CNN sacks Kathy Griffin over Trump video as backlash builds

[Straw Man]

Lot of bed wetting snowflakes on board.

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

[Straw Man]

You can't keep up, can you?

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

That's accurate.

Except for facebook. If it's on facebook, it's legit.

no joke...

#s 1 and 3 are opinion pieces from different people, #2 is a reported article.

I would have expected this from Coach, you're usually on the ball.

Liberals getting in a tizzy over the mocking of CNN.

please show me in my original post where I insinuated that opinion pieces were fact. 

Pro-tip: you can't


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?

[Straw Man]

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

This borders on a criminal act .

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.

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.

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.

From the mouths of CNN, MSNBC, etc......

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

[Pray_4_War]

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.

Anderson "Jill Stein" Cooper couldn't distance herself from this hoor fast enough

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
