It could have been worse. He could have said she looked like Hillary.

Hit a soft spot there.
Where's the story? He said something ignorant and he was fired. End of story. If employers knew some of the shit people say on here, they would likely get canned too

So someone exercised some free speech and our lefties don't have a problem that he was fired. Remember when George Bush's head ended up on an episode of Game of Thrones. No one got fired over that. Of course, the fired host says that he was quoted out of context. He says that he was talking about the guest and not Michelle. The guest was a man who did make up jobs on himself to make him look like celebrities (female and otherwise). He did a Michelle and the host (his claim) said that he thought the guest looked like he was an character from Planet of the Apes.

So, no free speech for the people who may, or may not, insult the wicked witch or her little dog.

in matters of race, truth is always the first victim

now I don't think anyone's worth is tied into how they look...well ok..im fudging a little
but why go to extremes and lie? the way these liberal shills talked about her reminded me of the emperor's new clothes

figeroa didn't call her an ape as a racial comment, or even call her an ape, it wasn't about her, it was about the imitator, it seemed more like an attempt at a "mr. black or a joan rivers" scathing "humorous" assault on a bad make up job on an imitator, but there are different rules in matters such as this i suppose, and what really occurred doesnt matter, just like in ferguson

why didn't his cohost de Molina get fired for lying calling her attractive?

"His co-hosts reacted quickly. Lili Estefan said, "What are you saying?" and Raul de Molina said Michelle was an attractive woman. Still, Rodner stood by his shocking statement, saying, "But it is true."

figeroa is now down to pulling out the gay card and the half black in the family card

He enjoyed his free speech. He said what he said. He is now reaping the rewards of living in a civilized society where such things have become unacceptable. He certainly has the right to say whatever he wishes. His employer also has the right to fire him. I'm sure there are clauses in his contract and the contract of any tv personality that provide for such actions. And your lame attempt at defending the man is pitiful. He was made up to look like the First Lady and the man commented on it, by extension commenting on the First Lady.

Really? This attempt at trying to explain away what happened is beyond pitiful. Read it back to yourself quietly and try not to laugh. I dare you.
