Paula Deen

This is so over the top it’s Kafkaesque.
Paula Deen’s publisher has canceled a deal with her for multiple books, including an upcoming cookbook that was the No. 1 seller on Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com, following her admission she used a racial slur.
Ballantine Books announced Friday it would not release “Paula Deen’s New Testament: 250 Favorite Recipes, All Lightened Up,” which was scheduled for October and was the first of a five-book deal announced early last year. Interest in it had surged as Deen, who grew up in Albany, Ga., and specializes in Southern comfort food, came under increasing attack for acknowledging she had used the N-word.
Ballantine, an imprint of Random House Inc., said it had decided to cancel the book’s publication after “careful consideration.” It had no comment beyond what was in its brief statement, spokesman Stuart Applebaum said.
The “N” word, or as Lenny Bruce would say, “NIGGER”. In fact as Denzel Washington, Samuel Jackson, Chris Rock, etc. etc. do say (sorry I couldn’t come up with the names of any Rap or Hiphop “artists” since I know every other word out of their mouths is nigger).
This whole sack of shit is beyond over-board, it’s overkill and please allow me to be part of the splash back. God-damn Liberal Thought Control!
(this is a draft, after I get back I’ll tell you what I really think)
Update:
Corporate double-standard? Capitol One silent on Alec Baldwin’s homophobic tweets while Deen loses everything for racial slur
In the accompanying story, it reveals that the “N-Word” incident was thirty years ago…
THIRTY YEARS AGO!!!
“Deen isn’t even conservative, but she is known for Southern cooking and the left hates anything having to do with the South. Baldwin has also polished his liberal bona fides by attacking conservatives. So Baldwin gets a perpetual get-out-of-jail-free card, no matter how insane his actions become,” Gainor claimed.
Nuff’ said!

What is it? Do the progressives have the same impulses of primitive tribes to select a sacrifice and torment and kill it?
Do they do this, every now and then, just to prove they can? Remember Don Imus, the only thing missing from this spectacle is “Rev” Al Sharpton.
