NEW YORK (AP) — Kathy Griffin has lost a decade-long gig ringing in the new year for CNN as a backlash builds over her video displaying a likeness of President Donald Trump's severed head.
CNN, which had called the images "disgusting and offensive" after Griffin posted the video on Tuesday, announced Wednesday it would not invite her back this year for the Times Square live New Year's Eve special she had co-hosted annually since 2007 with CNN's Anderson Cooper.
A New Mexico casino has also canceled a performance by Griffin, who was scheduled to perform at Route 66 Casino, operated by Laguna Pueblo, on July 22.
And a commercial endorsement deal was canceled just weeks after she landed it. Squatty Potty, a Utah-based company whose products include toilet stools and other bathroom accessories, said it was suspending an ad campaign that featured Griffin.

And they should. I mean, how you can not imagine something like that would be offensive and stupid?

the reason she didn't know it was offensive and stupid is because she is stupid and not at all funny
never understood why she was on CNN in the first place
then again, there was a time when Glenn Beck was on CNN so I guess the standards there are pretty low
-
WTF ???
This borders on a criminal act . I'm 100% serious and disgusted by this failed attempt at political humor.
It's disgusting and CNN was right to fire her.
Plus, we don't impeach and convict a President without clear evidence of serious crimes.
Things are getting ridiculous now and we all need to stop and THINK .
I've wanted a bit more civility in our forum dialogue and recently said
I was taking the gloves off.
That was a natural reaction, but not what I want to promote in my political discourse.
So, fuk it, Id rather be thought a to be a lame ass wimp, then some rude
disgusting hack.
I'll do my best to promote decent or at least funny dialogue here and IGNORE the personal insult attacks.

no it doesn't
just a totally stupid and tone deaf joke from a horrible comedian
btw - fuck civility
try to keep in mind who is POTUS
This is Trump's America and he has set the new standard and there is nothing civil or polite about it
-

go find the tmz video where she was seriously telling the photographer that they will need to move to Mexico immediately.
if it were just a harmless joke, why would she be saying that?
-
Strongly disagree.
I agree that Trump is a bad example as POTUS, with his crude rhetoric.
But escalating rude , ignorant talk will result in the downfall of our nation.
I think it requires a 2 step solution:
1. Lead by example.
Let's each and every one of us act in a decent manner when debating politics.
2. Calmly and firmly correct rude behavior.
Let's be the adults in the room. If someone is rude, make a calm yet firm reminder of it.
If they continue , tell them their insults are unacceptable and refuse to engage them any longer.
If we marginalize the juvenile, immature rhetoric, we can quickly gain civility.
if rude and ignorant talk were going to lead to our downfall it would have happened a long time ago
have you ever seen political rhetoric from 100 or 200 years ago
it's was just as harsh (if not worse) than today
-

You know you're history and that's true.
BUT, the great leaders are remembered for their greet deeds.
The petty insulting rhetoric has always been there and always will be.
The real goal is to rise above it and accomplish great things.
Trump can keep tweeting, but, he needs to go positive and start working with congress.

you go find it
I couldn't give less of a shit
I have no doubt that all of her jokes are not only stupid but not funny
-
Serious question. Which current female comedian is funny?

She is a good representative of the psychotic left

I would not disagree with that
there is a psychotic left just like there is a psychotic right and she is definitely a good representative of the psychotic left

Good point and she only appeals to an extreme , liberal element.
As corny as it sounds , I refuse to be left or right.
I'm old school, middle of the road, 100% for America.

Lot of bed wetting snowflakes on board.

This is nonsensical and a total false equivalency. She's a comedian (in theory) and the joke sucked. CNN fired her. End of story. Done.
There is no one in elected office on the left that is remotely comparable to what gets elected on the right. Case in point. President Trump.

KG's disgusting act crossed any line of decency.
I'm no fan of Trump, but I refuse to excuse any obnoxious act by a D list celeb.

Another zinger from the Yamcha! ;D
But you forgot the dems have elected Maxine W and Nancy P
to represent California for the past 80 years LOL

Females are better at comedy (IMO) but just goes to show how the MSM seeks to destroy all good things. Because the mainstream ones are terrible, I agree.

Dude, I'm a liberal democrat and I will readily admit that we have our share of moonbats in elected office as well entertainers or whatever Griffin is supposed to be.
I definitely agree the Dems have no one remotely has insane as Trump and I'd wager most of Repubs in Congress (certainly the Tbaggers) are crazier than a shit house rat.

nope not a joke
two of those are opinion pieces and just like most other news/media outlets (perhaps with the exception of Faux News, Newsmax etc..) you will see different editorial writers with different opinions
Is this something you're not aware of?

Not only was it stupid and not funny but extremely poor taste and if it causes advertisers to bail then CNN is going to make her walk the plank
All she did for them was a shitty NYE show
-

Definitely hard to keep up with your stupidity
Have you ever read contradictory opinions in the New York Times
That's rhetorical of course since you've probably never read it once in your life

Also, you may want to re-evaluate your life because you truly seem to be getting upset on a bodybuilding forum over politics.

please point out where I said that you said they were FACTS
you posted three headlines (two of which appear contradictory at face value) and wrote "no joke"
Are you surprised that different writer have different opinions
is that the "no joke" that you thought was so funny?
-
Then go fuck yourself.
BTW you know it's a really bad move on her part when Clinton News Network speaks out against it.
in the spirit of Trumps America go fuck yourself right back
that should be the new greeting of hello and goodbye in Trumps America (kind of like Aloha in Hawaii)
Fuck You

Err, what "criminal act" do you think this, admittedly vile, disgusting and reprehensible bit of schtick from some no-name c*** that wishes to get five more minutes of fame by doing something shocking, borders on?

Threatening the life of the President is a federal crime.
I was clear it "bordered" on being criminal since she's a comedian, albeit not too funny.
In was a disgusting act that had no political humor.

This kind of conduct is made possible by the climate of hate created by people with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

oh brother, you can't be fucking serious
Trump and his supporters have done more to create a climate of hate than anyone on the left

I agree not a crime at all. I don't think she had any intent to actually behead Trump.
I will say, however, that her conduct isn't much different than the professor who recently called for Trump's execution. These people have really lost their minds.

This guy never ceases to spew out all that he hears from his leaders.

Kathy Griffin is not and was not ever funny. She sucks and there is no reason for her to have even a small bit of fame or wealth.
The fact that she worked for CNN and was a spokesperson for Squatty Potty speak volumes.
Kathy Griffin should work at Costco.

This fool held a press conference with the daughter (Lisa Bloom) of the most irritating woman in America (Gloria Allred) standing by her side, fake crying, claiming Trump and his family have ruined her career. One of the most ridiculous things I've seen in a while.

Every liberal mouthpiece threw this dumb kunt under the bus and ran away.

I'd hardly call that a threat; vile, disgusting and pandering, yes but a threat? Besides courts have repeatedly ruled that the threat must be credible and that there are exceptions related to speech.
Ultimately, the fact that Griffin isn't already being charged is, itself, proof that the powers that be don't think they have a chance in hell of getting a true bill from a federal grand jury.

now i understand what people are talking about when they talk about the "pussification" of the west.
didn't you have protesters booing and hissing returning soldiers from vietnam and holding up baby killer placards?
and now you're all pssing in your pants because a comedian cuts the head off an effigy ???
so 50 years ago it was more acceptable to express disdain for the establishment than it is now
complete pussification
