s death is getting a reality check - fredtoast - 04-20-2018 Okay, I am confused. Why the hell should someone be fired just for saying something insulting about the wife of a former President? I don't get it.

Who exactly are the people calling for her to be fired?? Are they the people who complain that conservative speech is silenced on campus or the people supposed to silence conservative speech? The latter are usually called "PC."
