Now that Roseanne Barr is back in the news thanks to that hideous tweet she fired off about Barack Obama and one of his senior presidential advisers, I thought I would share this video of the comic’s rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner.”
She offered this hideous version of the National Anthem in 1990.
So I am moved to ask whether this is more or less disrespectful of the flag, of the nation, and of our veterans than professional athletes “taking a knee” to protest police treatment of some U.S. citizens.
I’ll inclined to side with those who think Roseanne’s “singing” of the anthem is the more more egregious example of disrespect.
