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

griffin/warren 2020 is looking even less likely now.

(1,128 posts)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)
...I'm typing my letter to Comedy Central right now.

(8,432 posts)unlike those local racist assholes and the plethora of right wing celebrities that called for violence against Obama.
ProfessorGAC
(65,042 posts)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.

(30,481 posts)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.

(1,128 posts)but it wasn't on the same level as pretending to decapitate the President of the United States

(37,748 posts)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

(30,481 posts)And highly offensive while being wrong.
Txbluedog
(1,128 posts)Tell me what the difference between you and a Trump supporter is?
NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)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
(1,128 posts)just because the object of her scorn and attack is someone you don't like, exactly like they think
NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)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.

Why?

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.

(3,818 posts)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
(100,075 posts)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
(3,818 posts)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.
