#TheResistance: Kathy Griffin Holds Decapitated Trump Head in Photoshoot

[Rookie]

it is one thing to call him names but to cut off his head.....that crosses a line in my book and it should with everyone else.....

Well, IF she did cut off his head, which she didn't, then I agree.

I don't like her message, but I'll defend her rights.

There are a lot of things that are despicable that aren't illegal. This, in my opinion, is just another one.

 

[Birds Away]

What double standard? I don't expect she'll be touring the WH anytime soon.

It could be right in front of your face but you would choose not to see it. It's okay.

I can't imagine the word "Racist" wouldn't be thrown around by the media if the head was Obama, and the person holding it was someone like... I dunno, Tim Allen or Dennis Miller.

The media outrage from this was... quiet? I didn't see a single post about it on Reddit. Whereas I'm confident it would have filled the frontpage if it'd been the other way around.

I think that's the double-standard most of us are referencing.

So, can I ask if you thought Nugent's comments about Obama and Clinton, were also distasteful?

head cut off... I'm not so sure (maybe), but if it was a noose, then yeah, certainly.

Please refresh my memory. I'm not really a big follower of his either.

See this really gets under my skin. While I think the headless Trump is in extremely poor taste the very thought of what you describe infuriates me. But then it always seems to be the left bringing it up.

he called Clinton a ***** and told Obuma to suck on his machine gun.........no head cutting off.....

He made a comment about chopping off heads during the Romney/Obama campaign. It's was kinda cryptic, but I assumed he was just using colorful language to say "beat the Democrats." He also threw in some choice words concerning Obama. He got a SS visit as well.

Nothing wrong with that. I've called her worse.

and told Obuma(sic) to suck on his machine gun.........no head cutting off.....

That's pretty tasteless... Ted should know better. But he probably doesn't care.

It crosses the line for any sort of decency. What I waver on is if it crosses the line into inciting violence. I've not clicked any of the links to learn particulars as I don't really care enough about her to bother and I don't want to help the story spread/reward it with clicks. Clicks are money, and what we reward we get more of.

I don't support such rhetoric on either side.

Agreed, but goes back to the "double standard" comment, and my WH comment. Nugent was a guest at the WH...and I doubt Griffin, after this, will ever have the honor; and rightfully so.

43rd President;
- "what if" documentary on his assassination
- frequently compared to a monkey
- mocked for his Texas accent

44th President;
- rodeo clown with Obama mask fired

45th President;
- rap video shows his execution
- comedienne poses for picture following staged decapitation

 

[wagyu52]

Not sure what being a lesbian (or not) has anything to do with this. Point is, it was incredibly tasteless. And I agree, if this was either Hillary's or Obama's bloody severed head, Griffin's career would be OVER.

Reproduction. Guess I just hope she is sterile and has no desire to adopt. We don't need a mini me of her running around.

 

[Crusader17]

I hope her door gets busted in by the secret service.

I pay little attention to who is on the WH guest list. Other than to be envious when they have some of their "concerts". I will give Obama credit in that area. He had some really excellent performers at the WH.

For as much complaining as I hear about the liberal media force feeding people stuff, they must not be doing a very good job if that's all you got for the 44th president, compared to the others.

Interesting at the lengths some will allow govt to go, when it's someone they disagree with.
