Changes

During the 2008 [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] primaries, Barr was a supporter of [[Hillary Clinton]] for president and was very critical of [[Barack Obama]], describing him as "an empty suit selling hope in lieu of Truth." Like many Clinton supporters, as soon as Obama won the Democratic nomination, Barr immediately recanted her previous statements and became an Obama supporter. She has also described former [[Vietnam War]] [[POW]] Senator [[John McCain]] as "the most racist right wing [[Republican]] ever."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.roseanneworld.com/blog/2008/01/barak_obama.php |title=Barack Obama at Roseanne World |accessdate=2008-02-22}}</ref>

Despite her far left-wing positions, she has actually been critical of the "gay rights" movement. A 1992 ''Playboy'' magazine article quoted a letter in which Barr used numerous homophobic slurs to try to insult then ''USA Today'' reviewer Matt Roush.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sonic.net/maledicta/monitor.html |title=Maledicta Mirror |accessdate=2008-02-22}}</ref> On April 6, 2007, during Barr's show on California's KCAA radio, she commented that "gay and lesbian people definitely practiced a divide and conquer mentality where, you know, it always has to be about them" and that gay people "don't care about minimum wage, they don't care about any other group other than their own self because you know, some people say being gay and lesbian is a totally narcissistic thing and sometimes I wonder."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goodasyou.org/good_as_you/2007/04/wherein_we_chan_1.html |title=Wherein we channel our inner Darlene Conner}}</ref>
