Kathy Griffin is my Hero

Anyone else?

Sure.

Love her! Delish!

Happy to hear that she is now cancer free.

Will Andy Cooper apologize.? He really threw her under the bus.

I love her and she has my full support.

I hope to see her tour after Covid. Front row baby. Love her!

She was great in Roger Rabbit.

There are several people, including Cohen and Copper, who owe her a major, public apology.

Yes r9. They were defending Trump like he was some legitimate president that deserves respect?

Give me a break. This is not aged well for them. Trump was a monster and Kathy is one brave chick. She has balls of steel. They almost killed her.

I hope she gets her due respect.

She didn't deserve the vitriol directed toward her considering the violence they invite on a daily basis. I hope she is doing well.

Call me a woke swj but I just don't think killing people is funny.

After all, it was a comedy video. For Cooper to be so offended is ridiculous. He is too uptight and has no sense of humor.

I think you have to do something pretty bad to have a career taken away. Save that for the truly evil.

Look at Jan 6th. That is some outrages violence. Not this silly video.

[quote]Call me a woke swj

Oh, dear.

R14, It wasn’t a comedy video. She held up the mask in exchanger for a free photo shoot with Tyler Shields. She was an idiot and it was tacky.

It was a joke. She is a comedian. Get over it.

If you are intent on being mad about something then look at all the Charlottesville violence and rethugs running over people with their cars.

Much worse than a silly joke.

I never thought she should be cancelled over this whole stunt. It just wasn’t clever or funny. Neither is Ted Nugent calling Obama a mongrel or telling Hillary to suck on his machine gun. I hate Trump as much as the next gay liberal but not impressed with Kathy either. That said, the outrage against her was a bit overblown.

R15 How was January 6 violent when only one person died and that was a woman murdered by police?

R20 dumbfuck

Not playing.

If Roseanne had held up a prop mean to symbolize Obama’s decapitated head yo all would have been outraged.

Hypocritical cunts

OP, get a grip. She may have been cool is she stood her ground. Instead, she gave a pathetic press conference in which she cried about how they “broke her” and tried to make herself into a victim. It was a stupid move on her part and frankly it was fake. She got famous for saying mean shit. She got famous for being racist, agest, fatphobic and sexist in her comedy. And now, she is some how sanctimoniously against Trump for being mean?

R21 How is what I said wrong? How was it violence? The media has told us that it is okay to loot and burn during a protest. Many BLM protest had federal building being burned. How is it different? Explain?

She tried to play the innocent dupe regarding the photo. This from a woman whose comic persona was that of a smart woman! And her apology was fake. She certainly was aware of cancel culture so why act so surprised?

R26 Kathy always plays the victim. This was clear enough on her show and how she treated Matt. She economically abused him and then left him when he tried to access shared funds.

Kathy always tries and plays the victim. It is pathetic. I respect her for sticking it to Ellen when Joan died about her not giving the proper respect. But in almost every other conflict she has been in, she is shown herself to be unhinged, unhappy and narcissistic.

Throw back to when Kathy tried to come for Don Cheadle and he put her in her place. He also used the phrase Die In A Grease Fire. Is he a DLer?

Didn't Griffin throw Guiliana Rancic under the bus for a comment Rancic made about patchouli and weed on Live from the Red Carpet effectively putting an end to the show? The bitch would throw her own mother under the bus!

Correction R20, a domestic terrorist attempting to interfere with the American government was handled in the only way she understood.

[quote]That said, the outrage against her was a bit overblown.

It was *far* more than "a bit", r19.

Griffin in response to Trump said, 'He broke me!' This one can't be blamed on Trump. Even Chelsea Clinton spoke out publicly against what Griffin did. She put herself in an indefensible position.

I’d rather see Kevin hart canceled for saying he would kill his son if he were gay. How is that ugly fucker getting so much work these days… oh right, it’s not only fine to shit on gays, it’s also HILARIOUS!

