CNN let Kathy Griffin go.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Actions have consequences. We the left have standards.

When Ted Nugent threatened Barack Obama's life Donald Trump feted him with a invitation to the Whiter House.

[Chasstev365]

1. Execellent point!

Still; she was very foolish tp do what she did.

[SCantiGOP]

17. without even considering the controversy

I am glad if I never see her obnoxious mug on my TV again. Have always thought she was one of the most unlikable and irritating personalities around.

[Chasstev365]

24. Couldn't agree more!

[Hortensis]

2. CNN isn't left. But good. We DO have standards,

and she went waaay over my line.

[Txbluedog]

3. WE HAVE STANDARDS

Trump and his ILK don't have any (or any sense or morals for that matter)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. I feel bad she wrecked her career but that was exquisitely poor judgment.

[yodermon]

9. .. and the fact that she wrecked it over this ORANGE ASSHAT is especially sad.

oh well. I always thought she was funny.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. I probably wouldn't have fired her because I'm a softie but I can't see how she possibly thought ...

I probably wouldn't have fired her because I'm a softie but I can't see how she possibly thought it was a good idea. I constantly censor myself when it comes to Chump. I want him humiliated and humbled and his world views discredited but I do not want to see him hurt.

[Txbluedog]

11. I don't necessarily think she wrecked her career

She can still do comedy but not political comedy

[LonePirate]

4. Repub orthodoxy: Free speech for the right is mandatory. Free speech for the left is forbidden.

[Initech]

7. Exactly what that murderer in Portland thinks.

These psychos are playing a very dangerous game with their free speech arguments. It's dangerous, stupid, and scary.

[JHan]

27. This is everything.++++

The right is entitled to visceral anger and emotion.

The left is not, even when justified. Trump has done far worse than Kathy Griffin , yet he is President. He shames the Presidency, seeks to implement policies that will hurt Americans and has his surrogates assault the sanity of Americans every day.

But an act Griffin has been doing for decades ( I don't think this is the first time she's used a fake bloody head as a prop) is now what's hot in the streets.

[LOL Lib]

6. NO!

She owned it and apologized. Why do you want to continue to crucify her? The right would reward someone and be pissed if the someone apologized. She made a mistake and apologized, to continue to punish her is wrong! You can personally boycott her if you choose. I will support her.

[MFM008]

19. Agree

And I wouldn't have apologized.

[LOL Lib]

23. ++

Trump deserves ZERO apologies given all the people he has belittled. Not to mention the multiple times he encouraged gun violence against HRC. He deserves no respect and no mercy. The ignorance he spewed regarding President Obama was enough to earn him a seat in hell, the mocking of handicapped? Forget about it, Donnie 2 Scoops is lower than whale shit.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

28. I'm with you... that Nazi Trump is the one whose career should be over! Impeach him now!

[LOL Lib]

29. Exactly and when have you ever heard a sincere apology from that pig?

Never! He would just deny doing it. That's what KG should have done. Deny it!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

32. lol LOL... Trump apologize?! That would be the miracle of all miracles!

[RhodeIslandOne]

33. I can't boycott someone I never paid attention to

CNN made a business decision, like other businesses have dropped conservative moonbats for their bullshit. I don't even know why they employ a third rate comedian, but that's the state of news these days.

[SCVDem]

8. It would have been okay

If it were Halloween.

How many photos of real lynchings were posted during Obama's term? Those were real, unlike this!

[Lifelong Protester]

12. I'm afraid I will look for a new NYE to watch

Me and my spouse are old; we watch TV on NYE. I am not a fan of what Kathy Griffin did, but I will miss her and Anderson Cooper. I will miss her talking with Joy Reid on MSNBC. She did not think before she posed, and will live with it for a long while. The "nuge" does not seem to have any consequences.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. No consequences for the "Nuge" because his cretinous followers have no standards.

We are better people.

BTW Nuge made a twelve year old Courtney Love blow him. You can google it.

[Lifelong Protester]

16. I'll take your word for it.

I don 't have enough eye or brain bleach to use the google.

[Leith]

20. Same Here

Her antics and poor Anderson's nervous giggle were funny and they had some great chemistry on camera.

It looks like I'll be watching something else on NYE, too.

Still, it would be nice if there were some real consequences to a reichwinger demonstrating how he would put a gun in a liberal's mouth. Besides being invited to the State of the Union, that is.

[HAB911]

14. Kathy Griffin: CNN's human sacrifice

Kathy Griffin: CNN's human sacrifice to appease the professionally outraged people who will never watch @CNN anyway.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. Within in their rights

Personally my reaction to what she did is a big fat "meh".

[MFM008]

18. Lewendowski hits a woman

CNN hires him.
Griffin bores us, they fire her.
Hypocrisy.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

22. K&R. This was a stupid stunt and a gift to the repubs et al who like to claim 'both sides do it.'

[NurseJackie]

25. I liked her! I think she's funny! I hope CNN reconsiders after the dust settles...

... she did apologize after all. It's not like she has her own nightly show... it's ONCE A YEAR on New Year's Eve... she's a comedian who had a joke that failed. Big deal. Get over it. Move on, CNN.

She's the perfect foil for giggling Anderson Cooper. She's abrasive and pushes the envelope, and it's fun to watch her try to embarrass Anderson.

They didn't fire her for this:


And they didn't fire her for this:

[ProudProgressiveNow]

26. To be replaced by Montana Congressman Greg Gianforte. nt

[gopiscrap]

30. CNN is a bunch of chicken shit trump humpers

[cwydro]

31. She lost an advertising gig and a comedy gig too.

She's ruined her career (what there was of it).

I found the photo repellent, and it put me in mind of the barbarians of ISIS. We do not need to be associated with those monsters.
