I cold not disagree more. I didn't condone it when it was done against Obama, and I won't condone it against Trump. Plus, it allows him to play the victim, about the only thing he is actually good at.

It was wrong. She crossed the line. She admitted it and apologized for it. That's more than can be said for the liar in chief who has never apologized to anyone for anything at any time. Unfortunately, she'll have to live with the consequences of her misjudgment. I'll miss her and Anderson ringing in the new year together.
I hate Trump just as much as the next person, but that was just disgusting. I'm glad she was fired from CNN and Anderson Cooper was so harsh on her. Gross.
Personal taste aside, the reaction is so beyond hypocritical.
Ted Nugent was actually investigated by the Secret Service for violent rhetoric aimed at President Obama and Hillary Clinton. The response from conservatives? Tons of air time on FOX News. Sean Hannity kissed his vile butt on his radio show, the NRA paid him to speak at their convention, and Trump invited him to the White House. Be outraged at Kathy Griffin all your want, but if you were defending Nugent and/or didn't care that FOX/Hannity/NRA/Trump gave him a megaphone, shut the hell up, because you're more disgusting than Griffin is.
Oh and CNN, you don't get to take the high road. You have that racist POS Jeffrey Lord on your air (and payroll) CONSTANTLY, but Kathy Griffin is where you draw the line? Give me a BREAK.

This is exactly how I feel. Griffin was waaaaay out of line and probably deserved what she got, but the pearl clutching from the Republicans on this is beyond ridiculous and blatant hypocrisy. Ted Nugent threatened to kill the president and never had to apologize.

In the decade (almost) that I've been here, have I ever been known for that? I'm just defending a photograph that I think needs to be vigorously defended.

The left doesn't need it's own Ann Coulter or Ted Nugent. Not to mention it all just comes off as Kathy Grffin being desperate for attention.

This. She doesn't have much going on now anyways. But her career is likely done now.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Yes. Absolutely. The only thing wrong with the photo is that it's not real. That photo would make me cum in my pants."
I hate Trump as much as the next person but this is beyond disturbing. Your vengeful, 'eye-for-an-eye' attitude directly conflicts with one of the most basic tenets of libertarian-ism. Very disappointed in you.

She lost her job at CNN, probably going to be hard to find sponsors for awhile cause companies on either political side will want nothing to do with this for awhile.

Libertarianism isn't pacifism. Are you claiming that Trump has not initiated the use of force or fraud against anyone? Because that's the condition under which libertarians ethically oppose the use of force.
Just to be clear, I oppose the use of actual force against Trump regardless of his own crimes, but that's because it would produce a horrible backlash, not because Trump hasn't earned it.
