Kathy Griffin's photo

Liza's Headband said: "It goes beyond Trump at this point. Anyone who becomes sexually aroused by a picture of a decapitated head has much larger issues. They greatly exceed any ill will you might harbor against a public figure. If you would be legitimately turned on by a picture of Trump's decapitated head, I'd strongly advise you seek professional help.  That's simply not normal, regardless of the subject in question. "

I think people have taken that line a bit too literally.

[Liza's Headband]

Then you should probably just avoid the sentiment in the future. 

[SNAFU]

Take it where it comes Kdogg36

. From someone who it's self is in desperate need of professional help.

I just miss your old Avatar. Where we could see your arms.

Yes. What I meant to convey, in my own admittedly crude way, was something not far off from Clarence Darrow's famous quip: "I never got into the habit of killing. I could mention the names of many that it would please me if I could read their obituaries in the paper in the morning."

Erik, I'll change it back.

[ErikJ972]

Hooray!

Effigy of Hillary

Effigy of Obama

Yesterday I was Charlie, but today I am Kathy.

[SNAFU]

Javero, there is a difference. These effigies were not created and promoted by a performer with a media access and a celebrity status. Not saying I agree, just saying that if you earn your living on the stage, on TV or in any form of mass media, you have to be very judicial on what you put out there. I applaud Kathy for having the balls to make a statement. I thinks she managed to hold up a mirror to help wake people up on the path this country is on. She has that right. She also however has to reap what her expression of her thought has sewn.

 I think is you wish to use an example of the GOP's hypocrisy, Ted Nugent would be a better choice.

[Jay Lerner-Z]

The image was created by Tyler Shields. It was at least an attempt at art, unlike those truly disgusting effigies where nobody can even try to make any justification. Not the same.

[Liza's Headband]

Couldn't any of those same people claim to be an "artist" and make the same argument?  Who decided what is or isn't "art?" 

[Jay Lerner-Z]

I did.

[Liza's Headband]

Sorry. Doesn't work that way.  Try again, babycakes. 

[javero]

Please don't take this as an indictment, but, many of you live in your heads.  I'm often touched by the notion of propriety and decency that some of you cling to.  Nonetheless, Trump has turned back the hands of time and convinced  his followers that political scores are best settled at high noon, law and order be damned.  Come locked and loaded or sit this one out.  Adversaries in this case are the progressive wing of the MSM, proponents of the Affordable Care Act, foes of Putin, supporters of Hillary, and anyone in his ambit with the stones to say "no" to him.

Did I mention that he has a raging hard-on for men in uniform as well as despots.  

Michele Obama's maxim of "when they go low, we go high" was appropriate while her husband served as potus.  Those halcyon days have come and gone.  It's now Trump-time.  He only respects those who give as good as they get, two-fold.  Whatever it takes to rattle his cage.

[Liza's Headband]

You're an idiot.

Interesting observation, considering that he was a cowardly draft dodger.  Among his deferments was one for a pimple on his toe (or some such ridiculous reason).  

I am a United States Navy veteran.  Perhaps you can appreciate my anger when I saw that thug lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington, Virginia on Memorial Day.  He doesn't deserve to set foot on the hallowed ground of that cemetery.  Everything about him disgusts me.

 

 

[Steve C.]

I am angry, but I'm angry at Kathy Griffin. She should have stood her uuucking ground.

rump can get away with ANYTHING ! ANYTIME ! ANYWHERE ! We and the media need to stop this BS! Anderson Cooper just showed what a corporate pretty boy he is by not, (not even half'heartedly) supporting his friend.

Trump is THE ONE that showed us there are no more boundaries, not Kathy Griffin. 

[South Florida]

Liza, don't you think you took his statement a little too seriously?  Steve C. is a smart young man.  I'm trying to get my own picture with that head in a pic but I'm not computer savvy.

 

[SNAFU]

I don't understand why Liza is even still allowed on this site.

[Jane2]

SNAFU, because he thinks we need an unhappy disciplinarian/medical diagnostician.

[SNAFU]

Not to mention Judge.

 

[songanddanceman2]

Not saying I agree with the photo but personally I don't think she should have apologised. And why did we not see such outcry a few weeks back when Snoop released his video with someone looking like Trump getting shot? 

[SNAFU]

Songanddanceman, because Trump is more desperate to get attention taken away from he himself now being under investigation, as NBC reported today.

[songanddanceman2]

SNAFU very true.

There actually was outrage, just not as much since it was only suggested to be Trump. This, on the other hand, is very clear. 

[CarlosAlberto]

Griffin is scheduled to talk about the controversy and 'bullying from the Trump familia' 9 am PST.

This should be interesting.

Not everyone is against Griffin. Only the extremely sensitive snowflakes (I'm looking at YOU Anderson Cooper) are.

Jamie Foxx came to her defense:

"Shazam" host Jamie Foxx told Entertainment Tonight on Thursday "as comedians sometimes you do go beyond, past the line."

 

"I still love Kathy Griffin," Foxx said. "She went past the line, she'll pay for it in the way she pays for it, and we'll go out and we'll laugh with her again."

 

"Don't kill the comedian," Foxx added. "There's a lot of people out here doing really bad things and every time a comedian says anything, says something about peanuts, [people say], 'You're peanut-shaming!' [A comedian] says something about dolphins [people say], 'Oh my god, you're a dolphin-shamer.' We're the comics, we're entertainers, we don't mean any harm."

 

President Thin-Skinned and his minions clearly need to grow a heavy set of balls.
