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!
Another “has-been, never was.”
Time to call the Secret Service!
Just took him off the list of entertainers I will watch. Hope the same happens to him all sponsors and venues shun him and he never is able to work again.
Hollywood, ISIS boot camp
Go ahead Jim,. Go get the same head she used and hold it up. Do it.
Jim Carey needs to be deported to his homeland of Canada. No room for this violence or disrespect in US society or had you not noticed?
He appears, atleast this pic, he looks insane, hopefully someone with n his circle will seek help for him!
Wouldn’t it be nice if the secret service opened a couple FEMA camps and put these liberal assholes away for threatening the sitting president of the United States? Perhaps a couple dozen to set an example and the rest would knock off their c**p so we can work to make this country great again.
Oh .so Kathy does want the president murdered ,according to Carrey.thanks for sharing that,
You CANNOT threaten to kill someone. You cannot yell fire in a crowded theater. YOU can be held responsible for any resulting injuries.
