Griffin/Warren 2020 looking even less likely now

[bigtree]

Josh Marshall? @joshtpm

Kathy Griffin's stupid photo was gross & offensive. She should lose her leadership role in the DNC and no longer be a candidate for office.


brian coggeshall? @BrianBcogz
griffin/warren 2020 is looking even less likely now.

[FM123]

1. It was also reported

That her chances of receiving the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize is even less likely now

[longship]

2. What kind if of crap is this?

[Mosby]

3. prety sure its a joke

About why people are freaking out about a photo taken with griffin holding a bloody trump head. There goes her political career, lol.

[bigtree]

6. form of satire

... from Josh Marshall.

[Solly Mack]

4. Shame. She had a head up on the rest.

No. I'm not sorry I typed that.

I'm not even sorry I thought it.

So there!

[bigtree]

7. most of them running around like chickens

....

[Solly Mack]

8. with their heads cut off?

[bigtree]

9. .

[Solly Mack]

11. hehe

[tonedevil]

5. My sentiments...

precisely.

[Txbluedog]

10. She went too far...

That is not acceptable. There has to be a modicum for respect for the office of the President and the person holding the office (even if the person holding it does not do anything to deserve it)

[bigtree]

12. right

...I'm typing my letter to Comedy Central right now.

[Kentonio]

13. She went too far, but I'll never have a single iota of respect for the current president.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Don't Agree, Sorry

The person who is subrogating respect for the office of POTUS is the current occupant. Kathy is just a commentator.

[Txbluedog]

16. So you would have been ok with some right wing comedian doing the same to Obama...

[tenderfoot]

17. Ted Nugent spewed bullshit throughout Obama's tenure... he never apologized

So spare me.

[Txbluedog]

18. There is a differemce betweem spewing bullshit

and holding up a beheaded bloody head

[tenderfoot]

19. Depending on who it involves...

Have a nice day.

[SoCalMusicLover]

26. These Are Just Your Local Racist Assholes

Different when you are someone famous who gets worldwide press coverage.

[tenderfoot]

29. even after they apologized

unlike those local racist assholes and the plethora of right wing celebrities that called for violence against Obama.

[ProfessorGAC]

20. No, But I Don't Understand The Contrast

I stated quite unambiguously that the current occupant is an international laughingstock who has forfeited the respect of the office. Since Obama didn't do that, you're comparing apples to oranges.

And, they did do it to Obama. Lynching imagery and the like.

Your context is quite skewed.

[NCTraveler]

21. Who does the current occupant of the office have respect for?

I'm dying here.

[Txbluedog]

22. Himself and only himself

[NCTraveler]

23. And Trump himself showed the office respect when it was President Obama, right? nt.

[Txbluedog]

24. Again big difference in words and what Griffin did

[NCTraveler]

25. Yes, big difference in saying a sitting President must be from Africa because he is black.

One helps to continue to foster hatred toward a whole group of people while the other is a shitty stunt directed at a wealthy white man.

Yep, big difference.

[Txbluedog]

27. What he said was outrageous

but it wasn't on the same level as pretending to decapitate the President of the United States

[LanternWaste]

32. Questioning the authenticity of citizen and president is not as bad as "pretend?"

Questioning the authenticity of citizen and president is not as bad as "pretend?"

This is where the pretense of ethics begins to jump the shark.

[Txbluedog]

34. Questioning something is not the same as implying comitting phyiscal harm to someone

[NCTraveler]

35. You have to be kidding.

Your words here are appalling.

[Txbluedog]

37. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree

[NCTraveler]

38. I agree that you are wrong.

And highly offensive while being wrong.

[Txbluedog]

39. so you have your point of view and anyone who doesn't agree is wrong?

Tell me what the difference between you and a Trump supporter is?

[NCTraveler]

40. "Tell me what the difference between you and a Trump supporter is?"

I don't provide cover for racists nor do I dismiss the severity of racism in society.


I like how you stepped up your game for this reply.

[Txbluedog]

41. No but you refuse to critisize someone for doing something vile and wrong...

just because the object of her scorn and attack is someone you don't like, exactly like they think

[NCTraveler]

42. Where did I refuse to criticize her?

Now you have gone to full out dishonest mode. I think your previous posts were at least honest. Not very flattering to you, but honest.

[FakeNoose]

28. He has complimented Pootie many times

'Memba him?

[LanternWaste]

30. Why?

"There has to be a modicum for respect for the office..."

Why?

[Txbluedog]

31. Why!?

Because the holder is the head of state.

[ProudLib72]

14. Sigh

Now we go back to Colbert/Warren.

[Hestia]

44. We could do worse ;)

[Initech]

33. I think Kathy Griffin should have her liberal card revoked.

Conservatives and deplorables now think we're all violent thugs who want to see T decapitated.

FWIW, I couldn't give a flying fuck what they think about us, but if we're going to start winning elections and flipping districts, this is*NOT* the kind of image we need as a party right now, it will only alienate people.

[Hestia]

43. I'm sure she'll step down from her chair position this afternoon - (the hell?)

If somebody refuses to vote for the Democratic Party because of her pic, then, I'm fairly sure they aren't a person we could work with. All this poutrage - it gets really old really quick.

Plus, I don't get why he drug his son into this Faux-cas - why is an eleven old child reading that type of tweet, or whatever it was, in the first place? EVERYTHING is NOT for children's consumption. It's why we have age appropriate restrictions at movies.

[Initech]

45. Yeah that really pissed me off too.

Does Trump really blast Fox into his living room 24/7? What kind of crap does he watch where his son would be exposed to something like that? Or does he have an unfiltered Twitter account? WTF?

[Hestia]

46. I'm sure he was 'just thinking about the children' but THAT was out of bounds

more so that KG's pic.

Wasn't there something about a TV being installed in the Dining Room at the WH? It was blurbed (new word) in the story about how
everyone was served water instead of Diet Coke - the horrors! - and other tidbits being slung around.
