I have a prediction about where all this heading, but bear with me for a few minutes.
Americans are laboring under the misconception that Kathy Griffin made a mistake when she publicized a photo in which she was holding up a severed bloody head of President Donald Trump. That was no mistake. Don’t believe anything you see in the mainstream media that says otherwise. Don’t believe her belated apology for the photo only after the backlash. This was a purposeful promotion and she knew before the photo was ever created that it would be controversial. She knew all of this…and still decided to proceed with the distasteful display. But why?
Simple answer: Publicity.
Griffin is the type of comedienne who has made a career out of bullying and belittling others. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. Don Rickles himself was a master of that art. If you went to a Rickles stand-up show, you were well aware of the repercussions if he happened to have looked in your direction and your acne had been acting up that day…or your hair wasn’t quite behaving. You knew that if he saw you, all bets were off. He went at you relentlessly until he spotted another victim in the audience. Hecklers were welcomed, but few, in Rickles’ acts. Knowing all this, audiences continued to pay for tickets to see him.
Griffin on the other hand is of the new school of comedy. Joan Rivers made Griffin’s take on comedy long before the D-Lister ever hit the stage. But Griffin’s talent was undeniable. She was sharp, funny and in the Joan Rivers tradition, cutting. But being an audience member in her show wasn’t necessarily entering the battle zone, as it was in Don Rickles’ acts. Griffin was always more focused on actors and singers, denigrating them as often as possible and drawing laughs, as well as the ire of the targets of the jokes. Even Melissa Rivers, daughter of Joan, described the Anderson Cooper BFF as having “S**t all over my mother’s legacy.”
This whole business with the photo of the Trump beheading has stirred up a hornet’s nest of comedians who are now circling the wagons and loaded for bear in order to ward off the “big, bad Republicans” who are out to get them. Amazing how that works, isn’t it? Comedians who mock everyone else have now gotten their feelings hurt by people whose feelings they’ve hurt?
Leave it the Lefties to think this crap up…read on the next page for my brilliant prediction!
SOMEONE SHOULD MURDER YOU, JACKASS!
He looks as crazy as he sounds. Now this is a direct threat and nothing is being done about it. What’s going on in this country that the presidents life is threatened over and over and the ones making the threats get away with it.?
So because Trump is trying to save our country, he’s being targeted. But Obama can pretty much break what ever law he wants and bankrupt our country he gets praised on his presidency. How screwed up are the American people.
This guy should be deported. Jim is from Canada.
And soon to be jailbird
That’s why he takes Medications , Because he’s fucking nuts.
Should be arrested for threatening life of president
Jimmy boy needs a wake up call himself and a bit of time to cool off, a jail cell sounds about right for this misfit and moron.
Where’s the outrage from all sane people? Had ultra conservative idiot said anything remotely similar to that about Obama or Michelle aka Michael Robinson or either one of their adopted daughters the liberals as well as the conservatives would be denouncing these asswipes like him and Griffin and O’Donnell and Chet and Ashley Judd and Madonna and those cunts on The View
They are both.mental…
