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!
Well, there’s someone you might not want in your corner. He’s got some legal problems of his own…
They are evil people.
Too bad! He has no brain either!
Wow time to remind him how it works when law and order is in position, the people in spotlight do not have filters any more, they have regressed to being childish and shaking without thinking about consequences, is time to make them pay up
How long will this fool be able to be free from jail? How do we know that he is not truly mentally ill? Plus he is igniting those that are mentally ill to do things they shouldn’t do. The legistators need to make laws that will put these people behind bars!!!!!
That’s against the law to say that.
So sick of these assholes getting away with talking like this. Why are they not locked up? I had too deal with Obama for 8 years. And I never spoke such venom filled words as all these sorry$#%&!@*libtards are about Trump.
Wow Jim I hope you’re just trying to be funny, If not then you might wind up wishing you had kept it to yourself.
Jim you are a criminal.
It’s jail time for this guy
