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!
looks like a new lawsuit to me Just kidding lol but maybe Funny Guy Jim Carrey needs to be Murdered alone with Kathy Griffin wow made you laugh
He’s a commie look at that Marx beard,
get yout lawyers ready you will need it
Your career is drying up… what was left of it. With all your money I can’t figure out why you haven’t moved to a war torn country where people would still laugh at your obnoxious attempt at comedy. Wow, Kathy Griffin could have a whole new career there with you.
well stupid. You’ve seen what has happened to her career. You just drove a nail in your already sinking career.
Bobby Leatherwood You are right on, but it sure is a sad state of mind how totally opposite we think from the dems. I keep praying that God will help our nation to come together for once. I hope we are nearing the end of our earthly lives so we can join Jesus in Heaven.
Jim Carey needs to be neutered
Another so called comedian when all he did is act natural a damn moron.He couldn’t make a pimple on a real comedians butt!!!!
Arrest his ass
Great … I suppose we’ll be seeing this wooly boogar all over FB now along with that shill comedian I’ve never even heard of. Last laugh’s on them though. Hardly surprising when all anyone need do is follow the money. Trump rightfully cut off funding to Holly-Was and the has-been’s are bitter.