It really bothers me how TV shows use the word faggot all the time. Sometimes it’s even on shows that seem pro-gay and they probably think they’re doing good putting gay topics out there. I don’t think that word should ever be used on mainstream television. How is it different than a racial slur?

R32 Her victim roleplaying was far more overblown

Team Kathy. She never should have apologized. THAT was her major mistake.

R34 correction: It is fine to shit on gays if you are Black.

I’m with the other softhearted, or maybe superstitious, people in this thread who thought the picture was over the line of bad taste.

But I also think it’s a strikingly and beautifully composed picture and piece of art. The reds and blues and blue-red blood. I could see it ending up in a museum.

R37,

Not only majority black shows-

I really love Grace and Frankie, but they’ve said faggot a few times and I really don’t think that should be acceptable.

Kathy Griffin is a HOMOPHOBE who built a career around OUTING gay celebs for the sake of a punchline. She can go FUCK HERSELF!

She was great when she did the whole D-list thing, but now comes across more as a political Karen with an axe to grind.

Trump used Homeland security to terrorize this comedian and the defenders of freedom of speech left her left and right. That's hypocrisy at its finest.

Go Kathy! The deplorables in here are unhindered. As usual.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear gingers synthetic wigs.

[quote]Can you imagine what he would have done with a second term? He was trying to sell out America to other countries and would have locked all the liberals into concentration camps.

That's still a probable outcome, being as how Republicans are currently rigging election laws to be able to overturn outcomes they don't like, and Manchin/Sinema have blocked the Senate so that Democrats cannot stop them from doing it.

[quote] Even Chelsea Clinton spoke out publicly against what Griffin did.

Which shows how ridiculous it was. It was a picture. Same hypocrites calling Charlie Hebdo throwing her under the bus.

[quote] It really bothers me how TV shows use the word faggot all the time

Are you typing from 1982? I watch everything as part of my job and I haven't seen this in years if not decades.

R47,

I wasn’t even alive in 1982? It’s said all the time. What are you talking about?

I'm not hearing it anywhere, R34/R48. If you are, maybe you shouldn't be watching those shows.

The last was Grace and Frankie (when Saul was confronting the protesters). Comedians use it all the time- as R37 said, they’re usually black comedians.

It’s not usually used in malicious ways, but I feel it normalizes the word for the general population.

Isn't it time to start chugging your own piss, R20? Mind your manners and let the adults talk.

Go Kathy! She's ours. Gutsy bitch.

Knowing what we know today, the damage he wrought and the assholes he emboldened? She didn’t go FAR ENOUGH.

Kathy knew Trump before his rise to political power, when he was just a common shyster and shithead. She knew he wouldn't change.

Kathy Griffin makes Meg Griffin seem normal.

and worst of all Squatty Potty dropped Griffin over the controversial photo!

Aren't rethugs usually the one making fun of cancel culture, etc? They "cancelled" the shit out of Kathy Griffin - way more than deserved.

This just reminded me that Yashar Ali engineered her big comeback with that NYMag feature, and then she threw him under the bus. LOL.

Is R20 / R25 the anti vaxx weirdo from East Europe? These posts sure remind me of that fuckwit.

Block the cumdump @R20, and bring me his head on a platter!

R60, if only he were a cumdump. As a cumdump, he'd be useful.

Trump deserves a classy artist like that Artemisia chick.

Love Kathy. But yesterday's NYT article written by Katherine Rosman is shoddy and lame. Adds NOTHING to the current discussion. Stale drivel. And the photos were ... interesting in a lazy, lackluster way. What crap.

R18 I agree. After Charlottesville I now forgive anyone on the left for anything they do because I correctly just think to myself "God, Charlottesville changed everything and republicans REFUSE to acknowledge that I think that; how can I be mad at Kathy when Charlottesville happened?" It sounds like R18 thinks like I do, which is to say, nuts.

Sure, Freeper Cunt Fuck R31.

Sure.

Beg pardon R31. I take that back.
