    Her/its Albuquerque stint has already been cancelled.

    Vegas is contemplating pulling out.

    That's just for starters.

    It's no wonder s/he/it is begging and apologizing like a cheap whore.

    Nobody, eh? You might wake up and study a website called "TVBytheNumbers." CNN and MSNBC take Fox News extremely seriously. (Money, honey.)

    And it's the Left who are all over her about this, worried that the vulgar stunt will discredit their anti-Trump crusade.

    Nice rationalization.

    If we're going with that, we can say that Hillary's LW Fever Swamp supporters gave Trump exactly what he wanted by getting their panties in a bunch with feigned outrage.

    And still is.

    Trump has played the LW like a pathetic violin, amirite?

    It must SUCK for you and the LW to be so PREDICTABLE.

    I don't see them rebuking her, but they will as soon as they get done with their focus groups so they can provide their faked up focus group polled response. The ISIS pose, with the severed head of the elected US president? My goodness. I guess only Bill Clinton could have a
    Sister Souljah moment?

    Don’t Blame Hillary. “She was a flawed messenger, but her party has a problem with its message.”

    It has been a consistent pattern for Mrs. Clinton. On almost any issue that energizes her party—from same-sex marriage to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal—Mrs. Clinton has gone where the party has pulled her even if it meant going against where she had been. This is what Hollywood actress Rosario Dawson meant last summer when she asked a group of Sanders delegates at the convention to understand that Mrs. Clinton “is not a leader, she’s a follower.”

    But on what became the single overriding theme of her campaign, Mrs. Clinton was truly in sync with her party. This is the idea that she should be elected because she’s a woman, and that a coalition of millennials, minorities and women would come together to make it happen. So where Donald Trump had “Make America Great Again,” Mrs. Clinton had the identity project par excellence: “I’m with her.”

    After all, who could be more deserving to succeed the first African-American president than the first woman president?

    It didn’t turn out that way. And if you take the Trump blinders off for some perspective, there’s another dynamic that had little to do with Mrs. Clinton: the hemorrhaging of Democratic seats over the Obama years—from the governorships to state legislatures to Capitol Hill—to the point where the Democratic Party is now at its lowest levels in a century.

    By the time Mrs. Clinton had secured the nomination for president, she had embraced everything a far more progressive party wanted her to embrace. But she also inherited a party that was losing elections all across the country.

    Barack Obama said he wanted to be a transformative president in a way that Bill Clinton wasn’t, but I doubt this is what he had in mind.

    "We are pleased to see she has apologized," CNN said in a statement. "We are evaluating New Year's Eve and have made no decisions at this point."

    I don't really care, as I don't stay up that late on NY Eve, but canning her and sending her to limbo, like what happened to Michael Richards, might help in a small way to dial back the hateful online rhetoric directed 24/7 at the President.

    Of course, this place will still host such rhetoric, as some of the posts in this thread indicate.

    I think you're missing the point. It's not the gore and fake blood that are as upsetting as much as the insinuation that she, like Madonna (another liberal, mind you) is at least depicted as enjoying a fantasy of murdering our Chief Executive. Hard to imagine she didn't actually fantasize about killing him as they discussed, planned, prepared, and shot the picture. This was no impulsive selfie.

    There really is just so much wrong with that picture. I mean, you've got this horrific face that's scary enough to give Freddy Kreuger nightmares slapped over a vile yet basic personality devoid of intellect.

    Oh, and there's also the Donald Trump head.

    Rush Limbaugh never did "the magic Negro". Limbaugh did a lampoon of someone else who called Obama the "magic Negro".

    2 guesses who.

    And this is why I'm getting tired of politics. People would rather be rude, crude, and insulting instead of actually discussing issues respectfully. Left, right, it doesn't matter anymore. We have a huge divide and no one wants to fix it. Solutions and unity be damned, someone else has a different opinion so violence and bigotry must be used instead. If that's the America you're fighting for then you can have it. I'll wipe my hands of it and go my own way.

