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!
I have NEVER liked him!!!!
Talk about an inflated ego, Jim and Kathy!…What she did ranks way higher that inciting riots…she is inciting murder. His comments about a dream and wanting to complete the dream more than intimates that he would like to commit murder. What hellish things to say and do.
well, birds of a feathers
This man is crazy, has a mental illness, & has for a long time. He is scary.
Nut job…
Complete idiot
Terrell Smith Kathy Griffin told a reporter for Vulture that she would be “happy to deliver a beat down” to both Donald and Barron Trump in December 2016.
“You know a lot of comics are going to go hard for Donald, but my edge is that I’ll go direct for Barron,” Griffin said at the Equality Now Gala on December 6. “I’m going to get in ahead of the game.”
FBI should do their job now!! Very soon
Here is the thing all of you snowflakes we sucked up 8 years of Obama . Move on we have 4 yrs of Trump. Enough is enough. Any person that had done half of what has been said or done against President Trump to Obama would be in jail for hate crimes! So suck it up buttercups !!
