Poor Kathy Griffin

[Brian37]

Kathy's allowed to do what she did.

People are allowed to stop watching her TV shows or buying tickets to her performances.

That's pretty much it.

And I am allowed as a fellow liberal to tell her what she did was not wise.

I love how you fucking flip. Be consistent Ted did far worse because his was not simply a bad joke, it was a direct threat to Obama. He also at one concert threatened Hillary too.

And what you forget just like CJ is that neither Kathy or Ted are in public office.

You and I are private citizens. As a person running for office or a politician in office your role is that of diplomat, not Jerry Springer Guest.

Do not hand me any fucking shit, that if it was Kathy running for office instead of Hillary, that you would find it ok for that to be done on an OFFICIAL political website by the candidate themselves?

Don't tell me if Obama had put a picture of McCain or Romney on his political page while running, a "joke" with either of them with decapitated heads.

TRUMP doesn't have to go even that far. His followers hear him shout "lock her up" and "2nd Amendment" he cant simply chalk that off to a "joke". 

You keep missing the point like others here that there is a HUGE difference between the blasphemy and ridicule done by private citizens and the private sector media, and a politician in office. 

The thing you have to ask yourself to know POLITICIANS cannot and should not vilify media or entire groups of people, is to ask yourself if it would be ok if the opposition party could do the same things while running or in office.

If your answer is no, then you should not tolerate Trump's tactics.

If it would not be ok for Hillary or Obama to make 2nd Amendment jokes about rivals, if it would not be ok for Hillary or Obama to vilify entire groups of people, if it would not be ok for them to shit on those who served in the military, if it would not be ok for Hillary or Obama to attack rivals or the press overseas, LIKE TRUMP DID AGAIN TODAY, then why is it ok for Trump to do that?

I am sick of people not understanding the language used in the private sector as a private non politician, and the role of a politician.
