CNN Suspends Roland Martin For 'Offensive' Remarks

Critics Say Tweets During Super Bowl Were Homophobic

CNN)
-- CNN said Wednesday it has suspended political analyst Roland Martin for "regrettable and offensive" Tweets written during the Super Bowl that critics said appeared to call for violence against gays.

"Roland Martin's Tweets were regrettable and offensive," the network said in a statement. "Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not tolerated. We have been giving careful consideration to this matter, and Roland will not be appearing on our air for the time being." The statement did not specify how long Roland would be suspended.

"If a dude at your Super Bowl party is hyped about David Beckham's H&M underwear ad, smack the ish out of him! #superbowl," one of the Tweets said. "Who the hell was that New England Patriot they just showed in a head to toe pink suit? Oh, he needs a visit from #teamwhipdatass," said another.

It is not surprising considering most embrace Larry the Cable guy as someone real when in actuality he is a modern day satirist having created and marketed a character that is seeming genuinely real its actually poking fun much like Colbert or William F. Buckley...............the fact that they get any lime light makes them most Liberal and compliant in the machine
Much like this blog it paints Mr. Albero much in the same....not that of someone of any virtue but using the media available to further inflate his ego and reinforce his civil shortcomings as a true patriot and participant in any real positive change its like old shore party line gossipers with scanners in their kitchens that rubber neck at fires and accidents and show up everywhere thinking they exact any REAL influence when in fact they impede business and progress
