Those assholes were screaming for her head. She was in tears over and profusely apologized.
Those same assholes are strangely quiet after that video was played before a pro-tRump crowd.
Fuck. Them. All.

(37,748 posts)one gets to hold themselves to a lower standard than they hold everyone else to.
Once that becomes habit, reality becomes a mere inconvenience, science becomes 'fake', and ethics never have to go farther than the bumper sticker on a primer gray truck.

Endless examples of a double standard. Of course, the media deserves a lot of blame.

(82,849 posts)When they pretend to be all upset with a case of the vapors over something (anything), remember that it's just an act. They have done and will do things that are a hundred times worse. Don't play the game even to the extent of saying that this or that is in questionable taste or close to the line or anything. Let the assholes yammer, and then come right back with what they've done that's worse.

Im depicted as being murdered by The President of the United States in this video.The left, right & center left me hanging out to dry regarding the Trump mask photo. Please dont let it happen again. No, this video isnt a joke to his followers. And it will not be taken as such.

(58,785 posts)various shows for going too far for most people. Trump's bloodied head was not only too far for me, it's also way too similar to the murder-as-entertainment being condemned in this film.
Griffin proactively drew the attention of people who like her oozing over the line to entertain them with what's unacceptable to others, just not her target. Oh, well. This at least gets her some of the attention she badly needs since trashing her own career so badly so many times. Her fans should congratulate her.
Why even one thread here focused on her, much less two or more, I don't know tho. There are honorable and decent people on that thing who did absolutely nothing out of line to attract this hate. Including serving their nation as honest journalists and elected officials, Obama and Hillary among them. Now Hillary's a REAL victim who doesn't get a career boost from this.

(32,556 posts)... however I do like Kathy Griffin and most of the time she's clever and funny.
So much leeway has been given to male comedians over the years, they make mistakes, they go too far sometimes, but Kathy Griffin was ever allowed a mulligan like those guys usually get.
