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 loser has been that never was.
Look at his eyes, the insanity is showing though.
Jim just keep your mouth shut

They should elope to a private island and make each other laugh,wait one of them may die of boredom, because they are boring me to death.
Wtf is that ? His impression of David Letterman ?
Jim C. Another actor that is not relevant today trying to get some of Kathy G s spot light. They should both be charged. These two people are so disgusting. There are no words. To go after an eleven year old child for politics is just crazy. They left Obama’s children alone for eight years. Why can’t they give this child a chance. If this was one of your children and someone did this to them how would you react.
Carey says he’s dieing up here ,well I hope he succedes.Go back to CANADA$#%&!@*
Looney Bin!
Hmmm….this sounds like a death threat against the president, to me!!
