Tragic Media Assault on Kathy Griffin

[Rennadrel]

She is a lot more known then 2 random kids in kansas though.

Also, lets be honest here, that IS why she did it. If the popular thing was to rag on hilary right now, she would join that wagon. It was just fishing for headlines.

Of course, the best way to get attention for yourself when you are washed up and irrelevant is to be an edgelord

[Dextroden]

I don't know what you're trying to say but I doubt the more liberal side of things really are ok with this. Weather Kathy wanted a response to this doesn't really matter It's stupid and anyone is right to be upset about it. Doesn't mean only one side ever has acted like crap in the last 10 years.

I never denied Republicans have been acting like small children. For what possible reason would you (not direct you) also want to act like a small child?

Petty vengeance? Is it not going to look stupid when the same people crying "taste of your own medicine" start whining about the next President on a noose?

Its not whataboutism when its literally the same type of action by the same group, now outraged at the action happening, in the same country, 8 years later.

That's called just hypocrisy, brosephiroth.

No. Hypocrisy is crying about Obummer and then going Donald Dump.

[Uoyredrum]

I mean, if she was trying to offend conservatives she succeeded. I don't think it was particularly funny or tasteful, but conservatives getting butthurt and crying after all of the racism and vitriol against Obama is hilarious, even as someone who isn't a fan of the former potus.

I pose you this question. Is turnabout fair play?

If you want to be a complete and total hypocrite, go ahead.

But don't sit there and pretend to be free speech crusaders who are fighting against PC culture and SJWs when you act exactly like they do.

Embrace, like someone has earlier, that you're just more interested in "winning" than anything else, including country. That's really all I find funny about this, and every situation like this (To the point that I've lost count of how many at this point) happening since Turnip was running/elected.

[WskyDK]

Not really that funny, but then I've never found her comedy to my liking.

[Drilnos]

There isn't really anything tragic or reminiscent of assault about reacting to something this gross with revulsion. I'm actually a little heartened by the reaction. There does seem to be, after all, an upper bound. It's just a shame it's so high though.

[Mojo03]

The look on her face says, "OMG people are finally gonna give me attention"

I think both sides are stupid for going on about anything like this. But it does seem kinda fair. Though, when the left did attack people in ridiculous fashion, it was usually some random person, not a celebrity.

The irony scanner just blew up.

Sucks getting that buzzword thrown at you every time you try to show hypocrisy huh?

You're asking the wrong person. Only petty people know the answer although I think it would be justifications then an explanation.

[Theodarzna]

So, much, this.

I love all the trumpets whinning about "MUH CAN'T TOUCH UBAMA" when he litteraly had worst for 8 years...

What is the word.... errrr.... nice Whataboutery. :3

[KrazyK923]

Ah so I see that's the defense narrative they're going with to ignore their blatant hypocrisy.

So Kathy Griffin does one little photo shoot posing with a replica severed Donald Trump head... and everyone loses their minds. I think we should encourage everyone to take ISIS inspired decapitation pictured with replica Donald Trump heads to show solidarity here.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

So if someone would do a photoshoot with the severed heads of Hillary, Bernie, Merkel and certain Muslim leaders, nobody would lose their minds?

Liberals, lefties in particular, have been openly fantasizing about violence and even assassination against Trump and his supporters since before the elections. It sort of gives stupid shit like this an extra bad flavor.

Welcome to the world of arguing with liberals. Fun isn't it?

Dumb stunt to pull, dumb stunt to get angry over.

According to Krazy, doing this is perfectly fine and only babies would cry about it happening.

/points to Republicans and Democrats crying about these things.

[Ironhorn]

It was tasteless, wrong, stupid, and unfunny..... just like Kathy Griffin's comedy.

[KrazyK923]

Its true I said this was perfectly fine and definitely wasn't on record in page 1 saying it was a stupid publicity stunt.

Try a bit harder next time, champ. Even you can do better.
