CNN cancels Kathy Griffin's NYE contract. nt
Well, not fired... she was hosting a very bad New Year's Eve show with Anderson Cooper.

5. Speech has consequences
Well, not if you're Trump or Nugent or Palin or pretty much any Republican at all.
But outside of that, you can bet that speech has consequences.

8. Meanwhile, Nugent hangs out at the White House...and takes pictures, skinnin' and grinnin' with Chump.

12. I'm curious. Did they ever cover the Obama faux lynchings or the Obama gun range targets?
This seems like much ado about nothing. She's a not very funny comedian who did an especially unfunny bit. Never watched the CNN New Year's show before and won't watch it now.

16. Actions have consequences. The left has standards. When Ted Nugent threatened Barack Obama's life Donald Trump feted him with a invitation to the Whiter House.
The left started all this shit back in 2000 so STFU.

I understand why CNN has taken the action to not have Griffin on for NYE.
I don't think people should be rewarded for such a thing nor should business entities feel they are forced to hold someone who has done such a thing. Seems like a pretty easy move for them to make.
That said, the policy should be even. Trump should not be shown on the network considering how much CNN cares about such things.
Trump spent close to a decade questioning the birth certificate of Obama. Stoking the fears and hatred of racists all across this country. Obama can't be an American citizen because he is black. He must have been born in Africa. This is after Obama even made his BC public.
1) Griffin makes a sick gesture toward a rich white male. I would even argue that she was incited into doing such a thing considering Trumps words and actions toward women.
2) Trump stokes racist hatred and fears across the country. Year after year he questioned the citizenship of the first black President, knowing that Obama was/is a citizen. He riled up millions with his racist language and ignorance.
One is the sitting President. The other is a comedian. There is no comparison.
One wants to strip away healthcare from millions.
One wants to continue, even deepen, the systemic racism in our government.
One wants to roll back and ignore any climate based initiatives.
One wants to turn our allies to enemies.
One hates anything that doesn't look like himself.
The list goes on.
CNN shouldn't carry any situation where Trump is on camera.
Then again, their goal is profits, not consistency.
yup- It's all Trump's fault in this second thread on the topic...

2. Agree. What he has done- inciting violence against HRC etc, and many others, his lies about and attacks on Obama, and what he is doing to the people and to this country and the world is obscene and a crime. The list goes on and on- there's too much to list.
DemSinceTheAbortionFailed thought his post was so clever he started his own thread using it...

CNN let Kathy Griffin go.
Actions have consequences. We the left have standards.

How can a country that elected the *****-grabber be offended by ANYTHING? Man, this ****ing country.

12. I missed something
I missed the outrage when they portrayed Obama hanging from a tree, also when they portrayed the Obama's as natives whith bones through the nose and bananas in their hands.

When will the Hollyweird left realize that they are nothing more than today's court jesters here to amuse me by singing, dancing and acting for me. I do not want to hear a political opinion of people living and working in fantasy land.
Now dance for me.

The left started all this shit back in 2000 so STFU.
I'd say 1976, when Ronald Reagan almost upset Gerald Ford.

Does anyone have any corroborating evidence of what The Nuge did or what Palin did?
Because if there is I would have seen it nonstop in the fake news media.

There's this about Nugent. (https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/04/quote-of-the-day-ted-nugent-threatens-barack-obama/256025/) You really have pretzellate what he said to make it an actual threat, though.
Not that facts matter to DU-folk.
As for Sarah Palin, they might be referring to this comment. (http://time.com/4187437/sarah-palin-track-ptsd-obama-trump/) Basically Palin was suggesting that better services at the VA might have averted what happened. It's a fair statement - as an opinion - given the crap that was happening at VA hospitals during BHO's administration (a can that probably got kicked down the road for trump to handle).
DU-folk frequently make vague allusions to things real and imaginary as if their perception of those things are universal common knowledge. I suppose vagueness is somewhat of a defense against fact-checking.

I about spit all over my screen when I read that. With that said; although very low and consistently inconsistent, I guess they do have standards technically.

They do have a consistent standard; it is that whatever conservatives are saying or doing is hateful and worse than what liberals do by several orders of magnitude.

16. ... When Ted Nugent threatened Barack Obama's life Donald Trump feted him with a invitation to the Whiter House.
DSB kind of fast-forwards past the 4 and 9 years between Nugent's comments DSB calls threats against Obama's life and Nugent's visit to the WH. He also omits the 8 years in which Obama's Secret Service and FBI did not regard Nugent's comments as threats.

You, i(D)iot. Teh Donald was the ONLY hope to put the brakes on you infants.

I keep seeing people bringing up about Obama. The difference here is that a D list celebrity is involved.

Not even ZZ-list celebs would post Obama-with-noose pix: the Progs among them would be too worshipful; the (few) conservatives among them aren't racist-stupid or stupid generally.

That's right DUmb****s, conservatives can take scalps too.

" Obama can't be an American citizen because he is black. He must have been born in Africa."
1) Nobody ever said that, and you know it.
2) Obama isn't black. He's mixed race, born from a white mother and a father who had more Arabic blood in him than African.
"1) Griffin makes a sick gesture toward a rich white male. I would even argue that she was incited into doing such a thing considering Trumps words and actions toward women. "
1) Gotta love the poster dehumanizing Trump by referring to him as a "Rich white man," and in a post accusing OTHERS of racism, to boot.
2) Of course, as is typical for liberals, the DUmmy finds a way to justify the repulsive, obscene thing Griffin did. Liberals love coming up with excuses and justifications for lawless, amoral scum.
"2) Trump stokes racist hatred and fears across the country."
Kind of like Barack 'If I had a son, he'd look just like Trayvon Martin' Obama. He loved inflaming racial tensions every chance he could, to increase the likelihood of black- on- white violence.
"One wants to turn our allies to enemies."
Again, you're talking about what Obama did to the British, the Israelis, the Hondurans, the Egyptians, the Russians, etc..

I wonder what she will do when ISIS comes after her for cultural appropriation. :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
