The Right is not innocent of this behaviour either, but when have they ever been known for tolerance and forgiveness? He is not excusing or attempting to blame the Left for Roseanne's actions. Your inability to even hear him out, is further evidence to his point.

The point of complaining about how people focused on the ape part of the tweet, is that if Roseanne truly meant to compare her to an ape, and all the racial connotations that come with it, she would have said: "muslim brotherhood and ape had a baby".

Now if you could take a moment to look at all the side by side photos of Valerie Jarrett to Helena Bonham Carter's Ari from Planet of the Apes. Perhaps this is where the comparison was made, with human-acted ape-like characters, rather than with apes themselves ? Perhaps this is akin to white people dressing up as black people for Halloween and not understanding the connection to racial black face and why it is offensive? Is that not a teachable moment to which the Left was so adept at?

Yes she made a really bad joke here, one which she apologized for. It is impossible to say for certain what her true intentions were behind her tweet. The only way to tell is by her actions going forward, to see if she has learned from this experience. Unfortunately, society is progressing to where punishment is immediate, and second chances are not given.