    Why would CNN to fire Kathy Griffin for pretending she beheaded Donald Trump, when Wolf Blitzer and his staff fantasized about Trump's assassination months ago?

    Clearly, Kathy Griffin thought about what she was going to do long before she actually did it. It certainly was not improvised. She is not only an ugly slattern, she lies:

    I don't really know what drives network decisions. I joked above about it being a question of money and ratings, but crazy and vulgar Keith Olbermann was fired by Comcast/MSNBC when his ratings were at their zenith. Maybe some TV execs do have morals.

    Well the term was popularized by Spike Lee, and applied to Barack Obama by David Ehrenstein who used it in the title "Obama the 'Magic Negro'" for an editorial he wrote for the Los Angeles Times.

    Rush Limbaugh began discussing Ehrenstein's op ed on the day it was published, casting Ehrenstein's column as an example of left-wing racism. He predicted that though The Left had thrown term 'Magic Negro' into the 2008 political presidential race that they would claim that it originated with him. He even sang a little diddy using the words "Barack the magic negro" to the tune of "Puff, the Magic Dragon". Shortly after that Paul Shanklin recorded a song about Barack the Magic Negro set to that same tune, which Limbaugh played repeatedly throughout the 2008 presidential election season, always to lampoon Leftwing Racism.

    Blitzer introduced a segment, asking:

    “What if an incoming president and his immediate successors were wiped out on day one?”

    CNN contributor Brian Todd took over to outline the line of succession if an attack blew up the inaugural dais, killing both Trump and Pence.The upshot was that in the case of both were killed, the Secretary of State would take over, and that would be John Kerry.

    But later another CNN realized that since his office to became vacant at noon, that it would be the Speaker of the House — Republican Paul Ryan — another theorized that it would be Obama’s Under Secretary for Political Affairs Tom Shannon. Another suggested that the designated survivor appointed by the Obama administration would become president if enough died in the disaster. So, in CNN’s analysis, worst-case scenario would keep the Obama administration in power, at least indirectly.

    Griffin represents this pathetic lunatic network quite well.

    Not sure if I agree with everything in this article. Might be worth reading.

    She rehearsed that apology before she had the camera shoot. She should be shunned by her fellow comedians and the industry.

    My posts always seem to fly over Angrytaxpayer's head. It always gets a quizzical, nonplussed, reply from Angrytaxpayer. Have you considered investing in anger management?

    Kathy Griffin image with beheaded Trump gets attention of Secret Service

    By Victor Morton
    05-30-2017

    Kathy Griffin’s picture triumphantly holding up the “bloody” decapitated “head” of a Donald Trump dummy is receiving the attention of the Secret Service. After she posted the image, numerous people on social media not only criticized her but also tagged the Secret Service, the agency charged with protecting the president and handling assassination threats.
    [**Snip**]
    The agency’s Twitter feed acknowledged the reports Tuesday evening and said it is “on it!”

    “On it! @SecretService has a robust protective intelligence division that monitors open source reporting & social media to evaluate threats,” the agency wrote.

    “Threats made against @SecretService protectees receive the highest priority of all of our investigations. #ProtectionNeverRests,” the Secret Service continued.

    This is the same method ISIS uses to terrorize and oppress. There is no defense for actions like this by anyone. She can hide behind the comedienne mask but in truth she is nothing more than a liberal terrorist.
    To be fair, normalizing these kind of things are an incitement to violence and is extremely dangerous and very CRIMINAL. The Progressive Marxist Left should stop trying to defend the indefensible.
    Even in effigy, the actions of Kathy Griffin is a terroristic threat, possibly a hate crime, one of the Left's favorite charges normally hurled at the right. At a minimum, charge her with those crimes and make her lawyer up and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars defending herself from the Federal Government.
    Kathy Griffin took it one Bridge to Far.

    Judging by the panic in her voice, I'm guessing someone got a Secret Service visit.
