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!
They are all sick pathetic has beens and have made enemies of all the Trump supporters! May you all has beens crawl into each others asses and smother!! I will never watch another movie or show that any of you are in nor will I ever buy a product from your sponsors! When you don’t support your own country or the people who have made you the millionaires that you are you need to move to another country that will put up with your total b******t!!
You see, Carole, there’s a thing protecting them (and us) called the First Amendment. But there’s quite a different between what you’re allowed to say and what you should say…
And he will get away with comments like that????? What about the laws against threats, actions, etc. against a President, his cabinet and families? I guess that means nothing!!! Once again enableing it too happen!!!
What is with all this hate? Enough already.
Now they are trotting out the mentally handicapped. Make no mistake Carrey is as crazy as a$#%&!@*house rat, just ask his 4 ex wives .
It’s time to arrest a few of these meat heads!
Wow, I have never watched Kathy, don’t go for that type of ?comedy, and Jim Carry, watched him early on in his career but cannot stand him now. So they can do nothing I am interested in. Just shameful they are try to resurrect their careers by being and confirming they are not worth my time or money.
And he needs to be jailed.
If I see this POS out on the street I’m punching his lights out .
AND TO LISA BLOOM—-you say Griffin didn’t mean it to be what it looks like!!!!! REALLY, REALLY, WHST OTHER MEANING WOULD IT BE. YOU ARE JUST AS VIVIOUS AS HER. LAWYER HER IF YOU HAVE TOO, BUT YOU LOOK VERY BAD SAYING SHE DIDN’T MEAN HARM!!!!!!
